Accordingly, the indicator PI-1.3 may stipulate that students demonstrate thecorrect approach on data analysis and visualization (i.e., projection, scale, etc.) to produce thebest solution for the GIS problem. The descriptions for each performance level should use anaction verb, which is measurable, and clearly states the desired quality level. This example aimsto demonstrates that simply using LMS, without exploiting its capabilities on a rigorousassessment approach, does not in itself guarantee that analysis and evaluation of test scores leadto effective and comprehensive assessment of student learning outcomes.

prior work done in measuring spatialvisualization skills, our work involves contributions concerning international engineeringeducation.We are embarking on this project to develop a test from scratch rather than using existingassessment tools. Before making our own, we want to learn from previous projects what doesand does not work in existing assessment tools with a critical lens. Often, the tests currently usedin literature and the subsequent course or curriculum appear to result in score gains of studentsafter the intervention [3]. We are questioning whether this could be a result of the test notaccurately capturing the spatial visualization skills initially, whether this reflects ceiling/flooreffect in statistical data analyses, or if gains
fall 2021, over 50% of students had average grades of less than 70% in the first two mid-termexams [10, 11]. From spring 2020 through summer 2022, most instructors were soft in assessingstudent knowledge due to COVID pandemic. During this period, students took most exams onlinewithout an effective proctoring system. Moreover, in many cases take-home exams or projectsemployed to assess students’ knowledge. The greatest challenge for instructors was to maintainthe academic integrity of their exams [12, 13]. Many instructors could find the solutions to theironline exams, take-home exams, or projects on such online tutoring services as Chegg orCoursehero [14, 15].Instructor Initiated Drop policyIn fall 2022, the university again allowed the

-regardless of background [1]. With a projected increase in STEM jobs of 8 percent by 2029 (ahigher rate than non-STEM jobs [2]) there is a need to address the equitable cultivation of aSTEM workforce that is diverse and culturally relevant.In order to broaden the interest of young learners in STEM, many educators are including art intheir STEM activities (making STEAM the new acronym.) This inclusionary practice has thepotential to encourage a more diverse population of learners to become engaged in STEMpractices [3]. With arts-inclusive STEM programming, we prepare students to beinterdisciplinary collaborators who can add new perspectives to the increasing demand forinnovation.Even with governmental initiatives and inclusive practices to increase

The structure and organization of micro-internships varied across organizations andparticipants.

These goals provide direction for future capstone project curriculumdevelopment to exploit the potential of sand casting for prototyping purposes while remainingunder safe working conditions in the lab. This process can also lead to a significant cost reductionin the capstone project development and raw material purchase, as metal waste from subtractivemanufacturing processes can be

different situatedlearning experiences can influence lifelong learning orientations (attitudes and values related tolifelong learning). There is wide awareness that the engineering profession has a role to play inaddressing global socio-technical problems such as climate change and digital misinformation[1]. At the same time, rapid technological change and other shifts in the labour system mean thatengineers’ workplace responsibilities and career paths are prone to uncertainty and precarity [2].As will be discussed, lifelong learning competencies can enable individuals to navigate thesechanges and challenges in their individual career trajectories and to make innovativetechnological contributions.

The STEELS also include connections to Pennsylvania Career Ready Skills, aPennsylvania specific context, and connections to standards from other content areas (e.g.,math).One of the reasons that the content and steering committees elected to model the T&E standardswithin the STEELS after the STEL was due to the strong foundation of peer-reviewed researchthat guided the development the STEL [1].

marginalized groups continue to pursue graduate education. In Golde’s work on socialization in graduate school, the first year of doctoral education isbroken into four tasks of transition. The first is intellectual mastery, in which a student completescoursework in their field. The second task is learning how graduate school operates and whatthey should expect from their life in graduate school as a student. Similarly, the third task isdescribed as learning how their projected profession works and determining how they feel aboutmoving in this direction post-graduation. Finally, the fourth task is integrating themselves intothe department and their cohort [1]. The program described in this work is designed to primarilyassist students with this

For example, one of the main priorities graduatestudents discussed as in conflict to their interdisciplinary scholar identity development is theexpectation to have publications in certain disciplinary-acclaimed journals and to specifically bethe first author on those publications. In 2020, Student A said, So I was thinking about the IR program, and I think it is a little bit hard to be motivated, because PhD students need to be the first author of their dissertation. And everyone is PhD student so … their priority cannot be that interdisciplinary project. And I get also faculty have similar feeling, because
