the learning process.Teamwork has often been seen as a replacement or addition to traditional teaching approach inhigher education. Students learn better when actively engaged in teamwork than in a traditionalteaching approach. Recent research supports this observation, especially in STEM courses [2-7].Also, educational research shows that in-class activity significantly impacts long-term materialretention, critical thinking, communication skills, and increased class attendance [4,8-10].Teamwork is an important part of any undergraduate engineering program. The AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) states that all ABET-accredited programs shouldgive students: "An ability to function effectively on a team whose members

Therefore, for students in the chemical engineeringthermodynamics course at the University of Arkansas during 2020, an attempt was made toincrease student-student and student-faculty connections through a variety of means. Theprimary goal was to support the mental health of vulnerable students and increase classroomengagement and learning.In the fall of 2020, the thermodynamics course was being taught as a synchronous hybrid courseusing Zoom technology. Attempts were made to increase both student-student connections andstudent-faculty connections using a variety of methods. Student-student

IntroductionDynamics is an important engineering course for three reasons. First, it is essential to have astrong grasp of the concepts covered in the course when pursuing a degree in engineering.Second, it is a required course for many engineering departments and is the first engineeringcourse that covers both difficult and abstract concepts. Third, for many capable students thiscourse can become a roadblock to a career in engineering1.Computer-mediated instructional technologies, typically in Virtual Environments, hold greatpromise for use in educational settings in that they can increase

Technology The University of the Basque Country Abstract Computer engineers increasingly depend on the use of software tools to evaluate and inves- tigate the design of computer systems. It is therefore very important that educators in this eld promote extensive tool-based experimentation by students. However, the integration of today's complex tools into curricula poses several challenges to instructors. To deploy a tool-based class experiment, they must 1 obtain access to hardware resources that meet the requirements of the tool, and obtain access to student accounts on these resources; 2 install and maintain the tool software and

It is through laboratory exercises thatstudents develop their writing skills by writing laboratory reports.
