Recentwork [1] developed accessibility standards for textually describing images, figures, graphs,animations, and other visual elements for a series of interactive web native mechanicalengineering textbooks [22]-[23]. These new standards include: (i) alt text that balances precisionwith conciseness; (ii) structuring alt text to initially capture key information, then incrementallyadding in finer details; (iii) well-defined procedures for describing specific, yet common visualelements (e.g., phase diagrams, phase transformation plots, T-s and p-v diagrams, andtime-response plots); and (iv) alt text for animated visual elements that fully describe all dynamicprocesses and intermediate movements.

Moreover, thestudents gained a stronger understanding of engineering in general, while developing self-confidence needed to excel in engineering related fields. Others felt valued by being treated asstudents in top tier institutions, while a few mentioned the rigor of the course is needed to ensurethe quality of education. These results were also reflected in student responses from the tier-oneinstitution.REFERENCES[1] Alon, S., 2007.

The intersectional mentorship model framing this postdoc program is based on researchconducted by Dr. Cox, with some adaptations from Walker et al.’s (2009) The Formation ofScholars, which presents a multiple apprenticeship framework that offers a holistic approach tomentoring for scholars.

CIT21400 course. In this study, we integrated the microlearning instructional approach into CIT 21400to help engage students and retain the knowledge gained through the introduction to datamanagement course. CIT 21400 is a required class for all CIT students and a prerequisite for allother courses in the data-management concentration. Figure 1 shows the current plan of study forthe CIT data-management concentration; we draw particular attention to CIT 21400’s position asa prerequisite course for all data-management courses. Approximately 140 students who enroll inCIT 21400 will directly benefit per academic year. We anticipate seeing learning and performancegains over time as students continue in their programs as an outcome of our research
distribution (both standard deviation and range) ofconscientiousness had positive correlation while the min conscientiousness had negativecorrelation with both novelty and complexity measures of the CPSS evaluation. Agreeablenessand neuroticism had a positive correlation with DQR measures. A plausible causal mechanism isthat agreeableness would improve team collaboration and thereby design team outcome.Interestingly, neuroticism showed a positive correlation with the DQR framework in both theteam maximum and the interval/standard deviation. This implies that having a team member withhigh neuroticism is a positive factor, but it is also beneficial to balance that with team member(s)with lower neuroticism scores.

belowsummarizes the findings from our analysis of each article.Each article included undergraduate (and sometimes graduate) students working on anengineering design problem in teams of varying sizes. We focused on understanding the contextof each paper, the technique(s) used to elicit the mental model (“Elicitation Process”) from theteams and then the process used by the research team or the students themselves to generate arepresentation of that mental model (“Model Generation Process”). The design contexts in whichstudents were working were different and included topics related to issues with transportation insnow (Helm et al., 2017), designing low-income housing (Quinones et al. 2009), or designing anew desk lamp (Muller et al., 2009).

moreaccurately assess whether the online sketching questions are indeed measuring what we intendthem to measure.As noted previously, the first five weeks of the semester in EGT 120 are devoted solely to handsketching, before introducing CAD work, and the sketching activities continue throughout thesemester. Considerable time is spent in class providing formative and summative feedback withthese conventional sketching practices. Because of the importance of sketching in developingvisualization abilities, even with the success of the format change on exams, there are no plans toreplace current lecture and lab sketching activities with items and exercises similar to those beingused on exams.References[1] N.L.

. Based on institutional data, FGS continue to apply to, and gain admission, to CEASbut are not matriculating at the same rate they did a decade ago. IHE who can strategicallyconnect and support all aspects of the STEM FGS experience could develop a sustainable studentapplicant pool at the same time CGS high school graduate numbers (the pool that historicallyenrolls in CEAS) are decreasing over the next decade. In combination with changing institutionalbarriers to persistence and graduation outcomes, IHE can capitalize on the assets, funds ofknowledge, and the attitude of “no choice but to succeed” that FGS bring to table.

Student responses to open-endedquestions were scored manually by two trained raters in accordance with Grohs et al.’s publishedscoring guide [15]. Scores for each response were assigned and rationales recorded. An initialsample of 20% of the responses were scored individually by each rater. These scores were thencompared across raters to develop a consensus for interpreting student-generated text [16] andscoring guidelines normalized across raters. The remaining 80% of responses were split evenlybetween the two raters.
