civilengineering faculty have sought to develop their program appropriately along a set of commonlyaccepted educational taxonomies; that is, Bloom’s Taxonomy. These widely known taxonomiesare based on the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom.The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning: cognitive, affectiveand psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and hasbeen identified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”3 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows4: Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious
styles, and academic integrity.To build an effective supervisory relationship, first a workshop on Life as a graduate student isoffered. Students hear from senior graduate students on the challenges, opportunities, andsupport throughout grad studies. Additional topics of discussion include: 1) how to keep a happyand healthy life style, 2) where to get help? and 3) what are the opportunities for leadership orscholarship? The discussions are conducted in round table groups to provide an open format.The second workshop focuses on the supervisory relationship. This workshop is designed toteach students on their responsibilities as graduate students, and to give them a toolkit to build asuccessful relationship with their supervisor(s)/academic

A behaviorally-anchored rating scale is utilized to assesscontributions of each team member in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature (Ohlandet al., (2012)23. The grade for each team-based component is multiplied by the CATME factor foreach student and that is the score entered for the student. As such, if a student does not pull his/herweight, s/he is penalized by the rest of the team and gets a lower grade than the rest of the teammembers. Conversely, if a student goes above and beyond the norm, s/he is recognized by theteammates and gets a higher grade than the original team score.It should be noted that

As the previous computational thinking definition highlights, the problemsolving strategies and skills used in computational thinking will likely share many things incommon with the STEM disciplines. Thus, even though the prior implementations PictureSTEMfocused on STEM and literacy thinking and learning, there is likely to be aspects ofcomputational thinking also present. This paper provides examples of aspects of computationalthinking (i.e., troubleshooting) that are present without a claim that these are ideal or completeintegrations of computational thinking.MethodsDescription of PictureSTEM unit(s)The PictureSTEM curriculum was developed for grades K-2, with emphasis on the use

of affective learning is an obviousconclusion, rather than the lack of psychomotor learning. When an engineering student gave amathematical explanation on the question of “Explain the non-zero intercept of the shown labgraph” in a lecture-test, he/she was not using critical thinking. For example, in the 9.8 m/s/sverification lab using an object sliding down a tilted air-track, a graph containing acceleration onthe y-axis and sine of the titled angle on the x-axis is expected to have a zero intercept. Astatement like “The explanation of having an uneven table shows critical thinking skill when atechnician presents such data to an engineer” usually would be sufficient to re-activate theaffective learning in an engineering student, not that we
