surveyresults indicate that many students enjoyed the hands-on workshops and would recommend theevent to others.Organizing the workshopOrganizing these types of workshops is usually time consuming, and making it hands-on in avirtual environment added another layer of challenge as we could not use the lab equipment wewould normally have available for tests. The authors' first challenge was to plan the activitieswhich the students could perform safely without needing help from an adult and without any labequipment.The next challenge was the cost. Funding is always a problem for outreach activity, and it is evenmore challenging for virtual events involving hands-on activities. For in-person hands-onactivity, students will work as a group and the

Provided in each fall semester, the objectives of the course are to understand thefundamental mechanism and principles of airport planning and development, airport financemanagement, airport marketing and communication, and governmental and public relations.Before 2020 fall semester, Airport Administration was provided with 70% face-to-face lecture oncampus and 30% field trips to three airports. Field trip was of great importance in the course as itprovided students with opportunities to connect the knowledge students learned from class withthe real world application.

Before they started building, students were asked to consider: 1. Who are engineers, and what do they do? 2. What role do engineers play in sustainable development?Next, students were given a brief presentation on sustainable city planning and urbandevelopment with a specific focus on the role of engineers in promoting sustainability. Using thisknowledge, students worked in pairs on Cospaces to create small-scale sustainable cities that canbe visualized with MergeCube Augmented Reality.

Forexample, we designed the digital activities and unplugged activities to complement to each other;key concepts are presented to students and then reinforced in different learning materials; and wedesigned materials and activities to engage students visually, spatially, auditorily, andkinesthetically.The design of the comic book was guided by the anchored instruction framework (Cognition andTechnology Group at Vanderbilt, 1990).

that“the kind of research [I am] trying to do is very much different from what my advisor does. Thisis very new to her, and also to me.” Students sometimes had to look beyond their primaryadvisor, but felt the program needed to provide more visibility of faculty advisors acrossdisciplines. Students perceived that “some of the faculty seem more interested…listen more, andtry to give feedback…like a core faculty group,” but most were not able to attend meetingsregularly and were unaware of students’ research interests. Discord existed between students’expectations for their interdisciplinary programs’ offerings and the faculty involved in planning.“Uh, the faculty even they don’t know who is charge of the seminar […] So we don’t knowwho’s

For example, instead of teaching coding and data analysistogether, students were first asked to interpret data and SAS output first. Then they were taughtto plan out the coding, and then finally code. And in light of the on-going pandemic, studentservices such as Personal Counseling were brought in to make class presentations and connectstudents directly with their services.

More online resources regarding safety withCNC machines have been added, and individual follow-up assignments are required and graded.These were established to hold students accountable to engage with the provided onlineresources, and we expect that adding these requirements will make students more prepared in thelab. Therefore, assignments can be completed more quickly, and we plan to include a project inthe last month of the spring 2022 semester.Peer to Peer LearningStudents in the pilot semester felt it was hard to absorb information during lectures and indicatedthey learned

after NSF support ends.The 2021-2022 academic year is the third of the five-year program, although, given emergentrecruitment issues, we foresee application for a no-cost extension. The primary concern is thelow number of students currently supported in comparison to our goals, highlighting recruitmentfor further examination. We planned to support up to twenty students in year 1, 52 students inyear 2, and 70 students in year 3, but our actual numbers in the first three years are 7, 12, and 28students. Given this trend, our concern over how we recruit students into SPECTRA is now atthe forefront of our work. The program is not reaching eligible students, and low recruitment haslimited the quality of research needed to inform the construction of

Group work can offer many benefits, including improving communication andteamwork skills, appreciation and respect for others. However, group work activity sometimesleads students into a challenging experience, especially for students who are not familiar withgroup activities at university, and may also decrease individual performance. When creatinggroups, instructors are faced with deciding whether to allow students to form their groups or assignthem to groups, whether to switch groups or keep them the same all semester and whether torequire students to submit their work individually or as a group [12,13

undergraduate education. The utilization of Massive Open OnlineCourses (MOOCs) in undergraduate education is increasing in popularity due to their accessibility,user-friendly format, and their ability to prepare students with the specific skills and knowledge to entertheir desired field. In 2024, NASA plans to land the next man and the first woman on the Moon throughthe Artemis program. Preparing for this mission requires astrodynamics and trajectory design knowledgethat is beyond the scope of most undergraduate, and even graduate, education. It is critical that theengineers working on this mission overcome this knowledge gap to ensure a successful mission. Our teamhas created a MOOC entitled Teaching the Moonshot to help bridge this gap for
