. The Integrative GraduateEducation Research and Traineeship on Magnetic and Nanostructured Materials (IGERT-MNM)is a collaboration between Purdue University, Cornell University, and Norfolk State Universityto train interdisciplinary science and engineering doctoral students for future roles as leaders inthe materials science and engineering fields. As part of this socialization into future careers,students proceed through a variety of modules. This paper specifically covers student learning ina pedagogy module, which introduces students to best practices in teaching and learning.Graduate student reflections on the development of high-school level student and teacher scienceand engineering activities were analyzed via thematic coding methods in

run of a faculty development program called WritingAcross Engineering (WAE). The program draws heavily on the Writing Across the Curriculum(WAC) and Writing in the Disciplines (WID) literature [2], [4]–[9], but differs in three key ways.First, WAE is grounded in a sustained interdisciplinary collaboration designed and led by a teamthat spans Physics, Engineering, and Writing Studies. Second, rather than the typical one-offintensive workshop model, WAE organized weekly meetings of a small cohort over a semester,similar to a faculty learning community. Meetings introduced technical faculty to best practicesfrom Writing Studies and promoted reflection and discussion about how those practices could beadapted most effectively for each faculty

With nearly 40 percent of the undergraduate ECE studentsidentifying as international students, such a significant international population posestremendous learning opportunities as well as challenges related to diversity and inclusion. Thus,formal efforts within ECE have been made to bridge cultural differences, develop interculturalcompetencies, and promote inclusion of internationally and domestically diverse ECE members.However, these efforts have met with mixed results. Our analysis of the interview data suggeststhat these efforts often were not

As can be seen from the bottomof Table 2, the average school wide GPA was 2.57. The average GPA in the programs follows thesame order as the aforementioned minimum entrance requirements by program. This result is tobe expected, as those who did the best in first year would be expected to continue to achieve highresults in their second year. On the other hand, the material in Dynamics is more aligned with theinterests and strengths of Mechanical and Civil Engineers than with Chemical Engineers. Thisalignment may indicate that students are not necessarily enrolled in the program that is bestaligned

Due to the complex and multifaceted nature of education, researchers arestill exploring the correlations and causation between various pedagogies and their impacts onstudent retention rates. For senior high school students, cultural norms and other external factorscan influence their motivation and habits [9] - [11]. Research studies have demonstrated thatinterventions such as goal setting, self-reflection, and providing feedback are effective inenhancing student motivation and academic achievement.

The diversity of the teacher workforce in the USA,however, does not reflect the diversity of the student population, resulting in most Americanstudents coming from different backgrounds than their teachers [1]. When teachers do notunderstand the different backgrounds of their students, learning can be inhibited. As Delpit [2]explains, “We educators set out to teach, but how can we reach the worlds of others when wedon't even know they exist?” (pg. 14).One way educators can learn more about the cultures of their students is through the use ofethnographic observation methods [3,4]. Through studying the communities and homes of theirstudents, teachers can identify local and familial funds of knowledge that students bring

Self assessment is an importantskill because it provides an element of ownership of the learning, is needed inprofessional life, helps to develop self confidence and provides a way to give promptfeedback. Self assessment is a valued skill because it seems to be related to self imageand self confidence which, in turn, are related to exam anxiety, and propensity toprocrastinate.We used five components to develop and apply skill in self assessment: a 4 to 6 hourworkshop, resume writing, reflective journal

Analysis of the essays shows that students typically did see connections; in many cases,these were connected to the course content. However, in other cases, students noted that they hadlearned problem-solving skills, time management, or other skills that were not directly connectedto the class content, which were also useful in their co-op assignments and future careers.

However, they can traverse theearth’s curve by means of diffraction, reflection, refraction or reflection. Signals that propagatebelow 10 km from the earth’s surface, are referred to as ground-waves, and those that propagatevia refraction or reflection off the ionosphere are referred to as sky-waves.

This paper follows on the author’s previous work [3], which argues for therepoliticization of engineering knowledge through curricular interventions for a more liberatoryengineering education. Interdisciplinary and context-rich approaches have been shown to elicit deeperlearning in general [4], and to engage marginalized students more effectively [5].
