considering writing a Faculty Early CareerDevelopment (CAREER) proposal for the National Science Foundation. The paper focuses onthree topics that could be considered part of the “hidden curriculum” of successful proposalwriting for this program: situating your project within your vision for your academic career,communicating effectively with program officers, and developing a support network for yourproposal writing. Examples of career visions are included from Engineering Education CAREERawardees. Writing prompts are included to help prospective investigators develop their owncareer visison.Keywords: NSF CAREER, proposal writing, program officer, career visionIntroductionThe Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) competition is a unique program

project management; and 12) Life-long learning,where every one of them can be measured as introduced (I), developed (D), or applied (A) [6].The school of engineering currently requires the instructor of every course to map the courseoutline learning outcomes to the graduate attributes. This can be a one-to-one or many-to-one,but not many-to-many relationship. Also, every learning outcome is ideally evaluated in two ormore assessment items (e.g., quiz or exam questions, laboratory assignments) or other learningand teaching activities. Basically, evaluating students’ performance for a specific learningoutcome is used for measuring their achievement level for the corresponding graduate attribute.If, for a particular graduate attribute, a certain

. Meeting deadlines, despite the students being given a detailed due datematrix, was the biggest challenge observed by the instructors. The data analysis assignment wasthe assessment students most likely did not meet the minimum B+ level to earn credit. This islikely due to poor time management and underestimating the amount of work required tosatisfactory complete data analyses. One co-author also implemented specifications grading to assign grades forundergraduate researchers in the lab. In a given semester, 15-30 students participate inundergraduate research in the lab in question working on projects that are undergraduate-ledrather than shadowing a graduate student. The broad course objectives include (1) studentsdeveloping skills in

systematic way of thinking havealso been used – leading to student performance being measured by project results [7] [16]. Thismethod of learning is beneficial in face-to-face situations where students may engage in groupactivities. But it becomes more challenging to replicate in online courses. There is evidence thatthe CIQ is widely used in various levels of education [5, p. 177], but there is only limitedevidence of how the CIQ is used in engineering online teaching environments. Keefer describesthe pedagogical value of this type of research: “We want to better understand the experiences and perceptions of the student learners, for the more we can understand them, the more we can teach in ways that may meet their needs” [5

, faculty get more teaching credit for teaching larger classes. For example,the author’s department used to have a rule that a class of more than 100 students counted as 1.5classes. This allows the instructor to focus on fewer classes and do a better job on those, whilehaving more time for research.Large classes are a boon to recruitment. An instructor of a large class becomes known to a lotmore students, and these students are more likely to consider working with them later on. Youmay become their graduate advisor, or advisor for an undergraduate research project. A largeclass is also a great place to recruit for independent-study students who may assist one of yourresearch projects or generate resources for later offerings of the same course. The

motivation to learning through domain-based problems[23]. One way proposed in literature [22] for bringing computational activities to students is byembedding them within STEM coursework that students are already required to take. We believethat engaging students through their existing STEM courses is a strategy that is much more likelyto succeed in increasing the interest and appeal of computational thinking.In another study [21] experimental activities related to statistics and mathematical projects keptstudents motivated and actively engaged in the process of learning, problem solving anddeveloping a better intuition for understanding complex mathematical concepts. The majority ofstudents appreciated this hands-on experience as a useful one, not

opportunity to lead a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Principles of Engineering (PoE) course which is a project-based learning survey of the engineering discipline. Since the Summer of 2015 I have been privileged to work with the Texas A and M Sketch Recognition Lab (TAMU SRL) to evaluate two online tutorial tools (Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS)) currently under development, Mechanix and Sketchtivity, that provide immediate constructive feedback to the students and student-level metrics to the instructors. I presented on this work at the state and national PLTW Conventions and at CPTTE in 2016. I also spent 5 semesters beginning the Fall of 2015 in online courses learning how to construct and deliver online courses

on course projects (in Statics) has improved. These projects require students to essentially create their own engineering problem from a real-world example, and to perform a parameter study of the important aspects of their chosen system. While this improvement cannot be definitively linked directly to the use of MHP, it is plausible that having students work more independently on their homework may improve their ability to formulate a new problem.At OSU… - Overall, students seemed to appreciate a homework policy where they had to support their answers with written work, as compared to a policy that only required entry of the correct answer into the online system. Several of the students

self-directed learners who make intentional choices about theiracademic endeavors. Prior research highlights the role of educators in designing active learningclassrooms [1], promoting a reflective culture [2], [3], and using project-based curriculum [4] tosupport student learning. We ask, what are smaller, more attentive opportunities for students todesign their own active learning experience within classroom settings? We take a provocativeapproach to supporting engineering student learning through visual notetaking.Visual notetaking is a method of representing ideas without always relying solely on words.Notetaking offers a large design space and opens up opportunities for metacognitiveconversations about student learning. Further, visual

engineering dynamics course.Students were no longer using HW effectively for developing their analytical skills. A system ofassessment based primarily on correctness led to high HW scores without improving testperformance. Does the broad availability of solutions to HW problems demand a new model forHW? How could HW be redesigned to prioritize interactive student learning over assessment?Solutions/Literature ReviewNumerous new approaches to Homework have been adopted in recent years. Many of thesedirectly address this changing landscape. Karimi and Manteufel looked at several methods:These efforts included creating novel homework problems, using more quizzes and exams,having students engage in class with response clickers, project assignments
