Working closely with 10museum partners and educators in Ontario, Portland, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Detroit,Miami, Ann Arbor, Boston and Buenos Aires, kits were tested, feedback was collected, andevaluation results were used to continuously iterate on the kits to ensure they work well indiverse settings.Perspective(s) or theoretical framework A national crisis will emerge if the United States cannot amplify the number anddiversity of K-12 students who pursue degrees and careers in engineering. Many of society’schallenges impact a broad spectrum of peoples, communities, and systems. Addressing thesechallenges require
universities to identify students who may beinterested. They can provide more information and support as they encourage them to considerthese fields.References[1] English, T. (2016).

web-based environment for administering computer assignments. The platform is effectiveand easy to use as long as some attention is given in crafting the problem statement and estab-lishing grading rubrics. Two additional tools that were instrumental for the course included thecombination of video recording (Panopto) with live notes using PDFAnnotator on a smart screen.In addition, the video-conferencing app, Zoom, enabled live participation in the class from onlinestudents and online office hours. Finally, the LMS provided an adequate environment to collectcourse resources, communicate information, and exchange assignments.References 1 B. S. Bloom; J. T. Hastings: and G. Madaus.

This is usually achieved throughstructured laboratory-based courses and project-based learning courses throughout theircurriculum. In the EET program at Kennesaw State University, the Capstone Design courseexperience was offered through a menu of project-based senior design courses that students gotto choose from based on their specific electrical areas of interest. This served the program wellfor several years but did not always offer the students a uniform design experience as thatdepended on the instructor(s) teaching those classes in a given semester. As a result, the EETfaculty concluded that in order to offer a more uniform experience to each cohort of students, itwas best

While one IEEE paper made use of no pronouns whatsoever, on average the sample setemployed the use of pronouns at a rate 50% than that used in the ASME papers.In the development analysis, it was found that ASCE and ASME articles were similar in terms of their useof charts and figures—about one-third of total article space—and also employed a similar number ofequations: a value in the high teens for ASCE and in the low 20’s for ASME. This slight deficit in thenumber of equations in the ASCE papers is roughly offset by the presence of additional space devoted tocharts and figures, making

Theliterature suggests that a sample size of 100 to 150 is acceptable for a CFA [23-26]. Following upon this study, we will explore the psychometric characteristics of the CD-RISC with a largersample in order to explore the dimensionality of the instrument.
