However, although active learning can improve the experiences for students withinengineering, the impact of active learning on students of color and women are mixed [e.g., 14].Studies of the general college population have demonstrated positive effects of active learning onstudents’ self-confidence and persistence toward graduate school [15]. However, for somestudents, active learning practices such as volunteering to answer a question and being called onto answer a question in class can be

To complete the assignment, students investigateda job of their choosing and networked with someone currently in that job to inform their ultimateappraisal of whether the position is one they are still interested in. The impact of the assignmentwas assessed quantitatively (via students’ post-assignment responses on a Likert scale) andqualitatively (via open-ended questions). Students reported that the assignment was beneficial inconnecting the course to relevant professional opportunities, but they saw concrete ways toimprove the assignment for the future.Introduction

https://www.breakthroughtech.orgGiven that communal goals and altruistic purposes have been described as important toaddressing a “lack of interest” in STEM for women [28], we assigned our Guild a theme with asocial impact message: “Empowering Communities.” Then, the students worked in teams toidentify problems that they wanted to tackle that fit within the broad theme provided to them.Students were charged with designing a project where they attempted to solve the problem thatthey had previously identified, using newly acquired technical skills cultivated during the week.The Guild workshop culminated in a formal group presentation where the teams presented theproblems identified and received feedback from the whole group.The schedule for the
Statistics and incorporated into theEnvironmental Engineering Body of Knowledge are strongly related to “caring”, and a prioranalysis of the demographics as well as the salaries of environmental engineers support thepresence of a care penalty [2].The care penalty in environmental engineering may be linked to the unpriced benefits ofenvironmental engineering practice. For example, the application of standard accounting (i.e.,“prosperity”) to the capital, design, construction, and operation of a municipal sewage treatmentplant may not fully capture the “planet” aspects of treatment plant effluent being dischargedbetter than required by law. Such a planetary benefit – exceeding the requirements of regulations– would represent an unpriced benefit to
. Thisstudy was not intended as an intervention or model solution but to show the problem. Instead,this work was designed to present our experiences, encourage further research to understand thisspace better and encourage more effective training programs for graduate students withstructured, scaffolded experiences. Finally, we provided recommendations for our graduatestudent peers seeking to become faculty. This research paper will detail our classroom climate,teaching practice, and responsibilities as faculty apprentices. The following questions guided ourstudy:RQ1: What did we learn about teaching during our apprenticeships?RQ2: How did our understanding of teaching change by the end of our apprenticeship?BACKGROUNDA significant component of a

MOOC, combining online classes with face-to-face instructorguidance. In this paper, this is referred to as a blended MOOC or hybrid MOOC. When MOOCsare offered using hybrid formats, it can improve student outcomes and reduce costs [14]–[16].Results also show the impact of incorporating MOOCs in traditional classroom settings is almostequal or slightly better than face-to-face teaching environments [15]–[17].The key assumptions when designing a blended learning course are: Thoughtfully integratingface-to-face and online learning, fundamentally restructuring and replacing the course design,and class hours for effective student engagement [18].

This was done bycreating sub-teams based on the competition requirements. This included having a social mediateam responsible for the creativity in capturing the team’s journey and connecting them with otherteams all over the world, a team for researching and determining the design on the robot lifter, ateam for creating the robot shooter design, a team for building the robot driving base and intakemechanism, and a programming team that worked with the other sub-teams to operate the robot.The students were split into the teams based on their interests and skills where they ultimatelydecided with some interventions from the

Some of the debate topics were designed to lead students to inhabit a role anddefend their decision making in that role and based on that context.Final project - analysis of a topic from a chosen branch of engineeringStudents formed pairs for the final project, which was designed to help students practice using thetools they have learned in the semester - biases, ethical frameworks, roleplaying scenarios.

So, I think that will be the best defining moment.”DiscussionThough SPECTRA is in early practice, several important themes are already shown in dataderived from student interviews. The most compelling of these findings is how students interactwith their cohort and the overall benefits they feel they are getting from participating in theprogram. These findings correlate strongly with research done by similar transfer programs.Interacting and making connections with others is a vital part of the college experience andsomething that is particularly important for transfer students, who may have a more difficult timeforming connections than students who began at a four-year

The program begins tointroduce students to laboratory research from their first year, while providing an environment that enables them to pursue cutting-edge research, doing so directly underthe guidance of a supervisor, advisers, and graduate students. To ensure students gain the deep understanding needed for advanced research whileengaged in RBL, they will also study foundational natural science courses, requiredspecialized subjects, and other disciplines.
