noticed positive responsesfrom the students when they encouraged a natural learning process, providing supportmore than instruction as students mastered the activities. Melissa and Isabella describedefforts to tailor the electrical engineering content to the students’ ability levels, makingsure that the activities were challenging, but not impossible. The educators saw positiveresults from structuring the activities in such a way that it allowed students to mastersmall activities that then built up toward the more complex projects and toward mastery.Their collected data provided a clear glimpse at the disparity between female's confidencein themselves before performing STEM activities in comparison to male confidence inthemselves before

The survey was designed to take approximately 15 minutes to complete and consistedof 50 questions that asked about tool usage, prior makerspace involvement, and studentdemographics. Students were given a $20 gift card for completing the survey. The Fall 2020survey asked students to indicate the tools they used, while the Spring 2021 and Spring 2022surveys also inquired about the frequency with which tools were used. Minor edits to thequestions and tools listed were made between semesters.The processed survey data found some entries from students who did not complete the entiresurvey or who indicated that they did not use any tools in the space.

It’s affirming to see discussion board posts andemails stating how relating this directly to their own experiences and showing concern for theirfinancial well-being helps students master and learn Excel in an engaging way. These sameconcepts and Excel techniques are also used during the economic analysis of a large chemicalprocess in senior plant design, however, it's more impactful to relate these concepts to students’current financial situation as occurs within the first-year course.Lessons Learned and

The spatial skills component was included as 5% ofthe overall course grade, which students (n=142) could earn either by passing the PSVT:R with ascore of ≥70% or by completing extra training using the Spatial Vis software beyond theminimum requirement. After the initial test using the PSVT:R, students were divided into 3groups: (1) spatial novices with a test score <60% were awarded 1% of the grade; (2) spatialintermediates, test score 60-69% were awarded 3% of the grade; (3) spatial masters scored ≥70%and were awarded the full 5

Furthermore, although this modelwas used in a software engineering class, the authors believe that it could be easily adapted foruse in other engineering disciplines. IntroductionSoftware requirements courses have generally been confined to the graduate level. A courseentitled “Specification of Software Systems” was included in the 1989 Software EngineeringInstitute’s graduate Master of Software Engineering (MSE) curriculum model1, which remains tothis day the primary standard for MSE curricula. Students in such an MSE program usuallyalready have industrial experience in software development, and therefore have some experience

Second, the methodsstudied for FSM design were not utilized in the final complex project, which hurt studentmotivation to master these methods. Third, there was not sufficient time in the computerarchitecture section for the students to appreciate the computer as a complex finite state machine,as Katz characterizes it.In Fall 2000, the next time the course was offered, a different text by Lee5 was used. This textcompressed the sections on combinatorial and sequential design, leading me to supplement thesesections. It also dropped some of the classical techniques, such as Boolean algebra, simplificationvia Quine-McCluskey, and FSM state assignment and minimization. In the time freed up

, the organizers sought to match incoming first-year studentswith industry mentors. It did not work well. The first-year students were focused on“mastering” college life and were not ready to interact with seasoned engineering professionals.In most instances, both parties found the interactions to be less-than-ideal, so the formalmentorship program was stopped for the first-year students. They were, instead, informallymentored by the program’s upper-level student assistants.2.4 Just-In-Time InstructionIn early implementations of the summer bridge experience, a large amount of time was allottedto math and chemistry preparation.
