the Polar and Pathcoordinate systems in Figure 5 have been alluded to repeatedly as part of answering studentquestions, especially the fishing reel and swivel stool in that figure. This reinforcement seems tohave made the cartoons more meaningful.Future WorkSeveral ideas have been suggested on how to use these cartoons or measure their effectiveness.Some of the most interesting involve getting the students involved in their creation andencouraging them to be creative. A student “suggestion box” discussion board on the LMSmight be useful, so students can submit cartoon ideas or request the instructor draw particularconcepts. Having the students draw their own cartoons as part of a project or for extra credit isan interesting proposal. Even

3.4. The two students selected from this group areMary (African American female) and Geoffrey (Caucasian male). Mary earned D or “no pass”in her STEM courses, while Geoffrey passed or earned an A or B in the same courses.Mary: In her written assignments in the study skills course, Mary expressed an internal locus ofcontrol for her learning, yet she did not exercise self-regulation. Thus, though she did notalways follow through with her goals, she was aware that any shortcomings were her owndoing. For example, Mary made lists of the coursework and did projects on the importance ofmotivation and time management but struggled with following through. Lack of motivation,distractions, and ineffective prioritization of her responsibilities were

She received a CAREER award in 2010 and a PECASE award in 2012 for her project researching the stories of undergraduate engineering women and men of color and white women. She has received ASEE-ERM’s best paper award for her CAREER research, and the Denice Denton Emerging Leader award from the Anita Borg Institute, both in 2013. She was co-PI of Purdue’s ADVANCE program from 2008-2014, focusing on the underrepresentation of women in STEM faculty positions. She helped found, fund, and grow the PEER Collaborative, a peer mentoring group of

achievement, persistenceand transfer status to four-year colleges and universities, and (c) how in turn the students’propensity for innovation and creative problem solving affects such choices and persistence. Thispaper presents on four years of a multistage research project funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory researchdesign, which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successfultransfer from community college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’innovative capability influences such transfer capacity. The goals of this research are: (1) toexplore the pedagogical practices used to support non-traditional students in community

In the course of the beta focus group and upon reflection, we decided to make thefollowing changes to our procedure for the official focus group: 1. Because the experts often ranked questions as being between two levels of difficulty, e.g. between a “2” and a “3,” we determined that a scale of 1 - 10 would be more useful for

project products yielded similar findings: students who spent more effort onproblem scoping (i.e., gathering and synthesizing information to better understand a problem ordesign idea) tended to score higher in terms of client satisfaction [14]. These findings suggestboth the importance of problem scoping and the need for some focus on problem scoping inundergraduate education.While problem scoping is often associated with the beginning of a design process, problemscoping can occur throughout the design process. Several researchers have described design as aprocess where designer’s problem space (i.e., set of ideas about and understanding of theproblem) and solution space (i.e., the set of possible solutions and details about the possiblesolutions

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the

reading the paper yet, this title reminds me of our work in reflection inengineering and trying to capture/understand the language that students have. That was exactlymy reaction for some academic team projects where I knew the people I was assigned to andcould identify based on past experiences that we were not the strongest combination of students.This paper is also interesting to me because the tool already exists. CATME (similarly tomakerspaces) is currently being implemented in the engineering curriculum but as the abstractnotes, little is known about how these tools are applied and how students and instructorsperceive their use…[Paper 3] This paper was interesting to me because of makerspaces, informal engineeringactivity, potential for
