Session 3202Learning More From Class Time: Technology Enhancement in the Classroom Marilyn J. Smith, Narayanan Komerath School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe traditional classroom lectures in engineering do not permit professors or students to keeppace with technological changes within rapidly changing disciplines. By using technology, theclassroom lecture can be modified so that class time becomes a laboratory of learning andreinforcement through iteration and application. This approach is also very timely since itdirectly develops the engineering attributes set forth in ABET

unique challenges engineering students face in hands-on courses. To address this gap,this study used a questionnaire to gather engineering students’ perspectives on course design anddelivery. The findings highlight the challenges faced by students in online engineering courseswith hands-on components, such as difficulty in collaborating with peers. To address thesechallenges, recommendations are proposed, such as incorporating virtual and augmented reality(VR/AR) technologies and simulations to enhance the online hands-on component, providingopportunities for students to apply their knowledge in a hands-on setting, and supplementinghands-on components with video lectures and demonstrations. By addressing these challenges,faculty can improve
