The assignments and exercises involve real world challenges in (a)improving life in a large refugee camp in the Middle East and (b) designing ways to monitorcoastal changes driven by climate change, the two exercises being linked through use of aninexpensive Arduino-based device with integrated sensors for projects easily adaptable to remotelearning needs (as required by COVID 19 restrictions). These activities are designed to meetcourse learning objectives in engineering problem solving and value sensitive design

Towards that end, the followingactivities were planned and implemented: a) informal social gathering for students to interactwith faculty members; b) workshop for on-campus resources to improve student success; c)workshop for time management, stress relief, and exam preparations; d) financial planning(student scholarship, assistantship, grants and loans) and on-campus employment workshop; ande) forum for culturally diverse faculty, industry professionals to share their experiences. Theanticipated outcome of STIC activities is better student rapport, increase in student persistenceand perseverance, increased motivation to pursue STEM learning, increased awareness ofresources, and enhanced situation

However, its placementis strictly constrained by the partnership of two universities operating on differentacademic calendars. This year, due to the short notice between grant notification andprogram startup, the in-country phase was a compromise between the universities andNGO. However, for Michigan Tech, May would be a better month, as it would allowstudents participants to enroll in Track B summer classes or pursue a June-Augustsummer internship. July would result in similar summer fragmentation as June.

Each studentis issued a handheld responder that looks like a television remote-control device. The facultymember can pose a multiple-choice question to the class during a lecture, and each student inreturn presses a button corresponding to their answer to the question. Using a classroomcomputer or laptop hooked up to a projector, the CPS registers all the responses to the question,calculates class data, and then projects it onto the screen. Typically, this can be conveyed in theform of a bar chart showing the number of responses to answer A, B, C, or

the 32 plots shown in Figures 1-4 have a negative skewness value. Acrossall of the plots in Figures 1-4, the average skewness value is -0.65. The skew of the distributionscan also be observed by comparing the mean and median values in Tables 2-5. In most cases, themedian values are larger than the mean values. Because of this, the data cannot be assumed tofollow a normal distribution, and thus standard parametric tests (e.g. t-tests) are not valid tests fordetecting statistically significant differences between the distributions. In the following section,the non-parametric statistical methods for comparing the distributions will be described. a. b

This study analyzes the differences in outcomesbetween the two camp formats. Participants completed a pre- and post-survey to gaugeexcitement, interest, and understanding in engineering. The survey results demonstrate thatvirtual camps were as effective as the same camps taught in person.

Also, as the study is not having anypre-post comparison, it is a non-experimental design and correlation study design best fits thepurpose. As per the literature, the teaching and learning environment has a significant impact onstudents’ behavior, academic success and learning quality [16], [17]. And because of this, in ourstudy, we measured the teaching learning environment from the transition to online (mid-semester) to the end of the semester based on three constructs: a) perceived student learning as ameasure of academic success b) social presence as a measure of student engagement in an onlineenvironment and c) learner satisfaction as a measure of learning experience
