courses, and opportunities for professional development and personal experiences. ○ A 3-minute presentation on their current graduate research. Graduate students were asked to follow the format and delivery guidelines of 3MT competitions. They had to tailor their presentation for a general, non-expert audience. Each presentation was followed by a Q&A session with the undergraduate students toenable graduate students to receive feedback on their presentation’s clarity, visuals, contentquality, and communication skills. The graduate students were, indeed, asked to present at least twice these two deliverables.They had then the opportunity to implement the obtained feedback and improve

As the course progresses, students read scientific articles within a tool embedded in the LMS that allows asynchronous, collaborative commenting and Q&A among the students and instructor, thereby scaffolding students’ learning while allowing them flexibility in scheduling.● Synchronous class sessions are not lecture-based; rather, the instructor prioritizes activities that leverage real-time feedback and collaboration, e.g., discussion of students’ questions from pre-class work, small group activities to help students synthesize knowledge, and preparation for upcoming project milestones.

We conducted a directassessment of each defined learning outcome for the course. Each module has an assessment thatis aligned with the learning outcome identified. For that module, the student performance oneach evaluation is translated into the defined learning outcomes for the short course. The learningobjectives were translated into a PowerPoint presentation and a brief Q&A session, followed bythe second questionnaire assessment.

Three examiners are assigned to eachexam, two of which have familiarity with the EDS’ research area. A 5–6 page proposaldescribing research to be done in the next ~1 year is submitted ahead of time to the examiners asbackground reading, but is not part of the assessment. The exam takes an oral, closed-door,format of 55-min. length: the first 10 min. is a presentation given by the student (also for contextbut not assessed); the remaining 45 min. are for Q&A directed by the examiners.

This procedure is not as overly conservative as the Bonferronicorrection and is generally preferred when there is a large number of comparisons being made[33]. The Benjamini–Hochberg procedure involves ordering the p-values from the testsperformed, starting with the smallest value up to the largest. We index them starting at i=1 up tothe number of p-values (or equivalently, the number of tests performed, m). For each p-value, wecalculate the quantity: Q(i)=iα/m. Then, we find the largest p

Pre-camp prepvideos and detailed instruction guides were also developed and provided, covering experimentalprocedures, STEM concepts, and Q&A sections that teachers could later adapt to enhanceclassroom engagement. The kits engaged participants in hands-on activities, teaching conceptssuch as how batteries, electrolyzers, and fuel cells work, equipping them with knowledge todesign cleaner technologies.

We used a paired Mann-Whitney U test to evaluate if there weresignificant differences in the recognition measure across the semester.
