ABET,one of the largest accreditors of engineering programs, has an accreditation model that includesthree elements: student outcomes, self-assessment, and continuous improvement.

The most significant scientific contribution that the present study makesis the development of an unconventional method of implementing clickers in the classroom. Inthis method, clicker technology is employed in class for multiple times to detect and assessstudent understanding of the same learning topic until student misunderstanding is corrected.To the best of our knowledge, this unconventional method has not been reported in existingclicker-related literature.In the present study, clickers were used as a tool to collect real-time data, as computers are usedas a tool to write papers and essays or pianos are used to play music.

However, when interviewed, instructorsindicated that they would continue to pursue remote meetings until everyone is vaccinated. On theother hand, the need to wear a mask and teach for the entire class period was inconvenient for theinstructors who opted for in-person hybrid mode.

this movement meant encouraging faculty on a large scaleto adopt, adapt, and create OER. Peter Reed noted in his 2012 study, “Awareness, Attitudes andParticipation of Teaching Staff towards the Open Content Movement in One University,” thatteaching faculty are open to sharing their work, but “they are not doing so to any large-scaledegree, that is, through specific OER repositories and open licensing.” 1 The challenge ofencouraging faculty to understand and incorporate OER can often derive from their unfamiliaritywith terms and policies related to copyright. 2 3 These concerns are compounded by facultyquestions regarding OER content quality and the peer review process. 3 However, these issues canbe mitigated by informational courses offered by

, and her storymay be similar to other students who do not make it through the gauntlet of engineering, andinstead find fulfillment outside of engineering.Additionally, an extensive body of research shows that students’ personal epistemologies–howthey think about the nature of knowledge and knowing – affect how they approach learning inscience, mathematics, and engineering [14-19]. A disconnect between how students perceiveknowledge and engineering pedagogy fosters a lack of belonging in engineering. For example, inone study, “Michael,” a student who valued sense-making over memorization, felt different andisolated from his peers and community [11]. His approach to solving engineering problemsresulted in a deeper understanding, more creative

Students with ADHD commonly identify high energylevels, resilience, courage, and the ability to hyper-focus on tasks of interest as strengths [4]-[6],which are likely advantageous for academic success. However, college students with ADHDearn lower grades than their peers on average [2], [7]-[9] and are less likely to graduate [10].Researchers attribute these students’ lower than average academic achievement to difficulty

However the first element of “designing an experiment” is rather difficult toaddress in an undergraduate course. The difficulty is due to many reasons including lack of timeto cover essential laboratory tests in the curriculum, lack of preparation of undergraduatestudents to design and perform their own experimental work, and the extra training needed tooperate expensive equipment.Some educators argue that it is better to have students run fewer but more open-endedexperiments than many well-prescribed and guided experiments [1].

Such techniques build on observations that agencycan be detected in talk, such as by evaluating the subjects of sentences (“I” versus “we” versus“it”) and the kinds of verbs used (“did” versus “should” versus “must”) [18, 19]. Extending suchtechniques to the analysis of written artifacts presents additional challenges, as studentscommonly use passive voice in technical writing, a trend that is reflected as well in publications[20].
