Since some of the students in the class were also involved instudent organization activities such as the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE), the class gave those students the tools needed to work onprototyping designs for group projects.The plans for modifications during future offerings of the course include the potentialincorporation of a second software tool such as EAGLE. Once the basic design principles arecovered, the plan is to have students design the same board using two different software: Onewith KiCAD and one with EAGLE (or another tool). This is

A learning activity and a lifelong learning focused post activity survey are discussed.BackgroundFor the purposes of this paper, lifelong learning may be thought of as a personal plan forattaining additional competences in terms of knowledge, skills, and abilities throughout one’scareer and where these competences may be obtained through both formal and informal study.One approach to lifelong learning could be that the person would set their own goals anddetermine the needed competences, acquire access to needed materials, and monitor their ownprogress toward attaining these competences, and potentially modify these goals or set new goalsas they progress throughout
national PreK-12 science curriculum. Career and TechnicalEducation (CTE) programs often collaborate with community colleges to offer dual credit engineeringcourses. Additionally, some universities offer for-credit, engineering summer school courses to highschool students. Two Advanced Placement (AP) computer science courses are currently taught in highschools and plans are underway for an AP engineering course. As these dual credit programs develop, itis important to understand how they prepare the pathway to an undergraduate engineering major,particularly if they are designed to replace the on campus introduction to engineering course. Universityengineering first-year programs are critical to the retention and success of engineering students in

From thefeedback instructors received from course evaluations, it confirmed that the students had a betterunderstanding of the course information. The benefits to the instructors were not having to repeatmaterial, being able to accommodate more students, a more constructive meeting, and increasedstudent participation. Students also benefitted from being able to do office hours from home. Allprofessors plan on continuing to use VOH and found it to be an effective solution to their needsand wouldn’t change anything about it.Out study indicates that the student faculty interaction

The goal of the peer sharing presentations is to createa learner-centered approach for exploring evidence-based practices and sharing their findingswith peers. The peer sharing presentations are an innovative way for content to be delivered toand from students, allowing students to engage as active learners in the collaborativeconstruction of new knowledge. The purpose of the current study is to answer how, if at all, peersharing

The teachersalso received training on how to develop lesson plans that incorporate the engineering content intothe existing school curricula.The research questions in this study were 1) to what extent did the teachers’ participation in the PDworkshops affect their perceptions of engineering and their familiarity with teaching DET; and 2)What are the relations among teachers’ perceptions of engineering, familiarities with teaching theDET, and their students’ attitudes towards the STEM fields? The design of the study was a pre-and post-test survey. A DET survey was administered to the participating teachers before and afterthe PD workshop

For this work, ProTA mentors are compensated $2,000 per semester.In the Fall 2019 semester, 4 ProTAs were recruited from industry to mentor for the ComputerScience and Computer Systems engineering program.

. In contrast, disciplines like Civil Engineering are required to have less acceptance ofuncertainty because of the type of work they do [40], [41]. There are is no room for leaving thingsuncertain when designing a building for example. Understanding this is important when trainingstudents on how to collaborate with other engineers. For students with high acceptance ofuncertainty is important to understand that engineers from other disciplines might not becomfortable with not having a clear plan. It is important that they understand how to structure theiracceptance to uncertainty by developing some structured working plans that include deadlines,responsible, and expected solutions for example.Similarly, another dimension that presented

college. Only 53% of 12th-grade first-generation students expect to earn a bachelor’sdegree and 68% plan to enroll in high school immediately after high school, compared to roughly90% of students whose parents earned at least a bachelor’s degree [4]. Fewer students actuallyenroll in post-secondary education than aspire to in high school, indicating that delayingenrollment makes students less likely to attend at all [5]. According to a 2001 National Centerfor Education Statistics report, only 54% of students whose parents had earned a high schooldiploma enrolled in college, and only 36% of students whose parents had not finished highschool enrolled. Conversely, the same report found that roughly 85% of students whose parentshad at least a

For each cohort, however, PTG scholars met with PTG staff for a mid-semesterreview. During this review, each student’s academic progress and plan for academic improvementfor the second half of the semester is discussed. This approach has proven to be highly successfulin helping PTG scholars anticipate academic challenges, taking proactive steps to minimizedifficulties before they arise, and become comfortable interacting with professors during officehours.A second approach to facilitating success and achievement for PTG students has been thefacilitation of monthly PTG meetings throughout the
