The parallel prototyping strategy employed by Dow et al. shows somebenefits over an iterative strategy, but there is a lack of supporting empirical evidence. The workin this paper aims to provide evidence for the benefits and limitations of these two prototypingstrategies through an undergraduate engineering design project for physical products.Beyond an iterative or parallel approach, researchers have outlined other strategies for aneffective prototyping process.

It is interesting tonote that this correlates to participating teachers’ students having an average score in the “MeetsExpectations” category while the comparison group fell in the “Approaches Expectations”category as defined by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This report will provide a practicalgroundwork for crafting cross-curricular professional development opportunities that lead toincreased teacher self-efficacy and student achievement on standardized mathematicsassessments.IntroductionMathematics courses have been described as a gatekeeper for student achievement for decades[1]. Although some contest that performance in these courses is merely an indicator of studentsuccess and not a contributing factor, many studies point to the

The PATHS scholarship opportunity was alsopromoted by surrounding community college staff and faculty, as well as Colorado high schoolCS teachers.PATHS scholars provide K-14 outreach based on their interests (e.g., visiting their previous highschool or providing K-12 CS presentations).

K-14 outreach has proven to aidthe development of self-efficacy, retention, and recruitment for

Factors of Student SuccessThe factors that make students successful in and out of the classroom are incredibly complexwith no fool-proof mathematical formula for success. We have begun to understand, however,that combinations of non-cognitive factors, such as grit, community engagement, identity,mindset, self-efficacy, and motivation are far more important predictors than traditionalmeasures of test scores or intelligence measures [4]. Based on this premise, we posit the barriersto student success in programming-oriented courses could largely be addressed by focusing onpromoting healthy
them. Insome instances, the lack of engagement might be because students are not aware of the HIEP theycan participate in during their program.

This research body determined that stereotype threat can take up valuablewhen experienced, which can affect many things including cognitive mechanisms and academicperformance and persistence.When an individual from a stigmatized group is presented with a negative stereotype, it cancause a heighted awareness of one’s own actions. This heightened awareness often leads to areduction in self-efficacy (the

This concept guided thedevelopment of survey questions that measured students’ perceived abilities, in alignment withliterature on project-based teams in engineering educational contexts [24].

At the end ofthe first-year program, it is the intent that students have a similar level of ability when it comes tothe basic programming fundamentals that are assessed in this concept inventory. While there are 2different course tracks, honors and standard, students still should be gathering similar baselineknowledge in concepts assessed in the concept inventory. However, the honors course teaches anadditional course-worth of programming knowledge so it may be expected that they wouldperform better on the assessment. Additionally, it is not intended for this

With the increase in availableeducational robotics technologies (such as LEGO robotics, VEX Robotics, micro:bit, and othertools) robotics competitions have become ubiquitous in most school communities around theworld [2].These competitions have been shown to have positive learning outcomes for those whoparticipate [3,4]. Specifically, research into robotics competitions has shown that they positivelyimpact the development of: (1) problem solving skills, (2) self efficacy, (3) computationalthinking, (4) creativity, (4) collaboration, and (5) motivation [1].

integration provided students with laboratory experiences in a purelytheoretical course, allowing them to gain the comprehensive hands-on skills required ofengineers.It is believed that active lab experiences such as these would increase student self-efficacy andstudent engagement and confidence. This would also enhance the feeling that students belong inthe EE discipline and increase student retention. The results also show that the integration of HiHlaboratory experiences contributes to the improvement of multiple ABET student learningoutcomes.

Additionally, these engagement practices' voluntary nature means that students fromminority demographic groups might not participate, and they are more at risk of dropping out ofan engineering program. However, studies have shown that participation in HIEP improves E/CSHIEP participation could be a predictor of academic success [5].
