In addition to building the C-R boxes, students also plot graphs to show theeffectiveness of the boxes in removing particle number concentration. They measured the noiselevels and vibration for different fan speeds of these box filters to ensure the fans were not tooloud during teaching sessions. Each week students submitted engineering logs of their buildingprocess. Students were also asked to reflect upon their design and testing methods and developefficient design improvements. Students also highlighted their learning

The meetings usually started with updates fromthe group members about how life was going and anything that they wanted to share. Manymeetings started with each individual sharing a “high” from the previous week, a “low” from theprevious week, and something that individual was looking forward to in the coming week. Atsome point in the meeting, the facilitator would typically transition the group to the discussiontopic. However, the general structure of

Finally, students end each semester by writinga reflective paper in which they examine their own work.Argument and AnalysisThe CU Denver Composition program describes this outcome thus: “Students write persuasivelyand analytically. Student writing contains convincing arguments and is supported with evidence”[14]. The traditional culmination of a composition class is the researched argument—a 10-pagepaper arguing for a particular point, usually on a topic of current political import. While this doesdevelop key communication skills, such as persuasiveness and the ability to support claims withevidence, it often

comment shows an example of an aspect of financial literacy that our undergraduate students may need help to improve their personal finance and money management skills. • When students were asked about cash flow and net worth from a business perspective for Learning Module 2, students were able to identify strategies that could result in greater income in a particular scenario. For example, a student proposed a low interest loan to improve the security system of the business after merchandise was stolen. Another student reflected that it was better to look for lower cost options or to rent another studio for the business instead of lowering the quality of the product being sold. Another

In the course students work in teams to deliverprogress reports and presentations on a design they formulate and build at facilities available oncampus. Their progress presentations and reports are modeled after those seen in industry.In Fall of 2021 two of this paper’s authors sought to mirror this paired instruction in the students’first year. They created a “cornerstone” course by combining an early curriculum CAD designcourse, EGR 201, with a technical writing course, COM 221 [1].

It is well established that several factors areassociated with attracting and retaining students in the STEM fields, including an affinitywith the discipline, a sense of belonging, interest in the field, self-efficacy, and prioreducational experiences, among others [1, 2]. One indicator of academic progressioncommonly used in educational management is the student retention rate. Academicprogression reflects the ability of the educational institution to achieve the retention of itsstudents. High retention rates imply good institutional management, low dropout rates, and,consequently, positive economic benefits for the families of students and the State itself [3,4].Beyond

Mindfulness and meditationinvolve the art and science of building an awareness of self and developing reflective techniquesto promote calmness and stability. There is evidence from literature that demonstrates positiveeffects of mindfulness and meditation for well-being.In engineering education in particular, the cognitive stress of engaging with the curriculum canbe high. Past research has found that engineering students do perceive benefits from engaging inmindfulness activities

reflected on the limitations of neural networks, and realized that many generalissues apply here.For example, a known difficulty in machine learning is predicting the minority class. Due to theintrinsic ratio nature of probability, it is naturally easier to predict the majority class with higheraccuracy than the minority class. Predicting the minority class is therefore a known difficulty inmachine learning. As we are attempting to predict attrition, and attrition is the minority class, theneural network was having difficulty. In addition, there is no strong signal in the available data.As shown in Figure 2, all groups for most independent variables are retained.

Students Sense of belonging statistically increased across the first semester for cohorts 2015 and2016, remained statistically the same for cohorts 2017, 2018, and 2021, and statisticallydecreased for cohorts 2019 and 2020 (fall 2020 is the COVID-cohort). Of particular note is thatthe largest decline in sense of belonging over the course of the first semester was during the 2020COVID cohort year. This suggests that the first-semester social experience for the COVID-cohort may havebeen negatively impacted and was reflected in their reported sense of belonging. While the effectsize is small for all cohorts, the 2020 (COVID-cohort) reported the highest effect size withCohen’s d = 0.30, up to three times larger than in previous cohorts

Forinstance, academic self-description was used to measure self-efficacy in the paper it was pickedup from [20]. However, because Marsh [43] used academic self-description questionnaire toassess self-concept, it was adapted and reflected in this review.
