internalpassion and help to create a better programmer, a better engineer, a better team member, andbetter person.About the CourseThe introductory programming course (ECCS 1611 Programming 1) at Ohio NorthernUniversity (ONU) consists of one-semester four-credit courses. The course consisting of three50-minute lectures plus a 165-minute laboratory for 15 weeks. Programming 1 is offered in thefall term and focuses on using C++ to implement small programs exercising concepts insequencing, selection, iteration, pointers, basic data structures, and an introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) design. This course, normally taken in the first year, is requiredfor all ONU students majoring in computer science, computer engineering, or

is what the traditional classroom is based on [4]. Interactive strategies arebased around class discussion and group assignments. Students are forced to interact with eachother and the instructor in figuring out the task or concept at hand. This method promotes activelearning and is heavily relied on in the flipped classroom model. Individualized strategies run offthe notion that students learn at different paces, and these strategies are heavily based onprogress in sequential steps. Experiential strategies involve putting a student in the field orsimulated environment that is similar to the environment they could potentially be working in.This type of strategy is very common when it comes to internships, laboratory settings
home one of only five prizes. Additionally, he has developed and taught fourteen different courses, many of which were in the areas of energy, sustainability, thermodynamics, dynamics and heat transfer. He has always made an effort to incorporate experiential learning into the classroom through the use of demonstrations, guest speakers, student projects and site visits. Dr. Kerzmann is a firm believer that all students learn in their own unique way. In an effort to reach all students, he has consistently deployed a host of teaching strategies into his classes, including videos, example problems, quizzes, hands-on laboratories, demonstrations, and group work. Dr. Kerzmann is enthusiastic in the continued pursuit of
students the opportunity to engage in hands-on experience with mapping, beyond what would have been feasible with passivelectures/demonstrations. QGIS remains an accessible option for remote offerings of surveying-related lecture and laboratory courses.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2027637: RAPID: Impacts of Unprecedented Shift to Online Learning on Students' CognitiveLoad and Readiness for Self-Directed Learning.

The new solution had to replicate this process as closely as possible. • Easy to disseminate: The instructional team responsible for the course were already transitioning courses and laboratories online, along with dealing with the inherent work overhead of an online course. The solution could not require an instructor to create duplicate documents, copy and paste code for multiple teams, or other work-intensive operations. • Self-checking: In the in-person implementation, the instructional team (one faculty member and multiple undergraduate teaching assistants) would rotate around the classroom

Workshops were delivered by subject-matter experts, further facilitating networking and community building.

online. Specifically, the campus itself was closed to students and faculty alike, resulting in a hands-on laboratory component that shifted to an ad-hoc “kitchen table” video demonstration format. For senior capstone industrial sponsored projects, the team meetings, sponsor interactions, and project presentations were all converted to a “virtual” format. However, the biggest thing I missed was the interaction with the students in the classroom. I felt the environment was not as interactive and the students tended not to be as engaged. Course content was delivered virtually with lab videos recorded showing how the labs were performed (by the instructor) and the data were collected and sent to the students

Typically, the laboratory time includes anintroduction to the method of experimentation, related physics and engineering concepts, keystatistical principles required for data analysis and the establishment of the theoretical frameworkfor each experiment. Students also identify key variables, constraints and potential sources forerror within their methodology during this lab time. Lecture periods are used to discuss technicalwriting best practices, key concepts in engineering writing, appropriate methods for presentationof data

of essential notions of intellect, drive, and self-discipline thatcenter on bodily ‘normalcy’” [8]. Notions of engineering skill have assumptions about “capable”bodies and minds built into them [12]. For example, to be seen as proficient at circuit design andtesting in an electrical engineering lab, one is expected to have the manual dexterity tomanipulate centimeter-long resistors and capacitors and the visual acuity to see small details upclose. A students’ demonstration that they understand the workings of a circuit is often conflatedwith the physical act of circuit-making in the laboratory. In such instances, lack of physicaldexterity or visual sharpness may be interpreted as lack of proficiency at engineering tasks.Because of the

They picked Unltimaker Cura since it is relatively easier to install on their own PCand use. Then, they printed their parts with 3D printers available in laboratory. One of theimportant tasks was to optimize their part shape with Fusion 360. In this program, they can usevarious geometry from the nature and redesign their parts by making an analogy with the organicshape. Through the optimization task, students generate a part with similar mechanicalperformance yet reduced weight, which is very important for industry as they always tend to

The 1978-1979 calendar listing incorporated the changes made tomeet the CAB requirement for engineering science, and design andsynthesis. Additional changes approved by Senate for 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 included a required course in Engineering Economics, and raising thetotal of Social Sciences, Humanities and Administrative Studies to atotal of five courses, or to 12.5% of the total curriculum.

A bundle sevenfeet long only delivered 50% of the entering light (Kapany,1960). Even high quality optical glasses used to fabricatelenses had losses of 1000 dB/km or more (Marcuse, 1973).Charles Kao at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories pro-posed that the high loss of most glasses was not an inherentproperty, but was caused by impurities. He stated in 1966that fused silica (quartz) may have losses as low as 80 dB/kmand would be a practical light waveguide (Marcuse, 1973).In 1970, the Corning Glass Works produced a fiber whose losswas measured to be 20 dB/km at the frequency of the helium-neon
Professionals: This course is designed tointroduce and develop the skills and knowledge necessary to create and present effective publiccommunication of technical content for a technical or general audience.In addition to these courses, students are required to write laboratory and design project reportsin many of their mechanical engineering courses such as Introduction to Problem Solving andDesign (ME 201), Engineering Analysis (ME 291), Mechanical Engineering Experimentation I(ME 336), Mechanical Engineering Experimentation II (ME 436), Mechanical EngineeringExperimentation III (ME 446), Mechanical Engineering Design Project I (ME 428), andMechanical Engineering Design Project II (438).

Extensiveuse was made of the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel combined with programming writtenin Visual BASIC for Applications. During coursework, particularly laboratory sections, simplecharts and calculations are made with Excel but the scope and complexity of this project went farbeyond what is typically expected in an undergraduate course.

in 3 / 4 of the cases. Thisthen provides a teachable moment – a vulnerable time when they may really listen to advice. Iwill also tell them what sort of punishment I am considering – zero for the project, shared pointsfor a group effort, or something else that is appropriate. In the other 1 / 4 cases they usually saynothing – neither admitting nor denying. These are much more difficult as they know how thesystem works and abuse it. There does not seem to be a teachable moment with these students, soI simply explain what my punishment will be and ask if they understand.Bibliography 1. CIP. (1996).
