, taking courses that are taught by both CQUPT and NAU faculties. In their fourth year,qualified students transfer to NAU campus in Flagstaff, Arizona. Successful students receive twoBachelor’s degrees: one from NAU in EE or CE and the other from CQUPT in ElectronicInformation Engineering. As of Spring 2018, 27 students from the first cohort who went to NAUin their senior year have successfully graduated, and another 29 students from the second cohortare studying in NAU right now. In this paper, the current state of this joint program is presented,including course setup & planning, student transfer data, student performance during the senioryear at NAU, differences in teaching methodologies, and student learning styles. The successesas well as

Overview of the ASIPRES Internship ProgramA. Recruitment of Program ParticipantsThe ASPIRES interns were recruited through an online application process. Before the recruitingprocess starts, the faculty advisor of each research project prepared a description of the project aswell as required and recommended background knowledge needed for the research project. Theapplication package includes the applicant’s GPA, intended major, STEM courses completed,other skills, training and experience, a statement of academic plan, career goals, and researchinterests, and a statement

five female undergraduate students who have hadengineering internship experiences and are currently enrolled at a Large Public Southwestern R1Institution. The research project described in this work-in-progress paper details the plans toaccomplish the following research objective: to document and describe the industry experiencesof female engineering undergraduate students in relation to their learning experiences back in theclassroom. The narrative stories, which have not yet been constructed until the IRB is approvedfor data collection, are guided thematically by examining the female students’ perspectivesbefore, during, and after their internship experience. This paper serves to explore how thediffering experiences of classwork and

is shown in Fig.3. Whereas typical cybersecuritycompetitions focus mostly on the computer technical skils, with some teamwork and criticalthinking, the CCIC is designed with a much wider set of skills to be demonstrated.4.3 Stage 3: Timeline and evidence creationThe digital evidence trail is time consuming to create as each activity on a digital system is loggedin real-time. First, an evidence trail for our crime had to be planned out. This included emails,Skype calls, web browsing, document creation, photos, and other such common activities on acomputer. Some of these pieces of digital evidence were either hidden (placed on different harddrive partitions for instance) or encrypted (as a password protected .zip files). Then, to create

anxiety.The questions are scaled with anchors of 1, not true of me, to 7, very true of me. A higher averagescore corresponds to greater test anxiety.Time and Study Environment: This scale is another section of the MSLQ that seeks to evaluate astudent’s ability to manage time and regulate study environments. Included in this measure is astudent’s level of organization, scheduling, and planning. Time management can range fromsetting aside a night for studying to weekly and monthly scheduling. Study environment refers tothe setting where the student studies for class work. The ideal study environment for a student isorganized and free from distractions. The time and study environment section of our surveyincludes eight items, using the same Likert-scale

We hope that, in thefuture, different schools or community institutions will be involved in similar projects.In terms of future plan, there are chances to develop other service learning projects andcollaborative activities beyond our projects.As mentioned in section 2.4 outcomes (Ha Le), in August 2018, Cal Poly Pomona Associate VicePresident for Research visited the solar charging station and met with the GHS principal.

avoided by students. Turing Machines are mathematical models ofcomputation, which present some special challenges in teaching-learning environments, becausein addition to visual representations, some coded representations are also needed for importanttasks such as proofs [6, 13, 37]. Some of the multiple representations of Turing Machines are not asintuitive as visual representations and they involve additional work [6, 14]. Engaging students withmultiple representations of Turing Machines can be planned in a way that provides an initialintuitive understanding of the concepts through visual representation, and then more complexideas can be built with other representations. That is, complex concepts need to be developed ina progressive manner

WorkThe authors are committed to improving the quality of the videos, and will continue to revisethem. This includes developing videos illustrating the most challenging concepts usingexperimental demonstrations and digital arts that are typically difficult to achieve in lectureclassrooms.The authors plan to continue collecting data on the effectiveness of supplemental videos in futureofferings of the course, include other instructors to broaden the study, and to develop strategiesto influence students’ studying habits. In addition, longer term effects of the current videos willbe assessed. The authors intend to track and analyze post-video student performance in thesubsequent laboratory course, and compare with students without videos in ME 4061
