ability to external sources. The mastery goal isvery fluid, as it can change from task to task.23 Research has suggested that adolescent femalesexhibit higher mastery goals, while males typically exhibit higher performance goals.22,23 This canbe detrimental for males if their focus shifts too heavily toward maintaining their public imagerather than learning the material.22 Females focus more heavily on mastery of the material toincrease their self-efficacy perception over time.22,24 However, females are also inherently exposedto a “stereotype threat”. Stereotype threats are the feeling of judgement by peers based on societalstereotypes.16,25 This phenomena causes students to fear doing poorly for the fact that they feelthey may be thereafter

New instructors are forewarned that theyshould expect heartrending emails and face-to-face begging from students who want to passwithout learning. Some students will do almost anything to get a grade changed. Instructorsshould be open to show a student how the final grade is computed, yet should not alter any gradesbecause the failing grade with bring dire consequences. All students must be graded using thesame grading criteria. Examples of recent emails are shared to help prepare new teachers, one isincluded here: Professor XXX, I have tried my best to do everything except write you and bother you again. I have truly become desperate and I want you to know that I have
these challenges highlight the need to better preparetoday’s engineers with the intuition, skills and tools they need to tackle these problems. CharlesVest, 9 former president of National Academy of Engineering, asserts that engineering studentsprepared for professional careers in the year 2020 and beyond, “must be excited by their freshman year; must have an understanding of what engineers actually do; must write and communicate well; must appreciate and draw on the richness of American diversity; must think clearly about ethics and social responsibility; must be adept at product development and high-quality manufacturing; must know how to merge the physical, life, and information sciences when working at

First, participants were asked to recall the reasons that they participate inout-of-class activities and write the reasons on a blank paper. This step allowed the participantsto recall their decision-making processes freely. Second, participants read the Q-set and, if any oftheir reasons were not on the cards, use one blank card per missing reason to record each missingreason. These new reasons formed the basis of new items. Third, participants sorted Q-set 1 into three groups: ‘yes’ (this is a reason that I participate in out-of-class activities), ‘maybe’ (this may be a reason that I participate) and ‘no’ (this is not a

students are required to select aproject, identify a sponsor, write a draft proposal, do an oral presentation on their project,conduct a literature review, maintain a project notebook and submit a final written proposal atthe end of the semester. In the spring semester students must provide an update the first week ofclasses after the winter break along with an interim evaluation from the sponsor. Also, during thespring semester students are required to give updates on the projects during class, write a finalpaper and to participate in UNH-M’s Undergraduate Research Conference with a twenty-minutetalk and a poster presentation on their projects.The ET program has had long-standing relationships with many industrial partners, including theone

Sustainable engineering faculty housed in CEE have developed and taught four stand-alonesustainable engineering undergraduate courses since 2008, including CEE 1209 Life Cycle Assess-ment (LCA) Methods and Tools, CEE 1210 Engineering and Sustainable Development (ESD), CEE1217 Green Building Design and Construction (GB), and CEE 1218 Design for the Environment (DFE). Students in CEE are required to take one of these four stand-alone courses that address sustain-ability and grand challenges in depth. CEE 1209 introduces students to LCA, including
, andimplementation of an engineering design project, which includes formal report writing, projectdocumentation, group presentations, and project demonstrations. The goal of these courses is todemonstrate the ability to manage a major project involving the design and implementation ofproducts with a mixture of electrical and mechanical elements as a member of a productdevelopment team. In these project-based courses, the students are expected to effectivelymanage their time and team efforts to produce a finished product in three ten-week quarters. Notextbook is required. Progress and formal reports, and oral presentations constitute integralcomponents of this course sequence. Before beginning the projects, student teams are providedadequate training in
experiences, learning communities,writing-intensive courses, collaborative assignments and projects, undergraduate research,diversity/global learning, service learning/community-based learning, internships, and capstonecourses and projects.7 Another study published by the California State University Chancellor'sOffice shows that "Participation in high-impact practices has been shown to improve both learningand persistence for all students, but especially for the historically underserved."8 This study alsoindicates that participation in more than one high-impact practice increases the benefits for thesestudents. Other specific strategies that have been proven effective in improving student outcomesfor minority students include mentoring programs,9,10
setting. One of the most excitingresponses to come from the student survey was that 96% would recommend, or would probablyrecommend, the class to their peers. Therefore, we conclude that technology introduced into theschools through teacher professional development can make a difference in students’ attitudestoward, and learning of, science and mathematics. Schools in which this materials science andtechnology course is now taught are experiencing increased enrollments in the traditionalchemistry and physics courses.ASU has had several programs, including WISE Investments 9,10 and the MESA Program, 11aimed at in-service training of teachers, counselors, and administrators to better understand DETand to teach to the standards, particularly those
Asian American participants with Chinese heritages face lesscultural challenges than their non-Asian peers when going to China for research collaboration orstudy. However, our research found several unique challenges for this specific population. Onemajor challenge came from the “Chinese common knowledge” expectation they received fromChinese people. Another main challenge stems deeply and powerfully from inside themselves:the rediscovery of their self-identity.In our study, several Asian American participants agree that Chinese people’s expectation thatthey are “Chinese” because of their appearance create unexpected cultural challenges ordiscomforts that the other ethnic groups often do not face.

