research ([4]). Cooley, Trigueros and Baker reported results in 2007 ([5]) usingthematization of schema with the intent to expose those possible structures acquired at the most sophisticatedstages of schema development. Responses of research participants to a calculus graphing problem was analyzedin [2] by using APOS theory. The components of the APOS theory can be briefly explained as follows ([6]):  An action is a transformation of objects perceived by the as essentially external and as requiring, either individual explicitly or from memory, step-by-step instructions on how to perform the operation...  The individual reflects upon an action when the action is repeated and he or she can make an internal mental construction

skillimplementation.As the SI program’s effectiveness is assessed by aiming to reduce the DFWQ rates in first yearengineering courses and in turn retain more students to the ECE program, we provide a moreaccurate reflection of the effects of SI by comparing students’ grade outcomes using SAT scoresas a gauge of preparedness. Over the course of implementing the SI program in EE 306 and EE307E, we have endeavored to identify the components to emphasize that promote success whilemaintaining the authenticity of the SI model. This led us to explore the concept of explicitinstruction of metacognitive practices in SI sessions. The SI model implicitly involves taking thetheoretical underpinnings of metacognition and applying them in active and engaging SIstrategies [11

experience delivering maker programs. In the current project, wedeveloped three variations of a maker educator training program based on a successful makercurriculum that has been developed and refined over 5 years. We deployed the program in threeparticipating sites where educators and administrators learned to set up a maker learning spaceand deliver the curriculum to youth. Through interviews, program observations and call-in focusgroups with the educators and administrators, we found participants preferred hybrid trainingmodels that combined in-person training and space setup with online resources that could beaccessed any time. The participants also enjoyed having a curriculum to start with and expressedinterest in customizing it to reflect

Unfortunately, many of the students taking CHE 150 in the F2015 semester were alsoenrolled in organic chemistry together, and this course conflicted with the academic successworkshop, so only 28 students attended the in-person component. The 31 students concurrentlyenrolled in organic chemistry wrote reflective essays instead to replace those in-personexperiences.

These positional changes arebest used when other sensors are incapacitated or deemed unreliable.

Buffalo Undergraduate Summer Research Program BackgroundThe program supports eight weeks of full-time research, scholarly, and creative activities eachsummer. Program fellowships provide a student stipend and support for travel, supplies, and/orequipment if necessary. The program is designed for frequent face-to-face interactions betweenthe student and a faculty mentor. The student is expected to devote a minimum of eight weeks offull-time scholarly activity. The program starts in May (after spring semester) and ends in August (before the next fallsemester). Before research begins, each student completes a “Pre-Research Reflection” andforwards to an assigned mentor; the mentor will review the student’s response and meet with thestudent to

Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE
