Allquestions were constructed with the following null hypothesis in mindto minimize bias: 11 Despite budget cuts and rising enrollments, the quality of undergraduate education in the College of Engineering has not significantly changed. 11The surveys were designed to take between ten and fifteen minutes toadminister. Nearly identical questions were asked of the threerespondent groups. No open-ended questions were asked, and allresponses were designed to be numerically coded for data analysisusing the computer.

Accountability- Each student’s role and performance is to be assessed, and the results are those of the group (and for the group). Keeping track of the contribution and knowledge gained by each member could be monitored, as well, by either testing each and every student in the group, or by randomly selecting a group member (or members) to be tested, and thus proxy for the group. Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing

The high school teachers talk about what they ve been doing and what theyneed. The committee looks to each other to support the what that is needed and to offer ideasfor improving the curriculum. Additionally, the committee discusses and directly sponsorsactivities strongly in the upper grades (seven of which are described below) and is working todevelop ways in which to reach the rest of the K-14 spectrum.First (11th 12th grade): Perhaps the crowning jewel of the advisory committee has been the$100,000 Business and Engineering Laboratory that was completed during the summer of

Addressing logistics: Around half of the universities used the web pages to address logistics related information. These included resources for faculty and students alike on which buildings were still open, recommendations for use of laboratory spaces, booking of meeting rooms and conference rooms and guidelines for gathering indoors. 3. Promoting wellness - both physical and mental: Around a third of the universities used the web pages to promote wellness, both physical and mental. Some universities provided links to indoor exercises, while others promoted mindfulness and encouraged mental wellbeing. 4. Showcasing
learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Program for Managing Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Engineering Education ABSTRACTUnmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are an increasingly important aspect of technology. As aresult, they have become a very important tool in engineering education for a variety ofdisciplines. While many physical laboratories or training aids have regulatory and administrativerequirements, the considerations related to UAS are multifaceted and include Federal AviationRegulations, airspace requirements, and privacy considerations. Furthermore, UAS pose aphysical hazard that must be taken into account to protect students, staff, faculty, and
than commuting or forother situations. Regardless of the reason, online classes had been steadily gaining popularitydue to their added benefits and ease of attendance. Additionally, with most students now readilyable to use computers from a young age, the digital and distance courses are easily acceptedby most rising university students. While there are many classes that do lend themselves easilyto an online format, laboratories, design courses, or lab-style courses are at a distinctdisadvantage. Most lab classes require students to be in-person to conduct experiments, or inthe case of engineering labs, the students would be required to analyze or build something toprove an engineering principle. Historically, these classes do not easily
. This percentage for engineering courses was mere 0.86%. This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”. A little over half ofall students who took at least one online course took some face-to-face courses at the sameinstitution

A laboratory portion of the coursepreviously contributed to the course grade, but a curriculum change moved the laboratorycomponent into a separate course during the year concept maps were incorporated. Differenttypes of assessments were used at the two institutions in this study. No final exam was given inthe course at IUPUC. Instead, a standards-based approach to grading was used, with quizzes overspecific topics. Quizzes were graded “Pass” or “No Pass” based on specifications determined bythe instructor [19]. Students could re-attempt quizzes. The traditional course offering had 15students enrolled in the previous academic year. Both courses

The Dutch BѐtaMentality [8] project discoveredfour profiles related to adolescents and technology: High Techs, Career Techs, SociallyMinded Generalists, and Non Techs. High Techs enjoy both science and technology. Theyare hands-on people who like practical examples and laboratory work. High Techs like tounderstand how things work and often have technology-related hobbies. Slightly less thanforty percent of the boys and a quarter of the girls fall into this category. Career Techs enjoytechnology as long as it works, but are not

Collaborative, community-based projects to improve thebuilt environment can serve as a laboratory for student engagement, providing valuableexperience in a practical, real-world setting. The UAB Civil Engineering department has made aparticular effort to involve undergraduate and graduate engineering students in community-basedinitiatives with the goal of enhancing engineering education while improving the communitiessurrounding the university.Such efforts need not be ad hoc. Because of the successful involvement of engineering studentsin community-based initiatives, the UAB Civil Engineering department has developed a 3-credithour elective course where students can be part of this

university usually did not follow theseguidelines although they believed writing to be an important tool for student to learn andunderstand.Universities and colleges have implemented various forms of writing for engineers over theyears; however, the implementations have mainly been at the course level and not an overallcurriculum change [4]. The need to assess the ABET outcome communicating with a broadaudience is usually the main driver of these changes with programs assessing how well thestudents communicate within the criteria set for the respective assignments. This means that thewriting is usually limited to laboratory write-ups, small class project reports, and a capstonepaper (usually written as a team). In addition, most programs offer no
