to amplifier analysis anddesign. The analysis and design of amplifiers is most often achieved by calculation, and basic labexercises abstracted from the application to real world scenarios. The lack of obvious real-worldconnection affects the student's ability to conceptualize and perform amplifier design [1].Furthermore, assessment results from previous offerings of the first electronics course in the EEsequence suggest students struggled to understand amplifier design. To address these concerns,there was a desire to integrate these topics for both remediation and content extension into thesecond course in the electronics sequence, which was offered for the first time in the course of thisresearch. © American Society for

, pandemic1.0 IntroductionThree mechanical engineering students at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering, University ofIndianapolis were tasked with designing a fixture for the Institute for Affordable Transport (IAT) BasicUtility Vehicle (BUV). BUV produces basic transportation and vehicles for developing countries thatfeature robust and simple designs. The project involved a service component because the BUV is beingused for critical applications including agricultural, water and medical transportation in developingcountries (Figure 1). Exposure of students to such open-ended and real life projects will help the studentsto develop critical professional and technical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork,problem solving, project management

save if they prefer to grade them later.Prairielearn provides instant feedback from auto-graders on each submitted query.We plan to integrate TriQL in two additional lab assignments. TriQL lab 1, which precedes theSQL, MongoDB, and Neo4J labs, introduces students to the generalized schema and the querybuilder interface. The first part of this experimental lab would help students explore thegeneralized schema of a real-world application. Examining a generic schema helps studentsunderstand the data entities and their connections without worrying about understanding anyparticular database’s structure. The second part of this lab focuses on teaching students theprincipal data querying operations, including selection, projection, grouping, and

Paper ID #35162Reflections from Virtual Undergraduate Summer Research Experience withInterdisciplinary TeamsMr. Gurcan Comert, Associate Professor of Engineering at Benedict College, has been teaching undergraduate transportation, mathematics, statistics, and computer science courses at different levels. He has been involved in under- graduate research experiences programs since 2011. He has been working on risk analyses and intelligent transportation systems through the development of applications of statistical models on different systems such as traffic signals and freeway monitoring. He is also engaged in the
