however, WEdoes not imply “writing intensive.” Certified WE courses are not meant to be “writing classes;”instead, writing should be one of several instructional focuses, as required by the new WEinitiative.Since this new initiative is taking effect in Fall 2021, the WE Committee has not established thefinal assessment criteria. The plan is to have each program submit an assessment processregarding the WE related learning outcomes.Literature Review:Writing is an important skill that all engineers should have. Its importance is reflected in ABETaccreditation criterion 3 for student outcomes, “an ability to communicate effectively with arange of audiences.”Wheeler and McDonald [1] stated that writing is a useful tool in engineering if developed
generators,digital multimeters, and oscilloscopes, among others. However, this COVID-19 pandemic hasforced universities all over the world to adopt newer strategies in implementation of traditionalface-to-face laboratories. This sudden change in the format of traditional face-to-facelaboratories means that there is a pressing need for thoughtful planning of laboratory educationto minimize the negative effects of this pandemic. While significant literature exists detailingboth the advantages and the disadvantages of non-traditional electrical engineering laboratorycourses implemented through either standalone or some combination of simulations, remotecontrol of laboratory equipment, and/or distant labs implemented through at-home lab-kits; I didnot

Students answer multiple choicequestions where they identify 3D objects created by revolving a given 2D shape.Week 2: Isometric drawings and coded plans. Students answer various multiple-choice questions withcoded plans and begin using the computer-based sketching tool.

Interactions with both end-user clinicians and productdevelopment engineers will provide students with a unique multidisciplinary experience that webelieve may fuel better senior design project ideas. Lastly, the quantitative assessment of ClinicalNeeds, suggest its has a positive impact on student outcomes, but has thus far been limited to asingle senior exit interview question. To allow for a finer grained assessment of the course’simpact we plan to develop an more detailed assessment that will include both student and seniordesign instructor feedback as well metrics to assess the impact of the industry interactions.KeywordsFaculty paper, service learning, senior designJeffrey WolchokJeffry Wolchok received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the

Thisassignment was assessed by me in a traditional classroom setting and is a significant objective ofmy course. I plan to repeat this activity in my subsequent classes.This pedagogical practice can be implemented with first-year engineering students as well. Amajor objective of this workshop is to inspire attendees to encourage first-year engineeringstudents to write lab reports, design projects, resumes, business letters, and other assignments onLaTeX which is more flexible, stable, and versatile than other word processing systems.

This tool detectscopied work and provides statistical similarity values such that the instructor can take adequatemeasures to address this issue promptly. In future work, we plan to investigate students’perspectives about the tool and its efficacy.Introduction:Even though students are taught to avoid plagiarism at all levels of education, from k-12 tograduate school, higher education instructors still observe and deal with academic misconductsuch as cheating and copying or using another person’s work without permission or credit.

Employing a targeted approach to outreach,NSBE must recognize both national and local barriers to provide engineering experiences that areaccessible and engaging for their target audience. Central to NSBE’s outreach approach is a four-stage strategic plan, including: (1) city identification, (2) school/site identification, (3)advertisement and marketing, and (4) selection and enrollment. While many of these strategies arecommon among outreach programs, increasing access requires an additional layer of planning inwhich stakeholders must not only identify what approaches to implement, but also how best toimplement them based upon the target population.

stated, the very process of pursuing support can be a challenge for some students.Provided the nature of college-level disability support offices, students have to requestaccommodations and present current documentation detailing their disability (Habmlet, 2014).While students may have had an individualized education plan (IEP) and student support team inhigh school, it does not mean that they were made aware of the process or documentation neededto secure services in college. If students know about college-level disability support services andpursue them, they may present documentation from high school, which in many instances is notsufficient for services at the college level (Hamblet, 2014). In this case, the student would thenhave to get the

One student offered: I spent eight hours on my project, and I lost my flash drive. So I learned to back it up. I have an external hard drive now so I can back up to it. When you said to make a backup in the lab, I just made a copy on the same flash drive. I never thought of losing my flash- drive.In terms of demonstrating communication skills, seven of the nine students interviewed haddeveloped a planning document to assist with the organization and planning of the video project.While such a document was recommended for completing the project, there was no requiredtemplate or format assigned

-level students.Teamwork is an important skill to teach to engineers, especially to facilitate appropriate designs[17-19]. However, many intervention activities are limited [20], inappropriate for a specificsetting [21-24], or require a large amount of financial resources or faculty time [25-27]. In thestudy on Pandemic, intellectual diversity, goal setting, task planning, equal contribution,communication, group decision making, and team cohesion were identified as important skills[11, 12]. These will be defined in a later section along with other teamwork skill we believecould be addressed through games.While the team is very familiar with a number of commercial board games, we decided to gather“expert” opinion on which games would be best to
