for the time commitment of this instructor teaching the same coursemultiple times without redevelopment efforts. This focus on time commitment as a result ofcourse maturity and transitions in delivery style aligns with the recommendation of Worley andTesdell for future research beyond their efforts [5]. Understanding how course maturity impactstime commitment is useful for faculty to estimate workloads and plan work distribution forbalancing teaching, research, and service commitments. Further, understanding how theCOVID-19 pandemic impacted course time commitments provides further insight to how facultyworkload was impacted during this period. While this case study is not generalizable due to theparticipation of only a single instructor, the

This is evident through the correctness metricwhich shows that the student understood what the correct solution is and consistently passed alltest cases once the solution was implemented. Student A was provided with the feedback thattheir code seemed to be developed through a lot of trial and a planning or analysis of the problembefore development could have helped them reach an optimal solution quickly. Whereas StudentB was given the feedback that their code seemed to be developed very methodically and in awell-planned fashion.After a discussion with both students, Student A explained that they tried to solve the problemquickly and

Scores on the firstexam have typically covered the spectrum, with grades ranging from roughly 30 to 100.Prior to the first exam, students construct 14 tutorial parts and complete four chapter assignmentscomprising nine exercise parts. The same tutorials and exercises are assigned each semester.Tutorials are meant to teach technique and exercises assess the student’s understanding. Intutorials, students create parts by following step-by-step videos that were created by theinstructor [3]. Students have access to the instructor, as well as classmates, during

engineering students were expected to work with first-year medical students todevelop innovative solutions for clinical problems. Faculty members from both institutes servedas mentors for student projects. The education objectives are twofold: (1) to develop the criticalthinking skills and independent research ability by solving engineering problems throughauthentic projects, and (2) to increase students’ non-cognitive learning outcomes such ascommitment and engagement with engineering, communication (writing and presentation skills),self-efficacy, and teamwork in a multidisciplinary environment. The first class of this biomedical innovation course started in the fall of 2021. The completeteaching plan comprises two consecutive courses in fall and

supervisor worksdirectly with the student on their research project, oversees the student’s progress, and helps withproject management. For many of the research projects, the student is working on a project that ispart of a larger research project from the supervisor. Part of the research mentor’s responsibilitiesis to help match students with a research supervisor.When a student is ready to take RSCH 395, their research supervisor will be their instructor. Thecourse is held during one of Worldwide’s 9-week terms and is divided into three modules.

Iowa State UniversityAbstractAs evidenced by students’ inability to explain their solutions, abstract concepts without directphysical representations in engineering are difficult to grasp because they lack direct sensory,physical, or perceptual referents. In this pilot study, we investigate whether visual aids helpstudents better understand abstract concepts and improve their learning outcomes. Specifically,in the context of the (Q, r) model in the inventory control theory, we first develop visual aids forlearning and teaching, i.e., the animation of line plots that show the evolution of key quantities inthe (Q, r) model over time. We then plan to use a paired t-test to see if there is any differencebetween the students’ scores in the pre-test

As universities transitionback to “normal“ instruction formats, many have continued to offer an increased amount of onlinecourse content, including lab based courses. IoT technologies can be utilized to enable hands-onlearning opportunities for students, especially those who are learning remotely.To support remote student learning, IoT-based labs have been planned as part of the seniorcapstone design courses in computer science and electrical engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, a Minority Serving Institution.

Short of beingable to directly observe commitment to their major, this item helps assess how likely a student isto change their major. The theory of planned behavior then asserts that actions are typicallypreceded by intentions to act [16], meaning an intent to change majors is a likely indicator of

A few test prints were completed tomake sure the printers were running correctly. Then an Excel file was created to plan out theprints for the tensile specimens. Part of the excel file can be seen on Table 1. Each specimen hasa different orientation, material, shell, and face. These were the independent variables chosen forthe test specimens. As these variables change, the test results will also change, and a conclusionfrom that data can be made. Figure 3 ASTM D638 type IV tensile testing specimen. Figure 4 ASTM A370 Charpy Impact Test

This way,when a student misses a class or needs to review something that he or she didn’t fullyunderstand, they can watch the back-up video(s).2) The author is considering having students do the video tutorials as homework prior to classand then doing the independent portions of the homework in the classroom.
