Based on the resultsgathered from the data, the authors highlight a total of four student responses - from both currentand former students - that offers a unique insight at the impact of the mentorship model enactedby the faculty advisor.The following statements are from current students who are participating in research efforts: “I have received some guidance during my time researching.

Wang and Wang [9] formalized the use of Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) maps – a type of conceptual model developed for operations research – as a tool for teaching systems thinking in a classroom setting. The SODA map allowed students to practice collaborative and higher level problem-solving by deriving and visualizing different strategies for a case study. Eppler [12] discussed applications of concept maps in the classroom and the benefits of complementary visualization by combining different mapping methods to enable a “richer learning experience for students.” Tranquillo et al.

In future rounds of the program, we plan to emphasize to participants thatthey can continue in their mentoring relationship beyond three manuscripts. The triad structure, where two mentees work with one mentor, was a noted benefit fromprogram participants.

As The Citadelwas moving some courses and graduate programs online, even before the pandemic, programdirectors and institutional audits noted a disparity in online course delivery.

teachers to apply the concepts and techniques learned in Week 1 by practicing hands-on mini-project applications to solve problems that were assigned by their lab mentors and specifically related to their research projects. Teachers were urged to discuss ideas with their mentors and with the PI and graduate students. Teachers were encouraged to make choices, i.e. to complete a mini-project that was not completely “canned,” but rather refined in collaboration with the mentors and with each other as a team. The mini project was designed to transition teachers to practice what they learned in training in Weeks 1-2 and was not the same problem as their research project. Each team of teachers (from the
.(2011, para. 3) concisely argue: technical writing is usually not the same as scholarly writing, and scholarly writing is required in most research-based writing projects, such as theses and directed projects. As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing

This involves justifyingtradeoffs and prioritizing different aspects, a hallmark of argumentation. In addition, engineeringresearch requires significant evidence-based argumentation for new designs to be accepted andfor the adoption of innovative practices. As such, argumentation is deeply embedded into theinformal and formal practices of professional engineers.The Role of Arguments and Argumentation in Engineering EducationArgumentation theory has been used in science and mathematics education research over the pastfew decades but has been largely

it had the unfortunate impact thatassignment questions with more scope for students to make decisions were shifted later in theterm as this type of question is much easier to write for functions than for arrays. This also meantthat students had less practice with programming questions requiring the use of their judgement.The course project in MTE121 was scaled back significantly, becoming closer to a two partassignment rather than an open-ended design project. Accordingly, the weighting of theassignments and projects changed in the course syllabus (assignments increased from 10% to19% in 2020, and the project decreased from 15% to 6% in 2020)2.2.2 AssignmentsThe most significant change to the weekly assignments for 2020 was the shift away
. Academicadministrators must therefore understand a complex network of dynamic factors that relate tostudents. Time, health, past and present experiences, future goals, life or work circumstances,and expectations for success are all factors that influence student learning [7]. Many of thefactors influencing dropout at master's degree are factors beyond student control, such asunforeseeable personal, health, or financial problems [8]. However, these factors do not explainall cases. Some of these factors are individual and personal, while others are institutional [9].Focused research is necessary to understand the factors that influence low early graduation rates.A literature review shows that there are practically no studies that analyze late graduation

As a result,many different commercial curricula (e.g., Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way,Lego Robotics) and open-source software (e.g., WISEngineering) exist to facilitate integratedinstruction.
