social media and other technology? Although the global pandemic made the transition towards remote learning unavoidable, it isworth noting that leaders in engineering education had already been shifting towards a blend of in-person and online teaching components, to provide interactive, hands-on, multidisciplinary, andproblem-based learning in a cost-effective, easily scalable, and personalized manner that preparesstudents for their future careers in an increasingly digital era [6]. Inspired by this innovative approach, we propose to develop a set of interactive onlinematerials science lectures to promote student engagement and experiential learning. This extendedabstract will discuss four ways in which we have reimagined the

the development of educational laboratories and how changes have been incorporatedthroughout the years. The use of laboratory as part of the engineering curriculum can trace itsroots to the training of military engineers, combining theory with lots of practice. FollowingWorld War II, the ASEE Grinter report noted that the engineers being produced were toopractically oriented and were not sufficiently trained to seek solutions by referring to firstprinciples. While engineering programs became more theoretical after World War II, a balancewas struck in engineering curricula to include laboratories in an effort to ensure that thegraduating engineers were prepared for their industrial careers. More recently, there have beensignificant

Rapidly embracing new fields of endeavor, “including those that require openness to interdisciplinary efforts with non-engineering disciplines such as science and social science and business”. In addition, taking a lead in the public domain by seeking to influence public policy positively. Critically, the report calls for engineers to be informed leaders in sustainable development. Moreover, it notes that this influence “should begin in our educational institutions, and be founded in the basic tenets of the engineering profession and its actions”.

This involved extensive review of the courses offered in the respectiveprograms at both institutions and the creation of a matrix of courses showing which coursescould substitute for each other and precisely when these courses would be offered. During theprocess of creating such a matrix it was also decided that research projects were always a goodmeans of enhancing the overall student experience and would be handled on a case-by-casebasis.Finally, a long-term goal of the collaboration between the UW-Stout and the h_da is a truefaculty exchange program.

In such tools, learners are taught about the data structures,loops and programming style by helping them arrange simple colored blocks one after another.In Undergraduate curriculum, most of the students who opt for engineering degrees, do not havethe programming background due to their career interests.
