Through the CN, students at all three campusescommunicate with each other, building a community among the students at each campus.The Urban STEM Collaboratory project goals are to: 1. Increase at each institution the recruitment, retention, student success, and graduation rates of academically talented and financially needy undergraduate mathematical sciences and engineering majors; 2

: Opportunities and Obstacles to Bystander Intervention1. IntroductionResearch finds that harassment, incivility, and racialized microaggressions areacute in STEM fields and that these behaviors present an obstacle to the retentionand advancement of women.1 The National Academy of Sciences, among otherorganizations, recommends that organizations aggressively promote climate andcultural changes to expand women’s participation (National Academies of Sciencesand Medicine, 2018). Historically, however, most efforts to reduce harassment andother harmful practices, including legislation, reporting systems, and training, havefailed (Feldblum and Lipnic, 2016; Dobbin and Kalev, 2019; Tinkler, 2012).Bystander training, which gives participants skills to

as software packages that requirespecialized training but are at the same time more accessible than those used by programmersand software developers. A deeper understanding of the specific differences in how students[1]think about and motivate themselves to learn computational tools is valuable to improving ourteaching in this critical area.Previous work by the author with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students identified a great distribution instudent’s utility value and interest in using MATLAB within their major-specific courses [2], andthat these distributions were unaffected by student’s course grades or achievement of learningobjectives. Casual conversations with students who perceived MATLAB as not being usefulindicated they would not pursue

long history of assessing inclusion, and reflected in this history is a wealth ofinclusion-related scales that differ in their purpose, focus on certain psychological constructs,intended audience, type of entity, and abstractness [1] - [3]. Although there is great appeal tousing an existing scale that has been shown to be valid, reliable, and generalizable, there aredisadvantages when needing it to be well-suited to a group with unique characteristics, such aswe describe exists at a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC).Understanding ERCs.

deep learning. This is a significant resultgiven that we did not advise students on why we were asking them to reflect, or what we hopedthey would gain from the activity. Our study provides quantitative evidence that answeringreflection prompts correlates with improved performance on exams and qualitative evidence thatstudents believe that reflection can help with conceptual understanding and deep learning.Reflection should be considered as a strategy for helping students think critically about coursematerial.Key Words: Reflective practice, Quantitative Study, Computer Organization1 IntroductionIt is important for college students to understand the “big picture” of their undergraduatecurriculum and how it prepares them for their careers [1

Weeliminated some of the homework problems to account for the time spent in preparation for lab,the lab sessions, and writing the post-lab reports. The labs accounted for 10% of the total gradeand included a prelab quiz, a post-lab report, and one or two exam questions for each lab.The three labs were: 1. Introduction to Pipetting 2.

According to Ken Bain in What theBest College Teachers Do, “People learn best when they ask an important question they care aboutanswering or adopt a goal they want to reach…If we are not seeking an answer to anything, wepay little attention to random information.” [1] Therefore if we are

Specifically, the NSF-fundedproject aims to make active learning (AL) the default method of instruction in early STEMcourses across the institution. The project builds on existing work on grassroots change in highereducation (Kezar and Lester, 2011) to study the effect of communities of practice on changingteaching culture. Within departments, the project leadership has created course-basedcommunities of practice that include instructors for the targeted courses, as well as otherdepartment faculty interested in broadening adoption of evidence-based teaching practices.The Physics and Astronomy Department at the R-1 institution at which this study takes placebegan engaging in change

However, international students, especially graduate students, in the United Statesmight fall into several exclusive issues and dilemmas that negatively influence the constructionof their academic identity [1]. Firstly, changing policies on visas and immigration havenegatively and systematically affected international graduate students arriving on U.S. campuses.This uncertainty due to changes in the political climate and global events unproportionallyimpacts students from countries such as Iran and China [2]–[4]. Secondly, an internationalstudent visa has a limited duration and associated criteria to ensure legitimate status. They

engineering identity.They have maintained and unquestioned technology as a core concept usually associated withengineering and value-neutral artifacts developed to solve problems by applying only specializedknowledge.Nevertheless, this conception of technology is far from reality. As currently accepted, technologyis a corpus of sociohistorically contextualized knowledge that embodies its creator’s culture,opening the door to diverse engineering conceptions [1]. In that sense, if a monolithicperspective of engineering continues, it is possible to consider technology as one kind of materialmanifestation of the engineering subculture, which includes only one set of shared commongoals, particular priorities, beliefs, values, and the specific jargon

activities are inincreasing demand in industry and education because modern tasks and products are morecomplicated than before and companies need effective collaboration in their teams to meet theirgoals [1]–[5]. Teams whose members are dependent of each other in their goals and tasksperform better than individuals [6]–[8]. Working in teams has the potential to provide a higherlevel of diversity, and teammates could learn from each other and exchange more opinions [3].Hence, effectively working in teams is a crucial ability for candidates seeking jobs, and recruiterscontinue to evaluate this ability [9], [10].
