Mathematics) wasdeveloped by the NSF (National Science Foundation), beginning as SMET and settling as STEMin 2001 [2]. The disciplines were grouped because it was recognized that they all emphasizeproblem solving and critical thinking skills [3]. STEM has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. Though each discipline within STEM stands apart, they are alsointertwined-for example, physics and chemistry play a role in engineering and ET, and math isstudied in all disciplines [4]. STEM does not include the arts in this grouping.STEAM (Science, Engineering, Technology, Arts, and Mathematics) is an acronym developed atthe Arts-National Policy Roundtable in 2007 [5]. The acronym adds a “A” to STEM toemphasize the importance of arts

some period of time, until the protégés are capable of making expertise-relatedchoices autonomously.There are many cases where the duration of the mentoring relationship is just a few hours,typically at an outreach, i.e., recruiting-type event, with contact between mentor and protégé ofshort duration, often less than eight hours [9]. In many cases, the mentor vis-à-vis role model andprotégé(s) will most likely never meet again, so first impressions often become ONLYimpressions. The member volunteers who interact during these “one and done” events withstudents and the adults who accompany them are defined as “role models” for this study.Overview of studySince 2010, in collaboration with Exxon Mobil, Design Squad, and the Girl Scouts of the

During the semester, besides the useof Tutorials, a very successful teaching strategy created by McDermott, et al.

completed using challenge activities. For spreadsheets, challengeactivities allow students to enter formulas, functions, and calculated values to test their strengthsusing spreadsheets. With hundreds of numeric combinations on many problems, students canrepeat a new version of any question until they compute correct answer(s). With over 100 differentquestions, the most difficult spreadsheet skills can be identified from students’ success. Thenumber of attempts before correct and total attempts will complement the percent correct to givemultiple metrics. Over 9,000 questions were attempted by the 2018 cohort and will be analyzedhere. Responses from the 2019 cohort will be compared in the conference presentation.Challenge activity scores varied
program, 40% of the population is comprised of women, a stark contrast to thesmall percentage of women represented in more traditional engineering programs. We felt thatinterviewing a proportionally larger number of women in a context different than traditionalengineering programs might provide insight into their construction, understanding, and valuingof knowledge(s). We acknowledge that this might risk having the male student having tokenrepresentation, and a follow-up study and analysis plans to address this gender imbalance.Data Collection: Participants were recruited from the AME capstone course and were chosenbecause the course is only taken by students approaching graduation; we felt that these studentshad ample experience with the program
projects were well balanced. On average, the studentsshared that the biological concepts were a bit more difficult than the mechanical engineeringconcepts (65% v/s 62.5%). Standardized pre-/post-summer experience surveys were also usedto assess the impact of the course modifications on the participants’ scientific self-efficacy andimpression of research (Survey of Undergraduate Research Experiences, SURE) [18]. Theresults from the SURE survey at the end of the Summer 2018 show that out of the 21comparative learning gains, the EGGN 122 freshmen and sophomore were higher than thenational average in 11 and lower than the average in 5 gains.

M1echoes M2’s response, evoking laughter from all group members. Following this interaction, theGTA addresses a separate, nearby group and offers several suggestions as to how to think aboutthis first bullet point. The group members in the study all look over and listen to the GTA’ssuggestions. After listening to the GTA’s advice, M1 laughs to his group and states, “Well thatdidn't really help.” The group laughs, then goes back to writing independently before F1 asks,“Are you guys writing actual stuff or just generic teamwork things?” M2 responds with a

resulting in a call to view the concept of belonging as complex,multi-faceted, and impacted by extra-institutional factors [6]. Recent research on sense of belonging among graduate students has begun to consider demographicattributes and characteristics of the academic environment [7-10]. Gardner et al.’s [8] exploration ofdoctoral students’ sense of belonging across different disciplines indicates that engineering doctoralstudents reported a relatively lower sense of belonging within their academic department compared tostudents in other disciplines. Recent work by O’Meara et al. [11] echo this claim, reporting that fewerfacilitators of sense of belonging exist within STEM doctoral program environments than in non-STEMprograms. These

We also plan to collect data from thestudents of these first-year programs using an exploratory survey. The questions on the survey willseek to gather information about students’ initial interest in engineering prior to enrolling in theirrespective institutions, their general perception of the first year courses they have just completed,what their intended majors are, what types of activities they engaged in during their first yearcourse and if/how these activities fueled or increased their desire to continue to pursue theirengineering degrees.References[1] S.
