statements from the students about thelectures they attended and the assignments they completed. The value of these learning statementsis anchored in that instructors and teaching assistants can analyze the learning statements andunderstand what students have individually and collectively learned and whether the outcome isin keeping with what the instructors planned. One option to do this is to have instructors andteaching assistants manually read the learning statements and assess student learning. The keydisadvantage of this option is that manually dealing with a huge amount of text-based data (12,000learning statements per semester) is labor-intensive and time-consuming. We did this for the firsttwo years and found that maintaining consistency in
in astudy by Anagnos, Lyman-Holt, Marin-Artieda and Momsen [15]. The study was grounded inthe premise that ambassadors would benefit from self-efficacy for outreach and its associatedcomponents, including engineering knowledge and professional communication skills. Most ofthe 51 ambassadors responded that they perceived gains in skills to motivate others, resolveinterpersonal conflicts, adjust when things were not going to plan, manage time, engage inteamwork, explain technical concepts, and speak in front of an audience. Ambassadors’confidence in their abilities was also high as a result of participating in outreach. Longer time inthe ambassador program and more senior roles were associated with high rates of studentagreement that they had
student’s time as an undergraduate student. But the cost for a student toattend Tapia is high. In 2020, the student registration fee alone will be $500.Responses to post surveys show that Tapia is at least as effective as GHC in achieving its goalsfor students. Students consistently report being inspired to complete degrees in computing atrates of over 80%, and of having made new connections and learned about new opportunities incomputing at rates of over 90% [24].4 The CDC merged with the CMD-IT in 2016.5 Two cities have hosted Tapia twice—Atlanta (2003, 2017) and Orlando (2007, 2018); Houston, thelocation of Tapia 2001, will host it for the second time in 2020.6 Charts in this figure are from the Tapia 2019 Academic Plan II Benefits Brochure
conceptual knowledge and skills required to solve suchproblems, the lab portion of AGEN 352 was redesigned by incorporating PBL-basedcollaborative activities. The implemented changes were expected to achieve the followingoutcomes required by ABET, which are especially challenging to achieve in a traditional lecture-based learning environment: • An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions • An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as
education to enhance curricula andpedagogy. The fourth and final workshop was held at Lawrence Technological University inSouthfield, Michigan, September 28-29, 2019. This workshop differed from the first three in thatit was a stand-alone event, in contrast to the conference affiliations of the other workshops,allowing more time to consider the topics in greater depth.At the conclusion of each workshop, participants completed an online survey intended to assesstheir expectations of, and experiences in, the workshop, as well as their plans for implementingMRE in their respective institutions. The final workshop produced another outcome – a set of draftinventories and commitments by the working groups to refine and publish their findings [10-14].4

Thetechnical practice was immediately useful for some students as described below: It has shown me how to use python and wireshark and even do some web dev. I plan to make my own website using some of this knowledge. I also appreciate learning so much material that I never even knew, now CS is not as intimidating Learned python and got experience using libraries that are crazy, and it helped refamiliarize me with git & git bash. I actually contributed to a GitHub repository because I felt somewhat confident. Been a few weeks now and there aren’t any comments bashing it! :D I have joined more CS activities like the Web

Furthermore, 87.5% of the students reported that the program increased theirinterest in pursuing scientific research as a career, and 91.67% of the students reported that itincreased their interest in obtaining a graduate degree.With advancements in hardware and open source software, the authors were able to develop anovel low-cost approach for introducing neuroscience, BME, and BCIs to high school students.Future work will expand the program to other BCI applications and developing online lecturemodules that complement the laboratory portion of the program. In addition, the authors plan tointroduce the program to other summer programs to assess its scalability and efficacy

Fromthe participants' interviews, benefits ranged from pension plans to educational plans for employees. Whileone manager noted that, in general, benefits have been improving recently, another participant noted thatthe removal of a pension plan had lowered the retention rate at their organization. It is clear that benefitsare unique to each company and the way they affect newcomers is influenced by both internal and externalfactors, as seen in the idea of competitive retention mentioned in the economy theme. • “A lot of people would say it's

coursework that they may not recall well (e.g., drafting and surveying) in addition torelying on sources of information with which they are not familiar (e.g., building codes,manufacturer’s data sheets, master plans). In short, in our capstone course there are manydeliverables that the students struggle to manage, especially since they may have otherchallenging coursework, and many are holding part-time jobs (e.g., with their co-op employers).Probably the most challenging part of the project is that it is done collaboratively in a team.While we do incorporate teamwork in previous coursework (e.g., lab reports), none of theprevious experiences are as intensive as in the capstone course. Some students struggle with timemanagement and procrastination

TheFinelli study result was “seldom” (mean of 1.58, s.d. 1.02). The other factors in the Behavioralquestion series did not reach statistically significant differences.Table 4 - This table compares our study responses to the Finelli study responses about the StudentBehavioral and Affective Response to Instruction. The students’ mean response in this study when theinstructor asked students to do in-class, non-lecture activities ranged from 3 (sometimes) to just over 4(often).
