Bothprofessors regularly teach classes and work with undergraduate students in research labs. Theseprofessors taught the two classes where we recruited students.Survey The survey consisted of a set of demographic questions, a self-report measure of curiosity[15], a self-report measure of intellectual humility [16], and a set of questions asking students torate how curious various elements of class made them feel. Besides the demographics, studentsresponded to these questions using a 7-point Likert scale. The survey was designed to take lessthan 20 minutes to

Specifically, in anengineering context, knowledge surveys have also been used across engineering programs totriangulate direct assessment results and inform continuous improvement of teaching andlearning [5-8]. This study seeks to further leverage knowledge surveys for instructor courseimprovement with particular focus on whether or not topical information is presentedappropriately in the broader context of the field. This is akin to Carter and

I enjoy collaborating with colleagues in other fields where I get to combine CS with Biology or Physics and play with their data. Topics of interest include: Flipped Classroom techniques to teach programming The benefits of games and puzzles in learning Construction of fair, scalable assessments Multimodal teaching with an emphasis on getting students to articulate their understanding 3D-Shape reconstruction and analysis The use of Embedded Systems and Machine Learning to automate (Biology) Laboratory tasks.Liberty Rose Lehr, Smith CollegeRahul Simha, The George Washington UniversityMichelle

Our interview protocol, guided by the HPL framework, delves into studentperspectives on self-reflection, knowledge acquisition, and assessment related to data skills.4. METHODS4.1 Participant Recruitment and Selection.In this study conducted at a southeastern United States institution, 177 students completed arecruitment survey. All interested mechanical engineering (ME) students were automaticallyselected, as only a small number of participants were ME students. Meanwhile, interestedaerospace engineering (AE) students
