The students were given flashlights,laser pointers of different colors, and various objects to perform the activity and report theirobservations (Figure 1).The pre-activity was an introduction to several concepts including light as a wave, the four maininteractions of light with materials (absorption, reflection, refraction, and transmission), chemicaldefinition of dyes

Participants were also asked to write a design memo as amechanism to reflect on the change they made and to share their teaching efforts more broadly soothers could learn about the strategy. The memo described the strategy the instructorimplemented, their motivation for selecting it, how they implemented it in their course, andpotential challenges others might face in implementation.Groups were very flexible in terms of structure but were designed to

contentstandards is also part of a larger educational shift towards standards-based education. As anexample of this shift, the Common Core standards for English and Mathematics were adopted byforty of the fifty states (although later repealed in a few states).In 2010, the National Academy of Engineering published a book discussing whether K-12standards should be developed for engineering, and if so how they should be incorporated intothe curriculum. After reviewing several approaches, the authors recommended that engineeringstandard be integrated into existing science standards to emphasize the symbiotic interaction ofengineering and science practices. The conclusion to integrate engineering standards into otherSTEM standards also reflects a larger-scale

The intent of the third is to promote a college climate that reflects a shared valuefor equity, inclusion, and justice among all employment sectors. As summarized below, readyaccess to excellent guidance on best practices for search and selection processes and for properapplication of promotion and tenure criteria, suggest a straightforward path toward progress onthose fronts. Progress on the third is achievable, but even with access to very useful resourcesacross campus, we have found that path will likely require considerably more creative

A successful component of many NWD programs includespairing future nurses with mentors who come from similar backgrounds; the ‘like me’nomenclature is an example of the value of cross-discipline knowledge transfer in terms ofoverall discourse. The nursing field differs in many ways from engineering or computer science,however needs related to underrepresented populations are very similar and knowledge aboutwhat works should be transferred

Lectures are kept to a minimum, as the student is expected to review the research articles, PowerPoint slides lecture notes, and book material prior to the class session.  Inquiry-oriented reflection-based active learning exercises: Discussions questions are used throughout the class session to discuss the topics covered. The students work in pairs or teams to discuss the material and reflection questions, and then present their ideas to the class.  Cooperative: The students create their own course module consisting of review of a research article

based primarily on student process and reflection, rather than concrete technical goals. Students also have a a high degree of autonomy in defining the specific trajectory and outcomes of their projects. This, combined with a group of incoming students with an array of backgrounds in design and fabrication, means that each project, and process, is unique. Thus, the course of each project and the advice given to students at any point may vary. Advice is typically given verbally.   Because of the open-ended nature of projects and process-driven emphasis of assessment, students transitioning from high school can find this course challenging. They are often uncomfortable with the decrease in summative feedback they are used to receiving and unsure

How the students themselves are perceivingtheir own learning environment is vitally important to their persistence in engineering[12][14]. A second study suggests that, though many behaviors overlap, some aspects ofteammate behavior viewed as important to students are not reflected in most instructor-created peer assessments. This study lists eleven behavior components important toteammates in engineering education settings. The more unexpected components of poor teambehavior include expecting teammates to contribute beyond their “fair share”, beingunwilling to take on tasks beyond clearly articulated
