program.When designing the remote Transfer-to-Excellence program, the administrative team had severalpriorities: First, the team hoped to provide as many interns as possible with a research internship.They also sought to provide an experience as similar as possible to the planned in-personprogram. This required that interns felt a strong sense of community with their research lab andpeer interns. As the interns were all physically isolated from their peers, mentors, and facultyhosts, the administrative team sought to ensure interns felt well supported and as connected aspossible. However, they acknowledged that interns would not be able to spend excessive time onvideo calls, due to risk of zoom fatigue or boredom [9].Twelve faculty hosts unfortunately

This type of behavior was only observedin non-technical tasks.Male Perceptions of Engineering TeamsTo understand team dynamics, researchers may ask male students about their experiences andobservations on sexism in their teams. In one study, male engineering students were seven timesmore likely than female engineering students to agree that their male peers treated female peersin engineering as equals (Osborne, 2008). This suggests that male students are less likely toobserve inequality in their own contexts and in their own teams, and they likely do not believethey play a part in gendered behavior and discrimination in engineering teams.

-level math and aerospace engineering courses during the Spring and Fall 2020 semesters.The major change was a move from face-to-face to remote learning during the mid of the Springsemester (March) and the fall semester. The face-to face in-class active learning (peer-to-peer,white board activities, team projects/presentations etc.) had to be aligned with the virtualdelivery/interaction modality. To encourage students prepare for the virtual lesson and watch thepre-class preparatory videos and other learning materials, graded short pre-class online quizzesusing the learning management system and virtual in-class quizzes were administered. Theauthors had provided several professional development workshops to the faculty on thesestrategies prior

2019Hoover [1] reported that there was a 20% enrollment drop since 2010 at state-owned universitiesin PA and forecasts another 15% drop to come. With a declining number of high schoolgraduates entering the system, the School of Engineering has made student retention a priority.Justification for RecitationIn order to effectively engage engineering students, improve passing rates, and increase retentionin their programs, universities have looked to innovative teaching pedagogies. Active learning[2], increased class time [3], recitation [4], project-based learning [5], and peer tutoring [6] arejust a few of the methods chosen to enhance traditional lecture-based courses. However, studiesfor some of these methods point to mixed results when integrated

The committee created and leveraged personal relationships via grassrootscampaigns to recruit, matriculate, retain, and support women students in the CEC.

In this paper, we report findings from our use of VTS in anexperimental graduate course in environmental engineering that aims to foster students’capacities for reflection. Using data from writing samples with methods of thematic analysis, weexplore students’ perceptions of their own learning from the VTS portion of this semester-longcourse called Developing Reflective Engineers through Artful Methods. One significant themeidentified was “Knowledge/Skills”, in which students identified specific knowledge gained orskills developed through their VTS experience, including skills of

Different pedagogical approaches were usedto teach fundamental concepts along with software to students in this study and each approachwas randomly assigned to a single module. The first pedagogical approach is the InstructorGuided Method in which the instructor taught RStudio to students after each topic.

For research question 3,students reported that oral exams were very stressful prior to taking the first one but did not findsubsequent oral exams stressful.MOTIVATIONIt has been shown that higher perceived teacher support and school belonging is correlated withless school misconduct [1]. The same study also showed that higher peer attachment is alsoassociated with higher rates of school misconduct. The most common reason students cite forchoosing to commit academic misconduct is grade pressure [2]. However, with large andincreasing enrollments in introductory programming courses, standardized assessment will be therequired for the foreseeable future.One strategy that has been

This is in part to remain open to emerging ideas and because Braun andClarke [18] argue that the writing process is part of the analysis. Therefore, comparing ourthemes to the literature while analyzing our findings in the early drafts of this paper forced us tobe more critical and work to better understand and confirm our themes.LimitationsThough this study revealed key insights into senior scholar’s motivation to join the discipline ofEER, due to the secondary nature of the data, there some limitations to our findings.

Inspired by well-established FYE curricula [4], [8]–[10], the learning objectives for the course focused on the engineering design process [11], [12],interdependency of the engineering disciplines through NAE’s Grand Challenges of Engineering[13], cross-cutting theoretical concepts such as mathematical modeling and conservation ofenergy, and durable professional skills like teamwork and technical writing. Delivered in a large-enrollment section format (ca. 350 students per section), the course was co-taught by 2-3 facultyinstructors and leveraged a cadre of undergraduate teaching assistants (25:1 student-to-TA ratio)to provide personalized coaching to student teams as they worked through the two
