Outsideof their independent research projects, TTE participants are trained in research protocol,laboratory safety, and professional ethics; and participate in academic and professionaldevelopment activities to prepare for a baccalaureate degree and career in science andengineering.

Inclusion of professional skills in the civilengineering curriculum has become increasingly important through the implementation of theBody of Knowledge.1In some cases of implementing peer review into the classroom experience, peer review isconsidered part of writing in teams.2, 3, 4 Conventional team writing has been documented to havelimited interactions in producing cohesive final written documents.4, 5 In at least one instance(Ref. 4), a highly structured writing cycle was implemented to allow laboratory team membersan opportunity to serve in different roles associated with typical peer review process (i.e., leadauthor, reviewer, editor). These roles were rotated to permit each student an opportunity to servein each role during the term. In

The method is usedto aid in presenting the theory, as well as for a laboratory exercise. The basic equationsfor a variety of node types are included, as well as equation modifications that are used toaccount for several thermal loading and boundary conditions. The lectures are reinforcedwith homework practice problems before the more involved lab exercise. Finally, the labexercise is included.

The procedure is: a) develop a list of resources and notes that will be used as pedagogical and reference materials b) develop and prescribe lectures and lab, and their corresponding assignments c) plan complementary activities (e.g., guest speakers, case studies seminars) d) evaluate, assess and revise developed materials and implementation procedures.In the modified courses, laboratory exercises are designed to reinforce student learning in theclassroom through hands-on practices.

Many of the upperclassmen in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville stated that if they had known they would use a specific topic from thePhysics, Calculus, or Linear Algebra classes they would have paid more attention to the materialwhen taking the class since they would have some idea how they would use that knowledge intheir junior/senior years. With these reasons in mind, a new laboratory exercise involving threedimensional simulations of six degree of freedom physics based models for unmanned vehicleswas developed

They believe thatthere are hidden costs associated with such software based on the saying that open sourcesoftware is free as in getting a free puppy but not free as in getting free beer. On the contrary,open source software is ideal for use at academic and research institutions. Not because it is free,but more importantly it offers an open laboratory to explore, modify and enhance the software asneeded. This process offers unparalleled opportunities to examine the design, architecture, andinner workings of production quality software. The latter are invaluable for students majoring inscience and engineering disciplines.One drawback in the solutions that we have proposed is that they require using

teachingto alternative modes. This change in mode of instruction was not just limited to higher education,but also at elementary schools through K-12. This transition to online course development andteaching without adequate training brought challenges to instructors as well as students (1 – 5).Much of the focus during Covid-19 was to convert in-person lectures to online zoom format(synchronous), since it was much faster to adopt. However, there were many instances, such asfor laboratory classes, zoom format was inadequate. In such situations, the courses were offeredin a hybrid format with limited in-person laboratory sessions. Currently, emergency onlineinstruction is not the norm anymore since the Covid-19 restrictions have eased. While there
