Onlinepresentation, use of GitHub for software development, use of Google documents/directory, Googleform for team evaluation and peer evaluation are a few things that can be adopted after pandemic toimprove student learning. In this paper, successes and lessons learned will be shared regarding the useof Zoom in lectures, laboratories, and help sessions, homework and quizzes in Canvas, virtualpresentation for Mini-Maker Faire, feedback from students, and capstone projects.1. IntroductionOnline learning has been studied long before the pandemic [1,2,4,5,6,11,19,20,21,22,23]. In mid 90s, asthe internet increased its popularity, educators started to investigate the feasibility of online education[22]. In
intelligent engineering tasks such asdecision making, problem-solving, and machine learning. New educational modules developedfor the Fall 2021 semester include (1) genetic algorithms for design optimization; (2)classification via machine learning; (3) convolutional neural network and its application forimage processing; (4) signal analyses and fault diagnosis; and (5) reinforcement learning formotion planning. Each module consists of concept explanation, algorithm delivery, real-worldapplication, and python sample codes. The modules can be used as the reference for students incourse projects (not limited to ME:4150) and capstone projects.A project on image-based ship classification was added to the course. Students were required todownload pictures

High-level designs of the required project began as pre-workassignments for Sessions 7 and 8 and continued as presentations/discussions for feedback inSessions 9 and 10. A shared document of all projects [including institution and leader(s)] wasmaintained as a reference for all participants. Implementation of the identity-inclusive projectwas required no later than the spring semester of Year 2. In total, 67 projects were developedacross 67 organizations. Of these, six projects were first implemented before the end of Year 1,with the remaining

that are driving the Industry 4.0 revolution for smart factories [3–5]. Themechanical engineer of the future needs the same foundation of technical skills and ability tosolve problems as always. But additional skills are needed to participate in the IoT revolution.Thus, preparing mechanical engineering students to contribute in this new field is a pressingeducational need.To meet this need, we developed a new modernized mechatronics course that focuses on the IoTtechnologies, and incorporates project-based learning (PjBL) as well as software engineeringmethods from computer science. Our overarching goal is to integrate skills from computerscience and mechanical engineering, and bridge the gap in mechanical engineering curriculum tobetter
complexity. This sandbox encodes genetic dataand abstracts the concepts of behavior and genotypes using machine learning concepts. Besidesinputs and outputs, organisms’ internal networks are completely dependent on its encoded“genes”, a bit string, which includes connections between neurons and the properties of theneurons themselves. Such a sandbox was developed, conclusions and comparisons to nature weremade, as well as insights to possible expansion and application to education. In addition, thereare evaluations of configuration changes and its effects are recorded for each unique trial withinthe simulator. Analysis on similar projects are provided and how they may proceed against someproblems in design and theory. These applications are then put

class time, there are active discussions andhands-on learning related to the learned course content. The design thinking course has threeprojects- the first two projects are small projects aimed to help students learn the designthinking process. The third project is a larger course capstone project where students apply thedesign process to solve a real time problem and come up with functional prototypes as a projectoutcome. All the projects are group-based projects and the final project groups are selected bystudents themselves based on their interest area for the project. To understand the context ofthis study, the next section describes a typical class meeting.Daily Routine- Design Thinking Course Students read and complete the

An independent samples t-test found an observable, butnot statistically significant, positive association between LMP participation and GPAs.Emergent themes resulting from a preliminary coding of student interviews pointed to atransition in student behavior and identify as they progressed through the LMP.

However each discipline has its own physicalor software tools, or necessary skills they will use to perform this design and problem solving. The scaleof projects is also highly variable, from small gadgets in mechanical or computer engineering to largedams or global internet networks in civil and electrical engineering. The goal for our university with the“Introduction to Engineering” course was firstly to engage students and secondly to retain students inengineering.

skills have been widely studied withinengineering ethics, often as components of a larger project of ethics enculturation or thedevelopment of moral literacy within a student’s discipline. Yet little is known about whetherand to what extent ethics enculturation is linked to the moral foundations that describe theimplicit values through which individuals orient themselves to problems. In this work-in-progress paper, we report preliminary findings regarding the extent to which members ofengineering subdisciplines at one large research university share moral foundations. In fall 2018,the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ), a validated survey instrument, was administered tostakeholders across engineering subdisciplines. The survey of faculty

The CAS promotes theunderstanding and appreciation of aquatic sciences and provides outreach programs for a largepopulation of students in Camden, NJ and surrounding communities [1]. The partnership willallow the Algae Grows the Future project to expand its reach and will provide material for CASto implement. The theme of algae was selected because of the wide range of applications ofalgae, ease of growth and maintenance, and accessibility to any classroom.
