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

This approach hasbeen described previously.[10] In the winter term of 2019 students developed an additionalsimulation, one that reproduced the results of Mermin’s quantum device.Simulation of an Entangled State—the Measurement ProblemSuppose that we have a system consisting of two qubits one is Alice’s and one is Bob’s. Each 1 0qubit can be in the state 0 = or the state 1 = . The basis states are formed by taking the 0 1Kronecker tensor product, ⊗ , of the individual basis

offered the MMC program every summersince 2016, while Kuwait offered the program one time in 2019. Each country was a group(i.e., USA and KW), and the tasks were identical for both groups. The research was carriedout over four 3-hour sessions for three weeks, excluding daily break time. On the first day,before any material was taught, students completed a survey about CT, and students playedKahoot after each session to test their knowledge about the material. Students retook the CTsurvey on the last day of the program. The workshops were identical to MMC lessons, withonly minor changes and translations for the KW group. Parents were asked to share theirchildren’s impressions and feedback about the lessons. Additional information is included inthe

engagementDiscovery has completed six terms of program delivery, with total secondary school studentparticipation now exceeding 500. Our previous analysis focused on beneficial outcomes tosecondary student participants [13, 14]. Concurrently, we now share the multi-factorialopportunities to teaching skill development through this model. Both qualitative and quantitativeoutcomes suggest Discovery is having significant impact both on graduate (and undergraduate)student instructor development of professional skills, as well as secondary school studentengagement in STEM.Instructor participationDuring the first 6 semesters of programming (2017-2019; Spring & Fall each year), 93 universitystudent trainees engaged as program instructors, with 24 trainees acting

In terms of computational tools,until Spring 2019, students were using Excel but because of limitations with using Excel duringexams, they were also instructed on using calculators and statistical tables on paper, for theirexams. This created student resistance to use of Excel, with students complaining that they couldnot see why they were made to use Excel, when their exams required only a calculator and tableson paper. Therefore, one motivation behind the project implementation was to lead the studentsinto discovering the value of computational tools. The project also created an appropriate carrierto transition to a more powerful for statistical

We refer to the course as ENGR-Diversity for thepurpose of this paper, a course that had been offered since 2015, and was taught in 2019 for thefourth time. Eighty-two students participated in the 2019 offering of the course, but we onlyreport data from 74 of its students who participated in all research and evaluation data collectionactivities (described below). The course touched on a number of, but by no means all, dimensions of human diversity.Through guest speakers, readings, discussions, and a final
