Comments from students over the three years of the course are used tohighlight specific learning outcomes. ● “Perhaps my view was too idealistic at the start of the course, but I am now at least aware that despite the best of intentions, many factors have to be well thought out before a large-scale project can help those in need sustainably. Furthermore, I am now aware of practical ways to account for the needs of project beneficiaries and ensure these

learning for a large introductory mechanics course using mobile phone data capture and peer feedbackAbstractProject-based learning (PBL) has been shown to result in many benefits, including improvedconceptual understanding and enhanced skills in communication, teamwork, and creativity, allwidely acknowledged to be core capabilities for engineers. However, implementations of PBLfrequently rely on large course staffs or small class sizes to be effective. In this paper we present aPBL implementation strategy used in an introductory dynamics course at the University of Illinoisat Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), which scales up to 500 students per term. This large-scale usageof PBL relies on two key implementation

previousNational Science Education Standards (NRC, 1990), The Framework and the NGSSoutline a learning progression of science and engineering practices for which studentsshould develop increasingly complex skills as they progress from early elementarythrough high school. Moreover, The Framework and the NGSS outline grade level andgrade band performance expectations related to engineering design. As a result,students are expected to engage in engineering design projects and engineering-relatedproblems in their science coursework. In an effort to address the need for high quality K12 engineering curricula, wedeveloped, implemented, and piloted the Biomedical Engineering Curriculum (BMEC, apseudonym for our program). BMEC curricula apply mathematics

Responses to the problem of struggling students have beenvaried; the following is a coarse literature review of some responses in order to position ourwork. Traditional quantitative retention research has documented the magnitude of the problemand clarified large-scale inequities in access to higher education in STEM based on gender, race,socioeconomic status (for example, Ong et al. and Seymour and Hewitt)2,3.

This paper discusses the challenges associatedwith transitioning traditionally discipline-siloed projects to multidisciplinary projects using VIPas the catalyst. Said another way, we describe the ongoing lessons learned of changing themindset of students (and faculty) from “you’re electrical engineering, I’m mechanicalengineering” to “we’re engineering”.In Fall 2015, the VIP Program at the University of Hawai‘i consisted of six VIP teams: threecomposed primarily of EE students, one composed of ME students, and two with a mix ofengineering students.

In the short term, we anticipateincreased technology proficiency, STEM engagement and academic achievement. Additionaloutcomes include increased teacher and mentor understanding of STEM instruction delivery andmentorship. This presentation will provide evaluation results and lessons learned during the firstyear of this project, including the effects of strategies, such as mentorship and early exposure touniversity-based STEM resources. Recommendations for developing a prototypical process fordeveloping programs that broaden participation of underrepresented students will also bediscussed.IntroductionIn many
