Each MVP was developed by a team of three or four electrical and computer engineering students. The teams worked together to ensure that all aspects of the product, from design to construction, were integrated and aligned with their overall goals. Team members knew that they would be peer reviewed by one another based on the contribution

Students must redesign the part while preserving functionality to be suitable for both mass-production CNC machining and another manufacturing method dictated by the instructor (such as casting). It must be tested for failure at a specified load via finite element analysis and then simulated for safe, error-free production in Fusion 360 with a limit on maximum total machining time. Afterward, the student will write a short report including a cost analysis of before and after the redesign.This example would integrate CAD, CAE, and CAM into a single project. As a result, thestudent would need to consider multiple objectives during design: purpose, external loading, andmanufacturing

She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strate- gies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineer- ing communication

and breaking down professional silos and isolation in healthcare communitieshas led to the use of virtual communities of practice among other professions, such as ineducation and scientific research.Similar to healthcare professionals, education professionals have also experienced barriersassociated with professional silos and isolation. In particular, faculty at research-intensiveuniversities can hold alternative titles and roles within the institution, which can lead to differentperceptions among their faculty peers and students [7]. For instance, faculty on the tenure trackwith a higher research and lower teaching focused role will have the title “Professor”, whereasthose who have a more teaching focused role can be given the title

To combat thesepotential career consequences, some women report choosing to hide their families from theirworkplace due to fear their work will be devalued (Hill et al., 2014, Thébaud & Taylor, 2021).These realities suggest that motherhood is in opposition to professional legitimacy in academia(Hill et al., 2014; Thébaud & Taylor, 2021).

Perhaps initially studentscould not imagine how complex engineering problems would be solved in an onlineenvironment, without the personal, face-to-face contact with their peers and the instructor. Also,while students had the same writing assignments in the online environment, presentations werecanceled. This could be a reason that students felt this learning outcome might suffer. Asfaculty became more accustomed to the online learning environment and available tools,presentations were required in subsequent semesters.After students experienced the online learning environment, more students felt they would atleast do the same in meeting all the objectives than worse.

Conversely, ifstudents are receiving low confidence scores, this may indicate there is an issue with students notbeing comfortable responding and could identify room for improvement in the classroomenvironment.Two independent raters observed the introductory activities.

UsefulnessPerceptions of usefulness often revealed shortcomings of online teaching in that it removedhelpful measures, such as being reminded of due dates during in-person classes. Several of theauthors noted that while cameras were an inherently useful tool for online learning, they feltuncomfortable trying to enforce their use. Malori wrote in her reflections: The feedback loop of seeing if students understand/when they’re done writing is still pretty much gone - but some students do have their cameras on, so I use them as the gauge. Otherwise I have to rely on students asking questions or for them to tell me to go back a slide.Much of the time, the authors perceived a technology to be useful if students engaged more withit.

Instead,the goal of their current studying and test taking strategies is to “maximize partial credit.” Thesestrategies work as follows. 1. Memorize problems from the homework, in-class examples, or previous exams. 2. Match each problem on the exam to one of the memorized problems that most closely resembles it. 3. Write down the memorized solution, making adjustments along the way so that the solution
