situated within cognitive empathy and reflects what we know about the developmental trajectories of children ages 4-6. This draws on research related to children’s development of theory of mind [6], and skills needed for cognitive empathy (e.g., understanding the feelings of others, recognizing and describing emotions, and perspective taking). Theory of mind, which is the ability to apply emotions, beliefs, thoughts, knowledge to oneself and others, and understand that the mental states of others may differ from one’s own is foundational to cognitive empathy development [6]. It between the ages of 4 to 6 that true theory of mind tends to emerge [7]. Thus, this project operates on the edge of children’s developmental abilities

The survey analysis revealed that many faculty members do not differentiate betweentransfer students and traditional students and may therefore not be sensitive to their uniqueneeds. However, faculty members associated with the ASSETS scholars, through serving asfaculty mentors, were found to be aware of these differences and are already implementingmeasures that reflect a shift in mindset benefitting transfer students.

The second module is for the student to finish their data analysis and startwriting. In the third module, the student finishes the draft manuscript and creates a plan fordissemination. Throughout the course, the student is also asked to reflect on different aspects ofthe research process and discuss with the research supervisor. The final product of the course is adraft manuscript that can be used to disseminate the results of student’s research.

increaseenjoyment and 5% of students determined the goal of gamified learning was not to improve theirgaming skills [9]. This reflection in their responses show that students know gamified learningisn't like playing a game as they would outside of the classroom, but rather it is used as anothertool to further their education in a modern way. From the responses of these engineeringstudents, it is evident that the need for an overhaul in the typical engineering education learningenvironment is very much needed. While students are eager to accomplish new feats in theireducational career, it is difficult for them to achieve those feats due to the competitiveness that isfostered, whether directly or indirectly, and lack of encouragement to explore outside of
activities, projects, and initiatives [2]. Engineering programs at universities can develop andoffer courses to non-majors to meet this need.Nuclear-specific organizations have similar public education goals. The mission of the AmericanNuclear Society (ANS) is to advance, foster, and spur the development and application ofnuclear science, engineering, and technology to benefit society [3]. One of the objectives is toexcel in engaging and informing the public and students.In this paper, we detail the feedback from students, the course structure and goals, some of thespecific content and activities designed, a reflection on successes and challenges, andsuggestions for others who might want to develop such a course.

Project Fluud uses a game-based learning approach wherebylearning contents are implicitly embedded in the game to motivate students to learn whileplaying.

The motorsare driven by an H-Bridge shield connected to an Arduino Mega. The robot has two primarysensors: a reflectance sensor array used to sense line position and an encoder used to sensependulum position. The line sensor is connected directly to the Arduino Mega. An Arduino 2Uno is dedicated two responding to encoder interrupts to read the pendulum rotationalposition. The Arduino Mega and Uno communicate via i2 c. One novel

In order to achieve these goals, the project activities include: ● Stipend Support: Participating faculty-student teams receive annual stipends to fund materials, equipment, supplies, travel to conduct research. ● Ventureprise Collaboration: Students engage with business leaders through Ventureprise, an NSF-ICorps site at UNC Charlotte. Students undergo entrepreneurial training, including investigating applications of their work, market research, and
community and having the opportunity to engagein mentoring activities with their peers and their mentors.

Therefore,surveys are standard methods of evaluation. Pre and post-surveys are most beneficial to evaluatestudent learning outcomes from an assignment and measure the impact of that activity [8]. Thesesurveys are a reflection on the student's performance as well as how impactful the assignmentwas to the learning outcome. Therefore, well-designed and well-placed surveys can be abeneficial and insightful tool for evaluating student performance and the course itself.
