She has spent the last nine years as the Project Manager for the National Science Foundation CREATE Center at College of the Canyons in California, and has more than fifteen years’ experience working on NSF grants. During her time as Project Manager for CREATE, Mrs. Temple coordinated three successful international projects funded through NSF to explore the renewable energy achievements in Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Virgin Islands and Germany. Mrs. Temple started her career in the private sector in accounting and finance before coming to College of the Canyons. Mrs. Temple earned her B.A. in Communications with an emphasis in
Kellerton reported 4% AfricanAmerican, 87% white, 6% two or more races, 3% Hispanic, and other categories too low toreport.We used two of four kindergarten classrooms at Adamsville, the single kindergarten classroom atBlakely, and two of three kindergarten classrooms at Kellerton. (Principals at Adamsville andKellerton preferred that our research not be conducted in the other kindergarten classrooms inwhich there were early-career teachers.) The study occurred during the second half of the schoolyear, when participants ranged in age from 5.5 to 7 years. A total of 53 kindergartnersparticipated in the study with the following rates of participation: (1) Adamsville (36%participation; 13 participants); (2) Blakely (100%; 9); and (3) Kellerton (70%; 31
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. She also has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University. Dr. Brunhaver’s research examines the career decision-making and professional identity formation of engineering students, alumni, and practicing engineers. She also conducts studies of new engineering pedagogy that help to improve student engagement and understanding. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Learner Analytics in Engineering Education: A Detailed Account of Practices Used in Cleaning and Manipulating Learning Management System Data from Online Undergraduate Engineering CoursesAbstractThis is a research paper that provides a
prominent in the learningactivities of engineering programs; (Anderson et al., 2018; ASEE Workshop report, 2014;Danielson, 2014; Norval, 2015b).Social responsibility aspects of professional practice have been developing in parallel(Belanger & Pupulin, 2004). The design of learning activities to support the skills ofprofessional practice must include contextual and situational elements for students to gainpractice in the application of the specialized knowledge of the engineering profession tothe complex problems they will face during their careers and empathy for the social,cultural, and life cycle impacts of the solutions they propose (ASEE Workshop report,2014; Matthews et al., 2017). The legal expectation of providing adequate
suggested that the rural females are more likely thanurban females to restrict their career choices to female dominated fields and in turn, rural femaleswho enter engineering show larger degrees of motivation and self-confidence [5]. Having alarger number of female participants would allow to probe this theory further and confirm thequantitative trends with qualitative experiences of female engineers.Conclusions and future workThis study explored the lived experiences of seven first-year students from rural communities touncover barriers and challenges they face in the pursuit of an engineering degree. Using narrativeinquire, we identified five themes that pose barriers for students transition into an engineeringcourse of study: exposure to
field. However, the higher-level career position, such as theCISO, is fairly new and requires extensive knowledge and skills to ensure success. ManyMaster’s level programs include courses that address these skills in an attempt to provide a well-rounded program of study, but undergraduates who are in the practitioner’s world have otheralternatives to gain these skills. These individuals can gain various certifications, such as theCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or the Certified InformationSecurity Manager (CISM). Due to a perceived gap between academics and field knowledge, itappears that academic programs may not fully consider the very specific competencies of C-Suite members (e.g. Chief Information Security

Assessments used in introduction coursesWe asked an open-ended question to find out more about projects in the introduction toengineering courses. Design projects such as catapults and wind turbines were very popular (13courses). Faculty-led projects were the next most popular (4 courses). Computer programmingprojects and projects to teach K-12 students about engineering or grand challenges (3 courseseach) were the next most common. Other projects included reporting on meetings of studentprofessional chapters, xkcd “what if” problem [5], career

Some studies focused on the importance of improving group selection,effective teamwork and motivation for overall project quality [8-11]. Another way to ensurequality projects is to establish partnerships with local industry to identify projects topics andcollaborate in monitoring and evaluation [12]. Aligning projects with community service andcauses such sustainability [13-18] proved to increase students’ motivation, creativity andimprove project success.In addition to adopting effective team selection, better management, motivation and partnershipsas discussed in above studies, the issue of bridging the gap between classroom

Some in this group reported aninterest in the arts, some with advanced experience with art in high school. While these aregeneralizations, it is interesting to consider how area of concentration and age/academicexperience affect the outcomes.A further aspect to consider is how teaching a course in two distinct classrooms alters thedynamic. In the studio art instructional space there are four tables, each with four chairs. Asstudents worked, they frequently discussed their projects with their neighbors. This culminated inone table actually designing all of their

After building the codebook, the remaining transcripts were coded with a subsample ofdata independently coded by both coders with an intercoder reliability score of 0.71. Thematicanalysis was performed in two rounds, starting with a review of the content in each codefollowed by a second reorganization into emergent themes, as presented below.We conclude this section by acknowledging our positionality as authors and active members,former students, and a former CA of the PRL. As authors, we come from different backgroundsand career paths and have pursued this study in an attempt to better understand and therebyimprove participation and access to the learning resources in makerspaces (e.g. the PRL
