This method retained the 1-5 scale and rewardedconsistent ideas (e.g. an idea that scored all 3’s is more innovative than an idea that scored two1’s and two 5’s). Once scoring was complete, we calculated the mean (out of five) and standarddeviation in each category and for overall innovativeness.ResultsStudents identified 26 unique solutions to the design problem.

success, where a team cannot experience overall success unless each individualmember on the team experiences success. We expand upon this concept by making explicit therelationship between facilitating individual success and valuing each team member, where astudent can experience more success when s/he is valued. Arguably, creating opportunities forstudents to engage in robust teamwork can be facilitated when educators increase students’awareness about the benefits of valuing all team members, a construct that is often implied butnot explicitly discussed in teamwork literature.Creating an environment free of discrimination and bias is the second construct we address in theInclusive Behaviors scale. According to Cooper (2009), teams function
focus here on the factors that influence the pedagogical choices faculty make. In particular, there is value in structuring an instructional innovation such that instructors identify the need in their own classrooms and potential mechanisms to address that need. Within this structure, instructors retain autonomy in deciding which evidence-based practice(s) will address a need in their courses without requiring infeasible levels of change. In this paper, we consider a study in which instructors participated in ongoing faculty development through which they selected and implemented an evidence-based teaching innovation in their classrooms. We focus on the factors that influence the pedagogical choices faculty make when they are given an array of

Moreover, these data do not give a sense of how many suchgraduates may have been eyeing different (engineering and non-engineering) possibilitiesfrom the get-go.Sheppard et al.’s work on career decision-making among prospective engineeringgraduates suggests that in fact the majority of students are unsure and/or consideringoptions that span engineering and non-engineering work on the “eve” of graduation.4,5About one-third of students were exclusively focused on engineering options, and a muchsmaller fraction of students were exclusively focused on non-engineering work and/orgraduate study options.

A Team Battle is an activelearning exercise designed by the instructor that involves group problem solving and has beenused successfully by the instructor in the past for a different flipped course [2]. In this course, theinstructor split the class randomly into teams of four, provided each team with two problemsrelated to the week's topic, then had students work in pairs to solve the problems. When a teambelieved they solved both problems correctly, one representative wrote the team name on thewhiteboard and the instructor checked their answers. If one or both answers are wrong, the teamwas given a three-minute timeout in which they could continue to work on the incorrectproblem(s) but could not write their team name on the board
as compared to first-year students. The lower expectation of seniorstudents suggest that engineering instructors should consider ways to engage upper level studentsin creative behaviors. Future research includes a longitudinal study to examine how creative self-concept changes in progression through the engineering curriculum.Introduction The concept of creativity has been an important research topic since the 1950’s and1960’s.1 Educators and scholars with diverse domains of expertise have studied creativity, theskills associated with creativity, and techniques to increase creativity in their respective fields.2-6However, even in the field of psychology, where the most research pertaining to the topic hasbeen produced, researchers

In graduate school,underrepresented minorities comprise 17.7 percent of overall enrollment but are awarded just14.6 % of S&E master’s and 5.4 % of S&E doctorate degrees, with a progressive loss ofrepresentation as one proceeds up the academic ladder [5].Researchers offer many explanations for the persistent achievement gaps while recognizing thatthere are many interrelated factors.

to tell where an output originated withoutcontext; fortunately, the utterance “I had a thought” communicates clearly the idea originatedwith S1. Considering S2’s response in line two it is evident that there is some confusion on theusefulness of differentials, making the discussion inherently valuable. S1: I had a thought. Are we going to have differential temperature within the differential length? S2: I’m not sure…why we need a derivative this way? This [current equation] seems accurate, because… S1: If you have a differential length are you concerned with the temperature within that…at that length? Because this temperature is dependent on the length, right? So, I guess it’ll be just dT/dl…but then… S3
