For many of the instructors, this was their first experience teaching engineering courses virtually. Instructors applied a range of online teaching strategies to assist students in learning better. The purpose of this study was to gather student feedback on different teaching methods and uncover whether or not these approaches were used or were found to be supportive by the students. Our findings can benefit instructors of engineering courses in improving or changing their teaching methods in order to enable students to adjust to remote learning better. The research team administered surveys during the final two weeks in the semester of Spring 2020. One hundred nineteen participants answered a series of closed questions related to the instructors’ teaching strategies across 8 different engineering courses (Table 1). Specifically, based on the question “ What things did your instructor do that was helpful for learning online ,” participants assessed whether instructors’ teaching strategies were helpful or not. The criteria for evaluation were Not Helpful, Slightly Helpful, Somewhat Helpful, Helpful, Very Helpful, and N/A . N/A means the instructor did not use this strategy. Our findings suggested that teaching strategies made students feel supported and indicated that discussion forums, flexible deadlines, and clear expectations were among the helpful. Fan Yu is a doctoral of Information Science and Learning Technologies Fan received her MS in Elementary Education Science and a graduate certificate in Curriculum and Instructions. Fan’s research interests include STEM education and UX design in learning technologies. She concerns about how learning technologies encourage students from underrepresented groups to study and work in STEM fields.","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129184873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ebook is written in the Wolfram language, Mathematica. The purpose of this interactive presentation of communication systems is to bring the material alive through the use of student driven interactive graphics and dynamic performance metric calculations. In-line interactive questions are included to provide the students with rapid feedback regarding their understanding of the material. The ebook was used as the required text in EECS 562 Introduction to Communication Systems at the University of Kansas in the Spring of 2021.

For BPSK and MPSK the link budget concepts are applied to again highlight trade-offs among key system parameters. The students are now prepared to tie together all the concepts they have studied to develop an understanding of the implementation issues associated with WiFi, 4G and 5G cell systems. The ebook concludes with a chapter introducing error control coding, cumulating in defining the coding gain which again can then be factored into link budgets. Below is the table of contents.","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116468596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the question arises, at least in the author’s view, of whether full dependence on computerized tables removes the student further from a basic understanding of what the properties represent and what is a “reasonable” value for a particular property. As has been seen in other courses, the use of computerized thermodynamic property tables seems to lead to a “disconnect” between what the table values represent and the actual numbers obtained. In this extended abstract, observations from 20+ years of teaching thermodynamics using both paper and computerized property tables will be discussed and a possible framework for further investigation of the state question will be set forth. For of this study, the term thermodynamic tables is meant to refer to a computer program available to students in which thermodynamics properties at any virtually any combination of temperature and pressure (or other property combinations) can easily be found simply by typing in the known values. In reality, computerized thermodynamics tables have been in use since the 1960’s as the printed tables used in thermodynamics textbooks from that time forward have been based on a computer solution to a many variable fundamental thermodynamic function. when the author was an undergraduate student taking Thermodynamics I and II, along with the textbook, to obtain a copy of “Steam Tables” by Keenan, Keyes, Hill, and Moore 1 .","PeriodicalId":280607,"journal":{"name":"2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Proceedings","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127913548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our NRT is an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship that trains diverse STEM graduate students to solve the grand challenges of creating sustainable food, energy and water systems in rural communities in semi-arid regions. Incorporating interdisciplinary research, faculty mentoring, developing students’ career pathways, and periodic assessment and continued refinement of these three modalities, which has been designed as part of our NRT, may have a positive impact on diversity and inclusion and might be a model for other graduate STEM programs. To recruit students to the NRT with diverse backgrounds, we used multiple strategies. The most successful recruitment strategy has been connecting NRT faculty and trainees to prospective students.
