Dr. Peeples has mentored a di- verse group of high school, undergraduate and graduate students including three high school students, 64 undergraduate and 13 graduate students, and three postdoctoral fellows in her biochemical engineering laboratories. Five of her current and former doctoral students are underrepresented minority students who are also U. S. citizens, and four are U.S. women. Several of her graduate and undergraduate student re- searchers have won local, regional and national awards for their work. As the first Associate

Another new source of competition for student interest is an enlarged and well-equipped makerspace called the Laboratory for Interconnected Devices, or LID(http://psu-epl.github.io). The LID provides access to 3D printers, a laser cutter, smallCNC routers for making circuit boards, and a variety of tools for assembling and testingelectronic devices. The LID also provides a community gathering space for likemindedstudents. While it is reasonable to assume that the LID would incubate ideas for BetaProject proposals, the LID also makes it easy for students do ad-hoc work on independentprojects without needing to develop a proposal for

attention to othermore pressing coursework (a rational allocation of limited student time). When time for the examscame, many students tended to cram – trying to recall and re-master about 30% of the coursecontent in the space of a night or two. Aside from the mental strain of this process, the studentsalso tended to stay up late into the night preparing for these exams, meaning they were tired whenthey took these exams.This was due, in part, to the workload placed on students during the term when they most typicallytake this Strength of Materials course. This course is taken by second-semester sophomorestudents, along with a corequisite laboratory course and an additional 11 engineering credits. Thegeneral purpose of both of the latter course

A mastery goal is aimedat you becoming a master at something and not becoming a top performer based on someextrinsic measures. So instead of trying to get an “A” in a course on innovation, you innovate inreal life and add value to appropriate stakeholders. This ensures that your satisfaction or self-worth does not depend on external indicators, which may be beyond your control.Locke and Latham have evidences of goals increasing performances in more than 100 differenttasks involving more than 40,000 participants in eight countries while working in laboratory,simulation

By implementingTBWA, faculty can interact with every student in the class in an informal manner as each student/ student-pair work at their own pace. Students receive individual attention and can receiveimmediate feedback as they work.During the ECE-322 annual continuous improvement cycle, it was suggested that the existingmixed-mode format and TBWA style could easily be adapted into a MOOC [6]. In turn, theMOOC could serve as an interactive textbook that integrates many components such as readings,video lectures, homework assignments, self-assessments, quizzes, laboratory projects, and
