In2013, UTREE taught more than 60 class periods on communication and teamwork. Mostof the students that UTREE teaching mentors instruct are first-year design students, butUTREE also teaches upper level classes and assists in the teaching of graduate studentseminars. Table 1 shows a breakdown of the types of class periods taught. One of the class periods that UTREE mentors teach concerns rethinking the topic-subtopic approach that most engineers and scientists follow for structuring theirengineering presentations. In this class period, the mentors first

Much research has been done in the last several years to highlight the bestpractices in online learning. To better benefit from this research, we launched a pilot effort tocreate a Faculty Institute for Online Teaching. The goal of this effort is to inform theunderstanding of what it means to deliver a high-quality online experience to students fromaround the globe. These best practices include organization of courses and programs within thelearning management system, designing lectures for online delivery, feedback timelines, studentto faculty engagement, and peer to peer engagement. This Institute had 30 participants enrolledin the pilot, and

The Center for Pre-College Programshas in place a computer database for the purpose of research and to accurately track all pre-college participants. Statistical information is currently available for students whoparticipated in programs between 1981 and 2000.The total number of CPCP alumni of student programs operated between 1980 and 2000 wasabout 3800 students. All were sent questionnaires in 2000. We received responses from1292 former participants, a response rate of 34%. For these types of surveys, 34% isconsidered a very good response rate.Of the responses received, 984 (76.1%) were either graduated from a post-secondaryinstitution or still in an undergraduate program.

Due to weather, the workshops were consolidated. At the workshop,participants heard presentations on the motivation behind this project, DLM design, instructionalphilosophy, and best implementation practices, and also had a chance to use all four modules inconjunction with suggested classroom worksheets.The effectiveness of the LC-DLMs has been previously tested; however, there was a lack ofrobust measures for assessing student understanding in prior implementations of LC-DLMs. Toaddress this, we used Bloom’s taxonomy to categorize learning outcomes, measure learninggains, and better analyze
, peer instruction, problem-based learning, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and challenge-based learning are among the researchbased instructional strategies that are student-centered and learner-oriented [6, 19, 20]. Withoutthe knowledge of the best-practices in education and how people learn, the university faculty willnot be able to design an ideal learning environment for their students. It is no surprise thatmajority of the students, particularly women, drop the STEM fields early in their careers in thecollege. The traditional instructional strategies employed in the STEM fields might beresponsible for abating students’ motivation and interest in STEM fields, particularly for womenand minority students.

Specifically, theprogram includes first-year students and focuses especially on building an inclusive researchculture within the college. It employs a tiered mentoring approach and activities that preparestudents for research and foster networking. The long-term goal of the VIP experience is tocreate a research culture and community in engineering, and eventually across STEM disciplines,that is inclusive and supportive of students from diverse backgrounds. An additional focus is toshowcase the value of diversity in research and innovation through the program. Both
