Since the Summer of 2015 I have been privileged to work with the Texas A and M Sketch Recognition Lab (TAMU SRL) to evaluate a couple of online tutorial tools (Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS)) currently under development, Mechanix and Sketchtivity, that provide immediate constructive feedback to the students and student-level metrics to the instructors. I presented on this work at the state and national PLTW Conventions and at CPTTE in 2016. I also spent 5 semesters beginning the Fall of 2015 taking online courses learning how to construct and deliver online courses

This project is working to determine if bestpractices in the areas of recruitment, retention, and persistence to degree at the undergraduatelevel translate successfully to the MS level, looking specifically at low-income, academicallytalented, first-generation, and generally underrepresented students in the science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines.SEnS GPS is currently in its second year and has just graduated its first cohort of 10 students inMay 2022.

Unfortunately, a portion of the study cohort had their undergraduate educational plansdisrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students enrolled in the two-quarter capstone designproject in Spring 2020 were not permitted to access laboratory equipment on campus or travel tosponsor companies. Thus, they relied on computational tools to complete their projects.MethodsThis study surveyed students enrolled in a Materials Kinetics course in either Winter 2018 or2019.

Once on campus, the program attempted to create apositive, success-reinforcing community of students, similar to those found in minority advocacyorganizations and smaller engineering departments (Baldwin et al., 2021a). Students began theircollegiate STEM experience with a boot camp designed to emulate the expectations and work loadof the first-year engineering program at Purdue, in a consequence-free environment. During eachschool year, students were provided with a friendly, success-tools oriented seminar by one of theprogram’s investigators. Reflective writing exercises were emphasized to encourage writtencommunication skills and career focus (McCarthy, 2011; Bolton, 2006). Purdue has
included a project broken into threeparts, an exam, a lab, and a virtual field trip to a local wastewater treatment plant. The final andshortest block over five lessons covered air pollution control and only had a homeworkassignment as a major graded event. At the conclusion of the semester, all students were given afinal exam which was worth 20% of their overall grade in the course. This study first assessed the performance of students on all major graded events vs. theirchosen modality of attendance. The attendance for each lesson was recorded in an excel databaseby instructors after the conclusion of each lesson.

Prior to utilizing the RIOS approach for concurrent tasks(pre-2012), we observed about 10-20% of students failing to complete their final projects that requiredmultiple tasks, usually due to bugs in the multi-tasking aspects of their programs. That situation was infact a key motivator for developing RIOS. Since introducing the RIOS approach involving cooperativeperiodic tasks and the
has led educators to develop anentrepreneurial mindset in engineering students [1, 2]. Entrepreneurial mindset (EM) is definedas an “inclination to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities" [3, 4], and the way to thedevelop EM in graduates is through education. As an example, a Moroccan university hasintroduced a training-based educational approach for Ph.D. students to improve theirunderstanding of opportunity recognition and its surrounding environment by instilling anentrepreneurship mindset [5]. Many other approaches enhance engineering student abilitiesthrough forms of entrepreneurial-minded learning such as problem-based learning, and project-based learning [6, 7]. One possible way to promote these practices is through the SOTL
