We administered a survey to gauge the sourcesof knowledge students pulled from during the scope of this project (Part I), as well as the impactof the course and project on three different constructs (Part II). Analysis of Part I of the surveysuggested that most students reported relying on knowledge they gained from the course or fromtheir own research for the project to at least a moderate extent. In comparison, just under half feltsimilarly regarding their reliance on their own prior knowledge. In Part II of the survey, wefound that the project and course appeared to positively impact students’ sense of belonging
-university technical research, the lessons learned seem to apply equally well toeducational and mentoring projects involving 2- and 4-year schools. The existence of a solid,working connection between faculty from both types of schools can provide the basis for asuccessful pathway for CC students to obtain their BS ECE degree or beyond. The pathway getseven better with peer mentoring from students at various stages along the pathway. As the projectmatures, the transition between high school and either 2- or 4-year studies and from theuniversity to the workplace will grow in importance. The building of personal relationships withparticipating students and faculty will permit the project team to continue to track graduates asthey progress through their

Her work involves designing and researching contexts for learning (for students, educators, and faculty) within higher education. Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in

IntroductionAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires students to complete acapstone design experience that prepares them for engineering practice through team-basedprojects incorporating the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work [1]- [4].While capstone course pedagogy differs widely from one program to another, in all cases,students are expected, through the process of completing the capstone project, to understanddesign constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, ethics, and social impact.

Waterloo is developing a series of sixworkshops intended to be delivered to engineering students in all disciplines in their first threeyears of study. The first three workshops will provide an introduction to team-forming andbuilding, team communication, and conflict management. The last three workshops will providereinforcement and opportunities for application in the same areas and in multidisciplinary settings.This paper describes the first two workshops in this series. Their design is based on the principlethat teamwork skills are best learned by doing, i.e., by practicing in a context that approximatescommon team experiences in engineering. In the first workshop, students work in groups toconstruct a tower out of straws and connectors under

, students (1) designed a data-driven approach to learn about carbon dioxideemissions and (2) planned for the quantitative analysis of decarbonization strategies. The firstpart involved students collecting data from different carbon dioxide sources with an Arduinosensor. Then, they used the data to practice data visualization and analyze the impact of thoseemissions on the environment. The second part involved students estimating the impact thatspecific decarbonization strategies could have in NM. For example, if a student chose thestrategy of switching to all electric vehicles in NM, they would estimate how much carbondioxide could be reduced if that strategy is fully implemented in 2050. Additionally, theyestimated how the strategy might change if
)Recommendations for strategies to improve persistence rates at the undergraduate level generallyare based on best practices that serve to answer the deficiencies cited above. A partial list ofthese improvements would include the following: smaller class size or discussion groups,creating hands-on design classes, improving advising, and interviewing practicing engineers.Implementing these best practices in a specific classroom is a challenge, not only to theindividual instructor, but also to colleges and departments as well. A particular challenge forSTEM teachers is to reduce what Seymour and Hewitt call “the chilly climate hypothesis,”namely a classroom atmosphere that causes attrition in STEM areas.One solution to this perception of a “chilly climate

Although the faculty response rate was a subject of contention at subsequent facultymeetings, the question did provide a snapshot of faculty enthusiasm (or lack thereof) for thecurrent general education program.

Namely, how does the generaleducation program at the University of Evansville compare in content, if not in quality, withother such programs across the country?To answer this question, and to identify possible new models and best practices that couldtranslate well into the culture at the University of Evansville, a review of general educationcurricula of colleges and universities with
