of teaching by repeating lines or drawings which has definitely helped me with my problem of having uneven lines in my sketches and overall confidence in my ability as an artist.”  “The most beneficial features of the app were easily-to-navigate modules, and the bridge game. I could see younger students playing the in-app game and improving their drawing skills without even knowing it! The Sketchtivity app proved to be very fun and beneficial to an engineering curriculum.”  I thought the lessons would be boring because we were taught how to draw and stay inside a picture in elementary school, but the program used a red shade to criticize each drawing and gave you a score. This kind of criticizing made each

. After each student drew their unique and creativeicons, we worked together to cluster the kinds of icons created. We decided to make an iconbooklet, which still exists today and is shared among our department (Figure 2). In these ways,our curriculum was co-constructed among all seminar participants. Figure 2. Examples of icons created during the seminarSeminar Characteristics. Certain seminar characteristics were not directly connected to thecurriculum but influenced the overall educational experience. To start, throughout the process wewere transparent and honest with students that we would be actively be collectively makingsense of the experience. This transparency set the expectation for everyone that we wouldcollectively

engagement in the learning process, theinstructor decided in summer 2019 to embed weekly CIQs in the course. Her initial thought was,the CIQs would encourage students to reflect on their learning while informing the instructorabout the students’ learning experiences. The data collected by the instructor indicated studentsbiggest frustration was with 1) the first site visit report (course assignment requiring that theyapply sustainability evaluation on a real site), and 2) with the amount of new knowledge theyacquired.The CIQ was offered as an integrated part of a five-week long online course, offered to studentsfrom three majors: construction management, architecture, and agricultural engineering. Studentscompleted the CIQ each Friday. Qualitative

thatrequires faculty to develop a special kind of proposal. At its core, a CAREER proposal is acareer development plan that incorporates integrated research and education plans. TheCAREER program is a foundation-wide activity that offers NSF’s most prestigious awards forfaculty members beginning their independent careers (NSF 20-525). Awardees are expected topresent an integrated research and education plan that will provide the foundation for theircareers as researchers and educators.The goal of this paper is to serve as a resource to help principal investigators (PIs) developCAREER proposals for any division at the National Science Foundation (NSF). The content ofthe paper is based on my recent experience as an NSF program officer (2017-2019) in

Another study by [6] presents an overview of thechanges proposed to transform the teaching of computing to engineering students. The studyestablished that most of the time the beneficial problem-solving techniques and ComputationalThinking skills are lost through traditional programming courses. traditional programmingcourses are ineffective in transferring usable knowledge to students. This lose is partly due to thedisconnect between introductory
