Video identifiesinstructional, third-party videos that are already freely available online that the instructor maydeem relevant to the course material. In the case of RAS, RS, and VoPPT, students have nochoice as to what they view—visual cues are reduced and attention is focused on one screen,which also makes group work and peer learning in real-time a challenge.4.

Perceived benefits from robot integration in introductoryprogramming courses include an increase in programming skills, peer learning, and studentmotivation [3]. It has been observed that along with fostering creativity, using robotics in thesecourses increases student success [4, 5]. In general, introductory engineering courses haveincorporated robots with a goal to increase problem solving skills [6] and overall programretention [7]. However, robots are often a source of frustration to students. McGill observed thatto gain benefits in student motivation in an introductory programming course, hardware andsoftware implementations need to be better investigated and developed to

As such, the labs were re-designed to be completed by individuals. At the end of the semester, we adapted and deployed a survey (based on earlier work byRecktenwald and Hall [2]) to collect students’ feedback and response to the new format of teaching.The main objective of this paper is to summarize the novel teaching setting and provide an overviewof the feedback we received from the students. We report on using Arduino microcontrollersto enable remote, distributed, individual, and hands-on lab work for an established senior-levelmechanical engineering course

The crisis of the pandemic on climate change isdependent on the policies of the governments towards which directions the economies need tohead. When the governments prioritize to shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy such as wind,solar, geothermal, biofuels, then the mitigation efforts of climate change could come to fruition.It is anticipated that with more ongoing collaborations across disciplines, the authors will be

Through the1980s, writers such as Audre Lorde and Patricia Hill Collins highlighted the multitude of waysthat intersecting identities gave rise to unique, interlocking, and intersectional forms ofoppression [14], [15]. These writings brought intersectionality to the center of activist thought,challenging the previously single-issue politics of groups such as the civil rights movement, thegay/lesbian liberation movement, and second-wave feminism. Since its roots in activist politics and articulation by Crenshaw, intersectionality has madeits way into a wide array of disciplines. Packaged as a tenet in
