UG faculty provided pairs of student names which they deemedas complementary, while CU faculty did the same for groups of 3-4 students. These UG + CUgroupings were combined to form teams of 5 or 6 students. The program was held entirelyonline, and the official language was English. The course was a requirement for graduation forall students.The educational content and supporting activities of the course were structured as follows: Theclass was scheduled 5 days per week, for 2 hours per day. Core content to support the designprocess was delivered as “refreshers” on topics students would have practiced in detail during

The fearedattrition was minor, with only six students (~3%) dropping the course after the pivot to online.The most significant change was eliminating the team project and introducing two individualprojects. This change was made to avoid possible problems with teamwork in light of the pivot toZoom, such as hampered communication, team members dropping the course, or difficultysharing hardware. For the sections with 3D Printing, the individual projects were based on CADand the design of conditions for 3D Printing using slicing software. For sections

This setting allows us to examine the impact of remedial courses on the progress ofengineering students and their persistence. In particular, we are interested in whether thesestudents continue in engineering, declare their engineering major on time, and graduate in thesame length of time as their non-remediated peers. Research findings will help informengineering programs, university administrators, and other stakeholders regarding the role ofremedial education in engineering and whether it aids students from academically disadvantagedbackgrounds to pursue

Increasing Minority Presence within Academia through ContinuousTraining (IMPACT) mentoring program. The IMPACT program paired Black engineeringfaculty with primarily White emeriti faculty for career-focused mentorship, networking, andadvocacy. Mentees were primarily recruited from the Academic and Research LeadershipNetwork, a database of minority STEM faculty; the mentees mainly selected their mentors, butnone held a previous formal relationship, nor were any located at the same institution. Thementoring matches were based on the specified goal of the mentee, such as moving into adepartment chair role or seeking grant-writing support, but not disciplinary or demographicmarkers as is the traditional mentoring match rationale.

The course includes moderate-intensity active learning, with 1 hour of lecture, a 2-hour studio, and 2-hour lab each week. Dataon student perceptions and performance from the most recent offering of the course in Fall 2022are presented. A large number of students were batch enrolled into the course in summer 2022, butthen subsequently withdrew early. The students who dropped had lower math confidence, lowerself perceptions of science and math ability compared to their peers, and lower STEM identity,compared to students who remained in the course. Among students who earned overall coursegrades of D or F, the majority were taking

DeliverablesEach step of the design phase requires the completion of a team-based oral or written assignment.Additionally, the course requires individual assignments to fulfill program requirements in writing,peer evaluation and reflection on learning. Team-based assignments contribute 55% of the overallstudent grade, with individual assignments making up the remaining 45%. While assessment has beenidentified before as a challenge for studio models, particularly in assessing individual studentcontributions, each team and individual assignment is graded on a rubric developed for the capstonecourse as a whole, enabling consistent grading across both the traditional capstone students and thestudio students [12] [15, 16].

Introduction Engineers leverage a combination of skills, knowledge, and experiences to innovate andcreate technologies across domains. Through a micro-view, these technologies have the potentialto affect change by making processes more efficient or cost-effective. When taking a macroperspective, engineers can alter how society interacts with the world around them. Engineersmay work in a breadth of diverse fields, but ethical responsibility is a primary tenet thatunderlines professional engineering. When the result of engineering decision

In a recentcourse assessment, students highlighted the necessity of frequent assessment: “I felt that my class should have allotted more time to complete individual board problems. We did complete a board problem as a class each lesson, but I felt that I was lost when it came time to complete lessons on my own” “I learned the most during the beam lab when [the instructor] had us go to the boards in groups and went to help each group work through the problems to completion.

Some students lacked the use of laptops or other computing resources and oftenattended classes via mobile phones.While working in an office environment was risky and discouraged, the lack of faculty interaction withpeers left many faculty feeling a sense of isolation. Normal hallway discussions were restricted, makingcollaboration such as co-teaching multiple sections of the same course much harder. Similarly, notbeing able to come to campus not only limited faculty-student interactions (office hours, recitations,etc.), it also inhibited student-peer interaction (group projects, teamwork, etc.) and stopped most ofextracurricular experience
