We have some pre-planned assignments, such as a moon weight calculator which asks for auser’s weight on earth and calculates his or her weight on the moon. We also build flexibilityinto the curriculum, incorporating student ideas whenever possible. For example, after workingon the moon weight calculator program, a student said “I wonder if we could use the same ideato come up with a sentencing calculator?”. The sentencing calculator involved accepting as input(a) an initial sentence duaration, (b) eligibility for “half time” and (c) if you were good and gotyour 10% “kick”. This program was exciting to create because we hadn’t yet discussed “if”statements. We had to work around

It is crucial for girls who aspire to STEM careers to have access to learning environments that engage them in scientific and mathematical practices and that support a growth mindset.

The new curriculum also offers three defined degree pathways that havebeen chosen based on an examination of student “fate” data: secondary education, pre-medical,and environmental studies, with additional pathways planned for the near future. The fateanalysis examined the paths of students who were enrolled in an engineering or STEM major inone year and samples their major choice in the following year. This analysis maps the flow ofstudents into and out of the major with demographic slicers to more closely understand these in-migration and out-migration choices.This paper will

A narrative arc is defined here as a student’sability to form a cohesive net of concepts, reasonings, and relationships that can be explainedwithout using formulae as a crutch. While being able to apply and understand mathematicalformulae is an invaluable tool for students, too often courses rely solely on the evaluation of themathematical formulae related to concepts instead of emphasizing the conceptual definitions andrelationships. This imbalance results in students being weak in the areas of explaining why andhow things happen using words and unable to formulate

In this work-in-progress, we describe the design and implementation of a novel curriculum that allows earlyengineering students to explore the interplay of diversity and ethics in an engineering context.Importantly, our curriculum can be incorporated into any engineering course, and thus serves asa model for educators in any engineering discipline.This work-in-progress describes student response to three rounds of pilot efforts [4] and how weare developing and implementing the first
