In thiscourse, all lectures/presentations were pre-recorded with voice over PowerPoint presentations, asvideo with audio (or MP4), and were available to the students from day 1 of this summer offering.This course has a required textbook that its chapters are covered during the semester. ME512 wasalso used asynchronously online but as a medium to exchange course information and documents,e.g. syllabus and handouts or written notes or external class material not covered by the requiredtextbook, as well as homework information. Both online presences utilized an

Faculty hope that, by the end of course,students experience a similar level of comfort with other disciplines, how to communicate with peoplefrom different academic backgrounds, how to think critically about subjects not “in their wheelhouse,”and employ concepts and terms introduced during the course.Near the beginning of the semester, faculty felt greater urgency to finish the course design,assignments, syllabus, et cetera, similar to what students experience near the end of their academicterms. I found this ironic and amusing. Proceedings of the 2025 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX Copyright

These guides employ step-by-step textual instructionswith red annotation boxes to clearly illustrate software procedures. Hearing-impaired studentsreceive these customized materials in advance for preview, ensuring they can follow along duringclass.Unlike generic software tutorial videos and instructions available online, our teaching materialsare tailored based on the course syllabus and the specific needs of hearing-impaired students,making them more targeted for course learning. This customized approach not only saveshearing-impaired students significant

It is further proposed that educators in otherengineering fields may modify what was presented here, and deploy that in their respectiveclasses. In both cases, the chance of attaining additional educational benefits is highly probable.References:[1] K. Rix, “How Undergraduates Benefit From Doing Research,” US News, Sept. 27, 2023. [Online].
