%) reported that they intend toattend college. Of those intending to attend college, (57%) plan to major in a STEM discipline.Following the camp, students were asked about their academic interests. Student participantsreported their degree of interest in Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science on a6‐point Likert scale (1 = Not Interested at All, 6 = Very Interested). The student participantswere most interested in Science (M = 5.43, SD = 1.03), followed by Mathematics (M = 4.38, SD= 1.56), Social Studies (M = 4.09, SD = 1.68), and Language Arts (M = 2.86, S = 1.42).When trying to look at motivation of students to participate in STEM disciplines, the internalevaluation team developed instrumentation to measure the impact of project

The student constructs their own portfolio as s/heprogresses through the program relying, in large part, on evaluated/graded assignments carefullymapped to outcomes. The final, graduation-level portfolios are a mandatory requirement fordegree completion. Portfolios have been used by the program for approximately ten years andfor multiple ABET visits. Faculty and members of the department’s external advisory boardhave traditionally evaluated the graduation portfolios. As the department’s enrollment anddegree production has grown significantly, portfolios have evolved to

Figure 5: Example Problem Involving Electric Circuits Page 24.1391.8After an introduction to Nodal Analysis and Mesh Analysis to give the students an idea wherethe equations are coming from, the focus is shifted to competency in solving the resultingequation(s). Particularly with Nodal, the student needs to be comfortable in dealing withfractions and finding a common denominator. After simplifying, the remaining equation is linear.Solving for , the result is 12 V. This can be validated using PSPICE, which can serve as agood technology application if the class is able to access this program (Figure 6). Figure

Student response to the use of the device in the classroom was positive, although formalanalysis of student knowledge gain was inconclusive. A larger study would allow for a morecomplete examination of the application of a modular and increasingly-difficult touchstonemodel device; furthermore, specific knowledge gain goals should be assessed in order to analyzethe effect of the TM1’s use on persistent physics misconceptions. With proper design, theseexperiments could be used to inform further curriculum development if the results are shown tobe promising. A

correct answer. Teams receive points based on thenumber of scratches it takes to determine the correct answer. Using the IF-AT form during thetRAT is key to help students correct misconceptions in real time, and the points-scale gives thestudents motivation to learn to work together effectively as a team without direct instructor input.After all teams have completed the tRAT, the instructor can give a short—typically 5 to 10minute—lecture clearing up any remaining confusion about the topic. Students are given anopportunity to submit a written appeal, as a team, of any RAT question they believe to beambiguous.The applications–on which the most time is spent in class–are problems that the students mustsolve as a team. The applications follow a 4-S
