-regulated learning, self-efficacy,and general well-being [5]. In our study, we explored whether we could help students persist inengineering by encouraging such positive learning dispositions and behaviors.In this work-in-progress paper, we report preliminary results from a one-credit course called“Engineering the Mind.” We used design-based research and the Transtheoretical Model (TTM)of Health Behavior Change to design the course and assess the outcomes. The goal of the coursewas to encourage students to adopt positive learning dispositions and behaviors by teaching themhow the brain works.BackgroundDesign-based research (DBR) is a research method that evaluates theory-based interventions(that were developed in laboratory conditions) in complex

Ituses very plain HTML constructs, without the need for page design software.Most engineering educators seem to feel the web and other such technologies will augment rather than replacetraditional lecture-and-chalkboard methods. The seemingly tedious method in which students copy material as theinstructor chalks it onto the board actually seems to transmit technical information at approximately the right pace
computerengineering courses. Within these classes are permutations of 12 unique TAs and 7 uniqueinstructors. From this dataset, we are able to analyze whether factors such as varying experiencelevels and TA roles (such as discussion mediation versus laboratory instruction) affect differentcomponents of their students’ grades. When analyzing our dataset we sought to answer three basic questions: First, do TAs producestatistically significant differences in the grades of their students when compared to other TAs inthe same course? Second, if there are differences, what components of the assessment processare affected? Finally, is there a correlation between the amount of previous teaching experiencea TA has and the grade outcomes of that TA’s students? We
minors at the University of Virginia are expected to have hadeither our introductory biology course (BIO 201) or high school advanced placement biology as aprerequisite to our physiology and cell biology courses. Indeed, the text used by the Departmentof Biology (Campbell et al.1) includes a relatively large amount of cell biology. However, many ofout students have much more extensive familiarity with biology, including laboratory experience.Thus many students find the “basics” (material suitable regardless of the student's background) tobe too basic. At the same time, other students enter the course strictly with the backgroundprovided by introductory biology, and need this background information.One must also consider what is meant by teaching
