solving sessions to engage students in a highly theoretical Random SignalAnalysis course.Research has shown that when students are in constructive and interactive modes of engagement,they gain deeper understanding of knowledge. To help students learn better, six interactive andactive problem solving sessions are incorporated in the Random Signal Analysis course. In eachproblem solving session, students are presented with one or multiple non-trivial problem(s).They work in teams of two while interacting with a table of eight students. While students areengaging with problem solving, the instructor and teaching assistants walk around the classroomanswering questions and giving feedback.At the end of each problem solving session, students complete a

The results of this study, limited to the data from 2022-2023, should not begeneralized to broader conclusions. Further data collection and analysis over several more courseofferings are necessary to draw informative conclusions. Future studies should encompassdifferent courses with larger sample sizes. Engineering faculty can create a more engaging andeffective learning environment in their courses by incorporating the strategy used in this study.References[1] Freeman, S., Eddy, S.

In many cases, though, modernassessment has relied far too heavily on student opinions as though it were a comprehensiveassessment of teaching effectiveness and student learning [2], when in fact, there are numerousapproaches to evaluate teaching more holistically. Other common strategies for teachingevaluation include peer observation (by fellow faculty members), external review (often byexperienced teaching and learning professionals), and self-evaluation. In each case, modernapproaches center on evidence-based evaluation practices [3], and several examples arediscussed herein.The

describes our implementation of Mastery learning and how it played out inour courses. It is our hope that this paper will give others ideas of how to learn from our mistakesso that other implementations of mastery learning schemes may be more successful.IntroductionThe concept of mastery learning has been around in public schools since the 1920s, but did notgain popularity until the 1960s, with Benjamin S. Bloom’s paper on ‘learning for mastery’ in19681 and another paper on ‘mastery learning’ in 19712. The idea behind Mastery learning is tomake sure all students achieve ‘mastery’ of the course learning objectives by the end of thecourse rather than being solely concerned about assigning an A-F grade on all assignments. Thedriving force behind a
potential, respectively,from ATHENA. The current paper describes the implementation of the DACE process for the Summer2024 project, some findings, and the lesson plans developed by Zagozda to share more broadly to theASEE Community. MethodsAs described in Thomason et al.2, the DACE process provides an approach that middle/high schoolteachers can follow and translate to their classrooms. As a brief summary, DACE consists of thefollowing steps: 1. Calibration of the computer model(s) for the application of interest. 2. Design experiments to organize a set of computer model input parameter settings. 3. Execution of the computer model(s) to generate performance metric outputs. 4

)AbstractBackground: This virtual initiative, called Summer Engagement in Cyber UndergraduateResearch Experiences (SECURE), was established as a response to support students who mayhave lost summer internships and/or have financial hardships due to COVID-19. Several studentsin the program were NSF S-STEM scholars, a mix of computer engineering, cyber securityengineering, electrical engineering and software engineering students.Purpose/Hypothesis: The main question addressed by this initiative was whether we couldbuild a virtual undergraduate research experience that enabled students to apply their studies andknowledge similarly as they would in a traditional summer internship. Goals for the experienceincluded providing small-group mentoring as well as

offering online sections of courses to students that want the flexibilitythat they facilitate, if their primary concern is student performance. We found no statistically sig-nificant difference in the overall performance of students that elect to take a course online relativeto those that elect to take it in person. Taking courses online may, however, have a substantialnegative impact on a student’s sense of belonging. This effect is particularly pronounced for un-derrepresented minority students and first generation students, but not present in women.References [1] B. Bizot and S.

In each of the examplesthat were given in this paper, the instructor(s) invested no small amount of effort in revising thecourse(s) to suit their designs.
