Shaping Experiential Research for Veteran Education (SERVE)program is a partnership between the University of Tennessee (UTK) and the University ofNorth Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) that provides US military veterans an opportunity to receiveundergraduate research experience in a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fieldat a partner university. The University of Tennessee is also referred to as the lead university.The University of Tennessee is a large public land-grant research university which is also knownas the flagship campus of the system. The University of Tennessee has over 33,805 students,~4,000 of which are considered non-traditional or adult students [1]. As of Fall 2019
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains apriority. A student’s interest in a STEM major often begins at the precollege level, and theirprecollege experience can determine their later academic trajectory. While this interest oftendevelops in middle school or earlier, a student’s high school experience can affect whether astudent maintains or loses their interest. In order to understand a student’s high schoolexperience, this study focuses on the high school factors, student demographic characteristics,and academic achievement factors that inform college-going and STEM major choice. For thisstudy, data come from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), which is anationally representative longitudinal

In “The Future of Jobs Report 2020”, the world economic forum (WEF) built a list often skills that will be most required in jobs by 2025, one of them being “technology design andprogramming”. In response to the above, in recent years, many projects have been launched toincrease programming knowledge for different audiences and in different parts of the world. Oneof these projects was developed through a collaboration between a university in Colombia and

It is also core to the understanding of numerous probability distributions instatistics, hence, fundamental knowledge of this concept is crucial for a successful career inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The proposed experiment will ease thecomplexities involved in the learning of calculus students by using experimental centric pedagogy(ECP), which entails providing simple yet relevant experiments that would boost the students’interest in this field. The concepts of differentiation and integration would be practicallydemonstrated to students using Hooke’s law, velocity, acceleration with respect to time, and rulerexperiment. The project would employ readily available utilities to demonstrate integration anddifferentiation

traditional LIWC analysis with the standard dictionarygives a psychologically verified and impartial look at the language, while with the customdictionary it gives a measure of the known signposts for a topic. The MEM analysis gives theemergent themes within the topic. When these two a priori and in vivo thematic computationalmethods arrive at similar landmarks, researchers can be confident that although this took lesstime, the adventure has not only been worth the computations, but it has also arrived in thecorrect place.6 References[1] ASEE, “Engineering by the Numbers, 2010,” American Society for Engineering Education, Washington, DC, Profiles of Engineering and Engineering Technology Colleges, 2011.[2] ASEE, “Engineering &

Gamification Framework for Exploratory Learning in Higher STEM EducationAbstract:One important objective of higher education is to foster a lifelong learning mindset in students.This is often achieved by encouraging them to delve into topics and techniques that go beyondthe basics of a course. However, instructors often find it challenging to motivate students toengage in this type of exploratory learning. In this paper, we present a gamification frameworkspecifically designed to promote exploratory learning in STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) courses while also enhancing inclusion and student engagement.The framework provides a comprehensive guide on how to turn a course into a role-playinggame

Individuals with ADHD make up a growing fraction of college students.Despite their increasing college presence, little is known about their college experiences andacademic success. This project involves three sequential studies guided by the social model ofdisability. Study 1 is a quantitative analysis investigating the relationship between pre-collegefactors, college experiences, and academic success of college students with ADHD. Study 2 is ascoping literature review of the college experiences of these students, and Study 3 is aqualitative
