.” 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. With thismission in mind, three goals were identified: 1) to provide students with the education needed fora rewarding career, 2) to provide an intellectually rigorous undergraduate education thatemphasizes

Both ND and NT participantsresponded similarly to having laboratory peers who collaborate and support each other(Figure 3B). 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

, and subsequently measuring the effectiveness through outcomes assessment, this approachis significantly less familiar for the non-technical skills. Shuman et al. [11] has addressed theissue and summarized recent work regarding both teaching and assessing these non-technicalskills. Assessment, it should be noted, is of particular concern to educational institutions due tothe more stringent requirements being placed on them by regional accrediting agencies, as wellas by ABET. The authors point out that these non-technical skills can certainly be taught, thoughnot necessarily in the traditional lecture format, as has already been alluded to. Assessment,however, is more difficult. Teamwork skills outcomes, for instance, may not be derived

This requires analyzing the various aspects of ourcurricula, such as our teaching styles, students’ learning styles, classroom interaction, coursematerial selection, instructional design, course activities, student feedback, etc. These should beanalyzed with the gender equity and multicultural perspectives in mind and the results of thisanalysis will help us in identifying opportunities
