By introducing additional operating and maintenance costs, soiling has anegative impact on the economic revenue of PV installations. Power reductions of more than50% have been reported in the literature because of soiling [1]. Since soiling

without well-defined and accessible frameworks for teaching engineering ethics, engineeringprograms will continue to struggle with fully meeting Criterion 3.4 and the expectations of theNSPE and other stakeholders. Frameworks focused on perspective-taking may provide a solutionto this problem as well as extend into application domains such as design, communication, andcoordination. Kahn and Zeidler published a conceptual analysis of perspective-taking anddeveloped the Socioscientific Perspective Taking (SSPT) model which they state in [6, p. 27]“represents an emphasis on the development of a diverse suite of perspective-taking skills as wellas the moral context, composed of reflective and reflexive judgment.” This model builds on

Adifferent approach is required while integrating active learning in both the formats. Student learning andperformance can improve by integrating Active Learning and Metacognition (ALM) strategically throughstructured activities. The author [13] offered thermodynamics course online in synchronous format andimplemented ALM using two-part activity. The first activity is Explained Examples where students pair upand discuss given example problem.

Individuals hold multiple identities all of which are dynamic, yet provideindividuals a sense of consistency and stability by connecting the past with one’s (perceived) futuretrajectory through providing an answer to the question, who am I? Importantly, the self-meanings thatconstitute one’s identity are built up from social interactions and the reflected appraisals of others.

Each module includes two activities that are completed in theclassroom prior to a field trip. These activities are designed to provide opportunities for studentsto develop ideas that relate to the engineering design challenge that will be presented in asubsequent field trip. The students then attend a field trip to the interactive science center wherethey engage in an engineering design challenge.

Public health restrictions on in-person gatherings due to the globalCOVID-19 pandemic shifted many courses that were previously not considered appropriatecandidates for e-Learning to an online platform. This was one of those courses.Anecdotal evidence from the teaching team suggested that students preferred this onlineapproach to the more traditional class setting. Written reflections and Likert scale survey datawere collected from students in the class that transitioned from in-person to online-delivery todetermine their course preference, and indicated positive attitudes towards the online-deliverymode.

In prior lecture sections I show how the magnification factor curve is – strangely and conveniently – the FFT of the impulse response. We apply this principle in the MDOF module by creating a Simulink model for the 2DOF system and determining the time domain impulse response from a free vibration simulation with an initial velocity at one degree of freedom. The FFT of the results gives the two magnification factors, and the mode shape results are clearly reflected in the frequency domain. The calculated mode shapes are 𝒖𝟏 = [2 1] and 𝒖𝟐 = [1 −1].
