peers who completed the step-by-step version (p<0.05, d=0.32). Students who are generally weaker on this material, as judged bytheir eventual overall score in this course, tended to be helped more by the open-ended version ofthe lab than students who are generally stronger on this material. This outcome suggests thathaving to design their own experimental protocol may make students more likely to understandor remember all steps involved in particular data reduction tasks. When possible, instructorsshould avoid giving students unnecessarily detailed instructions.References[1] J. S. Bruner, “The Art of Discovery,” Harvard Educational Review 31 (1961): 21–32[2] W. S.

A survey for junior students was also administered in Spring 2017 and will be administered in the Spring semesters of subsequent years. This survey broadly examines student engagement and classroom climate in the College of Engineering. The goal is to determine if there are changes in juniors’ experiences pre-/post-implementation of ISE-2.

Recruitment, Mentoring and Retention through the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarship Program1. IntroductionThe overarching goal of the Aerospace and Industrial Engineering (ASPIRE) Scholarshipprogram is to improve recruitment and retention of aerospace engineering (AE) and industrial(IE) engineering students. With support from the NSF S-STEM program, the ASPIRE programprovides scholarships to academically talented, full-time AE and IE students with demonstratedfinancial need. The ASPIRE program enhances the educational experience of ASPIRE studentsthrough mentoring and networking events. The objectives of the ASPIRE program are to: • Prepare students for the workforce. • Provide educational
engagement of industry mentors with the students has increased the number ofinternships with the region. The interaction of students in competitions motivates the students totake on more challenging projects in STEM areas than they would engage in with traditionalcourses. Finally, having students carry out lessons and activities builds self-confidence andspeaking skills.References1.

a 5-point rubric yielding total scores between 0 and 16for each. Cohen’s d (effect size) was calculated ([3]: (µ1-µ2)/s), and average post-quiz scoreswere compared by paired t-test or repeated-measures ANOVA. Students’ self-recorded videoswere coded for the quality of their interactions as described by [1]. Two factors were varied: (1) the scaffolding (instructions) given to the students and (2)whether students watched a dialogue video or monologue video. Statistical analyses of thenumber of interactive episodes for each group are performed (by coding interactions observed inthe students’ self-recorded videos) to test the hypothesis that students watching dialogue videoshave more interactive episodes and higher learning gains than
