They also experienced the application of the tools learned in class. As a future step, it isessential to develop an assessment plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the research project. Toaddress the challenge that first-year students face in reading technical papers, providingadditional guidance and support is crucial. Here are some suggestions to enhance the guidancefor students: i) Research Questions: Provide students with a set of research questions that helpguide their reading and comprehension of the technical papers, as described in

There is some evidence to suggest thatthe integration of these skills mutually motivate and support one another while on the other handbringing computational skills into the same course as pre-requisite physics concepts may addmore stress to an already “at-risk” population. We plan to analyze the effects of this conceptualcoupling with student well-being and self-efficacy in a later phase of this study.References[1] J. Butler and M. L.

preparatory coding sessions between 2021 and 2022 showed mixed results.Although student perceptions of the coding sessions improved in 2022, there are several areas toimprove upon for the 2023 cohort. These improvements can be classified into a ‘curricular’ and a‘logistical’ category. Curricular improvements relate to the coding activities themselves –specifically, a clear relevance of the coding exercises to the student’s project needs to bepresented to the students when the exercises are assigned. In the past, when designing the codingexercises, the PI and host labs focused on providing students with a list of ‘typical’bioinformatics packages used by the lab instead of targeted ones based on the planned project.Moving forward, the PI will attempt

Some examples ofinterview questions are as follow: • What does chemical engineering mean to you? • Why did you choose this major, and what are your plans after graduation? • Did you know any chemical engineer before? • Do you consider yourself a chemical engineer?

Thus,with a division and membership already knowledgeable of these three factors, the ultimatemeasure of the success of all that which the division has accomplished will be the ability of thedivision to move into a more public focus.Normally, these discussion points would lead to the development of an organizational structure,attendant positions, and an operating plan aimed at their achievement.

Finally, we end with our conclusions and planned future work in Section 7.2 Literature ReviewThe Computer Science discipline has the highest number of academic misconduct cases whencompared to any other discipline [6]. However, it is not certain whether this is due to 1) trulyhigher rates of dishonesty; 2) the existence / use of more detection tools in the field; or 3) thenature of solutions in this field, especially to programming problems (i.e., there may only be a fewefficient ways to solve a given problem) [6].

A unique aspect of the GrOW program was that itwas led by (senior) graduate students (authors), who first-hand understood the needs of first-yeargraduate students, which yielded relatable and useful events. Therefore, the authors also suggestthat there be some involvement of students (for example, from registered graduate studentorganizations) in the planning and execution of such programs in the future.SummaryA year-long orientation program for gender minorities in the first year of graduate engineering atUIUC was developed and consisted of 7 events spread throughout the academic year.

To effectively engage elementary students in engineering practices to learn disciplinarycontent and crosscutting concepts, high-quality curriculum needs to be available and accessibleto all, and teachers need to participate in professional learning opportunities. Those learningopportunities should not only include them as learners experiencing engineering as a novice butshould also include pedagogies that are effective for scaffolding design projects and supportingstudents through the process of asking, planning, creating, testing, and improving.

Five questions about thestudent experience in the current course and their plans for the next course were embedded into largersurveys administered in each of the participating courses. In this paper, we focus on student responses tothe following survey questions: “What are barriers that might prevent you from taking the next coursein this sequence?” and “What makes you feel good about your plans to take the next course in thissequence?” Each of the participating courses serves as a prerequisite course for at least one subsequentcourse (for example: Intro to CS I is a prerequisite for Intro to CS II).We address the

The difference between factors appears to be the way in which a generalized notionof diversity is viewed as related to demographic markers of diversity.DiscussionDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ubiquitous in the current computer science higher educationclimate, yet definitions vary, as do perspectives regarding what forms of diversity are valued ineducational spaces. As DEI plans become commonplace for securing federal funding [28], understandinghow students, staff and faculty conceptualize the value of diversity will only increase in importance.The Q-sort

Case study is a research method that ”...investigates a phenomenon (the ’case’) in depth andwithin its real-world context” [18, p.15]. Once the case has been defined, the researcher definesthe boundaries of the case. These boundaries provide a clear scope for the project and help theresearcher make decisions about what data to include [18].As Team X’s original plan was to use a case study methodology to study traditional, in
