Most high school students believe that college lifeconsists of hours of free time, without supervision, in which they can revel in their newfoundfreedom. After an evening with college students, the high school students suddenly realize thatcollege life requires a lot of responsibility and dedication.Participants:Eighteen students participated in each week of the camp. Of the campers, 36 percent were risingsophomores, 39 percent were rising juniors, 17 percent were rising seniors, and the remainderhad graduated the previous June (8 percent).

The question of ethics in these true-to-lifedesign studies were never directly brought to the attention of the students just as they willnever be a forewarning of imminent ethical dangers in real-life engineering practice.

They found that faculty tended to drastically under-estimate the time spend at thecomputer by practicing engineers in industry. The main software tool used being spreadsheets(74%), graphics presentation packages (80%), database systems (70%) and electroniccommunications (89%). These facts certainly do not invalidate the opinion that processsimulation software is “a tool that graduating chemical engineers should be familiar with.”They do, however, imply that programs would do well to examine whether they spend toomuch time on activities that familiarize students with the software

We both observed anatypical number of drops and F grades than in previous years, and it was difficult to discern if thiswas due to ungrading or the result of the COVID-19 pandemic high schooling experience fromwhich these students had just graduated.

This paper describes an attempt to improve a first-year level digital circuits course by flippingthe course and incorporating several active learning strategies. With the primary objective ofincreasing student interest and learning in digital circuits concepts, an integrated instructionaldesign framework was proposed and utilized to provide incoming first-year engineering andtechnology students with practical knowledge of digital circuits. This research compared theeffectiveness of the flipped course with the traditional course in areas of content coverage,student learning and performance, and their perceptions of a flipped first-year course. Through aexperimental study, significance of flipped course is confirmed with positive outcomes such
