The object of this research isto discover pathways of engineering undergraduate students in their first two years in order tobetter understand their engineering identity and the relationship to graduation. Assessment of theengineering identity and mindset during the sophomore year will be done to both understand thegrowing diverse student body and to suggest changes in student and faculty engagement andinstructional activities. In this project, the authors will: (1) identify biases formed by studentswhen they choose

During the first phase of our current project, the research team developed thisprototype course, called the CALC course herein. This course is based on our initial ideas of howcollective argumentation can be used to teach students how to code. This course was offered topracticing teachers during the 2018 spring semester, and the aim was to determine how theseteachers would use collective argumentation to learn how to code and what lesson plans theywould develop to teach their students how to code.

However,other areas such as a student’s engagement in the campus community [2][3], relationships withother students [1], and understanding how to use campus resources[3], are addressable withinintroductory courses. For this project, researchers present preliminary results from a studydesigned to increase student retention in a first-year engineering program by implementingcourse activities that encourage students to become engaged in the campus community and betterunderstand how to use existing campus resources.The pilot study occurred during the fall 2017 semester at a regional university that catersprimarily

For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this
