Effects of Online Blogging on Student Participation, Quality and the Achievement of Course Outcomes in a Freshman Engineering CourseAbstract:Online communication is gaining a rising presence in higher education. The use of the Internethas stimulated educators to employ tools like Second Life, Facebook and even blogging in theirteaching practices. This impulse to adopt new technologies also imposes a need to investigate theeffects of using such tools on education itself.In order to explore the use of online blogging specifically, five questions were queried. Over onehalf of a semester, students in four sections of an introductory engineering course participated inblogging as a percentage of their overall grade

The analysis aimed toidentify potential department-specific responses to the integration and perception of GAI ineducational practices. Focusing on the departments that had the first three highest numbers oftotal responses, participants from Mechanical Engineering recognized the influence of GAI withalmost 32%. Electrical Engineering exhibited that 29% of faculty members indicated an impacton their thinking on assessment practices. Computer Science, a discipline inherently intertwinedwith technological advancements, showed around 33% of faculty members acknowledging theimpact of GAI.Table 3. The number of the participants

As such, it isimportant that undergraduate engineering programs prepare students to work with others in anonline setting since the prevalence of virtual teams within the workforce continues to grow.Additionally, it has been found that online teamwork can help students work out of their comfortzone, develop group cohesiveness, and better students’ negotiation skills [7]. However, there arealso various obstacles and challenges students face when working on projects virtually.

Hence there will be a decrease in physical, manual and basic cognitive skills andincreased demand in technological and social skills in Industry.With the increase in demand for social skills, the requirement of complex collaboration andeffective teamwork will further increase with the expansion of technological advancement inengineering workplaces shifting to 4IR. However, industry and academia have not agreed onwhat important teamwork aspects are necessary to comprehend the changes in Industry 4.0.There are several initiatives taken by engineering researchers to identify the important teamworkattributes required
