The learning goals we set for the new program differ fromthe prior outcome goals. Hence we will need to treat Before/After comparisons very carefully. Inthe long story, our next large task is to undertake a longitudinal study through engineering degreeprograms to determine the effect our enhanced FYEP is having on the BS degree graduates ofMichigan Tech.References[1] S.

Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Programs by NumberA query of ABET accredited civil and environmental engineering undergraduate programs as of2019 was conducted. It shows that there are at least 252 accredited civil engineering programsand 74 accredited environmental engineering programs in the USA. Many civil engineeringprograms have been continuously accredited since 1936 (especially for traditional land-grantinstitutions and older private universities) when ABET began accreditation for engineeringprograms. The oldest accredited environmental engineering program dates to 1966 at RensselaerPolytechnic Institute in New York. The majority of accredited environmental engineeringprograms have occurred since the 1990’s, 68 of the 74 universities (94

, consider the following instruction in ARM assembler:subs r0, r2, #3The purpose of the above instruction is to subtract the number 3 from register r2, storing theresult in register r0. Since that is the main point of the instruction, students usually can learn thatmuch. However, there are actually three things happening during the one instruction:1. Subtraction of the value.2. The CPU must move on to read the next instruction3. The CPU compares the result against zero because the operation has an s appended (set flags)The fact that an instruction has one primary function, and two more ancillary actions isintrinsically difficult. Many students simply miss one or both of the ancillary actions, despitehaving heard the professor review this multiple

theory, this identity drives future activity.In Finklestein (2008)’s study, motive becomes unimportant in sustaining volunteerism once a volunteerrole identity forms. It is also important to note that motivations can change, and it may not always reflecttheir initial motive and reasons for staying. Therefore, organizations should focus on recruitment andretaining volunteers that attract a diverse pool of individuals.Organizations will be able to recruit from a larger pool of individuals by ensuring that the task satisfiesthe diverse functions of the volunteers’ needs. Researchers reveal that if volunteer recruits can find taskswith benefits that match their personal motives, their volunteering efforts will result in higher satisfactionand

everyone works with the systems, specially wiring the components. A betteroption is that each student wires their own circuit and just share the instruments.3. Include educational platforms (Blackboard, Moodle) as an essential part of the course to provideall the tools, content, and grades to deliver the course support. This provides a consistent structuredset of materials and instructions. An additional benefit is that students that might not get enoughexperience during the regular lab session, will have access to asynchronous online materials.4. Ensure that the University is able to provide assistance to students to acquire the instrumentationand reduce logistic problems with components.References[1] S.

smallgatherings of socially distanced students, lab courses at Missouri S&T were allowed to be inperson with very small groups. These caps did not accommodate all students in many cases.Thus, other approaches were required. For the Fall, the faculty tried a tight schedule of teamsboth inside and outside of the designated lab time. Social distancing guidelines were maintained,but the faculty and TAs were overworked.

These andother topics will be explored as we delve into the new (yet old) environment of online learningduring Covid.BackgroundThroughout the early 2000’s, education over the internet was debated. Some felt it would be atransformative power that would equalize education across time, space, gender, income andnation. Others felt that nothing could take the place of in-person education and anything elsewas inferior. Some universities jumped on the MOOC bandwagon (Massive Open OnlineCourses). Others saw no merit in offering massive courses for little or no credit to multitudes ofpeople for free.There were also many interpretations of online learning throughout the early 2000’s.
