This study assessed AcES recruitment communication channels and studentawareness via three research questions: How many Engineering students surveyed knew aboutAcES? Of those who said they knew about AcES, how did they learn about AcES? Of thosesurveyed, what communication channels did they suggest best to distribute AcES information?MethodologyCross-disciplinary collaborationNon-tenure track (NTT) faculty in engineering, business, and social science collaborated in thisresearch. Key barriers for Engineering NTT teaching faculty to conduct education research arefunding and time. In Fall 2022, AcES engineering faculty collaborated with business facultyfamiliar with

This article presents the resultsfrom a conducted pilot study.MethodologyThis exploratory study proposed frequent unannounced evaluations in civil engineering andarchitecture courses. At the end of the semester, an anonymous survey was administered tostudents taking the courses Structures 1 (n=21 students) and Structures 2 (n=18 students) inarchitecture and Structural Analysis 1 (n=22 students) and Construction Costs (n=16 students) incivil engineering. The survey provided contained open-ended and multiple-choice questions.This pedagogical strategy was applied to all students of the previously mentioned courses.

circuit design, programming, CAD,and 3D printing, our BME students have no curricular exposure to other forms of mechanicalprototyping. To address this deficiency, we developed and implemented a new elective PhysicalPrototyping for Design course. The purpose of this course is to introduce and practice basicfabrication techniques that are useful for both SD and students’ engineering competencies ingeneral. The class was first offered in Fall 2022 (3-credit hybrid lecture-lab) in a College ofEngineering Makerspace where students had supervised access to machining equipment andtools. Students gained experience working with different materials (wood, metals, hard plastic,soft plastic, fabrics), fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets), measurements tools

These focus groups were anopportunity for PIs to note how they managed the pandemic disruption, discuss innovations thatcould be carried forward into the future, and note elements of in-person international experiencesthat simply cannot be replicated. Second, the poster highlights preliminary findings fromstudents’ experiences who participated in an IRES or PIRE program during Summer 2022, whichfor many programs was the first return to in-person international research following thepandemic disruption. Interviews with these students provided us an opportunity to gain insightson how international research opportunities were both similar and different after pandemicdisruption compared to students’ experiences in these kinds of

Scholars are now perceiving the benefitsof interacting with their CREATE faculty mentors especially for guidance on internships,undergraduate research, job opportunities, and graduate school. As cohort 1 peer mentors are nowon the same graduation trajectory as their mentees, during the fall 2022 semester, peer mentoringwas discontinued for cohort 1 and more focus has been placed on faculty mentoring. CREATEpeer mentors were vital to the scholars during the first two years, but the mentorship programwould benefit from some small changes: (i) CREATE could have provided more training to thepeer mentors on how to support scholars’ personal challenges; (ii) CREATE could have assignedfewer scholar mentees to their peer mentors

With the increasing demand for spatiotemporal computing skills in the real-world jobmarket, project-driven internships have become an important source of work experience forstudents with interests concerning geographic information systems (GIS) and related geospatialtechnologies [2]. However, while GIS internships offer benefits to college students, rarely do 2-year college students being trained in this field, even rare to see such internships being evaluated,especially during the

By choosing different types and styles of games we are able to provide a space forthe participants to discuss broader teaching practices such as the importance of technicalvocabulary, scaffolding ideas as we teach them, and the benefits of student-centered learningapproaches. Another critical aspect of this intervention is that we hope to use role reversal toremind teachers how hard it is to learn in the hope that teachers will have more empathy for theirlearners.In this paper, we describe our FLC organization, which we are conducting over the 2022-23academic year with 9 participants and 2
