that the authorstend to hear with respect to the use of WeBWorK. Table 6: Survey Results Regarding Negative Feelings toward WeBWorKIn most areas, there were fewer negative feelings toward WeBWorK in the winter term than thefall term. This may be due to the more positive previous experience with WeBWorK among thestudents taking the course in the winter. A feeling that the problems are too difficult was notedfrom these data. Upon reflection, the authors concluded that many of the newly-crafted problemswere more on the difficult end of the scale, and more were needed at the easier end of the scaleto assist students in building their skills and confidence gradually. Additions to the problemlibrary addressing this concern have since been

reported general interest in resolving technical issues in the designstudio. Less than 30% of students claim that technical concerns are always a priority in their designwork. Figure 7 shows students’ perceptions of how important technical concerns are to their studiofaculty. These results are among the most emphatic in the whole survey. Approximately 15 % ofstudents agree with the statement that “Very few instructors think it is important” and 70% agreethat “Some instructors think it is important, others do not.” These perceptions (regardless ofwhether they are an accurate reflection of their studio instructors’ actual values) elicit concern.

In other words, what is the set of keyoutcomes one would like for their students to have possessed at the end of the learningexperience or even years after they have exited the learning process? For example, in theintroductory circuit course used for study three it was evident that students were expected tohave developed a certain level of engineering problem solving skills that could be translated toother complex learning experiences. The emphasis on working problems in the class or the use oflearning activities meant to provide more class time for working problems were also reflected instudies two

For the point/counterpointassignment in this experiment, the first team chose a case study that was related to the topic ofthe engineering class. The students were asked to write a point/counterpoint essay and discusstheir opinions in class. Upon completion of the point/counterpoint study, the students were askedto complete a survey to gauge how effective this method of ethics teaching was, as well asdetermine reactions to the assignment. In addition to the point/counterpoint assignment, the first team also developed a heuristicsassignment for the same senior-level class. A six step analysis method was adapted from varioussources10-13

However, the educational value and engineeringinsight are highly important along with learning to work in a team environment with diverse teammembers outside of their areas of study. This is reflected in a survey conducted with formerstudents who are now working as engineers in various engineering fields from defense analyst todesigner and flight test engineer. Two former students are working in the UAS field, although atthe time of this writing they had not responded. These former students are either in the privatesector, government contractor, or

In addition, participants universally expressed increasedinterest in STEM education and subsequent careers, and reported a sense of “belonging” to theirchosen labs, which can be interpreted as academic integration.

scale ranges from 1-10 and thereforeeach scale value reflects a 10% change). The data are also not ratio data, since zero is not a possible rating(a student would only receive a zero if they did not present their work, in which case there would be nopeer evaluation). This restricts the types of analysis that can be applied to the data, and reduces thesensitivity of any conclusions (Trochim, 2006). Nonetheless, interesting conclusions regarding bias andpotential cronyism can be drawn when we organized the ratings into ranges and looked at the frequencyof ratings in each range, as discussed below.Given the small amount of data and that reliability has been studied extensively, we chose to investigateto what extent students used the entire range

Reflecting on this after the semester, itwas a mistake to attempt what might be called a partial flip. He agreed to take of EI because hewas given the opportunity to teach a well-developed flipped course. He also was building on hisexperience from the earlier course. The fundamental reason why he was interested is based onreading papers and forming a conviction that his time with the students is best served helpingthem get past difficulties by learning how they approach problems. Then he is able to help themdetermine where there are gaps in their knowledge and how to use the course resources to bridgethose gaps. A lecture isn’t

requirements.ConclusionIn conclusion, public educational institutions are responsible for educating students in a safe andeffective environment. Across the US, the number of female students engaging in PLTW doesnot reflect the population as a whole. Therefore, women will continue to be underrepresented inthese programs unless measures are taken. Offering all-female PLTW cohorts have proven theirsuccess to attract and retain more female students. Though the evidence is clear, all-femalePLTW cohorts are slow to be adopted. There is a fear that single-sex education in a mixedsetting gives preferential treatment and an unfair advantage to some students. However, withoutthese interventions, the representation of women in PLTW and engineering programs willincrease
