Online Teaching in an Engineering Class
Now that the COVID-19 Hackathon in my engineering courses is coming to a close, I have been searching for activities that are grounded in engineering, go beyond watching videos, and can be done online.
After spending a few days researching, below are three resources that I am confident will simultaneously engage students, but also provide some "hands-on" experience. I really empathize with struggles teachers in classes, such as mine that are fully project-based, are dealing with during this time of emergency distance learning.
- Teachable Machine: Activity that allows students to train their own Neural Networks.
- Neural Network Playground: Interactive simulation that helps students understand Neural Networks.
- TinkerCad Circuits: Interactive Arduino Uno circuit simulator
- OnShape: High-end online CAD software with excellent integrated tutorials.
- PhET: HTML5 STEM simulations.
