an introduction to engineering designcourse during the fall semester. This course consists of a twice-weekly, one-hour lecture and atwo-hour laboratory. The lecture on Monday mainly focuses on engineering topics related totwo interactive team projects. Guest lectures are presented on Wednesday. These lecturesrepresent the various engineering majors offered at Binghamton University. The laboratories aretaught by engineering instructors and graduate engineering students. Students are also requiredto take a weekly two-hour course with a focus on writing and oral presentations. The courseprovides instruction to students on how to write reports and present oral presentations regardingtheir projects. Both courses utilize undergraduate course

Best practices such as hands-on learning through laboratory experimentation and field data collection have been shown to improve technical and analytical skills. Additionally, community service and outreach programs have aided students in mastering communication skills and applying appropriate learning strategies. This study attempts to quantify the gains obtained by a service-learning/community outreach project course and determine if course design can

Students pursuing careers in disciplines like science and engineering, where in-person laboratory experiences are valuable to their preparedness for jobs in the industry, havebeen impacted severely by the disruption of COVID-19 [10], [11].Following the unprecedented disruptions caused by the pandemic, governments of manycountries took several extraordinary measures, including the closure of schools, publicgatherings, large and small businesses, social distancing, and campaigns to build healthawareness, in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic [4], [6], [7], [9].Moreover, as in-person learning ended for many schools, many

Previous authors have offered courses focused on challenge-based [29], experience-based [30], and laboratory-focused [31] approaches to teachsustainability and sustainable development, but our course is unusual in that it attempted thesubject in an entirely remote format. There is increased recognition of the need forinterdisciplinarity in approaching the topic of sustainability and alternative energy technologiesin engineering coursework; our work adds to the literature by presenting and assessing aninterdisciplinary course offered across majors and schools. Further, by assessing student interestand proficiency in course topics according to major, we can understand how these

These apps are not optimized for microcontroller educa-tion and are not able to provide timely feedback to the students.Another option for remote microcontroller education is to use a simulation platform such as Tin-kerCAD, which can provide timely feedback on students’ work [4]. However, simulations are notvivid enough, especially simulations of sensors and motors. Remote Laboratory [9] is another op-tion where the experiments are performed remotely, and the

Scientific principles involved in technological applications are often a major component of these courses [1]. • Technology Focus Courses: These courses tend to address a single technological topic or issue. Subject matter is intentionally focused rather than intentionally broad. In some cases, the courses have a substantial technical or quantitative component. The classes frequently include

They were perceivedto contribute to better MHW as they provided students to see the practical real-world applicationsof their courses. Students wanted improvement in the laboratory like providing more state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. The study participants were of the view that they should be able toengage in research work to gain practical hands-on experiences. For example, one of theparticipants said the following. “The college of engineering should have more research opportunities available for students in professors’ labs.
