happened during SAGE and reflects onwhat must be improved upon.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of minority students in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (hereafter STEM) has been an enduring crisis in U.S. education. Decrying suchinequity, efforts increased from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to educate and train minoritystudents in the technical fields. To that end, one would be hard pressed to find a higher educationinstitution that had not developed some sort of program to support minority students’ STEMparticipation1. Though the rate at which students seek to study STEM is increasingly comparableby race/ethnicity, the rate of students graduating with STEM degrees is still disparate2 3 4. Thechallenge remains to continue and
, also known as a supplemental instruction program, were designedto provide subject-specific support and enrichment to students in the program throughout the firstyear, particularly in subjects that students typically find challenging. Supplemental instruction isa method that was developed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in the mid-1970’s byDeanna Martin5. Originally, it was designed for a medical school program, and was successful inimproving course grades and retention. However, today, it is used across several universityprograms, although it has not been widely researched within the engineering community.Facilitated study groups are designed to enhance students’ understanding of course material, andprovide them with skill
running multiple sections of the course. Responsibilities include ordering books for thecourse, training of first-time faculty during the summer, recommending and implementingchanges in course materials, purchasing equipment and supplies for the course, posting allmaterials to BlackBoard, and meeting with other instructors throughout the semester.The course coordinator schedules and determines the frequency of group meetings with allfaculty involved in teaching EAS107P. She is also able to work with specific faculty to addressany problems associated with his/her particular section(s). Feedback from the faculty is used todetermine whether problems have persisted (and why) or have been successfully remedied.Scheduling of multiple sections of

PowerPoint slides that were discussed in lecture. Theslides included descriptions of common rating problems including giving everyone on the teamthe same scores across all dimensions, giving the same teammate the same scores across alldimensions, bimodal ratings (giving one teammate all 1’s and others all 5’s), etc. This lecturealso included a discussion of what information you are trying to give your teammates whenrating them and how the results of the evaluations can be interpreted in order to improve teamperformance. General comments were also made regarding what the rating patterns looked likein the class without identifying individuals or teams that used poor rating patterns.

of improv-inspired games used in the class 1. No-Um Speech Purpose - Requires active listening to teammates, using their ideas without hesitation;requires that students begin giving a solution without forethought to the outcome. Gameplay- A team stands in a line in front of class and gives a speech on an impromptutopic. The topic could be related to course content. One person from the team begins speaking,and must continue talking without pause or saying a crutch word like um, uh, like, etc. As soonas the player says one of these words or pauses for > 1 s, a bell is rung and the next teammatemust immediately pick up where the previous teammate left off. The answer must continue, as ifa single person was saying the answer

The structure of the campconsisted of face-to-face sessions and three independent projects aimed at developing a mindsetthat will ultimately help participants succeed in college. Each independent project built uponknowledge gained during that face-to-face sessions and previous independent project(s). Theauthors believe this systematic process of progressively giving the participants moreresponsibility and less instruction over the course of the camp helped to promote the self

We aim todetermine if engineering students or students who are interested in engineering can get earlyexposure to the discipline via course(s) offered in college of engineering. Therefore, we countany engineering course available in the first term as an introductory engineering course. Theseintroductory courses include such diverse courses as “Introduction to Visualization and CAD,”“Introduction to Mechanical Engineering,” “Engineering Projects and Design,” and simply“Introduction to