-riculum in digital system design. In the introductory digital logic fundamentals course,students are motivated to appreciate the role of digital logic in their daily life through agroup assignment to identify a product or process driven by digital logic (e.g., traffic lights,digital camera, calculator, microwave oven, etc.). They select, investigate, and discuss aproduct and write a web-based, electronic essay. Thus, while students are learning the ba-sics, they begin to see the relevance in something tangible. It raises their awareness aboutcomputer-based systems as well as raises their curiosity. Heightened student interest im-proves learning of the fundamentals and provides a basis for subsequent courses in digitalsystem design
coursework, suggesting that as they become more aware of theimportance of non-technical skills (i.e. professional skills such as communication, writing,creativity) they may feel less like they belong in the engineering profession.Previous findings have indicated that coursework highlighting the broader social aspects ofengineering can help attract and retain women, who view the social aspects of engineering asmore important than do their male peers. While we found strong positive relationships amongself-confidence, understanding the broad nature of engineering, sense of belonging inengineering, and attitudes toward persisting and succeeding in engineering for all studentsregardless of their exposure to sociotechnical coursework, our findings suggest

The instructor watched the video reflections to gain insight into the solution-generationand solution-testing process of their students in addition to assessing students’ work. Theinstructor awarded the maximum grade of the written solution and the video reflection solution;therefore, students could improve their solution on the video and earn a better grade.Students completed an optional end-of-semester survey about all assessment practices in thecourses, including the exams and video reflections. The survey data was analyzed to evaluate ifexam reflection videos were perceived as supportive to

social context in shaping individuals'identities. Advisors can be mindful of students' cultural backgrounds and experiences to provideculturally relevant guidance and support. Overall, identity theory provides a valuableframework for understanding the complex relationship between academic advising andstudent success. By recognizing the importance of student identity and providing guidance andsupport that aligns with their individual needs, advisors can help students achieve their academicgoals and develop a strong sense of self. SIT enables us to understand that there will bedifferences amongst students regarding academic performance, career pathways, campus andacademic engagement, resource utilization, and peer group formation.

For example, Dan shared about this by writing: I have learned alot about not only biology, but also how research is done, how to formulate a question that can be answered by data, and how to determine which results to include in a final report. What was most impactful professionally was the opportunity to see how my expertise in computer science could partner with science experts and together we could collaborate on a project, with each of us contributing our unique skills.

questions have been posted by the moderator, the participants arerequired to write a 200-250 word response on the discussion board the night before class. Theyare also tasked with responding to the post of one other participant before the start of class. The online preparation for course discussion has a couple of important functions. First, itencourages the students to read the assigned materials. Though certainly students can try toimprovise their way through readings and discussions, having to post their thoughts publicly fortheir peers typically keeps them on task. They also recognize that they will be asked to orallyshare their thoughts in group discussion which similarly keeps them engaged. The onlinepostings help students
