Paper ID #37515Maintaining an Engaging Remote Learning Environment: Astudy of instructors’ tactics and students’ perspectives duringthe pandemicMohamed Zaghloul Mohamed A. S. Zaghloul was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1987. He received his B.E. degree in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering in 2009, and his M.Sc. degree in Engineering Physics in 2012, both from the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University. In 2019, he received a Ph.D. from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the University of Pittsburgh, in developing optical fiber sensors for monitoring harsh environments. Since 2019

The key idea behind an LLC is thatstudents live together, usually on the same floor(s) of a dormitory, and that students areeither pursuing the same academic majors/concentrations or are participating in a (ofteninterdisciplinary) curricular program specifically created for the LLC. Studies haveshown an increased sense of student belonging and/or academic success(EdMc02,Stas03,SSMN+13,SuFi08,Mart20). Our work shares the goals of increasingengagement, belonging, and persistence, but we add in the hope of building andenhancing a JEDI mindset.LLC SpecificsAt the University of Denver (DU) we have an umbrella organization for ourLLCs. Before this year we had five LLCs: Innovation and
high-quality evidence of learning. Based on the teaching this past fall semester, the two importantelements in learning are to have (1) clear-cut learning outcomes in mind for every teachingmodule, and (2) be able to monitor student learning across the semester.References 1.

Islam Khan Received his B.S. and M. S. from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology where he also served as a Lecturer and Assistant Professor. Currently, Khan is a Ph.D. candidate at Washington State University. He has been involved in multidisciplinary research including hands-on learning for STEM education, transport modeling in micro/nanoscale devices, and various inverse techniques including Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo methods, neural network, and deep/machine learning for adeno-associated virus and liposome characterization. In 2020, he was awarded the best Research Assistant award by the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University. Khan plans to pursue a
take multiple discipline-specific engineering courses intheir initial semester. Discovering a major is not a good fit often results in transfer studentsleaving engineering or significantly lengthening time to degree completion. To promote students’confidence in their major choice, students will view a video introducing engineering majorsavailable at Mississippi State University. The BETS course will include additional pertinentinformation for new transfer students. Topics for BETS Transitions include: • How to use the CANVAS course – A quick how-to video to highlight the functions of the course • Choosing an Engineering Major – Engaging video(s) to introduce engineering majors • Orientation – Information about orientation

It also does not reflect the capacity or talent of those more than 90,000underrepresented people who earned S&E doctorate degrees between 2005 and 2015 in the U.S.[11]. This trend led Congress to allow eligible agencies to use 3 percent of their small businessgrant budget set aside for administrative purposes to support underserved groups under theSBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011. As result, many agencies use this fund for outreach tounderserved groups.The private sector tells a similar story.

problem-solving and sustainable development. They need to be supplemented with human initiatives, creative innovations, and prompt action, all based on values that are grounded in pursuit of the common good through principles upholding non-hierarchical and democratic processes, personal courage, and a shared commitment to helping others—othercentredness instead of self-centredness. These strategies need to proceed from recognition that people on the ground are invaluable sources of local knowledge, wisdom and insight, which should be called upon for problem solving and new knowledge creation.

distributed throughout the system. One of the first topics of discussionin a System Dynamics or Vibrations course usually involves lumping elements of continuousmechanical systems such that their total inertia, stiffness, and damping can be represented asmass, spring, and damper elements, respectively. Distributed-parameter models involve partialdifferential equations (PDEs), which are significantly more difficult to solve than the ordinarydifferential equations (ODEs) associated with lumped-parameter models. The mathematicalcomplexity of distributed-parameter models, however, allows for the motion of the system to bedetermined at any location and at any time.

appear to have difficulty being patient with theprocess of learning from the videos.Future Ideas1) The author plans to continue with traditional classroom instruction for lessons one, two, andfive with one adjustment – to create back-up videos for the material presented in class. 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. The benefits of thisflipped classroom approach would be to have more interaction time with students during theirportion of the homework that is less structured and
