of papers implementing surveys started in 1994by Todd and Magleby et al. [4] that was followed up by Howe. S. et al. in 2010 [5] and 2015 [6],[7] respectively. The work from Howe, which can be found in the ASEE database, is more recentand relevant to this work. In 2015 Howe did both a qualitative and quantitative analysis ofsurvey results from 256 ABET accredited institutions executing Capstone projects in 464 distinctdepartments for a total of 522 respondents. This work looked at many aspects of the Capstoneexperience. One interesting reported observation was how various programs and institutionsvalued “process vs. product” in the final outcomes of a Capstone experience. Howe alsoexamined the number of semesters to complete, age of Capstone

Students use the website to schedule and attend team formation meetings where theynot only learn more about the project(s), they also help to formulate its deliverable and thusdictate project direction. Once students have more or less settled into teams, they update theirstatus to “joined” and seek instructor approval, usually around week eight. The project modulesare then utilized by instructors to track team progress and host all project documentation throughthe end of the year.In this way, teams are self-selected and self-aggregated; students must justify their presence totheir peers and show

Theexpansion of the model to three additional schools -- University of California, San Diego(UCSD), Boise State University (BSU), and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) --will allow for an examination of its malleability and potential for further dissemination.

Developing Shared Vision seeks to engage stakeholders in collectivelydeveloping new environmental features that encourage new teaching conceptions and/orpractices.Henderson et al.’s framework does not imply that all four change strategies are equally effective.In fact, Henderson identified two approaches - testing “best practice” curricular materials andmaking these materials available to other faculty and “top down” policy-making meant toinfluence instructional practices - as ineffective change strategies in STEM education(Henderson et al., 2011). Additionally, their review found that effective change strategies arethose that are aligned with or seek to change beliefs of the individuals involved, involve long-term interventions, and recognize
task of verifying the theoretical description of circuit performance is definitelyfound in the lower three Bloom’s levels. When the students were asked to predict the cause(s) fora given fault in the observed circuit behavior and then simulate as validation, they were workingin the upper three levels. Both of these tasks can also be done experimentally, but it may not bepossible to fully identify the cause of the fault using only one approach. Finally, the time andfrequency dependent data obtained for circuits using either method have similar formats and,thus, involve similar issues in doing them correctly. For example, triggering a scope (akadeciding when to start collecting data) and specifying time and voltage scales require verysimilar

In future, we plan to offer these as regularcourses in affiliation with local schools where a K-12 teacher can take the role of the instructor.Finally, one week for each course did not seem to be sufficient to expose participants to manyimportant concepts of either AI2 or OOP. Hence, running the two course over an entire semesteror two consecutive semesters might allow instructors to cover more programming concepts whichare required to solve problems in the real world.8.
