The Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering/Science (SURE) program at[INSTITUTION]--a highly selective technology-focused research institution--was firstimplemented in 1992. SURE is a ten-week summer program for junior- and senior-level minorityundergraduates from a variety of institutions. Students paired with faculty and graduate mentorson research projects attend enrichment activities and conclude the program with researchpresentations to their peers and program faculty. In 2005, a survey of former SURE participantswas conducted. Of the 62 respondents who had completed their bachelors’ degrees, 72.6 percentindicated they had enrolled in or completed a

Moreover, analogies are an intimate part of the structure of physics.”At Michigan Tech, a move was made to develop a course which addresses the university’semphasis on writing in engineering and applied science courses. The resulting third-year courserequires students to work collaboratively in producing full-scale engineering reports in a project-based environment.UVU could have considered working toward establishing Writing Intensive (WI) rather than WEcourse in each discipline, and articulating how many of these courses students need to take.

It isinteresting to note that there is little reason to expect such audiences to have commonexpectations of a portfolio since portfolios are relatively uncommon and few people have formalexperience in reading and evaluating portfolios. It should also be noted that if one were going toevaluate the effectiveness of a professional portfolio, it should be done by such authenticaudiences rather than by educators in the context of education.Annotations are a key element of most portfolios.

Better understandingof EERSE among those who conduct EER can assist in motivating them to grow their EER skillsand knowledge, continue their EER efforts, and eventually be successful in achieving EERproductivity [9, 23].Self-efficacy theory also states that self-efficacy is influenced by many factors such asperformance accomplishments, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and

reversing the roles teachers and students play in a traditionallearning environment, the classroom is then “flipped” or “inverted” [2, 6]. As summarized bySchmidt and Ralph [15], the “I do”, “We do”, “You do” teaching approach has become “Youdo”, “We do”, “I do”.A flipped classroom, when designed and implemented well, can provide a range of benefits. Forinstructors, having students learn outside of the class gives them more time to cover additionalselected topics [6]. Instructors will also have the freedom to use class time for highly interactiveactivities [2] through team-based learning, problem-based learning, or hands-on projects etc..They will also likely to give more personal attention and guidance to the students.

For a mixture of human and automated assessment, he proposestwo options: weighting both or using automated as a validation (not contributing to the rater score).While AES solves most of the common human rater errors, it does so at the expense of failing todeeply understand the text. It is also confined to the essay domain. Scaling the number of humanraters to take advantage of the wisdom of the crowd averages out individual rater errors and ishighly adaptable to other assessment types (e.g. projects). Thus, we posit a third option to mix-ing human and automated grading, leveraging the best of both worlds in a unique way: we

However, as doctoral students gainresearch responsibility and feel pressure to make progress on dissertation work, having a TAcould increase their workload unaligned with their projects and inhibit progress, delayinggraduation.In contrast, having an RA assignment or fellowship may allow doctoral students to fully focus onresearch, as shown when RA and fellowship are positive predictors of persistence andcompletion.
