high need for assessment in change projects is often paired with a low prevalenceof formal assessment activity (Beach et al., 2016). To avoid this, a structured approach toassessment should be used from the very beginning, and conducted as an integral component ofthe entire project. During planning, assessment of “readiness for change” is critical (Reeves,2009; Lehman, Greener, and Simpson, 2002; Combe, 2014; Lynch & Smith, 2016). Movingthrough the project, assessment plans should be mindful of Banta et al.’s (1996) principle ofassessment stating that “Assessment requires attention to outcomes, but also and equally to theexperiences that lead to those outcomes”. To do this, Hall (2013) argues that direct assessment ofthe extent of
enhance the students’ understanding of microcontrollers andmicroprocessors, and (3) add one or two EET251 lab(s) with C programming experiences canhelp student better transition from PIC16F84A to ARM M4 which is covered in EET 418. With the help of this new curriculum and the common hardware platform, CPET studentsat PVAMU had the opportunity to practice embedded system hands-on experiments withoutundue stress in connecting basic peripheral interfacing circuits. The problem that we perceivedwas that it was difficult for students to write C program code for the ARM microcontrollerbecause of the complexity of ARM technology. It will be helpful to introduce simplemicrocontroller, such as PIC16FXXX, in both ASM and C coding in some previous
for example [40]–[43]). This line of research couldbenefit from the use of Faulkner’s and Kendi’s frameworks to investigate specific instances ofindividual and structural racism. To illustrate, we look to Murphy et al.’s assessment of GeorgiaTech’s summer bridge program, the Challenge Program, and its role in the higher likelihood ofgraduation for underrepresented minority students involved [42]. Georgia Tech is aPredominantly White Institution (PWI). Murphy et al. found that there was a significantrelationship between participation in the Challenge Program and increased retention/graduationrate [42]. Quantitatively, they recognized the need for summer bridge programs and theprogram’s importance in retention. What their study was not designed

this group was a combination of the fact that the areaof advanced manufacturing was identified as a gap in the workforce necessary to enableconsistent U. S. economic growth [12-15] in this globally critical area, and of the interest inguiding veterans towards STEM careers. The current project was conducted by a research teamof faculty members from the colleges of engineering and education at Old Dominion Universitywith broader areas of expertise: mechanical engineering with focus on robotics and bio-inspiredrobots in particular, digital thread, additive manufacturing, electrical engineering,microprocessor based design, material and technology engineering, as well as engineeringeducation. The team has also broad expertise in working with
active learning teachingpractices in their classrooms. We will continue to evaluate the data from additional coursestaught by the faculty participants to provide more robust and definitive answers to the researchquestions. This data combined with additional RTOP classroom observations will providegreater insights into the impact of the faculty development program on low-SES engineeringstudents and will be presented at forthcoming ASEE conferences and through additionalpublications.AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the support of this work by the National ScienceFoundation under Grant No. 1524527.References 1) Freeman, S., Eddy, S.

Typically, much of the “training” inteamwork is experiential - students may be given some theoretical framework(s) forunderstanding what is going on, but learning seems to happen during actual project work.Assessment of teamwork is non-trivial and tends to rely heavily on peer assessment, such as useof CATME [17].

though males rated the females’leadership competency higher comparing to the females’ ratings of males, male students stilldid not believe in the leadership ability of female students as much as females themselvesbelieve.Based on the Rowan-Kenyon et al. [19]’s study, if a female student could lead a team, itwould be useful for teams because females tend to define leading as facilitating team andhaving the responsibility toward teams. This may cause conflict with male notions ofleadership, so some instruction may be necessary to legitimize alternative approaches toleadership. In addition, the last two studies in this section proved in teams that are led bystudents, underrepresented students showed better performance. These results highlight
