The student projects were designedand evaluated based on the following learning outcomes of the VALUE rubrics: creative thinking,inquiry and analysis, integrative learning, and team collaboration.The following process were used to assess the aforementioned learning outcomes of VALUErubrics in each project. The assessment process for the projects’ learning outcomes was based onthe following, which are mapped in Figure 1. • If students developed a logical, consistent plan, recognized consequences of solutions and if they could articulate the reason for choosing

For this, we used solid works, as we planned on 3D printing the piece. We wereworking with about 12 cm of length on the rod, and the diameter of the inside of the part had to bejust about 2.2 cm to fit on the rod. We tried to find the best balance of strength and freedom ofmobility, as we wanted the piece to be strong enough not to break, but needed to allow for the fullunrestricted rotation of the motor. With these things in mind, we decided on a thickness of 0.3 cm.The

This will be an areafor improvement and stronger focus in upcoming offerings. One way to mitigate this is to focuson these topics using a very small system and hand calculations before moving to a larger systemwhich requires a computer to perform the calculations.In the future, the authors plan to collect data from future offerings of the course to improve uponwhat has been done. This data could be used to answer the question of whether this method ofinstruction is proven to be more effective than simply giving students a simulator to use.In addition, the authors plan to release the course materials

His talk focused on HVAC systems, especially on innovative chiller solutions and basics, and their applications to building configurations. This talk, done by an expert in HVAC industry, brought a different flavor to the planned in-class activities, and the students had the opportunity to ask questions like what the necessary skills are to get hired and be successful in the HVAC industry. Similarly, the lecture was livestreamed and recorded on Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.Project DescriptionIn addition to the previously mentioned activities, part of this Learning Module was a one-monthlong project related to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems

Engineering technology faculty can aspire to become professionally registeredwhich not only makes them more desirable outside academia but also makes them morecredible in the classroom when they are teaching1. If the tenured faculty has relevant andcurrent experience, there is less need to rely on adjunct faculty to fill the void. Thisresults in better coherency in the curriculum, because the faculty is better prepared toteach the current issues instead of hiring outside professionals for practical experiencetype courses.Some students feel that faculty members should be practitioners in the field they areteaching11.

As it stood, the problem statement was pretty muchopen-ended and was thus expected to generate different apparatus designs. There was, however,one important constraint on the design. It had to be explained with equations and principleslearned during class and during class only. In other words, if some students came up with amechanism that worked but they did not understand how its mechanics worked, this would nottranslate into a good project grade for them. This was clearly stated to them before they startedwork on their projects.Before putting together their projects, student groups met with the instructors to discuss theirproject plans. They
Outcome 5 mentions leadership,collaboration, inclusivity, and several management tasks, such as setting goals, planning tasks,and meeting objectives, to clarify the meaning of effective team functioning. Because our programs have courses that require groups of students to work as a team, ourprograms generally meet Outcome 5. However, we would like to do better than merely meet theoutcome. Standing in our way are two challenges: As engineers with expertise in other topics,curating instructional materials (learning activities and assessments) related to teamworkeffectiveness is challenging. There are so many options for teaching students how to work betterin teams that it is overwhelming, making it challenging to select the most appropriate

who participated in the study experienced challenges related to planning andoperationalizing their lessons (e.g., knowing how to select content for their lessons), using thelearning management system, and navigating online classroom environments. Further, analyzingthe data through the lens of Schlossberg’s Transition Theory helped identify that the supportstructure used to cope with challenges was informal mentorship, i.e., participants sought supportfrom senior peers who had taught the same classes they were teaching and built their materialfrom existing resources. These findings provide a first step in creating specific professionaldevelopment activities for both new engineering faculty and new faculty generally to improvetheir experience

that assessment was not inclusive enough for minoritygroups, despite recent curriculum changes to include more coursework. Literature supportsthe argument that very little has changed in terms of tried and tested assessment methods e.g.closed exams, and that student choice and universal design for assessment need to be betterprioritised going forward [17].As part of the planned updates, it is important that students take some ownership ofdiscussion and activity around EDI and that it resonates with them and their livedexperiences.

Firstly, a pre-course survey will be given to students with a set of questions. Thesequestions aim to gather information on the prior knowledge of students related to energyconversion, the specific topics they would like to cover in depth, the format of the course theyprefer, and their interest in

Further investigation is planned into causality of thesecorrelations, and into additional factors that may correlate with earnestness, including: studentstruggle (as measured by time spent and number of attempts required for correct completion) onassessment questions for which students do not have access to the correct answer; variations inlevel of difficulty of questions within a set (for the evaluation in this paper, the level of difficultyfor a question set was defined based on the hardest question in the set); the length of timerequired to perform the participation activities; the percentage of exercises

incrementally throughout the semester, students are notoverwhelmed by the volume of information and hardware options available to them. In this way,the course is also paced appropriately for students.Students taking this course often comment that they plan to rely on a single navigation technique,which is most often the positioning system, for their initial design plans. The structure of theactivities teaches the most robust navigation techniques first. So, by teaching the positioningsystem technique last, students are forced to learn all of the other techniques. As a consequence,many students decide to use the navigation systems they have already implemented and tested andbuild upon them throughout the semester, rather than picking one at the

The goal of this deliverable is for the student toprovide an oral preliminary report where the lab instructor can provide feedback on experimentalplans and preliminary results as well as insight on how to plan for the third and final lab day. Theuse of the video was to give students additional opportunities to improve their oral presentationskills while preventing any loss of lab time. The ~10-12 min oral presentation is given during thescheduled lab period and is graded by both the primary instructor and lab instructor. The writtenreport is due 24 hours after the oral presentation so that students can use the questions andfeedback
provide immersive and generativedesign tools to explore design iterations. • Immersive experience VR technology is commonly used in the architecture industry to create immersive and interactive experiences for clients, letting them move through a proposed space before the completion of the building. This technology can assist designers and clients by providing enhanced visualization and understanding of the space, allowing them to make more informed decisions. VR can also be used for visualization enabling architects to create realistic renderings and animations for the design presentation. Lastly, VR can be used in construction, warranting the builders to plan and visualize the construction process
