Lemons To Lemonade: Refining An Active Learning Course For Delivery During A Pandemic, Jeremy Straub Oct 2020

Lemons To Lemonade: Refining An Active Learning Course For Delivery During A Pandemic, Jeremy Straub

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Poster Presentations

The Spring semester of 2020 was a time of unanticipated and unprecedented rapid change for higher education in the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic struck the United States midway through the semester forcing colleges and universities to rapidly take courses online with minimal time to prepare. North Dakota was, comparatively, fortunate in that the transition occurred over spring break; however, initially the online period was only supposed to last for two weeks. This poster presents the process that was used to rapidly change an active learning course, which was designed for in person delivery, over to being held entirely online.

A Triz-Based Tool For Remanufacturing Using Additive Manufacturing: Re-Am-Triz, Edward Rojas, Eric Exner, Kundan Paudyal, Omar Al-Araidah, Gul Okudan Kremer Oct 2020

A Triz-Based Tool For Remanufacturing Using Additive Manufacturing: Re-Am-Triz, Edward Rojas, Eric Exner, Kundan Paudyal, Omar Al-Araidah, Gul Okudan Kremer

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Poster Presentations

Remanufacturing is a process of returning a used product to at least the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) performance specification from the customers’ perspective and giving the resultant product a warranty that is at least equal to that of a newly manufactured equivalent. Even though there are many benefits of remanufacturing, there are barriers when it comes to its implementation. There can arise contradictions when dealing with different products, or in different steps during the remanufacturing process. A method to solve contradictions like those is TRIZ, which is a problem-solving method that can resolve technical contradictions.

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Publications

A hybrid Mechanics of Materials course consisting of recorded lecture videos and face-to-face class meetings was developed. Initial offerings of the hybrid course resulted in a drop in average student performance by – 0.18 grade points as well as a reduction in the student pass rate of 3%. Over time, average student performance in the course improved; however, the student pass rate remained relatively constant. A number of ad hoc internal studies by the hybrid course instructors were conducted to attempt to determine the factors contributing to the reduction in the student pass rate. A test over prerequisite Statics and …

Integrating Hybrid-Flexible Course Delivery With General Education Computer Science Courses, Benjamin Bernard, Jeremy Straub Oct 2020

Integrating Hybrid-Flexible Course Delivery With General Education Computer Science Courses, Benjamin Bernard, Jeremy Straub

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Poster Presentations

The Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) course delivery format was developed at San Francisco State University to make SDSU’s instructional technologies master’s degree program accessible to working adults. Under the HyFlex model, instructors build content for both a fully online course and for a traditional ‘face-to-face’ classroom environment. Both have the same learning outcomes for each week, so that students can move between online and in-person participation in the course seamlessly. This poster covers the adaptation of CSCI 159, Computer Science Problem Solving, to the HyFlex model. The implementation of this course differs from the model in that it was entirely online but …

Building Student Persistence With The Use Of Real-Time Feedback On Design Problems, John A. Mirth Oct 2020

Building Student Persistence With The Use Of Real-Time Feedback On Design Problems, John A. Mirth

ASEE North Midwest Section Annual Conference 2020 Publications

Background: This paper examines the use of a real-time feedback document to assist students in navigating design problems. The design problems are multi-step challenges that culminate in design specifications for a small system. Each problem can be solved using a predictable sequence of calculations. Students customize their specific problem by inserting their own performance parameters to develop a solution that is unique for each student.
Purpose: Two challenges associated with design problems are those of providing effective feedback to students and of grading final submissions that are unique to each student. The research described proposes the use of a structured …
