Beyond student demographic information, the PosSE survey asks surveyrespondents to 1) identify the type of out-of-class activities they participate in, 2) what factorspromoted and hindered involvement in out-of-class activities (examples: “gain experiences thatmake me competitive in the job market” vs. “lack of time”, 3) the positive and negativeoutcomes from participation in out-of-class activities (examples: “personal development” vs.“academic timeline extended”), and 4) affectual responses about their involvement as a student attheir institution. Survey results were published in 2017 based on

The myDAQs were procured on time, the tutorial videos for thestudents were recorded and made available online, and the bookstore distribution of themyDAQs for the fall semester students was coordinated. The distribution of the myDAQ to thestudents began during the first week of classes only a few days late. A photo of a myDAQ unit isshown below in Fig 1. It’s about the size of a large cell phone.

program was introduced originally by Boys Republic founder MargaretB. Fowler to serve as a work experience vehicle for students at the non-profit school. Thewreaths were patterned after a centuries-old ceramic design created by the Della Robbia familyof Florence, Italy. In 1923, the first year of the Boys Republic Della Robbia campaign, only afew dozen wreaths were produced. They were sold on the streets of Pasadena. The program grewto meet increasing demand. Today, Boys Republic’s students produce and ship more than 40,000wreaths, each year, to destinations throughout the United States and around the world6. Figure 1.

torque and angularmomentum [1]. The work of C. Kontra et. al. finds that with active learning, students’ exposureto a physical interaction to forces that were associated with angular momentum correlated to anincrease in quiz scores, as well as activation in the brain related to the sensorimotor region whenreasoning about angular momentum at a later time. Other studies such as that of S. Freeman et al.[2] have also shown that through active learning, students gain the ability to perform better ontests than without active learning. Therefore, with the shift into a virtual learning space, itbecomes imperative to maintain the kinesthetic learning aspect of laboratory based courses, toengage students, as well as to help them gain better conceptual

includes different methods: • Blended learning: also referred to as hybrid learning that combines the advantages of both face-to-face and online instructions [1-4]. • Flipped learning: students are asked to read the textbook and supporting documents before class, and class time is used for solving problems, conducting in-class activities, and seeking help from instructors [5, 6]. This method can be conducted in both online and face-to-face teaching approaches. It encourages learner-centric activities and assist personalized learning, improve students’ critical thinking ability, as well as accommodating students’ different learning styles [5, 7, 8]. • Fully online learning: teaching and learning are

students to get proper education. E-learning can be achieved in three modes: (1) virtual face-to-face, i.e., synchronous, (2) lecturesare recorded and uploaded for the students, i.e., asynchronous, and (3) hybrid which combinesboth face-to-face and synchronous/asynchronous learning. However, teaching an engineeringlaboratory class is not suitable in the first two modes as laboratory classes are designed to givehands-on experience to the students. Hybrid method which includes hands-on experimentalcomponent is more appropriate for the lab classes. However, due to the pandemic, only fewstudents could participate during the face-to-face session while others observed the experiment inthe virtual classroom. Therefore, this added difficulty for majority

Introduction The task of transportation engineering, as stated by the Institute of Transportation Engineering(ITE) Committee (1990), is not only "to do various activities associated with current practice"but also to "provide … with the tools necessary to solve new problems that arise".

formeasuring impedance in networks versus frequency, gain and reflection versus frequency, andtime domain impulse/step response of systems. Many universities have VNAs in their researchlaboratories. Few universities offer undergraduate courses that expose all students to VNAtechnology primarily due to the cost of the instrumentation which can run from $5k for a 1 GHzmodel and $250k+ for a millimeter-wave model. In the last two years, an open sourcenanoVNA was developed and introduced to the market with a $50 price for a 1.5 GHz VNA and$150 for a 3 GHz VNA. This breakthrough in cost/performance now allows all universities touse VNAs in their laboratories. Each student can have access to their own VNA laboratoryexperiment set since the cost is now

The week-long camp includes hands-on activities aimed tointroduce students to engineering design, scientific inquiry, sustainability, and how engineerscontribute to protecting human health and the environment. In summer 2020, due to thepandemic, the camp was reformatted from in-person to virtual. The virtual platform enabled thecamp to reach more students, especially those with limited resources to

This paperreports on the course design and particular laboratory experiences, as well as the studentperformance in the (hybrid) pilot of the course.There is existing literature describing similar courses, however, few papers describe these coursesin enough detail to replicate, and many do not cover the exact content that is desired of theMechatronics Systems Design course presented in this work [1]-[9].

Annis School of Engineering, University ofIndianapolis were tasked with designing a fixture for the Institute for Affordable Transport (IAT) BasicUtility Vehicle (BUV). BUV produces basic transportation and vehicles for developing countries thatfeature robust and simple designs. The project involved a service component because the BUV is beingused for critical applications including agricultural, water and medical transportation in developingcountries (Figure 1). Exposure of students to such open-ended and real life projects will help the studentsto develop critical professional and technical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork,problem solving, project management

questions wereadministered a second time, during the final two weeks of the course. Survey results suggestsome increase in student self-regulatory behaviors during the course. These results suggest that,near the end of the course, students were more likely to set study goals for themselves.IntroductionSelf-regulated learning refers to how students control their own learning [1], [2]. Pintrichdescribes a framework for self-regulated learning based on four areas of regulation (cognition,motivation, behavior, and context) and four phases of regulation (planning, monitoring, control,and reflection) [3]. The planning phase includes setting goals and planning time and effort. Goalsetting has been shown to increase academic performance [4]. Monitoring
