Further, we provide the applicationof competency measures in the context of a fourth-year course in machine design for mechanicalengineering. Our course re-design delivered in Summer 2022 as a pilot implementation with 18 students(both online and in-person) and during Fall 2022 full implementation with 43 students (in-person only)demonstrates the use of specific course planning tools for aligning instruction and assessments schedules.We highlight how learning management system tools provide automated assessments, freeing up facultytime from direct grading to allow for more time to interact with students whose misconceptions

three areas in which I believe graduate students will benefit most: developing coursematerials, in-classroom experience, and receiving feedback. For developing course materials, Ifound meeting with my faculty mentor before the semester began to discuss the syllabus and courseevolution was helpful for seeing how past experience can be used to continuously improve a course.Meetings with our supervising professor and graduate student peers were opportunities to brainstormand refine my ideas for in-class activities. Also as a result of our meetings and reflective writing, Iwas able to ensure that each activity could be mapped to the learning objectives. For example, thein-class worksheet for my instrumentation lecture was a tool for students to

Also, a larger number of students self-funded their projects(faster part delivery times straight to their homes). The survival stage for this semester was shortsince the university required concurrent f2f and online teaching methods. This resulted in somesmall changes to the course syllabus. Pedagogical changes balancing f2f and synchronous onlinemodes were implemented delineating the adaption stage.

is satisfactory, andwhere additional focus is needed. Finally, we also found that there are manychallenges to using a single concept inventory to assess student understanding in agiven class or course. The most important challenge arises because of thepractical limit on the number of questions in a given inventory. This limits thenumber of questions for any specific topic, which means that it may be impossibleto accurately assess student understanding for all topics in a typical engineeringcourse using a single inventory assessment.As a result of this past work, we have been engaged in the development of a morecomprehensive system for assessment of student learning.

As weekly take home assignments, students have to reviewcarefully selected sections of the courseware. To assess that they actually complete theassignments, we count as part of their final grade both, the average grades of online labs and theaverage grades of quizzes at the end of each section assigned. Students can take the quizzes andthe labs as many times as they need to pass them. However, the minimum passing grade is 80%.Thus, the course grading policy is as follows:  Homework assignments: 50%  Quizzes: 25%  Labs: 25

Also,several of the readings offer practical guidance for incorporating and assessing student writingassignments. The second half of the MIWE course is largely focused on allowing facultymembers to revise the class they intend to teach MIWE-style. They revise the syllabus anddesign at least one formal writing assignment that will be added to the course work.Throughout the MIWE course, faculty are encouraged to view writing as process rather thanproduct; this places more emphasis on the learning that happens during and as a result of writingrather than on the grade that a given writing

With COVID-19, postgraduate education was forced to move to remotelearning. Birk et al. 1 conducted a reasonable practice for online teaching of a robotics course atJacobs University Bremen. Although their lectures covered most of the robotics areas, they usedpre-recorded videos to teach and did not hold labs to demonstrate the operations on real robots.The sudden pivot created a paradigm shift for robotics courses traditionally taught in-personwhere students had the opportunity to experience interaction

To address this, we design a standalone, self-paced, online Academic Integrity course module targeted at CS students. Our module aims to increase student awareness about academic misconduct, inform students about the potential consequences of academic misconduct, and educate students about strategies and resources to avoid academic misconduct, incorporating scenarios and information specifically relevant to CS throughout. In this paper, we present the details of the module and report our experiences and analysis from deploying it in eight courses within the CS program at UNC Charlotte in the Spring and Fall of 2021
