What are the instrument's psychometric properties employed in terms of reliability and correlation among the latent factors in the context of Singapore? KAB Framework The domains of knowledge, attitude, and behavior (KAB) were developed from Bloom etal.’s (1956) study on developing instructional learning objectives for teaching and learning, fromthe initial domains of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The KAB framework is often usedin medical research to show that the three domains are interrelated—with knowledge and attitudeaffecting behaviors eventually (Liu et al., 2016). Though the

separately.An expanded analysis of participants’ survey responses with respect to their race and ethnicitymay provide insight into cultural norms, beliefs or expectations that may affect decisionsregarding studying engineering. A longitudinal study may be implemented to track participants’high school class selections, summer STEM experiences, college major, intent to major andpersistence to major in engineering or other major. The results of the study are insightful andmay inform the way high schools, colleges, and organizations support, guide, and inspirestudents to become engineers.References 1. S.

Given the need to better support engineering GSs inobtaining a graduate education that will serve them in a variety of careers as well as to supportthem in feeling as though they belong and can persist in their chosen field, we see GIFT as beinga promising model to be implemented in conjunction with engineering graduate programs.Importantly, this is a model that is transferable to any engineering and/or STEM graduateprogram, does not place a huge burden on GSs in terms of coursework, and does not requiregrant money or university appropriations to run successfully.AcknowledgementsFunding for this work comes from NSF Award #1806698.References[1] S.

An alternative teachingapproach is to bring in the personal stories of both individual engineers and the people who havebeen impacted by engineering in positive and negative ways. This personal approach may bemore effective in activating emotions and aligns with Bratton’s (2004) Model of AffectiveMorality and Scholl et al.’s (2016) core affect model. Further, emotional responses may beheightened by seeing the individuals tell their own stories rather than reading text-basednarratives.

much as we are teachers’ disposition. Disposition is the waywe habitually approach life and here it is assumed that with regards to teaching or promotinglearning an individual’s disposition in the classroom is based both on what they value ineducation [8] as well as the mental models they hold about how others learn. Values affect whatis taught and the mental model(s) a professor holds affects how they teach.As mentioned above there are a very large numbers of models of learning which are based ontheories of how people learn. These models may be explicitly developed by reading researchstudies and learning from the experiences of others, or they may be more implicit, developedthrough individual practice and one’s own experiences of being taught

bridge’s failure. However, weighing the bucket is not very excitingand you risk losing some of the contents when the bridge fails and the bucket lands on the floor.Automating the applied load is another way to “spice up” your balsawood bridge competition,which allows spectators to watch the load increase as material is added. The simplest way to dothat is to use a load cell. Load cells are very accurate sensors for measuring applied force andcan be easily calibrated using an applied known load. Fig. 6 (a) shows a standard 1,000 lbs S-shaped load cell used for this competition [15]. The top of the load cell is attached to a spreaderbar connected to two threaded rods used to apply the load at the locations previously shown inFig. 1, while the bottom
