Foreach problem, three images of the scenario were developed: a photograph of the system (lowabstraction), a line drawing of the system (medium abstraction), and a line-drawn image of thesystem in which most details identifying it as a real-world object were removed (highabstraction). Figure 1 shows the images used at each level of abstraction for each of the threeproblems.Students in a first-year course, who had just learned to draw FBDs (the assessment was justprior to their first exam on the topic), and students in a third-year course, who wereexperienced with FBDs, were asked to draw FBDs for these problems.

Analysis shows that performance increased by 19.3%. And thenumber of students that score less than 70% or less in the final exam is reduced by 69.1%. Students'feedback is also collected, and results indicate that students are more engaged and delighted withthe learning experience.Introduction:Online education is growing in numbers, and universities are expanding their online courseofferings. Online courses are gaining popularity due to their flexibility and availability, but theyoften need more interactivity. One main challenge in such courses is maintaining students'engagement and motivation [1

The results can inform strategiccurriculum development, the design of more effective student support systems, and betterresource allocation to address the specific needs of students in these fields. Beyond the academicliterature on student success in engineering, this research also provides a practical framework foreducational institutions to make informed decisions in curriculum design and planning in theevolving field of engineering education.1 IntroductionEngineering curricula are intentionally designed to ensure contingency, consistency, and integrity,recognizing that later courses build progressively on the knowledge acquired in earlier ones. Thisis especially evident with mathematics-related courses, including but not limited to

Support for Use of CAD Software by Visually Impaired IndividualsSince the AME 308 lectures are based on Siemens NX, it was important that any adaptation ofthe course to enhance visual accessibility be based in NX as well. As of 2019, NX did not haveany native support for visually impaired users [1].As an alternative, OpenSCAD is a free CAD software whose operation is purely script-based.The user provides a text script which the program parses to produce a 3D rendering of a solid.[2] While in principle a visually impaired user could create such a script using a screen reader orbraille display, there is no support for them to visualize the created part and troubleshoot thedesigns without seeing the software’s rendering of the script.This initiative

IntroductionRooted in Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development [1], computer-supported collaborativelearning (CSCL) posits that students’ cognitive development is promoted through sharedunderstanding and meaning-making from their interactions during group activities [2]. Given thisinherent nature, active engagement and discussion within student groups play a pivotal role in thesuccess of CSCL [3]. With recent advances in machine learning, a plethora of data

These are pairedwith the structural analysis lecture courses, that together, provide fundamental knowledgenecessary to proceed to the senior-level seismic analysis course. Table 1 shows each of thestructural analysis lecture classes with their paired computing class and its catalog description.The lecture class has a 32-person enrollment that is generally three times per week at 50 minutesa session, while the lab has a 16-person enrollment taking place once a week for nearly threehours.

developed their own hardware andcurriculum to ensure that visually impaired students would receive the same educationalexperience as their sighted peers.a. Existing Literature Vision-based teaching methods have become ubiquitous in the modern mechanical engineeringcurriculum through the universal adoption of computer-based tools in both the classroom andlaboratory. However, this heavy reliance on a vision-based teaching and engineering practice doesnot consider the needs of visually impaired students. This gap in accessibility is even morechallenging in engineering laboratory courses. Globally, over 250 million people live with some form of visual impairment, according to astudy done by the CDC in 2017 [1]. In the US, of the over 20 million
