For the 2016 summer, we have visited three partner institutions and thefourth one is being scheduled. As seen in Table 2, the drop in the percentage of applicants fromour partner institutions can be explained by the increase in applicants in 2015. The actualnumber of partner institution applicants is similar.The preliminary data on home institution mentors is promising as students have found itbeneficial and have continued interactions beyond the summer program. Even though the 2014cohort had limited pre-program interactions, the quality of the mentoring relationship can be seenby the post-program response (three students

. Assessment establishes thatraise in student engagement and learning is significant. Student engagement calculated for thetotal class registration against the actual number of students present for that day. Actualengagement will be little higher, if the student engagement is computed against the actualnumber of student present in the class. However, it is evident that student engagement andlearning improved, using above method to solve problems through active learning. As a futurework, authors plan to establish a method to measure and present the increased effectiveness ofactive learning in such courses.References[1] Jenny A.

“there is a research consensus on themain features of professional development that have been associated with changes in knowledge,practice, and, to a lesser extent, student achievement” (p. 183). These features include: (1) afocus on subject matter content and how students learn that content; (2) opportunities forteachers to engage in active learning; (3) coherence, which includes consistency with bothteacher knowledge and beliefs, and school, district, and state policies; (4) sufficient duration, interms of number of hours and span of time; and (5) collective participation.

popularwith the youth, the staff found them more suitable for testing skills or knowledge in acompetitive way rather than questions involving self-reflection. The staff mentioned that animportant value at the center is to support youth work at their own pace. Many of the activitiescompleted by youth are self-directed by design and so if someone needs to take more or less timethey can do that. According to one of the staff, a common moto at DHF is that “we can all learnfrom each other.” This value contrasted with the format of the assessments that requiredeveryone to complete the activities at roughly the same time.Finally, the staff identified logistical challenges that impacted the post-course assessments.

resist this standardization. ● Energy efficiency is not the be-all and end-all: Reflection questions that are built into class activities begin to reveal to students that energy efficiency is not always the answer. For example, while the U.S. has a fixation with maximizing the energy efficiency of appliances, much of Europe passively cools buildings by manipulating air flow during certain times of the day. Students learn to consider how heating and cooling are actualized based on culture, climate, and resources.In our poster, we will also report on how students respond to this approach (this data is currentlybeing collected.).

The intent is to reduce student workload by incorporating PLTL with existingassessments vice requiring additional assignments. The authors plan to scale this work beyondthe three previously identified courses.ConclusionThe results so far have been encouraging and show the peer support intervention has positiveeffects on student grades. The course averages indicate that students involved with PLTLactivities have higher course averages an indicator of academic success that has potential to leadto persistence in engineering pathways compared to those students not involved with PLTLactivities. This preliminary data appears to support the overall
