testing week.There is a spike in student motivation. Many students share that they enjoy finally being able tobegin building their project. During the Week 7’s construction week, many report struggles,setbacks and trouble with coding, resulting in a decrease in motivation. Week 8 is the lastconstruction and testing week. Some teams report their design starts functioning properly whileothers still struggle to get it to work. Week 9 is the presentation and demo day. Many reflect theyenjoy growing together as a team, have fun building the project and learn a lot. Some complainabout uncooperative team members and challenges of the project. 7 6 Self-Determination Index (SDI

EGEE-420 EGEE-445Figure 2. The achievement gap between URM and non-URM students in all ECS disciplines. The performancedemonstrates a perpetuation of the achievement gap in lower-division math and science courses that continued intheir senior years. The net result of this achievement gap is a delayed graduation rate. Figure 3 shows the 4-,5- and 6-year graduation rates for URM and non-URM ECS students at CSUF. It appears thatthere is an upward trend over the years in the graduation rate of both URM and non-URMstudents. However, the graduation rate of URM students still lags the graduation rates of generalstudent peers.Figure 3. The perpetuation of achievement gap reflected in the overall graduation rate of

. By the end ofthe semester, 75% of the students reported being satisfied with their assigned teams while 7%were not satisfied (there was decrease in the number of students with neutral opinions).Overall, these results are very encouraging, since it reveals an overall positive perception and itdoes not reflect a drastic change of opinion as the semester progresses. Indeed, based on anecdotalfeedback, instructors have noticed a decrease in the number of interpersonal conflict within thestudent teams compared with previous versions of this course. Unfortunately, the instructors didnot collect any data prior to the use of junto for a more rigorous comparison.Figure 2: Survey results illustrating student’s perception about the team selection and

First, unlike mostU.S. research institutions with a seperate college of engineering, CSE grants degrees in thephysical sciences, math, computer science, and engineering. Students in science and math areless encouraged by their course curriculum to seek out the use of design and prototypingresources so those students need additional programming and attention if the Anderson Labs is tomore closely reflect the diversity of the college as a whole.

objective is to make the hook from stainless steel so it does not rust or stain the tools. AVernier Calipers were made available to students to measure tools and hooks dimensions. Theinstructors explained how to read a Caliper.The students should make 3-4 hooks (figure 5) for a separate tool. Each student has to make hisown design, reflecting his creativity and his own imagination. 3D-printing of these hooks is agood exercise to test them on a real pegboard. A more in-depth analysis is performed, such asheat transfer through the hook, and stress analysis (figure 6) to test the strength of the hooks tohold the objects they were designed to support and search the weaknesses of such an object.

person holds the idea that they are incapable of achieving success in a math class, they have a “fixed” mindset about math. These students place themselves at risk of failure because they do not work towards growing in their understanding of mathematics [9]. A person’s dislike for math often occur during the beginning stages of school [9]. Moreover, one’s dislike and uncomfortableness towards math may remain with a person for many years and can lead to a lack in self-confidence by hurting one’s rationale and thoughts [4]. Possessing a fixed mindset can hinder one’s potential for math success as this mindset lacks self-reflection and embracing new ways of learning [3]. A person with a fixed

Onecurrent type of violation is contract cheating, first coined by Lancaster and Clarke in 2006, whichinvolves paying a third-party to complete an assignment instead of the student enrolled in theclass [4]. Some researchers have even discovered “ghost students,” in which a fee is paid foranother person or company to enroll in an online course for an entire semester on behalf ofsomeone else [5]. Even though contract cheating and ghost-students are extremely severeviolations because of the awareness of the deviousness of the act, the underlying motivations forthese types of violations often reflect the same causes as other forms of academic integrityviolations [4].Students have cited a variety of motivations for engaging in academic

Therefore, the data should reflect some averaging. For example, if oneinstructor taught sustainability well and with enthusiasm in one class, while another taught thetopic poorly, then the responses of students from one class should offset the responses from theother class when the data is pooled.Summary and Conclusions A survey-based study of first-year engineering students was conducted at the University ofNew Haven to determine their personality types and interest in topics such as visualization

This knowledge helps createsbalanced teams which is critical to ensuring healthy competition in the fourth phase. During the competition, teams assume the identity of a design-build firm, dividing upindividual roles by sub-discipline as outlined previously. Team leaders are charged withproviding overall guidance and ensuring the final products reflect a fully coordinated design andconstruction plan between sub-disciplines. Teams compete to “win” the job by having the mosttechnically sound approach and best integrated design.

The question is not, How can I specify projects that will familarize students with thecourse content? but rather, How can I design projects that will help students find their role inpromoting their own learning and that of their classmates?

DiscussionBy fall 2019 semester, about 260 students had participated in the online survey, 68.92% male,and 30.28% female and 0.8% identified as other. The online survey addressed pre-college,family background, campus life and faculty interaction, peer interaction, extra-curricularactivities, internship experience, and social life. Charts reflecting this data can be seen inAppendix C. Of those surveyed, 41.67% were Mechanical Engineering students, 13.33% wereBiomedical Engineering, 18.33% Civil Engineering, 16.67% Chemical Engineering, 8.33%Electrical Engineering, and 1.67% Engineering Entrepreneurship.When surveyed about family background, almost 29.49% of the participants responded that theyhad an immediate family member in the engineering field.
