The second, third, and fourth surveys contained short versionsof each scale. The fifth survey was comprised of short scales for the mindset measures and acomplete scale for engineering identity. Only the means of the short scales were used in theseanalyses.To measure engineering identity, items from Chemers’ science identity survey were adapted toengineers (Chemers et. al., 2010; Estrada et. al., 2011). The engineering identity measurecontained items such as, “Being an engineer is an important reflection of who I am.” Responsesranged from a scale of 1

In 5 of the 12questions analyzed, the intervention group showed positive improvement after participated in theTeaching Circle (Table 3). From our first analysis using linear regression, while the controlgroup had significantly decreasing scores before and after term 0 for two questions (Questions 15and 23), the intervention group did not reflect this decreasing trend in scores. In one other case,the Intervention After scores were significantly greater than those of the Control After

progress through theSTEM pipeline also depends on the types of opportunities, experiences, and support studentsreceive while in college (Chang, Eagan, Lin, & Hurtado, 2011; Espinosa, 2011). “Theeducational experience and the culture of the discipline (as reflected in the attitudes and practicesof faculty) make a much greater contribution to [STEM] attrition than the individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors” (Chang, Sharkness, Hurtado, & Newman,2014). In addition to the academic and social supports deemed essential for studentpersistence and transfer, there appear to be some specific recommendations that encourageSTEM students in particular to persist, transfer, and ultimately complete a STEM degree

However, when combining students fromboth of these program we develop teams that more closely reflect professional design teams. Theability to successfully implement complex design and build projects is enhanced.This paper outlines the design of a program at Western Carolina University (WCU) thatculminates with a senior capstone project for industry.

engineering departments themselves remain pri-marily concerned with how design directly impacts their teaching and interactions with students.As architects, engineers, and planners for more than a dozen collegiate engineering-departmentbuildings in the past decade, SmithGroupJJR has helped develop a series of best practices re-lated to facility design in this new era. While not the only firm to explore them, SmithGroupJJRhas organized these new best practices into five distinct trends that encourage active participa-tion, collaboration, and even spontaneity, reflecting an underlying ethic of student engagementfrom the freshman level up. We present them here, provide real-world examples from Smith-GroupJJR’s portfolio, and also propose methods of

One aspect of scaffolding was initial use of a DAQ system to record a singlesignal of data and later using the same system with modifications to record multiple signals ofdata. Another aspect of scaffolding was that measurements in early experiments could be recordedwithout an overall plan for the order in which they should occur. Experiment 3 introduced therequirement that the order in which data was collected must be decided in advance as data collectedout of order would not reflect the desired impact of hysteresis.

Therefore, you are tasked to design an inexpensive, easy to use, easy to assemble, durable, and low maintenance water purification system using low cost, readily available materials to quickly remove contaminants from water. You will focus on reducing the turbidity of a sample of water. Testing Performance Turbidity is a measure of the lack of clarity (cloudiness) of water and is a key test of water quality. Turbidity is apparent when light reflects off of particles in the water. Some sources of turbidity include soil erosion, waste discharge, urban runoff, and algal growth.

foreach user’s account (Figure 2). Although this is an imperfect metric since students often watchvideos together and this is logged only in one student’s account, students who benefit from theability to re-watch lecture material would presumably have a large number of video watchesand/or a large cumulative duration of video watching. Figure 2 shows that contrary to ourhypothesis, students who spend the most time watching videos do not perform better thanstudents who watch the assigned videos only once (59 videos, 17.6 hours). It is, however,important to note that the number of videos watched probably only reflects video loads, andwould not capture multiple watches of the same segment, so there could still be a hiddencorrelation, but this data
