[1]. Assessment of every aspect of curricular, co-curricular, and larger educational environmental aspects is the norm. Evidence-based decision-making leads those working in every aspect of higher education today to seek out or deviseassessment tools and plans to observe efficacy and introduce well-considered evidence-basedchanges where room for improvement in outcomes seems indicated. The National Survey ofStudent Engagement, or NSSE, is a widely applied instrument in the U.S. and Canada. NSSEallows participating institutions to get a periodic high-level snapshot of how their incoming First-year and near-graduation (Senior) students compare to one another, and compare to those fromother similar institutions, in their self-perceptions of

The basic front panel in Figure 7 is shown operating infeedback mode, where the duty cycle is adjusting automatically to force the output voltage tomatch the target value. Note that a planned enhancement to this program also provides the userwith the ability to vary feedback gain and modality to study the effects of stability and settlingtime. Again, by implementing all of the control algorithms in software, these changes areexpedited compared to a hardware-only implementation.

of positive adaptations intrinsic to acommunity that has tried to overcome adversity. In ASGM communities, these have includedmercury detoxification programs [19], territorial local planning that keeps ASGM away fromwatersheds [20], the desire of groups that have been discriminated to organize to gain voice andpower [21], etc. For these type of positive adaptations to occur, communities must exhibit thefollowing characteristics: Collective self-esteem (love who you are as a community); Culturalidentity (know who you are as a community); Social humor (be able to laugh at who you are);and State honesty (transparency between local/state government and communities) [14]. Studentsin my class learned about these positive adaptations by researching

defining the steps tomake a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. By letting participants incorporate dance whenteaching algorithmic thinking, participants were able to connect a familiar activity with thealgorithmic process in a hands-on way that was fun. One student commented to the instructorthat she loves to dance and to create and to see how dancing and programming could worktogether was great. This experience supported prior research by the authors that a hands-on,project-based learning approach in a computing camp strengthens teamwork and problemsolving skills [13].Future plans including offering this approach in other computing camps for elementary girls.Having a larger sample size will enable more data collection and assessment of the

Findings have implications for the development of robust engineeringpathways at both 2- and 4- year institutions. Departures from the “norm”: How nontraditional undergraduates experienced success in an alternative engineering transfer programThe idea/ideal of the traditional college undergraduate as “one who earns a high school diploma,enrolls full time immediately after finishing high school, depends on parents for financial support,and either does not work during the school year or works part time” is giving way in 21st centuryAmerica [1].

Theauthor intends to draw on Foucault’s interpretation of Bentham’s panopticon. These are not one-to-one analogies as the instructor does not offer a “performance” in the lecture hall nor is theobserving instructor invisible to the students in the computer lab as she would be in apanopticon. The analogies hold at the level of the underlying assumptions while designing thesespaces vis-à-vis what type of interactions in the space are anticipated and planned for. (a) (b
-seated beliefs about the curriculum that were the cause ofthe problem they wished to examine. In the short workshop time available, we were not able todislodge these beliefs.Recommendations for staff developers and workshop organizersBased on our reflective analysis of the workshops conducted to date we make the followingrecommendations as initial determinants:1. The participants should be required to pre-read the materials and to complete pre-workshopactivities to explore their own problems. Also, workshop leaders should communicate the entirecourse content to the participants in advance of the workshop, allowing for modifications. If wehad, the participants could have framed their problems in light of the planned discussion. Thefacilitators
The purpose of this activity was to establish a shared definition of impact and Impact subsequently document the impact we had during the first five semesters of our positions. We operationalized impact using London’s [7] framework to capture our scientific, societal, and contextual impact. As individuals, we completed reflections describing the impact we had, the areas we wanted to impact, and the strategic or intentional actions we planned to take to accomplish our goals. We subsequently discussed how our proposed impacts evolved based on our experiences. Reflexivity The purpose of this activity was to expand our understanding of the

Prior to the class start date, SI leadersreceive training on session preparation and teaching pedagogy, and work with SI supervisors andfaculty to continually monitor and modify session content. SI was developed around acombination of learning theories [5], cognitive development principles [6], societalinterdependence principles [7], and interpretive principles [8]. Specifically, the fouraforementioned gaps applicable to technical computing can be filled by
ProjectGoalsFigure 5: A summary of student survey results on effectiveness of course project in achieving learning objectives.The results of the self-evaluating survey overall demonstrate that the project has been effective inimproving students’ programming skills, as well as showing them the software-hardwareconnection and real world applications of programming in practice. The effectiveness of theproject in introducing IoT to students can be improved by dedicating more time to this topic andcovering more background and implementation methods in the field of IoT. In addition, in futurestudies we plan to utilize other quantification methods in addition to student surveys such as examgrades and project grades. These will create a more comprehensive measure
this project will inform the development of a modelof DLI in engineering that can be used by teachers and practitioners in both K-12 andundergraduate educational environments. This model will be translated into standards-alignedinstructional materials, including videos, lesson plans, and curricular units, and will be madewidely available to ensure that all students have access to high-quality, authentic engineeringcontent. For example, a K-12 science curriculum could be coupled with a model of DLI inengineering to encourage students to use authentic engineering literacy practices to solve grade-appropriate design problems. Similarly, for undergraduate engineering education, DLI couldsupport a problem-based learning (PBL) engineering pedagogy

will help us understand the impact of culture on students’ motivations and goals.Results from this study can aid in identifying factors that are crucial for retention in engineeringand increasing the U.S. STEM workforce. Identification of cultural factors that contribute tointerest and motivation, thereby informing career choice, are important when designing curriculaand messaging. The research plan is motivated by the need to increase the number of women inengineering and reduce the gender gap. This study will not only provide insight into primaryfactors that impact student motivations in career choice from a cultural perspective, but willreveal gender messaging in the U.S. as the Moroccan students adapt to the U.S. culture.Future workFuture
evaluator revealed thatstudents have become their own advocates for EBIPs in the classroom in the engineering unit.COPUS results indicate that the student listening time in classrooms was reduced by an averageof 21.4%.The REFLECT team noticed that the engineering faculty found the project particularly helpfulfor formation of research projects and cross-campus networks. One observation pair found aproject that connected environmental engineering and biology, and they recently published ajoint paper [10]. Connecting faculty and creating community was a goal of the project, makingthis insight particularly positive.Future work on the REFLECT project will focus on increasing the number of universities andfaculty using the process.
