In this vein, colleges and universities across thecountry have created and funded

This paper supports the idea ofimplementing this model with benefits to faculty, graduate students, and the course students.Keywords: Co-teaching; Student Engagement; Active Teaching; Graduate Students; FacultyDevelopmentIntroductionEngineering education should provide students with the experiences needed to develop an ability tocommunicate effectively with a range of audiences [1]. For oral communication, whether in apresentation, meeting or participating in a conversation, students need opportunities to practice in order toreduce anxiety, decrease their communication apprehension and develop this skill [2]. Engaging in classthrough participation during class meetings provides multiple

The study sought toexamine the differences experienced by students who attended in person instruction and those whoparticipated in remote instruction. Eighty percent of the population attended in-person instructionand resided on or nearby campus, while twenty percent of the cohort remained fully online. Thepaper presents two student perspectives: 1) during the period in which courses were strictlydelivered in a remote format, and 2) during the period in which students were afforded theopportunity to return to campus and partake in face-to-face instruction. Study findings revealedthat remote instruction allowed students to be closer with

Students exhibited self-driven learning (1) by independently selecting and researching acourse content-related topic, and by developing a script to communicate technical information totheir peers. Learning by teaching (2) is a pedagogical approach that has been widely accepted asan effective way to improve student learning in many disciplines7-11.

section.IntroductionControl systems can be a difficult component of any engineering curriculum, both for students(to learn) and for faculty (to teach). Despite being rich in applications, the content is dense inabstract concepts, and it is not uncommon for students’ eyes to glaze over as faculty broachdifficult topics such as the Root Locus or the z-transform. Adopting active-learning techniquesand steering away from traditional instruction may mitigate this issue [1], [2]. Traditionalinstruction typically introduces topics in a deductive manner where students are shown theoriesand proofs and are then directed to apply these principles to a set of carefully curated textbookproblems. For many control systems students, this approach creates a passive

The importance of sustainability in engineering is widelyrecognized, exemplified by its inclusion in the codes of ethics of a number of engineeringprofessional societies and other guidelines [2] [3]. However, the interest and integration ofsustainability into engineering varies across disciplines. For example, within the ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) program criteria, sustainability is explicitlyincluded within architectural, civil, environmental, and mining engineering [4]. Sustainabilityintegration into courses in different disciplines varies [2

Formeasuring students' class preparation, we recorded the video analytics indicating the time spentby each student to watch both videos respectively in each week. In addition, we used students'final scores in the course to measure students' learning and evaluated the relationship betweenstudents' class preparation and learning. Furthermore, we examined the trends of time spent onvideo watching for each week.Preliminary analysis was conducted using multiple regression and repeated measures ANOVA.The results indicate a significant relationship between students' preparation (time

These discussions have includedengineering educators from various disciplines, backgrounds, professional societies, pedagogicalviewpoints, and countries about the unifying aspects of

This lab was run in a hybrid format where every lab teamhad both online and on campus students.

In this setting the lab partners can work as a remote team oncompleting the Simulink based communication exercises. The instructor can move between thebreakout rooms to interact with the students. Student responses to survey questions at the end ofthe course indicated a positive overall learning experience from the remote laboratory exercises.1. IntroductionEngineering
