Students who participated in the camp(N=56) built and optimized their own take-home electronic devices. Pre- and post-surveys were collectedto analyze the students’ engineering self-efficacy, knowledge, and engineering skills. Results suggestedthat students’ self-efficacy and beliefs in succeeding in engineering majors and careers increased aftertheir experiences in the camp; they also improved their engineering knowledge and skills (p

We describe some simple algorithms thatstudents are guided to develop in the MATLAB environment. We also present the results ofsome simulations. These projects are well received by students and taking the time to introducethem does not harm their performance on a research-based assessment instrument.Schrödinger introduced “entanglement” into the scientific vocabulary in 1935.[5] It is interestingthat the phrase was essentially absent from publication until around 1990

On the other end of the spectrum, the industry’s need for a STEM-educatedworkforce is burgeoning with an expected growth of almost 7% in the next five years with 3.5million STEM jobs to be filled by 2025 [2]. The gap between need and availability is increasingrapidly. The number of unfilled STEM jobs has been projected to be 2.4 million by the end of2019 [3].Sandwiched between these two challenges is the challenge of retention of undergraduate studentsin STEM fields.

, faculty get more teaching credit for teaching larger classes. For example,the author’s department used to have a rule that a class of more than 100 students counted as 1.5classes. This allows the instructor to focus on fewer classes and do a better job on those, whilehaving more time for research.Large classes are a boon to recruitment. An instructor of a large class becomes known to a lotmore students, and these students are more likely to consider working with them later on. Youmay become their graduate advisor, or advisor for an undergraduate research project. A largeclass is also a great place to recruit for independent-study students who may assist one of yourresearch projects or generate resources for later offerings of the same course. The

Just as in a dynamicsystem, the input is tracked well with feedbacks and controllers, it is conceptualized that thesame idea can be applied in assessing student learning outcomes in a course. The proposedmethod is comprised of identifying the SLOs for the course stated in the course outline as macro-SLOs and then developing lower level micro-SLOs, which contribute to individual macro-SLOs.These macro-SLOs and micro-SLOs constitute the inner and outer loops respectively of adynamic assessment system.

The original face-to-face course lectures were slide-based due to the highly visual natureof the content. Each lecture required students to read handouts and answer the providedquestions prior to lectures. The questions were collectively answered during the lectures andoften prompted discussions. The assignments relied heavily on students’ ability to reviewnanotechnology-related scientific journal papers and evaluate the outcomes. The assignmentsculminated into a term project where students selected an application area and presented theirresearch to the class. In the end, each student prepared a research proposal
