-level, stand-alone course or in a cleanroom, which maynot be practical in an undergraduate BME curriculum. Furthermore, without these hands-on labsthat take place in a cleanroom, microfluidics classes are often taught as theory-based, conflictingwith literature on the benefits of hands-on learning. Broadly speaking, teaching microfabricationmethods is often limited to the graduate level and/or selectively to advanced undergraduates,making this instruction inaccessible to a large population of students.Educators are beginning to successfully incorporate microfluidics hands-on activities. Forexample, one paper describes the development of a mass conservation laboratory module using amicrofluidic device for undergraduate fluid mechanics education

Students will use them for computation,drafting, and writing laboratory reports. One of the young teachers could be trained to teachcomputer-aided design (CAD) to the students.5.3 TextbooksThe Faculty is severely suffering from the shortage of textbooks. Existing edition of textbooksare old and outdated. One text is shared by several students which severely hamper their abilityto prepare for their classes. Several alternatives could be followed to alleviate the problem.As a first alternative, it is necessary to contact American publishers for their South Asian prints. Ihave identified three
flexibility. This includes numerous tools, such as graphics, animation, video, audio, or somecombination. It also includes the manner in which the media is delivered. Computer modules mayalso help students move into a higher level of thinking. These higher levels, according to Bloom’sTaxonomy4, include analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Rhoads, Zimmer, Lewis, and Hubele13have attempted to move students in their statistics classes into these higher levels. They usedcomputers in a laboratory setting for in-class exercises. Online multimedia has a significantadvantage because students can view the content in a self-paced and asynchronous fashion17. Self-pacing has potential for significantly enhancing student’s learning and retention of
ones such as “what are the functional requirements of education?” -the first question in a systems engineering design task. In fact, there are projects and institutesthinking in exactly this way (ASCD Systems Thinking Newsletter, 1996). Engineering and Educational Philosophy If John Dewey were opening up his famous Laboratory School today instead of 100 yearsago, the occupational theme that teachers would use to teach children "how society has grown tobe what it is" (Tanner, 1997) would not be sewing, cooking, and carpentry, but engineering.With an enormous interest in the social nature of learning and educating children that can liveand work together, Dewey certainly would have been a fan of systems

theSummer Science Institute, is for high school juniors and seniors. The other program, calledSummer Odyssey, is for middle school students. Both programs explain what engineers are,explain what engineers do, and promote problem solving skills. The students also experiencevarious disciplines (or sub-disciplines) of engineering through a combination of presentations,laboratory experiences, and design work. In other words, much of the same material andactivities are used for both programs. Although neither of these programs are specifically forminorities or women, a large portion of the students are female and approximately half areminorities. A review of the material/activities for the summer of 2004 is presented. In addition,in the summer of 2004

.” Today’scollege-bound student’s needs and interests are substantially different than thirty years ago. Tothis end, our faculty has worked over the past few years to find a unique selling proposition. Byworking with current and incoming students in the program, it was determined that the conceptof a career in electronic product and system development (actually participating in the design anddevelopment of the devices they use every day) resonated better with new students. While this isnot a new concept especially in mechanical and manufacturing programs2,3, a literature searchindicates that this idea is unique among electronics programs. In addition, based on efforts atother institutions, a focus in product development lends itself well to teaching
undergraduate student in topics of medical devices, biomaterials, and clinicalanatomy. This paper details the development, application, and assessment of a mentoredundergraduate teaching and research program known as Creative Inquiry at Clemson Universitythat is focused on the development of a statewide implant retrieval program for educational andresearch purposes.IntroductionThe mission of the Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University is to provide anoutstanding education for engineers in bioengineering and developing future leaders.

It is well documented that academia has an ableist problem; however, our dataindicate that ND students feel supported by their peers [4]. This is a very positive finding wheremost studies highlight the negative experiences of ND students [22].Figure 2: Research Demographics related to all participants (96 participants) separating outthe type of research conducted and whether the research was volunteer, credit-bearing, or paid.Neurodivergent participants had a larger percentage indicated strongly agree or agree

includesestablishing an interchange of actions between the student and the video. Screen capture withCamtasia has the advantage of requiring a relatively small initial capital investment and logisticswhen compared to a video recording studio.Based on the experience of Professor Santiago to teaching the laboratory content of EE110, shebelieves that more videos may be needed to provide additional help for students [3]. For onlinedelivery, a problematic issue is helping students troubleshoot their circuits [3]. Hangouts, Skypeor video chat sessions with either the instructors or with other students are possible solutions.Another means is the development of a troubleshooting checklist for students to follow beforerequesting instructor help.Learner Control

During the present crisis of COVID-19 and in the post-COVID-19scenario thereafter in engineering education, when online instructions are rapidly replacing in-presencelectures at the undergraduate level, mastery learning is even more important in order to avoidprofessional limitations, and in the long run of lifelong learning, professional obsolescence.Key words: concentration, COVID-19, online instructions and lab experiments, academic counselling vs.mentoring.IntroductionIn one of the Indian epics, Mahabharata [1], the master archer, Drona, was teaching
