  Online Versus In Person Student Learning Outcomes Todd Easton Mechanical Engineering University of Utah todd.easton@utah.eduAbstractDue to the Covid-19 pandemic, many undergraduate students were forced to take courses onlineinstead of in person. This paper discusses the student learning outcomes of some courses that havesections with both an online and in person sections. A junior level industrial engineering courseshowed that the in person students performed significantly better, statistically speaking. Incontrast, a graduate course in an online graduate program had

More than 95% of mobile phones, 90% of hard drive controllers, 40% digital TVs andset-top boxes, 15% microcontrollers, and 20% mobile computers are using the ARM processors.To keep up with the embedded industry change, we have updated the contents of ourmicrocontroller courses with the goal to keep up with the technology change and make ourgraduates more marketable. We have taught the ARM Cortext-M4 MCU in our secondmicrocontroller course and plan to also teach the simpler version of the ARM Cortex-M MCU inour first microcontroller course.Three major issues must be addressed in order to teach a new microcontroller. First, we need tochoose an appropriate Cortex-M4 demo board for students to perform laboratory experimentsand design

focusing more on textbook theories than onindustry professional skills. This paper studies the different approaches in developing students’professional skills in the classroom by working together with engineering firms. It is believedthat such a study can provide a vision for engineering management education that can betterprovide for students in the industry. These approaches can be applied to many similarengineering management programs.IntroductionConstruction has become a profession from the traditional civil engineering. In this industry, allnew hires are still expected to have the fundamentals of engineering theory and knowledge;however, it requires much less designing and computing capacity. Instead, it requires morehands-on professional

Each of these student groups have their own separate missions,activities, leaders, and needs. For example, each group has a regional or national conference forstudents or a need to travel in their service role. Inevitably, each group will be visiting thedepartment head or Dean to ask for financial support for their travel and other activities.

equations. The same control system can bestable or unstable depending on the input parameters into the system. Stability or lack of stabilityof a control system can theoretically be determined by solving the control system differentialequation(s). The differential equation(s) can be solved numerically. A numerical solution of adifferential equation produces numbers that can be plotted but not an expression. The differentialequations can also be solved by classical differential equation techniques. The classicaldifferential equation solution techniques can be supplemented by using Laplace Transform andusing the MATLAB software to expedite the Laplace Transform formulations. Damping level(s)in a vibrating system greatly influence the stability level
