Through this startup experience, Jack has initiated problem based learning pilot programs enabled through interdisciplinary experiences, in engineering education and entrepreneurial training (e.g. The StartUp Class). Jack is also a Co-PI for the NSF I-Corps Mid Atlantic Regional Node (DC I-Corps) and is an instructor for both the Na- tional and Regional training programs guiding technical professionals through the Lean Startup approach. Jack serves on the Executive Board for the GEM National Consortium and on the Boards of Directors for The Commonwealth Center Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) and the Roanoke-Blacksburg Technology Center. c American Society for Engineering Education

belief surveys. One of the most commonly used measures is Fisherand Peterson’s Adaptive Expertise Beliefs survey [1]. As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores. However, researchers did not find significant differences between the two groups on anyof the individual Fisher and

Students were recruitedfrom courses with a hybrid instructional delivery with some students present on campus andothers attending live via web-based technology. All the participating students were part of avirtual team with at least two remote members.The implementation of the web-based tool and associated scaffolds required some course-specific customization because the nature of the class project, the

In addition to conducting research on color image fusion and real-time implementation of algorithms, she is the immediate past chair of the Middle Atlantic Section of the American Society for Engineering Education and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. She enjoys observing the intellectual and professional growth in students as they prepare for engineering careers.Dr. Cindy S Ziker, SRI International Cindy Ziker, Ph.D., M.P.H., is a Senior Researcher at SRI International’s Center for Technology in Learn
aloud protocol with another 12students, ages 8 and 9, participating in an engineering summer program for academically at-riskstudents at an urban school. Seven of the students were male and five were female; 9 were Blackand 3 were white.Sample and Procedure for Coding AssessmentsWe collected assessments from grades 3-5 students in 274 classes from 129 schools. In eachclass, teachers had just finished implementing one or more engineering units. Schools werelocated in three states on the east coast, one in New England, one in the Mid-Atlantic region, andone in the South. Half the students were male and half female.
