discussion time to solicit feedback from thestudents midway through the semester in order to make any necessary mid-course corrections.One problem encountered by the authors was the result of them carrying a full teaching load on-campus, with one of the authors carrying a teaching overload. This made rapid turnaround ofgraded assignments problematic. All lectures were not completed prior to the beginning of the Page 12.500.8semester, and this caused problems in the latter half of the semester. Some lectures had to bepresented out of order in order to work around lectures that were not ready for presentation ontheir designated date on the syllabus. In

facilitate their participation in summer internships in industry and governmentallabs.Proposed ActivitiesIt is evident from various studies that active learning experiences through the use of appropriateinstructional technology can serve as a stimulus to attract students to any specific field includingengineering. Therefore, the program will be structured to meet the following objectives:1) To teach how scientists and environmental engineers use molecular biology based methods asresearch tools. This will be accomplished by three mechanisms:a. Fundamental discussion of molecular biology skills. Introductory materials will be expandedto include thirty percent of the total course (5 of 15 lectures, see course syllabus) in order to helpclarify the

will be presented infuture publications.During the two workdays, faculty members are given time and resources to develop coursecontent for one of their STEM courses. The initial implementation is a single lecture using theCBI methods built on the Legacy Cycle. The CBI lecture content exposes the faculty andstudents to CBI and provides data to the faculty on the effectiveness and efficiency of thepedagogical method. Several CBI examples were presented to faculty from former participantswho served as mentors during the workdays. The workdays were scheduled in a computer lab onthe UTPA campus where the faculty members were provided with training and access to anumber of online tools helpful in the development of CBI content and delivery.

mandatory tutoring was Computer Page 25.748.4Programming I. The tutoring was integrated into the course syllabus and students not   3  performing well in the initial assignments were referred to a tutor and some hours ofsupplemental instruction were enforced. The success of this strategy was remarkable and othernew courses with large dropouts were targeted for mandatory supplemental instruction. TheEngineering Physics I, Engineering Physics II classes along with Computer Programming I classwere selected on the Fall 2010.III.c Curriculum and

. For quantitative analysis, some survey questionson both the pre- and post-course surveys as well as weekly post-class surveys distributed online,included Likert-scale questions and an average was calculated from student submissions. Open-ended reflections of journal entries and the weekly post-class surveys were analyzed to identifycommon themes which categorize the students’ experiences with coaching. Excerpts and quoteswhich are representative of the entire class are presented to illustrate these themes and commonexperiences.Additional procedures employed in the class which relate to coaching but the results of which arenot discussed in this particular study include: (1) Examples of questions which are stellar orweak coaching questions

mentoring, fellows are required to include a teaching activity as apart of their PDP. In their second year in the program, PFMF fellows engage in a teachingexperience that will expose them to the excitement and unique challenges of teaching at thecollege level. To this end, we offer workshops on such topics as assessment and working withundergraduates, designing courses, teaching techniques, using new technology for teaching,conflict resolution, grading homework, authoring effective assignments and examinations, andstudent advising.This teaching activity covers two semesters (minimum): an observation semester and ateaching/co-teaching semester. During the observation semester, the fellow observes anundergraduate course taught by the teaching mentor

guidelines for engagement with individuals and evaluation of the quality of students’ work [1]. Examples of these would be a course syllabus, a program of study, student- teacher contracts, and/or any documented and written course expectations.2. Null Curriculum: Entails what is not taught in the classroom due to mandates from higher authorities, a teacher’s lack of knowledge, or deeply ingrained assumptions and biases [1]. An example of this would be teachers and school systems choosing not to explain certain concepts (e.g., Christopher Columbus’s colonization methods toward many native peoples when he "discovered" the Americas).3. Hidden Curriculum: Represents the unwritten, unofficial, and often unintended lessons, values, and
