In this work, an innovative teaching/learning tool is presented which focuses on deep learning ofsome engineering skills and principles. The tool is known as the

Cohort 1 was primarily composed of Academic Professional Track (APT) Facultywhose primary role in the department was teaching. Of these, a majority of proposals were in themechanics and materials areas but not many in the thermal sciences and dynamics and controlsareas. A conscious effort was made in year 2 to recruit faculty in these areas; thus cohort 2consisted of about 7-8 Tenure track faculty in areas related to thermal sciences and mechanics.They were paired with APT faculty so that there was a mix of different faculty in each team

Session 2632 Active Learning in Large Lectures Russell D. Meier Kansas State UniversityI. IntroductionActive learning is powerful teaching. I have used active learning techniques in undergraduatecomputer engineering courses at Iowa State University and Kansas State University. I firmlybelieve that the learner-centered, active learning exercises have enhanced student knowledge ofthe material. I was challenged by two large lecture courses during the 1997-1998 academic year.Each course had a class size approaching 100 students. Many instructors believe that

The flexible modality allows asmall number of alternating students to be physically present in the classroom while others attendsynchronously online. The remote virtual and online modalities are performed onlinesynchronously and asynchronously, respectively. They exclude any face-to-face instruction.In this paper, we seek to answer: how do faculty members prefer to teach during the pandemic andwhat are the implications? The research is focused on the engineering and computer science facultyat our university because they individually select the teaching modality that fits their class. Thefaculty included in this

B student.Additionally, exams should be written with ‘reality’ in mind. One goal of the problem solvingprocess is to help students develop intuition. If exams have ‘unrealistic’ values, then studentscannot do a sanity check on their answers to find mistakes, and they will not develop ameaningful engineering intuition.Modifications to the SMART Model for DynamicsAny modification to the SMART model should be done carefully and with an understanding ofthe synergies involved. It is important to implement the SMART approach in a holistic mannerconsistent with its key principles, though some details of the implementation may necessarilyvary from course to course. In the case of application to Dynamics, the goal was to change aslittle as possible

The survey indicates that most instructorsuse traditional methodologies, such as circling errors and writing comments. While these are"tried and true" techniques, they are also time-consuming, especially if instructors are actuallyediting and revising for students.It is important to re-evaluate assessment goals: Is the purpose of evaluation to provide feedback? To prepare students for lives as professional writers, keeping in mind that engineers spend 50-80% of their time communicating in some formal fashion?1 To correct non-standard English?Each goal
