This paper describes a new classroom observationprotocol intended to monitor the focus (e.g., solo, pair, team, or whole class) and action (e.g.,discuss, speak/present, watch/listen, or distracted) of both students and teachers (instructors).The paper summarizes relevant background on evidence-based learning, student engagement,and classroom observation protocols, describes the development and structure of FASTOP,presents results from different pedagogies (e.g., lecture, laboratory, POGIL), and describeslessons learned and future directions. Results show distinctive patterns of student and teacherbehaviors for different pedagogies.1. IntroductionThe ICAP model describes the benefits of interactive (I), constructive (C

At the program level, aggregating both institutions, no significant differences betweenundergraduate and graduate students’ experiences were found for any of the measured outcomes.Based on these findings, recommendations are made for improving student perception of andexperience with remote teaching and learning. Regarding the conduct of remote laboratories, theresults suggest, consistently across institutions, a

design. Decliningenrollments forced universities to reduce program length. In order to accomplish this,many programs reduced application oriented courses and laboratories.1 This shift hasresulted in an increasing gap between what engineers are expected to know and how theyare to perform in industry, and what universities are teaching.2 Engineers in industryspend much time working on complex system integration, yet few engineering graduatesunderstand this process.3 Reference 2 adds “the state of education in this country,especially in science, engineering and technology, has become a matter of increasingconcern to many of us in American industry.”In order to meet the professional needs of industry, engineering educators must place arenewed
homework assignments to teach both basicmetallurgy and the history of the industrial revolution.II. GoalsBased on our prior experience with teaching integrated classes, we set the following goals for ourcourse: 1) linkage of technical and historical material for engineering technology students 2) Improvement of communications skills for all students 3) fully integrating all classroom and laboratory instructionIII. PlanningPlanning for our course took into account a number of factors, most notably instructorbackground and experience, previous experience with integrated courses, the target audience forthe course, the overall course structure, and assessment.Dr. Clark's education and teaching experience is in the history of

Our new approach, which we callhands-on-homework (HOH), will be an integral component of the enhanced undergraduate curriculumchanges planned and will make use of ITLL resources. In the past, valuable resources have been created for providing exercises, puzzles, and mysteries draw-ing on day-to-day experiences to challenge and encourage further exploration.

Beyondsimply being a laboratory for observation, the university can be intentionally developed into apartner in the process of preparing the next generation of construction engineers and managers.While larger institutions typically have larger facilities departments, even smaller organizationshave some personnel that are charged with the maintenance of facilities that might work withprograms. Even those institutions who outsource some of these functions may find that theassociated companies are willing to cooperate with construction programs.Basic approaches: exposing students to construction

to teach stand-alone courses in the subject. As a result, it is very difficult for FVSU to establish an independent bioinformatics major or minor program at this time. 3. Traditional computer science curricula are not designed to accommodate the subject or applications of bioinformatics hence poorly serving this field. Similarly, the curriculum in biology at FVSU is designed mainly to prepare students towards medical professions and does not accentuate interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics. As a result, there is a need to seamlessly integrate biological and computer sciences to establish a bioinformatics program that would appeal to both students and faculty 10.These challenges notwithstanding, the

In addition to the existing laboratory exercises that fulfill the objectives of the course, itwas decided to introduce a comprehensive project that would enable the students to apply PLMprinciples to their academic investigations. The application of PLM principles in various phases ofthe project would enable the instructor to simulate an industry environment in the classroom. Forthis reason, it was decided to make the instrumentation course, a capstone course for

Such situations often arise in practice and require testing to qualify the design. A web page will be created with training materials to teach students how to use the various test and data acquisition systems in the testing. • To have students involved in the equipment installation and operation, system integration, and web page development. The Internet is an exciting new arena for educational activities. A web page for the laboratory will be created, which contains interactive exercises and videos focused on structural

. Control: Traditional Lecture-Recitation-Exam (LRE) FormatThe structure of the LRE format included three hours per week of face-to-face lecturesdelivered by faculty and two-hour recitations delivered by teaching assistants. The lectureswere recorded and the videos were available through the course website. In the recitations,students completed a set of special physics problems developed by the faculty instructor thathighlighted key weekly lecture concepts and methods. Weekly homework sets and readingassignments were based on the book, Fundamentals of Physics Extended (10th Edition) (Halliday2013).Students were also required to complete five laboratory experiments. This component accountedfor 5% of their final grade. Recitation participation
hybrid approach was used.”5 Hybrid teaching methodology is a bridgebetween traditional and online schooling. One method of hybrid teaching that pertains to thisstudy includes the use of traditional teaching to cover materials for the class, while requiring allexample problems and homework to be covered digitally. By continuing to require studentparticipation in a traditional classroom setting while implementing online worked examples3,homework, and possibly quizzes, the worry of losing the hands-on, laboratory portion of anengineering education can be dismissed. Moving some of the material covered in class to anonline format will allow more time in class to answer questions and cover the materialeffectively.Mackey and Freyberg completed a study
