Engineering Education, 2019 EML Indices to Assess Student Learning through Integrated e-Learning ModulesIntroduction The University of New Haven has facilitated the development and integration of 18 e-learning modules on entrepreneurial topics into regular engineering and computer sciencecourses. In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through

Studentsuse system maps to identify ways design projects can impact on society in ways that have bothpositive and potentially negative consequences. Qualitative analysis of student artifacts over fivecourse iterations was used in an action research approach to refine how to effectively integratesystem map representations that capture societal issues and address issues of justice. Actionresearch is an iterative methodology that utilizes evidence to improve practice, in this case theimproving students’ facility with, and conceptions of, the societal impact of engineering work.This practice-focused paper reports on how system maps can be used in engineering and whatsupporting practices, e.g

], faculty development [17],and e-learning [18].While there are many pedagogical approaches to promote EM, Active Learning Pedagogies(ALP) are extensively cited as an effective approach [9], [10], [18], [19]. ALPs are defined bymethods of learning in which the student is experientially involved in the learning process andinclude practices such as problem-based, discovery-based, inquiry-based, and project-basedlearning. In addition to supporting EM, empirical evidence reinforces the value of implementingactive-learning pedagogies (ALPs) in STEM classrooms – from the positive impacts on studentlearning and performance to the reduction of achievement gaps in underrepresented groups [20].ALPs have been linked to improved self-efficacy and the

underrepresented in the U.S. CS workforce.They make up 17% and 11 %, respectively, across all occupations, but only 8% and 7% of CSworkforce, respectively. Additionally, women are 51% of the population, but only 19% of the CSworkforce, as of 2018. Similar gender and race/ethnicity breakdowns are shown in ourinstitutional data (Section Institutional Data and Demographics).While existing literature confirms gender and race imbalance in CS [8], there is a limitedinvestigation of institutional, pedagogical, and cultural influences that lead to a lack of studentretention [9].

context of group lab reports, named the I-in-Team method. This approachintroduces a dual grading system, where students are not only evaluated as part of the collectiveeffort but also receive an individual grade for their specific contributions. By examining thisapproach's impact, we aim to discover how it affected students’ opinions of teamwork. The centralquestion driving this research is, "How can teamwork become a more enjoyable and productiveexperience for students?" Teamwork is the cornerstone of success in engineering [1, 2], a field where complexproblems demand collaborative solutions. However, the path to effective teamwork can bechallenging. The complexities of engineering projects present a distinct set of challenges

the original cohort of B2B, six participants have gone on to graduateschool in various STEM disciplines. As of the end of 2020, in the summer research program, 28 studentsfrom FRCC participated in summer research projects on the Colorado State University(CSU) campus. Ofthose 28, 26 enrolled at CSU; two enrolled but later dropped out, leaving their programs at CSU; and thelast is enrolled at UCLA. Of the original eight students in the cohort of 2016, five have completed theirbachelor’s degrees, three are in graduate programs, two are continuing their undergraduate degrees, andone dropped out. In the 2017 cohort, six have completed their degrees and two of these are in graduateprograms, and four others are continuing in their studies. For
computing systems, while others are more at ease exploring uncertaintechnological problems.Furthermore, because the content of introductory programming is deemed “simple enough”,many institutions with limited resources, including ours, rely on graduate students to teachcourses. Graduate students frequently teach for a semester or two before they graduate. As aresult, many introductory programming instructors do not have the time or resources to iterate andenhance their pedagogical practice. As student interest in computing grows, introductoryprogramming class sizes are expanding, requiring institutions to provide several sections of thesame course, resulting in variations in instruction quality and student learning gains.Our ANON project is
