Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the frontal in-person learning has been largely replaced by distance and online option. In this undergrade engineering course, two out of the three instructors choose the synchronous teaching sessions with the original class time; and the author offered an asynchronous session for 20% of the students. During the semester, we designed a centralized learning manage system for the asynchronous session. One key ingredient is to create a centralized access point for students to easily access all course materials, which include the course announcements, lecture notes and handouts, topic outlines, embedded lecture recordings, and quizzes, etc. We will discuss the methods to make the lecture recordings more effective. Another effort is placed on promoting student participation to get the timely feedback and dynamically adjust the teaching materials. Since interactive teaching and classroom discussion are not possible in this semester, we utilized the online discussion form embedded in Webtool. We will look at the asynchronous session students’ grades change during the three mid-terms and the final exam, compared with the other two synchronous sessions. The asynchronous session students got a mean grade of 79.27%, 73.34%, 83.11%, and 72.09% for the three mid-term exams and the final exam, while the synchronous session students got a mean grade of 75.71%, 71.91%, 83.09%, and 74.29% respectively. We will also report the students’ early informal feedback about the course difficulty and teaching effectiveness as well as the course evaluation. We conclude that the instructor requires additional effects in making the asynchronous session more effective.","PeriodicalId":328870,"journal":{"name":"2021 Illinois-Indiana Regional Conference Proceedings","volume":"281 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":"125737513","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}

These skills can be improved with training to reduce the well-established gender difference in these skills in college-age students. This work in progress describes a preliminary analysis of data acquired regarding spatial skills on students in a college of engineering at a large, public university. Admitted freshmen students were given a standard test of spatial visualization using mental rotations. Students who were identified as having weak spatial skills compared to their peers were advised to take a half-semester visualization training course. The gender trends from the visualization assessment fit with past data, and additional race and ethnicity trends in the data are presented. Male students who are not in underrepresented minority groups generally performed the best on the assessment. The effectiveness of the spatial visualization training course was determined by giving those students the same assessment again that all of the students took initially. Overall, the course provided significant gains in spatial visualization skills to the students, consistent with past results with similar courses. This course was offered entirely online without the standard use of pencil and paper sketching. Upon closer investigation of the data, male students improved more than female students did. Further study is needed to determine if these results are representative of typical trends and how the training could be modified to result in more equitable outcomes for all the students.","PeriodicalId":328870,"journal":{"name":"2021 Illinois-Indiana Regional Conference Proceedings","volume":"55 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":"129605132","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 BUV is a small utility vehicle that is designed for and used in developing countries across the world, providing an inexpensive means of transportation that can be used in many application venues, including agricultural, medical, and construction. The student team utilized a Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) project framework called DesignSpine. This framework focuses on capturing the voice of the customer that is a part of DFSS and using DFSS tools to create a user-focused design. Throughout this process, the team has been able to deepen their understanding of the DesignSpine process and our understanding and application of Design for Six Sigma tools towards quality design by applying them to the development of the aggregate unloader system. The BUV Aggregate Unloader System will provide a safe method of unloading aggregate from the bed of the BUV that will allow the user to transport and dispense more material. The attachment will not raise the vehicle's center of gravity when compared to the alternative dump bed modifications that current users are creating. The client and users were interviewed to determine the requirements and constraints for our design alternatives.

There are numerous and significant challenges that underlie the assessment of technical graduate programs. Such challenges include the number of core courses taken by every graduate student, which is generally small, and the timeframe over which those courses are taken, which is normally three to four semesters. Such a program design precludes the outcome assessment typically associated with technical accredited programs at the undergraduate level. The approach taken at one Midwestern university is to evaluate the program at three levels. At the graduate school level, each student’s graduate committee assesses that student on achievement in five categories of competence. In addition, the students are asked to self-assess their individual level of achievement when nearing graduation. These results are summarized at the program level. A third level is evidence-based. Data from courses is used in the assessment of competencies. The overarching structure is based on the graduate school learning competencies that were developed at the university level and are common to all graduate programs. Each department may then amplify the basic competencies to include outcomes specific to its programs. The level of achievement in each of the competencies is summarized in a department-level report. This report is reviewed with the graduate faculty and with the program’s Industry Advisory Board to solicit inputs and suggestions for improvement. A culture of continuous improvement is facilitated through documentation of program improvement suggestions and disposition. This paper describes this structured approach that has been developed to facilitate graduate program assessment.","PeriodicalId":328870,"journal":{"name":"2021 Illinois-Indiana Regional Conference Proceedings","volume":"2 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":"133532891","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}
