The syllabus quiz covers important points that studentsshould be informed before starting the course. With unlimited attempts, the completion of asyllabus quiz with 100% success releases the first learning module.Course EvaluationThe renovated course was offered first time during the fall 2011 and students were asked to Page 25.787.5participate in the study that reflects on their experience of the online course delivery.

analysis is: when is the impact of SP felt the most? Inother words, when is Sb − Sa maximized? Note that any positive value of this difference indicatesa reversal, an occurrence of SP. For example, consider that the weights wm , wh , and the totalnumber of homework asigments n are given by the course syllabus and that a student has ahomework average ∑ni=1 hi /n after n assignments. Then, the effect of SP, if felt at all, will bedirectly proportional to the score of the dropped score and inversely proportional to the grade in −1his or her midterm exam. If we write ∑ni=1 hi /(n − 1) = (∑ni=1 hi − hn )/(n − 1), the functionSb − Sa is linear with respect to the worst homework hn and the midterm grade m
StudentsFigures 8 and 9 demonstrate the assignment grades for graduate and undergraduate students,respectively. Histograms and the adjusted normal probability plots demonstrate that both cohortswere very successful in securing high grades. One student from each group did not turn in theassignment and therefore received zero.Table 5 summarizes evaluation results both the course and instructor received at the end of the Fall2017 and Fall 2016. In total, 23 students responded to the questions and filled out the online surveyout of 25 registered students in Fall 2017. On the other hand, 20 out of 27 students responded tothe questions at the end of Fall 2016 in which the IMSG was not offered as an activity to thestudents. The results indicate that the overall
AC 2012-4451: A REVIEW OF CAPSTONE COURSE DESIGNS USED ININDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING PROGRAMSDr. Denise H. Bauer, University of Idaho, Moscow Denise H. Bauer received her Ph.D. in industrial engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 2007. She received a M.S. in industrial engineering as well as a B.S. in engineering dcience from the University of Tennessee. Bauer’s research in engineering education centers around the use of technology mainly as a means of communication for remote engineering group work. She received a NAE CASEE postdoctoral fellowship to study what communication methods students used to communicate with group members during online classes and their feelings on their importance. She is also
ethicalresponsibilities and ramifications of collecting data on humans.The syllabus shown in (Table 1) lists the topics that were covered during the semester. Asdiscussed earlier, Usability as an area of knowledge overlaps with several other areas ofknowledge, therefore it was essential for students to learn about Human Factors, understandHuman Capabilities and Human error as well as being able to practice design thinking beforebeing able to test the usability of systems or products. Topics covered were drawn from sixtextbooks and references which are listed in Appendix A, the instructor chose textbooks that areavailable in the University’s e-library with full access to students.

This study evaluates the effects of changes made indelivering an Industrial Engineering Capstone Design course amid the COVID-19 pandemic.Specifically, student feedback, course assessments, and performance are compared acrossmultiple semesters and analyzed for the mode of course delivery (face-to-face, hybrid, andonline) and the course design changes. Students participated in an online survey to gather theirperspectives beyond standard course evaluations and test the hypothesis that the mode ofdelivery did not influence student learning outcomes. Survey results are supplemented by courseevaluations and student performance to

is described as a mixture of online and face-to-face learning componentswhereby students can choose to complete any part of course face-to-face, online synchronous, oronline asynchronous [1]. From an instructional perspective, the course design typically is offeredas a face-to-face class meeting combined with a video-conferencing system (whereby the classmeeting is recorded); this provides students the option to attend in person, participate online, or 1engage with the recorded content outside the class meeting [2]. This type of course design allowsstudents the most flexibility as it relates time and learning mode, which is ideal for students whoneed to optimize work-life balance (e.g., work
. Page 14.769.3HypothesisThe central hypothesis for using the CITIES format is that by allowing students to activelycontribute to the classroom through a focused presentation, further depth of understanding willbe achieved both for the presenting student and the class. In addition, a breadth of topics notconsidered in the initial syllabus will be naturally integrated into the class.The learning objectives of CITIES contain five key components. They are intended to allowstudents to (1) connect, (2) demonstrate, (3) seek, (4) describe, and (5) communicate their ideasby following the CITIES process. Specifically, co-op work experiences and student-led researchare used to bring real-world applications to theoretical course topics. The CITIES format
StudentsAbstractThe Study Cycle is a set of guidelines rich with self-regulated learning (SRL) techniques thatenables students to plan, prepare, and enact their studying by focusing on five comprehensivesteps: previewing before class, engaging in class, reviewing after class, holding study sessions,and seeking help as a supplement. This paper reports on initial findings of a qualitative study inwhich a workshop on the Study Cycle was taught to a class of second-year IndustrialEngineering students as an intervention, aiming to understand effects of the module onengineering students’ SRL strategy use in an engineering course. Students self-reported SRLstrategy use in a one-minute paper pre-workshop and two sets of post-workshop reflections. Thispaper examines
