CurriculumAbstractSince 2013, the Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering (IMSE) Department at IowaState University (ISU) has provided high-impact education experiences to as many as 35students/semester (~6% of its student body) through undergraduate research assistantships(URAs). These experiences support ISU’s strategic goal of ensuring that students receive anexceptional education, with sub-goals of improving the ISU Experience for underrepresentedstudents, increasing retention and graduation rates for all students, and growing the impact andscope of graduate programs [1], [2]. The number of students who can benefit from thisexperience in the IMSE Department has plateaued, however, because of faculty time constraints.To significantly increase the

While the Latinx population is the fastest growing major racial/ethnic group in theU.S [1, 2] and Latinx workers make up 15% of the general workforce, they compromise only 7%of the STEM workforce [3]. Although different scholars have offered several reasons behindwhy Latinx students do not pursue STEM careers–particularly engineering–many scholars haveargued that one particularly powerful reason is that the cultures of students do not fit the“cultures of engineering” [4]. For instance, the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council argued that engineering “curricular materials do not

traditional grading schemes to effectively assess student competency andachievement has been called into question by Sadler [1], among others. Guskey notes five keyobstacles to grading reform. He notes that grading has long been viewed as a means ofdifferentiation between students rather than a tool by which to assess a student’s competency andcommunicate that assessment to relevant stakeholders. [2] Recently, however, educationalresearchers and practitioners have begun to question the efficacy of such a perspective.Standards-, criteria-, or objectives-based course design has emerged as a possible path forwardfor the grading reform efforts. The central premise of such systems is the alignment of courseassessments with clearly delineated course

These scores and then added together to determine where the student’s fall on eachspectrum.The responses were then totaled according to a proprietary algorithm provided by the Hay Group.The data was programmatically checked for integrity, and the results were input into aspreadsheet.The LSI does not use the individual scores to plot the student’s learning style on the AC−CE andAE−RO axes so additional columns were added to compute these values.
