Evaluation #1occurred at the same time as those offerings that did not include asset activities (Pre). As shownin Figure 2, evaluation ratings were at a similar level to ratings in the offerings prior to assetactivities (Pre), also suggesting that the additional time may have contributed synergisticallywith asset-based activities to achieve higher peer evaluation ratings.Future plans to collect additional feedback will deepen our understanding of the impact andvalue of asset-based activities on all students in our senior level team-based design course.Additionally, further studies are needed to investigate how to effectively scaffold theundergraduate curriculum with equity-minded team dynamics instruction.References[1] Choi, J.

Thisneuro-ecological approach extends the classical cognitive design engineering framework (skills-,rules- knowledge-based) and includes personal student attributes that are important in thework/design environment. The new framework is not a predictive model of student learning,rather, it describes the neuro-ecological learning processes of students and their designenvironment.The novel pedagogy presented in this study aims to better meet the complex needs of today’sstudents as they plan and implement their senior design projects. The pedagogy incorporates thenovel concepts of affordance, emotion and intuition into traditional knowledge-, skills-, andrules-based teaching approaches to support student learning. Although

Beyond supporting instructors’ planning of PBL,we envision that the materials instructors produce when using this toolkit might contribute todiscussion and the sharing of PBL materials among fellow engineering instructors. ImplementingPBL into the classroom presents an opportunity to provide rich, authentic engineering experiencesfor students, but implementation is a notoriously difficult task [3], [4]. We envision a future whereeducators collaborate in the sharing of PBL resources with their peers, thereby lowering thebarriers to adoption.

The NSF was petitioned to add her as a co-PI, which was approved in February 2024.The change in grant personnel, as well as other personnel turnover at SFSC, has presentedsignificant obstacles to the implementation of the grant. An example of this difficulty is that inthe grant application, the director of the college’s quality enhancement plan (QEP) was taskedwith overseeing the faculty mentorship program, including developing mentoring practices,maintaining program guidelines, and facilitate training to the program faculty on the mentorshipprogram.
