prior knowledge, from a variety of appropriate resources. All the above-mentioned bullet points indicate self-directed learning as a powerful tool that leads to students becoming responsible learners over the semester, while reducing the dependance on the expected instructions from the instructors. B. Adopting new assessment techniques The evaluation techniques have a major influence on the student’s learning strategies. The assessment techniques should be designed in a way that would encourage students to remain focused in their learning process and feel the enthusiasm and joy to continue learning in the hope of a better grade. There should be several stages of grading throughout the semester for the application-based

B.S. work was in mass transfer and distillation. After three years working in industry, Prof. Brigham received his Ph.D. in 2006. His thesis work was focused on the interplay of the human commensal organism/opportunistic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis with the mammalian host. Specifically, he examined sugar utilization and how it affects the commensal and pathogenic lifestyles of B. fragilis. Prof. Brigham then moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral scholar and later a Research Scientist. It was during this time that he developed a passion for bioman- ufacturing, fermentation and bioprocess engineering. He examined the industrially relevant bacterium Ralstonia eutropha (now known as

-on projects typicallyoffered in GNEG 1121/1121H were put on hold and Excel assignments that originally wasplanned for later in the semester were shifted to replace them. When it was clear that studentswould not be returning to the classroom, additional Excel topics on data analysis were deployedto replace the hands-on projects and the exam was given remotely through Blackboard.Fall 2020, we were able to rearrange our classroom to fit nearly half of a full-size section. GNEG1111/1111H courses were delivered in a hybrid manner, in which students were divided intogroups A and B. Group A could physically attend on the first day of class (Monday or Tuesday),group B could attend on the second day of class (Wednesday or Thursday), and students

described as the historical “parent” of structural equation modeling (SEM) [17]. It was developed by biometrician Sewall Wright, who first used it to quantify the contributions of genetics vs. the environment on the coloring of guinea pigs. Path analysis was originally conducted as a series of multiple regression statistical analyses used to estimate direct and indirect connections between variables. As a statistical method, path analysis allows the simultaneous comparison of both direct and indirect effects of multiple variables. One strength of this technique is that it forces researchers to consider the implications of a set of causal assumptions, theorizing the “A,B,C’s” of somewhat messy causal relationships in the

semester, it is often difficult to prioritize personal time and space for thinking about andreflecting on new academic experiences. Yet this is a critical phase for students to build afoundation from their first-year courses and capitalize on opportunities to discover and practicehow to succeed in engineering.Reflection in engineering education has been underutilized and is often neglected. However,recent growth in reflective activities for engineering courses [1] has led to improvedunderstanding of pedagogical approaches utilized in reflective practices [2]. Reflectionencourages students to make meaning of their learning experiences and to consider future actionsthat are grounded in those experiences. Like other skills, one must practice
