c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Effects of Language on CATS PerformanceAbstractThe University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez (UPRM) is an officially bilingual university whereengineering classes may be taught in Spanish, English, or a combination of both languages.Spanish is the home language of 91% of undergraduates at UPRM. Because of low performanceon the Concept Assessment Tool for Statics (CATS) (around 29% compared to the results ofother institutions, which ranged from 30-70%), a Spanish version of CATS (CATS-S) wasdeveloped. Ten Hispanic senior civil engineering students were recruited and divided into twogroups, control and experimental. The control group was assigned the original CATS version

This educational motiveis achieved by permitting a simple way to enter Synchronous Machine (S/M) parameters andimmediately see interactive results all in the familiar software environment of MathCAD®. Avisual depiction of an axial cutaway view of a S/M is automatically produced and isaccompanied by a corresponding phasor diagram. To further enhance S/M understanding, thetool visually depicts changes to electrical and magnetic parameters as the user graduallyadvances through full

Intheir view, students become more motivated to learn and to develop technical skills when thelearning goes beyond the classroom. Therefore, service-learning was viewed as a value-addedteaching strategy to enhance student learning of engineering content. As such, they weremotivated to use service-learning

PAESMEM scholars’ valued mentoring practices, thepresent study has generated recommendations for mentors seeking to advance their mentees’efforts in STEM fields. Mainly, mentors should attempt to establish a caring and respectfulrelationship with the mentee. Mentors should also carefully balance the level of structure presentin the relationship so as to allow the protégé to maintain independence while still encouragingtheir success. More specific suggestions will require additional research to be performed on thepractices utilized by PAESMEM recipients.Bibliography1. Mueller, S. (2004).
