there are no standardizedcourse structures, curricula, hardware and software platforms, or course materials.To address these challenges, a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary team conducted severalworkshops starting in 2018 to provide support for curriculum development in MRE and to createa vibrant community of college instructors interested in MRE. Ranging from a half-day to twodays, the workshops provided guidance and perspectives from leaders in MRE education. Basedon participant feedback from these workshops and our goal for greater impact, we planned anddelivered a more intensive three-day, virtual, yet hands-on workshop in the Spring of 2022.The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) prepare current and future MRE educators to
S-L relationships are mutually beneficial, with the ultimate goal being atransformational partnership. Transformational relationships are characterized by closeness,equity, and integrity, and grounded in lenses of collaboration, reciprocity, and diversity [14].Distinctions among S-L relationships depend on factors such as goal integration, resourcesharing, planning, coordination, and communication [14]. The Transformational RelationshipEvaluation Scale (TRES) gives a quantitative rating of a given relationship, based on 9 keyattributes: outcomes, common goals, decision-making, resources, conflict management, identityformation, power, significance, and satisfaction and change for the better [15]. This scale offers aguideline for S-L

instruction–making activelearning even more important in remote instruction.Not every learning objective is best tackled with a full class period of active learning. Using avariety of instructional methods will help the students to succeed in different learning modes [13]and increase their learning flexibility [14] [15] which will benefit them in the classroom and intheir careers. Without denying all the benefits of active learning, students also need to becomecapable listeners, note takers, and questioners if they want to successfully participate in projectproposals, planning sessions, and public meetings as engineers.Whether using passive or active instructional methods, motivation matters.

Even though the design of instrumentation and technologies in service ofclinicians and patients clearly aligns with the skills of engineers, spontaneous collaborationbetween these two fields does not often occur. Therefore, there is an opportunity to increasecollaboration between SLPs and engineers to identify unmet needs in clinical practice andincrease research collaborations between these groups. This opportunity motivated the design ofour REU.

curriculumdevelopment in Big Data, especially machine learning, to experienced science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) middle and high school teachers. We hosted two summercohorts in the labs of the engineering school at our metropolitan research university before thepandemic forced us to postpone the third planned cohort until it is safe to meet in person. Thispaper illustrates the importance of the in-person cohort experience for developing teachers aslearners and facilitators of computational thinking using the concept of machine learning.Machine learning (ML) models are now being used increasingly in many sectors, ranging fromhealth and education to justice and criminal investigation. Hence, these algorithmic models arestarting to
including significant math andscience requirements and limited degree plan flexibility, the effectiveness of online engineeringprograms might be significantly different than other undergraduate education programsespecially those outside of STEM. Our experience indicates that an online BS pathway attracts adiverse range of students who are traditional underserved by engineering education as discussedin section 4. This paper also documents our outreach approach (section 2) and student success(section 5).As the background on the program, the department offers a BS in Industrial Engineering, a BS inIndustrial Technology, a MS in Engineering (Non-thesis), a MS in Engineering Science, a MS inEngineering Management, and a Doctor of Engineering degree.

However, given than many already perceivethat STEM subjects are too hard to begin with make it even more difficult for teachers trying toeducate and inspire students in a virtual environment. Taking all this into consideration, it isimperative for faculty to effectively plan an outreach that provides an environment for studentsto feel comfortable venturing into fields of studies which they do not feel comfortable with.Building upon this current body of knowledge, our outreach plan sought to integrate necessaryaspects of teaching that would be fun

(i.e., the product of study) How do I get there? (i.e., the process of studying)The former question is task-, motive-, and goal-oriented, while the process-focused questioninvolves choices of learning approaches and strategies in view of

Therefore, the need for and potential of the S-STEMProgram at Kennesaw State University are enormous.Program expectations for students include progression items (target GPA, course enrollment andstatus), connective activities (faculty mentors, advisors, industry partners, outreach), and optionalactivities (living learning community, career services events, undergraduate research, studentorganizations, tutoring). Achievement of these expectations is driven through the mentor/menteerelationship where both provide and accept feedback, and advice and resources are activelysolicited and provided to encourage students’ responsibility for their learning.

Learning analytics also offer amore personalized learning experience for students than the current online environments wherecontent interactions and student struggles go unnoticed [8]. As evidenced by the COVID-19pandemic, online learning is a necessity for higher education. Our study highlights the utility oflearning analytics and how instructors can leverage them to develop successful online learningenvironments. This paper explains some of the capabilities of learning analytics from an online course inthe Canvas LMS.

the heart of our effort at the remote Summer Engineering Academy outreachprogram that was spearheaded as a template for synchronous and asynchronous remote learning for middleschool participants.Program PlanningWhen the university banned all in-person meetings for the summer of 2020, it was decided that a remoteengineering experience for middle school participants would be offered as a pilot program to help developfuture remote programs. In this paper, we will describe our pilot Engineering Academy from planning tocurriculum development and delivery. The Academy was conducted for a total of five sessions over a period oftwo and a half weeks in July of 2020 and covered a variety of topics related to engineering. Both synchronousand

Other data from the National Survey ofStudent Engagement suggests that as of the 2017-2018 academic year, 52% of seniors hadcompleted or were in progress of internships or co-ops, with a further 23% of respondentsplanning to do one [11].Internships may play a unique role in engineering career paths. According to the National Surveyof Student Engagement, engineers were more likely to complete or plan to complete aninternship or co-op than most other fields (with 58% of seniors having completed or being inprogress of an internship or co-op and another 26% planning to do one in the future) [11].

This training was made mandatory for all UDC faculty under anewly designated “Emergency Remote Instruction” (ERI) mode. Most faculty utilized virtualconference software and email to continue engagement and communication with learners, movedcourse materials and submissions to an online management platform, and created and usedexisting videos and resources to deliver information.
