site characterization and the design and interpretation of idealized soil-profiles is acritical part of geotechnical engineering practice. In this classroom experience, students completeevery aspect of a geotechnical site characterization except for soils testing (typically wellcovered by a geotechnical lab course). Each student group is given a project site: layers ofcolored PlayDoh in a clear airtight box. Students then walk through the stages of sitecharacterization: background and web soil survey, field reconnaissance, boring layout, fieldexplorations, fence diagrams and an idealized soil profile.

push to transition torenewable energy. The original purpose of this project was to develop a new form of renewableenergy. More specifically, our team saw how much opportunity lies in all the instances of day-to-day life where people expend mechanical energy that is not capitalized on. We decided to focuson the movement of revolving doors. The revolving door was first patented in 1888 by Theophilus Van Kannel as a “Storm-DoorStructure” based on the earlier ideas of German inventor H. Bockhacker [1]. As the United Statesbegan to industrialize and skyscrapers were built, the revolving door became more prominent.Revolving doors are already sustainable pieces of technology. The mainly airtight design of therevolving door minimized temperature

Since remotelearning is gaining in popularity, and another pandemic could occur at any time, the resultsof this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge about the behavior of studentteams under alternative conditions, such as totally online operation.BackgroundThe context for this study was a first-year project-based engineering course focused primarilyon design and teamwork. Students work in teams on a semester-long project with multipledeliverables, including prototypes, CAD models, progress reports and presentations. The sameinstructor delivered the same project theme, structure, and major assignments for both the onlineand in-person offerings of the course.Team
studyAbstractAs a highly interdisciplinary industry, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) requireeffective and seamless collaboration to deliver projects timely and with high quality. To betterprepare students with the demanding cooperative skill, collaborative learning has always been anintegral part of the education of undergraduate students. Augmented reality (AR) technology hasmatured rapidly in recent years and has been widely used in various fields such as medical,manufacturing, entertainment, and education. The seamless combination of the real world andvirtual environment is one of the most important characteristics of AR technology [1]. In thisstudy, we utilized this characteristic to develop a multi-user design application in

Specifically, for first year engineeringstudents, an IoT lab module [3] is developed in a first year introductory C++ programmingcourse.

For the flipped style students were given the option to i) watchlecture content prior to scheduled course times and use in-class time for instructorsupport on assignments/labs, ii) attend the scheduled course times and watch the videolectures (with option to ask questions of the instructor), or iii) watch the lecture contenton their own time and attend lectures only when they had further questions. The intentwas to provide students the flexibility to engage with the course in the style that best metFigure 2: LiquidPlanner project management tool
over 6 years. The students would attend a differentexperience every weekend and conclude the yearly experience with a capstone project. Ouruniversity partnered with RBTV for one weekend workshop experience. The program wasintended to be an in-person event but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this program wasconducted synchronously through Zoom virtual meetings. Our university is well known for“hands-on” learning, and we decided to keep the experience hands-on even if it had to be virtual.Students participated in STEM-related hands-on projects, connecting them to real lifeapplications and boosting students' interests in different STEM disciplines. The programrepresents part of our university’s ongoing efforts to interest young women in STEM.The
courses provide some support and education formore advanced usage, those courses rely heavily on the first-year engineering curriculum tohandle that initial introduction of MATLAB and instruction in its general use. This is sufficientfor some students but very challenging for others. This project hopes to provide some relief byintroducing a more situated learning experience in their initial MATLAB instruction.Typical MATLAB curriculum at the introductory level focuses on simple exercises on theprogramming concepts with simple concepts or using randomly generated information. Eventhough MathWorks' various promotional materials focus on its use as a support tool in controlsystems, robotics, deep-learning, and more, their help documentation
