. To satisfy this goal, we offer differentgeneral engineering courses. Most of our students (~80%) enroll in Introduction to Engineering Ior Honors Introduction to Engineering I. Students who are under-prepared in math and do nothave necessary prerequisites for the first semester of 8-semester engineering degree plans areenrolled in Fundamentals of Success in Engineering Study [1]. We also have a small group ofstudents (~10%) who are well ahead of the requirements and are offered to take a special sectionof Honors Introduction to Engineering I course along with the optional Honors ResearchExperience and Honors Innovation Experience courses [2].

A couple of important features on the NRClist are 1) the importance and role of theory and 2) the line of reasoning. Together, they provideexcellent guidance for planning, conducting, and reporting engineering education research.The overriding question facing the AREE developers and researchers (Norman Fortenberry, KarlSmith, Alisha Waller, Ann McKenna, Susan Donohue, Beth Cady, and Wendy Knapp) was,what can be done to help build the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to conduct high-qualityengineering education research?AREE’s mission was to provide access to resources and to engage the engineering educationresearch community in a consensus-seeking conversation

Allstudents were ME majors and nine were juniors. Students met weekly with the sponsoring facultyto receive feedback on their progress and guidance about the next steps. They also presented theirproject to an external ME faculty at mid-semester and presented their results verbally at the end ofthe semester. We started the semester by asking students to survey current soft robotics literature,identifying types of actuation principles used to control soft robots, actions the robots perform,and the targeted

This might have been because students’ knowledge of manufacturing processes grows during their time in ManP and they may be developing manufacturing plans without a full understanding of manufacturing.6.

visions of change, such as diversity goalsand strategic plans that seldom address the institutionalized racism that plagues theexperiences of Black students. (Dumas & Ross, 2016; Baber, 2015). The attempt to supportBlackness while neglecting the racialized experiences of Black students at the hands of Whitesupremacy is a phenomenon scholars have found to be commonplace among PWIs. As PWIsbegan establishing themselves as educational and research powerhouses, White malesupremacy was the grounding ideology for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education (Slaton, 2010). Scientific racism in the 1800s and 1900s was a product ofperceptions and beliefs about the inferiority of Black people (Roberts, 2011). These beliefspermeate

Hence, this study finds that the preparation and use of study sheets for examination does impactstudents’ performance.
