Does including ‘Science and Religion in Japan’ in an engineering education curriculum help students gain flexibility, an appreciation of equity, and a greater richness of ideas? - These aspects are required if students are to become ‘global engineers’.3. Are their expected learning outcomes being achieved, or are there any unexpected by- products gained from this course?Achieving expected learning outcomes1.

The course also included an interactive workbook, and fiveweekly group coaching class sessions hosted by course instructors; these coaching sessions weredone synchronously or in-person as allowed by COVID precautions.A new Canvas course site was developed for the five week course. The homepage for the coursewas the course schedule and course syllabus. As an example, the course schedule and syllabuslearning objectives from Winter 2023 is available in the Appendix (Figure A1). The coursecontent was separated into weekly modules that included a weekly page summary for theexpected micro-learning content, in-class activities, and homework assignments. Course goalsand learning objectives as communicated to the students are below: By the
ROS in Remote LearningAbstractEven though remote learning has been present and available in a myriad of topics beforepandemic times, robotics remote learning had the limitation of interacting with robotic platformsthrough simulation alone. With COVID-19, postgraduate education was forced to move to remotelearning. Birk et al. 1 conducted a reasonable practice for online teaching of a robotics course atJacobs University Bremen. Although their lectures covered most of the robotics areas, they usedpre-recorded videos to teach and did not hold labs to demonstrate the operations on real robots.The sudden pivot created a paradigm shift for robotics courses traditionally taught in-personwhere students had the opportunity to experience interaction
to the liftingof travel restrictions and the growing demand for in-person experiences from both students andeducational institutions. While the core structure remained unchanged, an 8-day onsite programin Indonesia was introduced for the social science learning component. Participants now had theoption to select either a fully online virtual course (VAx) or a hybrid model consisting of halfvirtual and half onsite courses (HAx). The onsite courses were designed to be affordable for allinterested participants, as out-of-pocket costs only included round-trip transportation to and fromSurabaya International Airport. Onsite accommodation, ground transportation, and regularlyscheduled meals were sponsored by ITS. This effective utilization of the

mechanical engineering departments in Fall 2023.The mechanical engineering courses were taught at two different locations in a combined mode ofinstruction – simultaneously online synchronous to the rural location (Tyler) and face-to-face in the urban 2location (Houston). In contrast, chemical engineering courses were only offered face-to-face in the ruralarea. These courses were selected for the pilot study as they focus on at least some aspects of energygeneration, use, and efficiency. This approach would allow the student to choose intuitive projects thatsatisfy the course outcomes while focusing on the EOP framework. The courses where we piloted the EOPframework are summarized in Table 1
multi-year participation canachieve a depth of skills and ownership of outcomes [10]. Thus, full academic year andmulti-year projects enable impactful experiential learning, while short semester projects maylimit student growth. One challenge to multi-year participation for students is fitting theadditional work-load and credit hours into their schedules.Faculty Instructors and Mentors IDPro is taught through an approach that brings together program and projectmanagement.

giving thoughtful, constructive feedback on both thepositive and the negative. Figure 2 is an example summary of the feedback from DASC 1001 -Introduction to Data Science taught in the Fall of 2022. Each were discussed in the first day ofthe following Spring semester class with explanations and improvements that would be made toaddress them, as appropriate. In some cases, the feedback conflicted – such as the LinkedInLearning courses on being a good team member, how to be a team leader, and projectmanagement. The remaining time of the first day of class covers the syllabus and expectationsfor the class.During our Fall Faculty Retreat and our yearly Data Science Advisory Council (DSAC) meeting,the instructors for each course presented their
formal learning outcome in the syllabus for ME4723 Interdisciplinary CapstoneDesign. In some cases, the authors have judged there is sufficient overlap between learningoutcomes from multiple courses that they are listed together in one line in the table; for example,Outcome 6 is about working on a team, and the respective learning outcomes for the threecapstone courses and the VIP course are all listed in that cell. Regarding formal learningoutcomes, ME4723 has seven in rows 1-7. ECE 4723 and ECE 4823 have nine in rows 3,5,6,10-13, and VIP has three in rows 6,8,9. An outcome that is customary but not formal in the ECEcapstones is indicated by an “C”. An informal learning outcome implied by the nature of theproject is indicated by “EA” in the
