The two-minute podium formatwas used to efficiently highlight the original thesis proposal and theme chosen by each team,while the poster format enabled the communication of more details regarding the individualoutreach activities proposed. Each team also worked collectively to create a two-page writtendocument that summarized their presentation and poster. To judge the effectiveness of thisknowledge translation activity, qualitative feedback was gathered from standard courseevaluations and extra voluntary questionnaires that asked students what they thought strengths ofthe course were and what area(s) they felt could be improved.

level of difficultyencountered by an author, in the same way that strength-of-schedule ratings are used indetermining rankings of FBS teams in college football.Most reputation systems [7–9] also include a measure for “spread,” the degree to which aparticular reviewer rates different work differently. Suppose the average rating for all students is4 on a scale of 1 to 5. Then a reviewer who answers “4” to every rubric item on every reviewmight well be close to the average score received by each author. But that reviewer would not bevery credible, because (s)he failed to distinguish between the quality of different pieces of work.So reviewers are given more credence if they have a higher spread.2.3 Rejoinders, or “back-reviews.” Just as reviewers

Additionally, students from both online and in-person sections will be invited to participate in focus group interviews to explore faculty-studentconnections and course enjoyment. Furthermore, a follow-up study will further assess theimpact on student outcomes, student motivation, effort regulation and self-efficacy between thein-person and online sections as part of a retention study.References[1] M.

In this paper, we will focus on our use of Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation Theory [27]and the KAI® (Kirton Adaption-Innovation inventory), which measures individual cognitive style[26]. We are also exploring the use of ABAKAS, a validated measure of engineeringinnovativeness based on Ferguson, et al.’s model of that construct [13, 14]; that work will bepresented in future publications. The individual cognitive style data provided by KAI was used inthe current study to supplement the team interaction data provided by IDN to develop a richerpicture of I-Corps™ team

For programming- or spreadsheet-focused lectures, we used Microsoft Excel,VBA within Excel, MATLAB, or Simulink as appropriate, and could readily switch the videocapture between the programming environment and the relevant PowerPoints as needed. Ourpractice of splitting the lectures led to typical segment lengths of 5 – 15 minutes, and total videocontent per class period of 30 – 40 minutes.From a delivery standpoint, we initially used a flipped model in the Y3NM class.

We conducted the surveys at the end of eachweek (iteration), determined the objective function value, analyzed the outcomes, and took necessaryactions to enhance the objective function value in the next iteration(s). Here, the objective function valuecomputed in an iteration indicates the overall performance of that iteration.

Demetry et al.[10] provide one example of such a framework, or “paradigm change,” that shifts thepedagogical approach from one of lassez-faire to one that provides intentional interventions“intended to foster intercultural learning among engineering and science undergraduates.”Demetry et al.’s [10] approach focused on developing two different types of project teams –mixed teams comprised of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) students and

research are available indicating the importance of integrating various skillsfrom the job market into the engineering curriculum. Chikumba, S. et al. discusses the benefit ofintegrating hard technical skills and technologies with the soft skills required by IndustrialEngineers to satisfy the marketplace [3]. The University of Florida produced a study on the“talent paradox” in which students cannot find jobs because they do not possess the skillsrequired by companies and companies cannot find the right employees because of the lack ofskills in applicants [4]. One article outlines a course for engineering students in their lastsemester. This course aims to bridge the skills gap from school to real life situations [5],[6]. TheU.S. Department of
