versions of the same topic multiple times until they pass, or “master”, the topic, corresponding to “A” quality work. Learning cycles therefore occur as students repeat the same topics, and their progress is assessed by passing rates and by comparing evolving responses to the same test topics. • Concept questions that elicit qualitative responses and written explanations are deployed with each topic. The learning cycle here consists when students respond to a ConcepTest accessed via the Concept Warehouse1, typically before class, observe the range of answers and comments from other students, receive feedback and/or participate in a peer discussion, and re-attempt

We then discuss the implications of our findings, highlighting howHC may be unavoidable but could be productively repurposed in more holistic curriculumreform that

This course was theonly chemical engineering course the students took during the freshman year. While teaching the first semester sophomore Material and Energy Balance course between2009 and 2012, students often remarked that the freshman class was boring and that they still didnot understand what chemical engineers did. Based on this feedback
; for instance, Grove & Wasserman [14] examined the trajectories of college students’ GPA,while similar studies focused on undocumented youth [14] or compared students with ADHD and theirneurotypical peers [15]. These cases, however, include little or no mention of major or concentration, andso new work is needed to study GPA in the engineering context. In engineering education, many studiesthat propose a longitudinal approach to GPA focus more on between-subjects variables or treat a singlemeasure of GPA as an outcome. For instance, Durik et al. [16] and Bernold et al. [17] both include GPAas outcome variables, but they focus on students’ two-year cumulative GPA in time-delayed analysesrather than examine GPA across multiple time points

development of these competencies at the college level. The student-centered pedagogy is an increasing trend in the STEM disciplines [14]. Itutilizes the approaches like active learning, collaborative learning, and project/problem-basedlearning, which require students to work in teams and extensively communicate with peers tocomplete assignments. While the extensive teamwork experience should create high proficiencyin student professional communication and collaboration skills, the primary focus of theassignments and the instructional support still remains on the core technical knowledge and skillsand often lacks direct instructor’s interventions with respect to the communication andcollaboration skills [14], [15]. However, the best results

Several themes were apparent in the evaluation including anappreciation for learning how grade-level science themes can provide meaningful context formathematics instruction and how peer-observation and mentoring opportunities are imperativefor teachers of all levels of experience. Participating teachers had significant gains in bothleadership assessments (total gain of 18.8%, p<0.05) and Algebra content post-tests (gain of13%, p<0.05) using the Diagnostic Mathematics Assessments for Middle School Teachers(DTAMS).

learning [8,27].Second, Kafi highlights that the constructionist learning culture is collaborative, allowingcommunity members to introduce each other to new activities and share their expertise [6].Students are encouraged to learn with other students as well as with other groups or staff [36].Collaborative learning is strongly reflected in the maker-movement, which promotes a culture inwhich peer-to-peer learning is encouraged, and all members of the community are expected tocontribute [15].Finally, the constructionist learning culture shifts focus from knowledge to knowing,emphasizing the process of learning, rather than the specific knowledge. “[It] reminds us that learning, especially today, is much less about acquiring information or

Thisapproach also promotes collaborations among peers and offers improved accessibility to studentswith disabilities [7]. Unlimited access to resources in the remote laboratory context could havefar reaching consequences for education and can present a paradigm that promotes student-centric environments and autonomy that contributes to motivation [8].

This courseinstructs students on how to write reports and give oral presentations about their projects. Bothcourses use undergraduate course assistants, who have been through the 1st-year program, toassist the instructors. Engineering students choose from one of five engineering disciplines atBinghamton University, when they declare their major at the end of the fall semester.A two-question survey was given to the 1st-year engineering students in the first week of class inthe fall semester. Two multiple choice questions were asked: (1) currently, what engineeringmajor do you intend to declare in December
" ismotivated by a "strategic search for meaning" [11], [12].Approaches to learning are often manifested in the practice of learning strategies, which arebehaviors that students use for studying and learning course material, such as memorizing, re-writing course notes, planning and organizing materials, questioning self and others, andreflection [13]–[15].When students describe their approaches to learning and related strategies, they are answeringthese two questions [11]: What do I want to get out of this? (i.e., the product of study) How do I get there? (i.e., the process of studying)The former question is task-, motive-, and goal-oriented, while the process-focused questioninvolves choices of learning approaches and strategies in view of
two thirds or more of the instances ofeach feature in the teacher’s discussion transcript, they also associated non-examples with eachfeature (i.e., “over-coding” for the feature). Most especially, participants over-coded instancesfor Feature 1, linking many quotes to this feature even though the quotes did not encouragestudents to engage other teams about their designs; this finding was also evident in thesynchronous discussion. In the Identifying Strategies assignment, PSTs collectively identified atotal of 15 strategies that the teachers used with respect to the three features. The most frequentlymentioned strategies for each feature were: having students call on a peer for critique orfeedback (Feature 1), posing questions about whether

In IBL, students are encouraged to develop their learning and innovative solutions so they contain high levels of knowledge development (DoK-3 and DoK-4) and high levels of impact (Academia and Society levels).Tokenized Learning SystemThe tokenized system allows students to log, track, and provide evidence of their individual self-defined learning goals easily and efficiently to all course instructors involved.

For exclusioncriteria, all results were limited to peer-reviewed journals published in English if they fit all otherrequirements and studied underrepresented populations’ experiences or perceptions in STEMentrepreneurship. There was no time period specified in the exclusion criteria due to the limitedamount of literature published in STEM entrepreneurship so all research regardless of thepublication date was considered.

EngineeringDivision has historically hosted round-table discussions on topics relevant to the division membership,so it was only appropriate to have a discussion that would focus on effects of the pandemic so that ourmembers could learn from each other. Although the sessions were open to all ASEE members, weanticipated this roundtable to be an intimate discussion specific to the construction engineeringdiscipline. It turned out that 196 ASEE members from at least 18 Divisions and representing 122institutions attended, providing a broad perspective on the topic.LITERATURE REVIEWAs the meeting was held shortly after schools moved to online learning, there was very little in the wayof peer reviewed research on this topic. However, our participants shared

They had just completed their first two semesters of college with theprevious curriculum, and were then contracted to provide guidance and grading support in thenew classes. They were tasked with learning Python just ahead of the new students, whichprovided a running commentary of comparison to their first year courses.Peer teaching assistants are insatiable learners, so the opportunity to explore and guide a newcurriculum deployment was enthusiastically embraced.
