1 Percentage of students repeating lower-division Math and Physics CoursesFor students who pass their lower-division courses and continue pursuing a STEM field, thisdoes not often translate into success in math-intensive engineering courses. Figure 2 shows thepercent repetition rate for various lower and upper-division ECS courses. Many courses acrossECS consist of repetition rates above 20%. This alludes to students not retaining the materiallearned in their previous pre-requisite courses, and consequently, students continue to repeatcourses and extend their graduation date as reflected in the graduation trends in 4, 5, 6-yeargraduation rates, shown in Figure 3. Although the 4-year graduation rate has consistently stayedat 5% since 2009

This method requires students to apply theoretical knowledge obtained throughcoursework and lectures to solve a given problem as specified by the instructor. In some cases,the instructor may provide a model design solution that the students can reference as they devisetheir own answer to the provided prompt [5]. Professors act as facilitators of this process,guiding students to resources where appropriate and providing students with the tools necessaryto shape their design approach.This model progresses through three main stages: the development of a prototype, testing andredesign, and then reflection on the task, culminating in the creation of a report

The instrument was originallydesigned to assess the levels of teachers’ self-confidence in teaching science topics, as well astheir general beliefs about whether teachers have an influence on student learning outcomes. Theinstrument consists of two scales, the Personal Science Teaching Efficacy Belief scale, WySLICEYear 1 PD Preliminary Survey, and the Science Teaching Outcome Expectancy scale and uses a5-point Likert scale with response categories: ”strongly agree,” ”agree,” ”uncertain,” ”disagree,”and ”strongly disagree.” For WySLICE, the questions were modified to reflect efficacy belief andoutcome expectancy for teaching computer

Therefore, we believe it is worth reflecting on the benefits and challenges of thisreformatted summer camp and suggest ways online student experience can be improved in thefuture.In this paper, we specifically focus on the water quality module, which was reformatted for onlinedelivery. The module originally used multiple techniques (i.e., probes and test strips) to test thequality of various water sources, including a creek running through campus. The virtual modulealso tested water quality, but each student chose a water source near them and results werecompiled and compared for different samples across the country.

and sustainability is essential to address the issue identified above. The curriculum should provide a breadth of material to equip students with the concepts and means to incorporate sustainability design awareness into PBE. Sustainability and PBE themes should be reflected in the individual courses and in the overall CEE program. The basic components in integrated course design (Fink, 2003) for significant learning include: formulate the learning goals, select the teaching/learning activities, and design the feedback and assessment procedures. Learning Goals When the principles of integrated design are applied to the framework of integrating sustainability and PBE into CEE curriculum, the following

For example, promote the concept that the student is the owner of their learning process and that they should take time for reflection and be promoted to share that reflection, in the classroom, in breakout rooms, and in assignments themselves. Additionally, do not just rely on teacher-student interaction.

The effect appears to weaken as the student approaches mastery, and thedegree to which such abilities are sufficient or necessary for advanced work across all STEMfields remains unclear.
