For building-related activities, we havecarefully mixed in-person students with the fully virtual student, so that some members hadphysical access to the makerspace. Also, we have allocated a common happy hour for students tomeet the faculty, teaching assistants, and other students to discuss various course-related issuesand get help with mainly with the individual assignments.To see the effectiveness of NUFlex and the teaching approach that we have used for the courses,we have surveyed with several questions.

levels to include for each item. Afterseveral discussions about the feasibility of creating discrete, measurable levels that could beobserved without additional classroom materials (e.g., lesson plans, student work, interviewswith teachers), we decided on five levels with a 0-4 scale, similar to the RTOP [18]. Items wereassigned to small teams to continue refining the wording of each item and its observable levels.Part of this process included a critical examination of the items, which sometimes resulted inremoving an item completely or recognizing that we could further collapse items. This continuedwork occasionally included the splitting of a single item into two items, as some ideas were “toobig” or unwieldy to address in a single item. In

. Once full retirement age is reached there is no reduction in benefits due to earned income.If students analyze an individual case, such as a grandparent, with the SSA’s benefit estimatorthe years between early and normal retirement can raise their AIME. If a person has less than 35years with significant income subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax, thenmore years at a high income may raise their AIME significantly. For example, a state universityprofessor may have many years covered by a state pension plan with only limited amounts ofsocial security income or an individual may have long child-care gaps in their employmentrecord.Calculating an NPV or IRR once a cash flow stream is known is straight-forward, so this

It helps students learn core concepts of LSS and allows for deeper understandingof the theoretical knowledge through the practical application. Van Til et al.

Asa result, several nationally-recognized programs have focused on increasing the number oftraditionally underrepresented groups in engineering to try research as undergraduate students.For example, the Meyerhoff Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)is a four-year undergraduate program that attracts top high school students and prepares them forgraduate school. Admission preference is given to students “who are interested in theadvancement of minorities” and those who already plan to pursue a PhD in STEM [8].Meyerhoff Scholars are

Three distinctlearning strategy groups were identified: Navigators, Problem Solvers, and Engagers [10].Navigators plan their learning and focus on completing the necessary activities to achieve theirgoals. Order and structure are important to these learners, who tend to be logical, objective, andperfectionists. They want clear objectives and expectations at the beginning of a course and inadvance of activities, such as in an explicit and detailed syllabus. Problem Solvers are criticalthinkers who like to explore multiple alternatives. For them, the process is important, so theyneed flexibility in completing learning activities.

differences lead to inequitable practices within teams such as unfair distributionsof the workload or type of work, often in problematic ways. For example, active and dominantstudents might advocate for themselves to take on the more challenging and interesting parts of aproject, leaving the more mundane and menial work to their passive teammates. Mix-genderedteams in engineering education have been found to have unbalanced work distribution: womenmay do more work related to planning or communication, while men may do more technicalwork [1]. Such disproportionate allocation of work and assumption of roles lead to studentsobtaining unequal gains from team projects, for which the more active student might have hadthe more enjoyable and useful
