encourage students to spend more time assessing how well they understand the material (10).The conventional single-answer MC question can mask a student’s knowledge state from boththemselves and the educator (11). These assessments provide binary or dichotomous feedback:students get the right answer and full credit or the wrong answer and no credit. Students with lowknowledge states who randomly guess on a four-answer-choice question have an expected scoreequal to 25% of the total points. If the students can eliminate one or two answer choice(s), theirexpected score moves towards 50% of the total points. The downside for guessing is earningzero point while the upside is getting full credit. The mutually exclusive and collectivelyexhaustive nature
researchexperience can provide quick and valuable information for faculty mentors. Faculty mentors canuse this feedback to address with participants issues that may be influencing their learning ortheir thinking about future educational or career goals, and make adjustments to improve thelearning environment before the end of the experience.References 1.

) observing, (4)experimenting, and (5) networking. All of these, they argue, can be deliberately cultivated (asopposed to being innate). The broader category they use to describe the confluence of these skillsis "creative intelligence, which enables discovery yet differs from other types of intelligence[because it] engage(s) both sides of the brain.” Associating, which they define as “the ability tosuccessfully connect seemingly unrelated questions, problems, or ideas from different fields,” isthe culminating skill. They liken associating to “a mental muscle that can grow stronger by usingthe other discovery skills. . . .The more diverse our experience and knowledge, the moreconnections the brain can make.” The article is only seven pages long and is

Additional datafrom the participants would possibly offer more confirmation of our findings. Overall, our data provides preliminary evidence to support framing faculty developmentmodels around courses because it may lead to higher adoption rates of research-basededucational practices in engineering classrooms.References1.

examples of community needs as well as success storieswhere sustainability was considered. The group visited 6 different wineries (see Figure 4) tolearn about their processes, best practices and current issues with respect to sustainability. Theproduction of wine in Ensenada dates back to the early 1900’s when Russians from the Molokangroup established in the Guadalupe Valley. The quantity and quality of the wines has increaseddramatically in the last decades; this has brought an economic boom as it attracts tourism anddetonates other activities such as arts, sports, gastronomy, culture, entertainment and education.This growth challenges the resource in the region, specifically water.

discipline were more intense (larger dosage) than the discipline-specificsessions associated with the residential camps of 2014. Thus, it is possible that this larger dose ofcontent generally helped students identify with each discipline as a possible major/profession forthem. The second factor that might (also) explain this difference is that the campers in 2014attended all discipline-specific sessions, whereas students that attended the 2015 day camps self-selected into those days (disciplines) that they wanted to attend. Thus, it is possible that the 2015campers that attended each day had more self-identification with the discipline(s) associated withthe day(s) they chose to attend.

that are probably typical of many senior design programs. These included • A process that allowed some students to assume a large portion of the project system design while others minimized their contributions, resulting in variable learning, • A system that made it difficult to evaluate individual students’ work as a team member, • Inconsistent and sometimes untimely mentoring of technical design work because this occurred only as-requested by groups or after identification by another faculty member, also resulting in widely variable learning experiences, • A very heavy mentoring load for the year-long course instructor(s) that gave the course a reputation of being a highly undesirable assignment

’s two-sided of view of SoC design may have some drawbacks: Giventhe number of comments expressing frustration over certain aspects of the design, there may be arisk that the course discouraged some students from pursuing further study or employment inSoC work. If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future. I believe, however, that as I gain more experience teaching this course andaccumulate more sample projects and Zybo tutorials, students’ perceived experience willimprove. I also believe that students
