Nation’s Urban WaterInfrastructure (ReNUWIt). Participants to date have been 69% female and 39% from historicallyunderrepresented racial or ethnic groups. Outcomes include participant skill-building,development of researcher identity, pursuit of graduate school, and pursuit of careers in STEM.Assessments include pre- and post-surveys (quantitative and qualitative), as well as longitudinaltracking of participants (n=97 over 7 years). Assessment results suggest this multi-campus siteachieves participant-level and program-level impacts commensurate with those attained bysingle-campus REU Sites.IntroductionEngaging undergraduates in authentic science and engineering research experiences is widelyaccepted as a promising practice for promoting

The technical engineering tasks probed by the survey weremotivated by engineering and career outcomes in previous work [5]. The process of adapting theitems and selecting a representative five-item set from a more exhaustive list using factoranalysis is described in detail elsewhere [6-7]. This instrument asked participants "How confidentare you in your ability to do each of the following at this time?"

Given the centrality of technology today,engineering students will help shape our future, significantly. Yet often they lack theprofessional skillset to reach the greatest promise in their careers and as citizens. How canprofessional skills be developed through experiential practice? Blurring the line between artand science offers one route via creative engagement: playing in a conductorless orchestrawhere students practice leadership, teamwork, and communication week-in and week-out.

Byexamining the development level within students’ class standing groups (freshman to senior), onecan gauge whether students over time perform at higher rates than previous years. Ideally, to testgains across a given span of time, data is collected longitudinally, tracking an individual acrosstheir college career. Because we assume that regardless of student ability and demographicbackground, as whole, students will have higher learning gains as they progress through theengineering program, we assert that by aggregating and averaging out values over different classstanding groups can provide insights similar to that of a longitudinal study.Figures 1 and 2, where average scores are examined across

One student described thatSustainable Energy as a whole course supported the broader integration of engineering conceptsand their practical applications. It helps put all the other classes into the wider focus and give more perspective… It helps us see the connections between everything, and Sustainable Energy definitely helps with that.An

survey and primary investigations reveal that coursematerial, homework and even the entire class set up can change because of course evaluations.To faculty, it is clear that their preparation material changes from one school term to the next;alternatively, students do not seem to see (realize) the changes. Their experience isdiscontinuous, whereas faculty teach the same course many times in a career. One reason themajority of students do not agree with faculty on this statement could be because the changesthat do happen to the preparation material get smaller and smaller each year. Another facultymember noted “…Now that I’ve been teaching for a long time, course evaluations allow me tofiddle with the knob ever so slightly.” Everyone notices when

The common exam times in this course model also reduce the total amount of time thatinstructors must spend developing new exams (by a factor of two if there are two coursesections).Implementation by early career faculty members (comments by Dr. Roccabianca). Thesuccessful implementation of the new assessment model requires some significant adjustmentsnot only by the students, as discussed above, but also by the instructor. For example, crafting anew exam during most weeks requires the instructor to invest a significant amount of time andenergy throughout the semester. Secondly, the significant reduction of lecture time means theinstructor must restructure much of the class
