Most common pedagogies in online teaching includediscussion boards, audio and video submissions, text-based assessment, collaboration, emailsexchanges, text-based chat, audio and video conferencing, real-time polls, real-timecollaboration, and real-time assessment [1], [2]. These teaching modes can be classified as“surface structures” (pedagogies that transmit the information between the teacher and students),“deep structures” (pedagogies that encourage, higher order thinking and problem-solving) and“implicit structures” (pedagogies that develop a moral dimension in terms

The pre-COVID experiment was based on offering two senior and first-year graduate classes in a 7-week format, one following the other. Thus, a student could complete two courses (6-credits), in one semester, dealing with two closely related topics. In this case, the courses were Digital Communication Systems and Wireless Communications. 2. The first of the

Many papers already demonstrate theusefulness of MATLAB and Simulink in undergraduate engineering courses. The goal here,instead, is to present techniques and strategies for using this tool in an upper-level course thathave made a marked improvement in effectiveness and student appreciation.

Suggestions for improvement include changing theangle of camera and the color of the objects, and incorporating a remote coding component.MotivationHands-on experience is an essential part of manufacturing engineering education. However, thecost of industrial scale equipment, limited lab time, and large student population have hinderedthis desired experience. The idea of using remote labs (RL) was first proposed in 1991 by aresearcher at Purdue University who created a remotely shared control systems lab [1]. Remotelabs have received much attention as Internet technology has become mainstream. Remote labscan alleviate the challenges listed above [2-7]. Over the years, there have been a few attempts toreview of RLs and suggest challenges/problems.Chen

Learned: College Student Surveys as a Professional Development ToolIntroductionThe development and adoption of student evaluation of teaching (SET) were first recorded in the1920s [1] [2]. Since then, many proponents have researched the practice and suggested ways ofimplementing SETs to improve instruction. Student evaluations of teaching have mostly beenstandardized and accepted as a regular practice of assessing teaching effectiveness in mostcolleges, including my university. SETs have standard features that are described by Sproule [3]. 1. The SET is a survey about course content and teaching effectiveness with open-ended and close-ended questions. 2. The closed-ended questions present a scale of possible values

implications of their future work is an extremely important topic. There are many pitfallswith the traditional large lecture format in which ethics is taught to engineering freshmen. It istaught as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act of personal decision making situatedin the nuances of complex real-world contexts [1]. Often, engineering ethics instruction is taughtby a philosophy professor rather than an engineer. It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module)within a larger array of engineering content. As a result, students often do not see ethics as equallyimportant as other topics. They do not see it consistently integrated

The field of structural blast safety is uniquely and acutelymore relevant to DOD agencies due to the nature of both malicious and accidental risks.Obviously, terrorist incidents address one component, but the requirement to safely storemunitions on DOD installations sparked the formation of the DOD Explosives Safety Board in1928 after the major accidental explosion at the Naval Ammunition Depot, Lake Denmark, NewJersey.

While the lecture component covers thetheoretical concepts and derivations using diagrams and simplified drawings, laboratorydemonstrations are known to improve students’ understanding of the concepts through observationand experimentation [1]-[2]. Nevertheless, traditional modes of course delivery leave a gapbetween classroom depictions of idealized structural diagrams and a first-hand experience andperception of the structural members and their load-deformation behavior. This gap can result inreduced understanding of the physical phenomena and can be an obstacle to structural mechanicseducation and learning [3]-[6].An example of classroom drawings of deformation behavior of a simple cantilever beam is shownin
