The students were allowed to select multiple answers in the survey questions if they apply.The course delivery modes in the Academic Year 2020-2021 were in-person, blended and online.The most favorable course delivery mode during the AY 2020-2021 from the students’ perspectivewas “blended”, however, “blended” was identified as the least favorable course delivery mode bythe instructors because it was difficult to jungle multiple teaching needs from the in-person and theonline students simultaneously, such as writing class notes, interacting with in-person students,live-streaming lectures, using microphones, recording lectures

Julie is a former NSF program director for engineering education and frequently works with faculty to help them write proposals and navigate the proposal preparation and grant management processes. She was a 2009 NSF CAREER awardee for her work operationalizing social capital for engineering education. More recently, Julie has encouraged the engineering education research community to embrace methodological activism, a paradigm whereby researchers intentionally choose methods for the political purpose of empowering marginalized populations.

And anytime you kind of like make a small error it's really easy to see what other students are doing too, and it's easy to correct your errors being able to see what your peers are doing. So it makes sense.” “I'd also say [groupwork] was helpful. I guess, getting to know more students. Because otherwise you're just sitting in the lecture and not really talking to each other. So it was a good way for us to

Children in K-12 learn about the world through firsthearing stories, then reading stories, writing stories and telling stories. In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom. A teacher may relay astory they have read or heard to emphasize a point, encourage students to tell their ownexperiences that relate to a lecture subject, create a hypothetical story to encourage deeperthinking of a concept or share

All of these activities have fostered a tight-knit learn- ing community and provided ample opportunities for peer mentoring and networking with alumnae. Because we focus on recruiting first-year students and retaining them through graduation, the program has grown from nine freshmen in the first year to over forty students now who range from fresh- men to seniors. Our recruitment efforts have become more successful as the program has grown which we attribute to the active involve- ment of current students in recruiting and a record of the programs accomplishments. Retention is higher than expected; moreover, re- tention rates are increasing. Students are excelling academically and

To meet thisobjective, the program provides students with: • a mentor team, • weekly engingeering seminars, • weekly career development workshops, • opportunity to participate in end-of-semester and end-of-year reviews, and • annual scholarship of $2,500 for two years.Below is a short description of the peer mentor teams, student demographics, engineeringseminars, career development workshops, and the review

In order to ensure student successand to meet the needs of a changing marketplace, we must admit better-prepared and morediverse students to our programs. This requires all of us to be able to tell prospective studentsand other stakeholders about the value our programs offer them. Finally, to tell the storypersuasively, we need to answer this question: “What value are we creating for students whochoose to attend our school, and to what extent is this value differentiated from other institutionsor departments offering similar programs?”The GREAT Environments Task Force placed an emphasis on practices

Theprogram directors who saw the most increase in women’s degrees also talked of initiating aneven wider range of activities if they could, while directors with low-performing programsdiscussed continuing and expanding the same activities they were already carrying out.
