Here is a list ofrecommendation to ensure the attendance during synchronous instruction based on faculty member’s input.• The syllabus should reflect the various modes of content delivery.

cannot be developed over night. The success of a flippedclassroom hinges on the design and execution of the course. To ensure that courses are properlydesigned, the Flipped Learning Network [8] has outlined the four pillars of a successful flippedclassroom: 1) Provide a flexible learning environment where students can interact with their instructor and peers, reflect on the course material, and explore different methods of learning and practicing. 2) Build a culture of independent learning where students can engage with the course material without the direct supervision of the instructor. 3) Create intentional course content which directly shifts students focus to the course material the instructor wants them to engage

The only mention of analysis was that it was, “transcribed, indexed, andanalyzed” (p. 143). The findings were then presented in three sections that align with questionsasked during the focus group. Another example of this with a more narrative approach was inMeyer and Fang where five participants were interviewed and asked to bring a journey map.There was also minimal discussion of the data analysis, “Data analysis was made based on thetranscriptions and reflections from the interviews as well as the graphic journey maps thatparticipants had generated” (p

Evolution of an invention education summer camp as a bridge from high school to college STEMAbstractWe describe the evolution of curriculum and practices in a four-week summer camp for highschool students. The camp is free for 25 participants chosen through an application and interviewprocess. We do not select for prior STEM experience or high academic performance. A briefoverview of the camp and some representative outcomes are presented. The main thrust of thepaper is on the changes we have made to improve the camp based on results from externalevaluators and our own reflection. We describe 8 main changes since the start of the camp in2016. In 2020 and 2021, in response to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic

Many students were also working jobs and wanted to plan course load around theiremployment commitments.The jump in performance inquiries were related to the students deciding on how their grades willbe reflected under the new grading policy of ‘pass and no credit’. Students were very concernedas to how a Pass grade would be interpreted by graduate schools or future employers. Studentshad the option to select the Pass/Fail grading system and many needed assistance with thisdecision. Some were concerned that their GPA would be adversely effected by the Pass option,which was incorrect. This new alternative to grading increased student’s stress over grades inmany cases with

In summary, there are many researchfindings and proven methods of teaching that are effective in achieving deeper learning andcompetency development. However, many chemical engineering faculty members are not trainedin pedagogy and are not aware of these educational methods and tools and their implementationin today’s engineering education.In summary, with the broadening of the chemical engineering discipline, the gap betweenindustry and academia has grown.

Responses are shown in Figure 11. As might beexpected, faculty members’ use of student involvement strategies decreased. Group problemsolving, field trips, student reflections, and student-led demonstrations all were used lessfrequently, as were instructor-led demonstrations. Use of visuals, written or projected text,sequential instructions, and traditional lecture increased. In Spring 2020, faculty had to quicklyadapt to different video conferencing platforms.

This trend continued in the third year of the program, with CAPS scholarshaving a higher GPA than their peers.

One faculty associated creativity with not making use of an existing design. Jason ratedhis creativity 8.5 out of 10 and stated that he has a more tendency to embrace creativity thanother engineers, as he tries not to use the Internet while solving a problem and instead starts fromscratch thinking of the best possible solution.

engineering work differ markedly from one’s beliefs about the role of personalcultural beliefs, though I recognize that politics and cultural beliefs are often intimately linked.Future work should conceptualize the ways cultural, political, and social issues appear inengineering education such that students’ beliefs about these three areas might be disentangled.Third, this research was part of a larger study examining the ways students’ individual epistemicvalues shape their teamwork in engineering design settings. One finding of that research is thatstudents’ abstract professed epistemologies (i.e., those reflected in responses to surveyinstruments), and their enacted epistemologies (i.e., those reflected in their thinking, behaviors,and decisions
