Howeverthese students had a wide range of learning style scores and a slight majority were globallearners. Most students had scores that were mildly global or sequential. As shown inFigure 1, the distribution on the sequential/global scale follows the normal distribution.This was not an expected outcome since

To fill these gaps, this research focuses on credit-bearing community collegetechnology internships. Credit-bearing internships are highly structured WBL experiencesoffered by community colleges as a component of degree completion. Internships are designedto meet educational requirements established by the community college and are supervised by afaculty member in a credit-bearing course. They may be required for graduation or be anelective, be paid or unpaid, and typically mandate that students have earned enough creditstowards the degree and a high enough GPA to participate. We focus on credit-bearinginternships since non-credit

cover antenna theory, RF signal propagation modeling, and communication systems which are fundamental in upper-division EE/EET curriculum. The system renders several promising features: portable, low-cost, simple, and compact in size, to name a few. In this paper, we first introduce the components and the mechanism of the RF measurement system. We then present a laboratory exercise that designed for an antenna radiation pattern study using the developed system. Detailed lab procedures and results collected from a recent upper-division communication systems course in an EET program are provided. The lab results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed system. Additional assessment data from students’ feedback further

well aware of these novel technologies, we need to update our curriculum andcourse design. In this paper, I present some laboratories (labs) that the students conducted as apart of a course project in the ubiquitous computing class. This course is an elective forundergraduate Computer and Information Sciences or Information technology students. Thestudents who take this course are either juniors or seniors. Covid-19 has taught us how remoteteaching is useful to ensure proper education during the time of the pandemic. This project aimsto design different lab modules that the students can conduct without purchasing hardware.

This can be achieved by development of new and different modulescustomized to provide the applications exposure central to the

Toincrease creative practice, we focus on identifying and addressing uncertainty avoidancebehaviors, which are often high in engineering students,8 and using design thinking strategies tosupport students’ ability to continue working throughout the loosely structured curriculum. Inthese settings, it is critical to provide students with the permission they need to exploreambiguous spaces, and to offer support and guidance on how to overcome perceived failure9. Asinstructors in our own interdisciplinary team, we used an auto-ethnographic practice to examineour own
build a supportive relationship. They are not questioning your knowledge or authority, but rather seeking information and guidance 3. It is beneficial to faculty advisor to understand as much as possible about all programs and the department as a whole. Faculty advisor also should be knowledgeable about courses, curriculum, policies, strategies, and an in-house procedure. They should also be aware of any changes to the program and relay that information to students as soon as possible.ConclusionEffective academic advising is crucial to the long term success of students in Engineering andEngineering Technology disciplines. The academic advisor is the liaison or link between thestudents and the university. It is

difficulties associated withassessment include the following.• Deciding what to assess: Within engineering it can be difficult to determine what exactly students should be accountable for knowing and being able to do. For example, in an engineering design class, do we want to assess students’ knowledge of the steps of a particular method, their ability to evaluate how well a method was applied, their ability to execute the method, and/or their ability to integrate the results of the method into an emerging designed artifact.• Deciding how to assess: Given an assessment goal, another problem is developing an instrument that is capable of capturing levels of knowledge relative to the goal. A frequent problem with assessment is

equations of motion for con-servative systems. This formulation of dynamics is typically reserved for courses in which it canbe derived, which students encounter in their senior years at the earliest. However, while diffi-cult to derive, Lagrange’s equations are easy to use for conservative systems, even for sophomorestudents. They perform the functions of uniting energy methods with Newton’s second law andintroduce students to the concept of equations of motion that will be used consistently in juniordynamic systems.

engineerswho are educated in traditional technical courses. Vast numbers of articles and books havesuggested ways to ensure that at least the outward look of a writer's effort conforms to acceptablenorms. Classes are required, papers are assigned, some comments are voiced; but in so many casesthe retention of communication skill is not assured and does not become an integral part of theengineer's existence. Engineers need to understand the bond between their technical knowledge andtheir communication skills. This bond must be accomplished in the most efficient amount of time sothat it creates a lasting awareness of technical communication and its importance in every engineer'scareer. This is especially important in an engineer's education where time
