levels at the beginning of the proposed experiment. The instructors ensured that the subject matter covered in both learning methods was identical. The online and classroom section of all courses had the same syllabus, textbook, instructor, homework assignments, exams and week by week schedule. Online learning modules for each chapter were made available to the students in-sync with the weekly material prescribed in the syllabus for each course. In the onsite version of each course, the instructor assured keeping pace with the syllabus. The pre-recorded online lectures were not made available to the students in the on-site sections of the courses. Thus the students had the same amount of time to work on homework and

“Tailored Instruction and EngineeringDelivery Using PROTOCOLs” (TIED UP). In ‘tailored instruction’, the course syllabus will bere-organized into an integrated modular concept format where complex engineering conceptswill be presented as networked sub concepts in a web interface, creating a virtual neural space.Each of these networked concepts and sub-concepts will be further linked to several learningtools such as animations, short concept lecture videos (4-6 minute duration) and mandatedstudent activities that are designed leveraging latest insights from established theories of neuroand cognitive science with the help of a number of PROTOCOLs. PROTOCOLs are systematicbrain based learning principles to be followed while delivering a new concept

Computing in Engineering is a course required for all 200 engineering students ata research university in Massachusetts. In the last few years, the course underwent a transitionfrom a large, lecture-based course taught by one professor to several smaller sections taught bydifferent professors, each using their own instructional technique. In the spring of 2019, fourprofessors taught the Introduction to Computing Course using three different instructionalmethods. All courses had the same syllabus goals, outlined in Table 1 below.

in this course section could beconsidered at high-risk of dropping out of the major, having received grades of D, F, or W fromeither ENGR 101 or 190 previously. A minority of students were joining the major late in theirfirst year and had missed the fall calculus class or were non-engineering majors. The syllabus contained a consent statement, notifying students of the study and offeringthem an opportunity to opt out of having their course materials used for research purposes.Students were included for analysis if they completed both a pre- and post-survey and earned afinal grade in the class (N = 18). Completion of the survey was voluntary; no rewards or credittowards grades were offered as incentives. Of the original 35 students

An email introducing and containing a link to the online survey wassent to all students during the final days of the course. Response rates were extremely low (≈7%) due to the timing of the survey and lack of in-class announcements. However, the fewresults that were obtained demonstrated that students would identify others outside of their teamsand even their sections, through use of the free-response questions.The final version of the survey consisted of a cover letter describing the purpose of the researchand data collection, a prompt asking the students to indicate all

TheCASCADE objectives include infusion of the design process for freshman through senior; anincrease of retention of engineering undergraduate students; and an increase in the 6-yearengineering undergraduate graduation rate. Strategies to achieve these objectives includeincorporation of design experience into targeted engineering courses at all levels; creation of aninnovative cascaded mentoring program; and linkage to the TAMUK Javelina InnovationLaboratory (JIL). This paper provides demographic data, retention and graduation rates.Preliminary numbers showing growth in retention and graduation rates are provided. The resultsdemonstrated that the design

Likewise, the course syllabus was posted on Blackboard at the same time.An announcement was also created to prompt student’s attention about the activities posted onBlackboard and particularly, the grading policy for the course. In the grading policy, 50% of theentire semester grade was allocated to class project assessment, this includes; student presentation,discussion session, write-up, PowerPoint, and project defense. Through a weekly announcement,the professor provided pre-knowledge on what to be discussed in the sub-sequent classes on theBlackboard.Step II: Form the GroupStudents were given the

they’re drawing on3. Further,knowing how scholarly articles are crafted helps, too: multi-citers might use intersectionality as acentral component of their arguments and papers, whereas one off-ers mention the term as a briefreferential frame or add the citation after peer review.These, of course, are just hypotheses that need to be explored in a close reading, but it raisesquestions about how and if all concepts can or should be integrated into texts as “one-off”citations.Third, the uptake of intersectionality as a concept forged by women of color lies in a handful ofscholars. This is best illustrated in Figure 7. As you can see, the scholars who cite hooks or HillCollins overlap a good deal—and they often cite Crenshaw (sometimes twice as well
