research project to evaluate connections between various forms ofsupport (from faculty, TAs, and peers) and multiple forms of course-level engagement (attention,participation, effort, positive and negative emotional engagement) both in traditional and remotelearning. This study focuses on comparing student perceptions of faculty and TA support acrosstraditional (pre-COVID) and remote learning as necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tworesearch questions guided this comparison.Research Question #1 (RQ1):Do student perceptions of faculty and TA support differ in traditional vs. remote learning?On traditional college campuses, faculty support their students both directly and indirectly duringclass time (e.g. lecture, in-class discussion) and

discusses this in thecontext of how she plans to marry an engineer, so she can “stay with the kids until they go toschool” and then “work part-time until they get out of school.” For Maggie engineering allows aperson, in this case her imagined husband, to earn enough money to allow her, projected as anequally qualified professional engineer, to stay at home with children or work part-time. Theengineering-as-lifestyle perspective is differently shaded here, when compared to the unalloyedversions from Max and Jake, but our interpretation is that it is the same basic belief about theleading value of engineering—that it provides for a high salary and a comfortable lifestyle.

. Framing is the set ofexpectations one has about a situation [21, 22]. In our study, some students framed their solutionas meeting the expectations of the instructor, while in other instances students discussed theirsolution as if they were analyzing a bridge that would be built in the real world. Similarly,Koretsky and Nolen found students discussing their projects either in the “school world” or the“engineering world” when examining chemical engineering middle year studio and senior designteams [23, 24], and McNeill et al. found similar results where students distinguished between“classroom problems” and workplace problems” [25].

As a result, a strong emphasis wasplaced on students’ personal learning paths and on building meaningful insights through theexercises and projects rather than accumulating “right or wrong” answers. A task list wasdefined for those students interested in earning a course Statement of Accomplishment thatincluded the completion of 5 of the 6 weekly assignments. To complete a Statement ofAccomplishment with Distinction, students had to fulfill all these requirements and alsocomplete at least 2 peer reviews of other students’ work for each submitted assignment.2.6 Weekly AssignmentsThe six creative

Based on the goals of this project, the following two research questions were posed: 1) What are the qualitatively different ways that the conditional and repetition structures found in most programming languages are understood? 2) What are the ways that first-year engineering students understand these concepts?To answer these questions, a phenomenographic approach was chosen. One of the essentialelements when designing a phenomenographic study is the

A series of introductory seminars targets freshmen and sophomore studentsspecifically to expose them to research areas within a department. Other departmental seminarsconsist of weekly talks given by invited speakers from industry and research, thereby enablingstudents to learn about a broad range of engineering applications. Seminars are typically one tothree units and may be graded on a pass / fail basis.Students at SPri also have the opportunity to take independent study units to participate inresearch projects with faculty and their
