manipulation of monomials.IntroductionDuring the summer of 2011, the teacher participated in the Texas A&M University-Kingsville(TAMUK) Research Experience for Teachers (RET) project. This involved conducting researchalongside graduate student, Divya Thummelapally, under the supervision of Dr. Reza Nekovei.The research focused on studying and recording various voltages as they pass through carbonnanotubes (CNTs). Since little experimental research had previously been done in this area, theteacher was literally a pioneer. As a mathematics teacher, she had never been a member of aresearch team nor worked long hours in a laboratory. She had no prior knowledge of electricalengineering going into the summer research program and experienced a steep

The details of this equipment are described in detail on Appendix C.Heat GunSince shape memory polymers are activated by heat, during the summer an industrial furnacelocated in a TAMUK laboratories was used for the experiments. This can be considered adisadvantage for the Legacy Cycle, especially when experiments need to be performed in theclassroom. However, as an alternative heat source, a heat gun with variable temperature (RyobiHG500) was bought, which

Holistic means that the interventionshould address both cognitive and affective components. Domain specificity means that anygrowth mindset message should be contextually situated within the subject matter materials.Hence, our next step is to develop a pilot debug training program within the laboratory sessions ofan introductory microelectronic course (Sedra & Smith [41]) at our institution.ConclusionThe

Drawing from the results of Year 1 of study and a review of the literature on graduatestudent stressors, we developed in Year 2 the Stressors for Doctoral Students Questionnaire forEngineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 [15] and in spring 2023. TheSDSQ-E measures the severity and frequency of stressors including advisor-related stressors,class-taking stressors, research or laboratory stressors, campus life and financial stressors, andidentity-related or microaggression-related stressors.

The studentexperience is largely to solve problems in a methodical fashion, and accessing knowledgethrough sequential presentation of textbook material. Though laboratory assignments arecommon in undergraduate engineering, historically, the majority of the student experience hasconsisted of strictly following prescribed steps to arrive at a predetermined conclusion. In theirseminal work with science, engineering, and math undergraduates Seymour and Hewitt found themajority of engineering teaching to be a deductive transmission of facts, controlled by theteacher, and leaving little room for students to understand
