In previous work we implemented a series of safety education interventions into a 4thyear CHE lab course and demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students’perceptions about safety.4 As student perceptions shifted, so too did the safety culture in thelaboratory. By providing multiple opportunities for students to practice discussing and engagingwith safety in the laboratory, we were able to improve the students’ professional safety skills.Building on the success of this study, this project

In short, active learning requires students to domeaningful learning activities and think about what they are doing[4]. In addition, active learningpedagogical activities in both Traditional Classrooms and Active Learning Classrooms influencestudents’ satisfaction with their learning processes positively[5]. An investigation of the long-termeffects of active learning methods on student retention in an introductory engineering statisticsclass was carried out in two classes of students: one was with traditional lecture-based learning,and the other class was with group projects and cooperative learning-based

of integrating research experiences in a sequence of coursesthroughout the curriculum in a master's program has not been extensively studied in literature,especially in the Big Data and Data Analytics field. Much of the existing research on graduateSTEM education has focused on doctoral education programs. Our project proposes to fill this gap.The following research questions were asked: (1) Is cognitive presence reflected in the students'perception of the research modules? and (2) Do students perceive that the modules helped themapply research concepts and methods?Research Method DesignThis exploratory study used quantitative research methods to examine graduate students' perceivedcognitive presence and their perception of whether the
