Session 2426 The platform allows faculty and students to develop and conduct Internet based labprojects and our development process provides a case study for constructing similar cost-effective systems in other areas for research and teaching based on Internet technology. Webelieve that this can significantly change the way science and engineering are taught andlearned in both secondary and post-secondary educational systems. The new approach is cost-effective, easily accessible by everyone, useful in promoting "learning by doing," and indeveloping a student’s capability and motivation to engage in lifelong learning. Our eventualvision is a National Internet-Based Laboratory for Research and Education that providesstate-of-art facilities and

The student evaluations of teaching after the first semester indicatedmixed feelings regarding the grading scheme.

However, alongside this conventional approach,PBL is being introduced, offering students hands-on experience in applying theoreticalknowledge to real-world scenarios [4]. PBL encourages critical thinking, interdisciplinarycollaboration, and the development of essential professional skills such as problem-solving,communication, and project management.

Tagliatela College of Engineering at University ofNew Haven takes a multipronged approach to the teaching of process safety. This includesintegration of SAChE Modules into most required Chemical Engineering courses, safetyactivities in the unit operations laboratory, incorporation of safety topics in the ChemicalEngineering Design sequence, and the availability of an optional Process Safety course. Thisapproach is in keeping with the programs philosophy that integration of topics is the bestapproach to support learning of critical concepts and skills. This approach is also consistent witheducational psychology principles that learners are better able to incorporate concepts when theyare offered in context and at an appropriate level of complexity.At

As noted bythe laboratory instructor, students actively engaged during the weekly meetings and mademeaningful connections inside and outside their assigned teams.

Outcomes ofthese experiences include increased STEM knowledge and experience, scientific researchpractices, career awareness, and STEM self-efficacy and identity.

Former written protocols were abandoned. These were produced by the instructor whogave a rigid orientation, leaving no room for students’ creativity. Quite often students did notprepare their work properly and were passively following protocols. Although being 1st yearstudents with little lab experience, the new learning-teaching paradigm clearly pointed inanother direction. A new challenge was being proposed to the students.

First-Year Programs

AbstractIn this paper, we describe an exploratory study to support efforts in revising first-year coursesrequired for engineering students. It is common to include some form of introductoryprogramming or spreadsheet computation topics in first-year courses. The inclusions of thesetopics is ostensibly to provide foundational computational skills needed in later courses.However, there are many challenges associated with teaching and learning these skills, the leastof which is selecting which skills to include in the finite time allotted for a first-year introductorycourse that may also be tasked with teaching foundational problem solving and professionalskills. This study is the first stage towards identifying a core set of skills for inclusion that

The solutions of these problems require not only proficiency inthe technical principles, but, as importantly, require a mastery of written and oral communicationskills and the ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team. In the sophomore year,communication (written and oral) and design (semester long multidisciplinary design project) areintegrated. The course is team-taught by faculty from the College of Communication and theCollege of Engineering. Students pick one of two design projects. The first is to design and build aguitar effects pedal.

Additional variety was achieved by rotating lecture responsibilities between thetwo professors or by creating a classroom setting with both professors interacting.

A distinctive feature of UOLs compared toundergraduate laboratories in other fields, like chemistry, is the use of the so-called pilot-scaleexperimentation[3] which introduces students to new scales of experimentation, mainly orientedtoward the manufacturing industry. From the educational point of view, pilot-scaleexperimentation in UOLs is a unique experience for undergraduate chemical engineeringstudents but it might hamper the ability to teach laboratory courses outside of lab facilities.
