Freeman College of Engineering, Northeastern UniversityAbstractPart of our responsibilities as engineering educators is to continually revise and update ourcurriculum, including assessment methodologies and procedures. We need to ensure that ourselected evaluation methods are not only fair and challenging to the students, but also relevant tothe requirements of their future employers and to the demands of technological advances inengineering. In this paper, we describe the motivation and set out the strategies for changing

Impact of lecture recordings in a post-COVID environment Ji Ye Janet Lam, University of Toronto1 IntroductionThe recording of lectures that are given during in-person teaching of on-campus courses has beena growing topic of study since before the COVID-19 pandemic [1]–[3]. The explosion in onlinelearning and increased digitalization of teaching is clear to anyone involved in education through2020–2022. In response to the sudden need for online learning, many (if not most) post-secondaryinstitutions invested in online educational technology [4], [5].As post-secondary institutions returned to in-person learning, the option to attend class virtuallyremained an option for some institutions [6], [7

In other words, programsseeking ABET accreditation must now demonstrate that their graduating students can function asbeginning professionals in eleven different areas of performance—not just pass courses.

The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.
