There areethical guidelines for research involving animals, but they may warrant reconsideration,given new developments and debates over

During the pandemic, the instructors useddifferent online modes of instructions and at times developed new online modes to fulfill thestudents’ needs by engaging them in the discussions, motivating them to diligently study, and tomaintain higher rates of retention and stronger sense of belonging. Therefore, additionalparameters that could affect the DFW rate were added to the instructor’s choice of instruction.This paper intends to explain each of

That is, we consider youth in their cultural, social,linguistic, and institutional contexts. As youth interact with peers, learning communities, andmore-knowledgeable others to engage in authentic engineering work and discourse, they developdisciplinary knowledge and practices [12–14]. Engaging in engineering design activitiesincluding brainstorming, planning, constructing, testing, analyzing, and iterating affords youthopportunities to develop facility with the types of activity and discourse (speaking, gesturing,writing, representing) that constitute engineering [15, 16].

borderlands of identity from Mexican American women in Engineering and Computer Science (Work in Progress)Out of close to 2 million students enrolled in 2018, only around 2.8% of Latina students earned abachelor’s degree in science and engineering [1]. In engineering, Latino men earned 3.5 timesthe number of bachelor’s degrees in engineering as Latina women did [2] while Latina womenmake up only 2% of all computing bachelor’s degrees [3].

Roboticsis an engineering discipline that suffers from a distinct lack of diversity both in who participates in K12programs and later who enters traditional engineering majors associated with robotics [6]. Recently, softrobotics, the sub-discipline focused on soft material designs for wearable robots, has been used as aplatform to attract more students to robotics with new materials [7], bioinspired designs [8], and human-centered applications [9]–[11].

We can measure the effectiveness of the course improvements due to consistencyin delivery achieved through close peer collaboration as team teachers. The course has scaled up throughteam teaching. The course also builds in year-over-year consistency by incorporating undergraduatestudent mentors and course assistants, who are trained in the assessment methods, after having taken thecourse, so that they can serve as effective Teaching Assistants (TA) in the class to the new first-yearstudents.

. Moreover, the students have also taken data structures and algorithms, and so arecomfortable with designing, analyzing, and coding high-performance algorithms and complexdata structures. In addition, they have taken computer organization and operating systems. Thus,they know about threading, memory organization, and processes. All of these things—not just Page 12.767.3programming—are needed for writing games.Finally, by their junior year, all the students have taken physics (statics, dynamics andkinematics), three courses in calculus, and linear algebra.

By separating thread friction from sealing friction,students were allowed to concentrate on measuring the friction from one area. To develop theirdesigns, students used Pro/Engineer software.The students were instructed in filling out a preliminary “pre-patent” form to document theiroriginal idea. This was done in order to familiarize students with a very necessary part of thecreative design process, formal documentation. The student designs were reviewed by theinstructor and constructive feedback was given to the student teams. A final technicalpresentation was given by the students and their communication and

For example, theopening project of the AMES curriculum that introduces the Cartesian coordinate systeminvolves students guiding a peer to a certain spot in the class using only verbal instructions.Unless the student giving directions is very specific, the student following the instructions mayend up in a completely different position than the directing student intended.

A rubric that is co-created with students, used toevaluate peer, self, and teaching assessments, and then used to assign grades is an instructionalrubric, and a rubric solely used by an instructor to assign grades is a scoring rubric [6].

In addition, the program coordinator acted as a mentor to the upper classmen. In the end, a professional (as well as a social) network was formed among the student participants as a direct consequence of this novel style of peer/tier-mentoring. This proved to be essential since most 1st year engineering students (particularly from underrepresented populations) struggle in identifying a network of students within their major that they can associate with professionally and socially. 3) Career
