The first competence that CRP teachers haveis student learning. Ladson-Billings redefined this term in 2021. She writes that it means howmuch the student grows in one scholarly period that begins in the fall and finishes in the spring-measuring this individual growth. CRP highlights this growth and avoids demerits of thestandards test; CRP considers that standardized tests do not measure other meaningful learningthat students could have acquired during the academic year.

Toaddress this, NYU-Poly developed a mandatory online summer math component in 2010 tointroduce GS students to math at the college-level.

Lord Byron achieved an immense reputation for his poetry and playboyantics in his own lifetime and is still regarded as one of the most important British Romanticpoets. Shortly after Ada’s birth, Lord Byron separated from his wife [4]. He died tragically ofdisease while fighting in the Greek War of Independence in 1824, when Ada was eight years old[4]. In 1833, the novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton wrote of Byron’s death: “When Byron passedaway, we turned to the actual and practical career of life: we awoke from the morbid

As the methods anddesired outcomes of engineering instruction change, so does the engineering education researchagenda. Further worth noting are rising pressures to relate research to practice, as reflected inmandates to identify the “broader impacts” associated with scholarly work in the field.This paper speaks to these challenges through the lens of our team’s recent experiences workingon a
