They must be able to solveproblems as part of a team practicing good communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution.The collaboration method proposed in this study is similar to what is expected in the workplace.Engineers will likely be working in teams during their professional careers. They will be expectedto do their individual work ahead of time to collaborate effectively during team meetings. The I-in-Team method is designed to reflect these industry expectations to prepare engineering students forsuccess in their professions after graduation [6].

Page 25.680.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Graduate Teaching Assistant Written Feedback on Student Responses to Problem Identification Questions within an Authentic Engineering ProblemI. IntroductionGraduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) have a considerable role in teaching and mentoringundergraduate students, especially in large enrollment programs. With the growinginterest in student-centered learning, GTAs are expected to co-teach these classes due tothe demanding role of full faculty in other academic
modulesinto courses [7].More and more universities in the U.S. are trying to incorporate EML into students’ learning.Some universities have their own Entrepreneurship Center. For example, MIT has severaldepartments, labs, centers, and over 40 student clubs and initiatives to foster entrepreneurshipand innovation. Their educational efforts in this area resulted in having an impressive impact atlocal, regional, and global levels. “A 2015 report suggested that 30,000 companies founded byMIT alumni were active as of 2014, employing 4.6 million people and producing annualrevenues of $1.9 trillion, equivalent to the world’s 10th largest economy.” [8]In addition, there is an entrepreneurship center in the Stanford’s School of Engineering.

demand. The most salient feature of PCM rests in the multiple curricular configurations that result from the use of four interrelated and parallel designs for organizing curriculum: Core, Practice, Connections, and Identity. The four parallels offer opportunities to optimize student learning through the creation of a curriculum that is more meaningful, powerful, and engaging in the education of confident and competent engineering professionals. Projects presented at past ASEE conferences are innovative because they address specific parallels, thus fleshing out a student’s overall education. The PCM not only offers a way to see education as a whole, so as to identify the gaps, but also a way to

Researchers need torecognize that integrating STEM and robotics content in teachers’ curricula may not be as simpleand intuitive as it appears and will require conscious and consistent efforts on their side, whichshould be very much appreciated. At first sight, such connections may seem naive and furtherreify the gendered nature of STEM.

it had the unfortunate impact thatassignment questions with more scope for students to make decisions were shifted later in theterm as this type of question is much easier to write for functions than for arrays. This also meantthat students had less practice with programming questions requiring the use of their judgement.The course project in MTE121 was scaled back significantly, becoming closer to a two partassignment rather than an open-ended design project. Accordingly, the weighting of theassignments and projects changed in the course syllabus (assignments increased from 10% to19% in 2020, and the project decreased from 15% to 6% in 2020)2.2.2 AssignmentsThe most significant change to the weekly assignments for 2020 was the shift away
