will use the list of themes and codes developed by Garcia etal.’s (2019) servingness framework as a starting point of a priori codes, while also employingopen coding to identify structural characteristics that are specific to this context and do not fit thelist of codes in Garcia’s study. To identify the cultural characteristics, we will utilize valuecoding, defined by Saldaña (2016) as the application of codes unto data that reflects the values,attitudes, and beliefs about the phenomenon under study [21]. In this case, these codes will applyto the institution’s values, attitudes and beliefs about their role in serving Latinx students. Oncethe structural and cultural characteristics have been identified, we will conduct a second round ofcoding

practices for evidence-based decision making.8. Establish Standard Intellectual Property AgreementsFinally, the authors feel it would be good practice to have a small number of varying IPagreements for the projects. The length and complexity of these agreements should fit withinpredefined categories reflecting the nature of the project for which they are to be used for. Forinstance, a lengthy convoluted legal document should not be used for small student projects, asthis will turn a lot of prospective parties away from participating. These agreements should alsoaddress FERPA as well, in regards to sharing students project work in the future. Someuniversities have developed brief FERPA waiver forms for students projects.ConclusionIn conclusion

As we describe in the future work section, this workwill inform further analyses.3 ResultsIn the preliminary analysis presented in this paper, 30 student survey responses were analyzedand a total of seven content features, one layout feature, and two benefits were identified in thesurvey results.

That being said, averagescore for the non-destructive evaluation (NDE) module in Manufacturing Quality Excellencesession was slightly lower (approximately 3.75/5.0) than those for other modules. The lowerscore for NDE could be explained due to the larger amount and more technical nature of thelearning materials as reflected in the participant’s open-ended comments.

can to encourage students to become more independent learners.4.2 Independent learners and homeschooling practiceThere is evidence to suggest that the homeschooling lifestyle tends to impart independent learningskills to its students [9, 10], and that engineering freshmen coming from a homeschoolbackground are therefore more likely to take responsibility for their own learning [8]. This is onepossible reason why the homeschooled students from this study succeeded in engineering schoolat a higher rate than their equally mathematically equipped non-homeschooled peers.According to [8] and [11], some important characteristics of an independent learner are: • Critical reflection • Self-awareness (especially related to own learning

The performancedemonstrates a perpetuation of the achievement gap in lower-division math and science courses that continued intheir senior years. The net result of this achievement gap is a delayed graduation rate. Figure 3 shows the 4-,5- and 6-year graduation rates for URM and non-URM ECS students at CSUF. It appears thatthere is an upward trend over the years in the graduation rate of both URM and non-URMstudents.

Indeed, based on anecdotalfeedback, instructors have noticed a decrease in the number of interpersonal conflict within thestudent teams compared with previous versions of this course. Unfortunately, the instructors didnot collect any data prior to the use of junto for a more rigorous comparison.Figure 2: Survey results illustrating student’s perception about the team selection and

person holds the idea that they are incapable of achieving success in a math class, they have a “fixed” mindset about math. These students place themselves at risk of failure because they do not work towards growing in their understanding of mathematics [9]. A person’s dislike for math often occur during the beginning stages of school [9]. Moreover, one’s dislike and uncomfortableness towards math may remain with a person for many years and can lead to a lack in self-confidence by hurting one’s rationale and thoughts [4]. Possessing a fixed mindset can hinder one’s potential for math success as this mindset lacks self-reflection and embracing new ways of learning [3]. A person with a fixed
