Some science and computer labs are dropping their traditionalaesthetic and are evolving into more of a fab lab or makerspace type environment built onsupporting STEM learning [1]. This adoption of new technologies is great, and libraries aretaking on the role of supporting it via workshops and events, but also making the tech itselfavailable for checkout.At the present, users in K-12 schools tend to be the leaders in hosting technologies like Arduino,which could be considered entryways into further development and interest in areas such aselectronics, robotics, and coding.

As part of an existing project, my team and I have been exploring mechanisms forlearning about student experiences with reflection activities. We created a reaction protocol tounderstand students’ experience, or reactions, with exam wrappers, a common reflection activitygiven in relation to an exam in engineering education (Kaplan et al., 2013). The reaction protocolis a structured, interactive interviewing tool. We were able to conduct eight interviews withundergraduate engineering students using the reaction protocol.While the purpose of the reaction protocol was to learn about the student experience in order tounderstand and redesign reflection

Such artifacts included templates that helped guide the engineering design process,slides with examples of funds of knowledge and engineering, documents with examples of engineeringproblems, and strategies to integrate STEM content and language, among others. These artifactsbecame fundamental for the understanding of concepts and the significance of engineering and funds ofknowledge throughout the project. Mediation in this case applied to both objects and people [15], and inthis study the coaches provided meanings, associations, and interpretations to the artifacts
Paper ID #36760Unified approach to teaching uncertainty across a three-course mechanical engineering laboratory sequenceEric Dieckman I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and coordinator of both the BSME and interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Engineering and Applied Science programs at the University of New Haven.

Some recent projects include
same student perception of self-efficacy questionnaire as the pre-survey. UsingPearson correlations, the results show that prior experiences such as number of programmingcourses or making / robotics / STEM activities had no statistical influence on summative scoreswithin any of the assignments given in the course. However, comparing the two groups ofstudents within the course, the HP group scored ~10% higher on ‘non-making’ assignments(p<0.001), ~18% higher on the final (‘making’) project (p<0.001), and ~4% higher on exams(p=0.07). While the latter was not statistically different, the trends were consistent. From theself-efficacy pre- and post- questionnaire, specific questions were grouped together to inferdevelopment in each of the 3
feedback can handcuff a student as they approach the next assessment. Nonutilized Human Talent - In a typical classroom where the professor (or graders) evaluate student work, the ability of the students to evaluate their own work is overlooked. Inventory - Work is often done in “batches” (weekly homework, midterm exam, project, etc.). As such, the student compiles an inventory of work in process. Motion - Not all assessments have a well-defined purpose. From a faculty perspective, not all grading is productive. How many papers, exams, homework have you

As a result, students who engage in WILs enhancetheir understanding of the cultures, norms, and skills essential to support their success in theworkplace environment [1]-[5]. In addition, these experiences tend to strengthen their technicaland interpersonal skills, which in turn have the potential to translate into improved academicperformance [6] and a broadened network [7]-[8]. As students work alongside engineers in thefield, they can take ownership of important projects that can influence their communities anddrive innovation and growth in a company [1],[7]. The recognition of their impact fuels
spine, through several cycles of design, may help students to overcomehabits detrimental to design, such as jumping to propose solutions. Other implicit forms ofdesign appear in non-design courses with a project-based pedagogical approach or applyingdesign thinking to address an open-ended challenge.A design spine may also be connected through a design framework where certain elements of theframework are emphasized in each course to develop confidence and competence throughrepetition [36], which is difficult to achieve in a bookend (cornerstone and capstone) curriculumapproach [7]. A design spine/learning progression provides a structure that can thrive throughchanges such as scaling up a program, increasing offerings of courses, and changing

students’education. Working directly with students early on and throughout their educational careers is anoptimal way for companies to recruit potential employees and ensure that the students areequipped with enough industry knowledge to start work immediately with less onboardingtraining required upon their entry into the workforce.Many companies may also decide to get involved in students’ educational careers by sponsoringa capstone project. There are many ways in which a capstone sponsorship can be carried out.Take the engineering design capstone project Pennsylvania State University - HarrisburgCampus, for example. Companies from the industry advisory board can opt to sponsor a studentor group of students’ projects by presenting a real-world industry

In their approach, instructors provided students with a“creativity toolkit” consisting of two pieces: (1) a summary of common rules of thumb forstructural design which were intended to assist students in quickly generating a variety ofalternatives and (2) guidance on how to approach loosely defined problems. Putting the toolkit touse in projects of increasing complexity, students conceptual design skills improved as did theirability to approach

these opportunities for practice comes from representatives ofour EECS Industry Advisory Board, who have identified gaps between students’ knowledgeupon graduation and the skills required on the job. Examples of gaps in learning includeunderstanding software licensing and sharing, performing continuous integration and continuousdelivery, doing testing, doing agile development, managing projects, and demonstratingpeople-skills in challenging situations. Workplace proficiency in different domains of knowledgerequires more than simply knowing about the topics: it requires putting knowledge into practice.Based on our prior research [1, 2], we have already demonstrated how a Communities ofPractice Program can be a transformative element in
literature review. Academic environmentsthat encourage learning, mastery, and continuous improvement rather than inherent ability canpromote performance and persistence. Scholarship has argued that students could achieve masteryof the course material when the time available to master concepts and the quality of instructionwas made appropriate to each learner. Increasing time to demonstrate mastery involves a coursestructure that allows for repeated attempts on learning assessments (i.e., homework, quizzes,projects, exams). Students are not penalized for failed attempts but are rewarded for achievingeventual mastery. The mastery learning approach recognizes that mastery is not always achievedon first attempts and learning from mistakes and persisting
