The researchers engaged in team coding to read and discuss each of theteachers’ reflections together and identify and code if a teacher’s answer demonstrated (1)teachers’ beliefs about each class section and any differences between the class sections and (2)how the teachers reported that their beliefs led to instructional decisions in each class section.The researchers then looked across the statements

The major aim ofthis project is to increase the understanding of the stress and coping mechanism networks ofgraduate students, as well as how these two different networks interact. The results will facilitatethe development of better support programs for graduate students.In this paper, we seek to answer the following research questions: (1) What are the primarystressors and coping mechanisms of current graduate students, and (2) What are the

Verbal descriptions and mathematical representations alone are notsufficient. To be added is a continued prodding with questions and problemsfor imagination and for practice of qualitative reasoning. Here we give an illustration of what we mean by an imagery-basedapproach. We use a sequence of images, Figures 1-3, to describe a process ofinquiry. When curl of vector fields is first introduced, students are presentedwith Figure 1., which is adopted from Purcell and Morin14 . We ask thestudents to “see” the curl of

They were thenasked to modify the code to accomplish a more complex object recognition task. Preliminaryresults suggest that while they were very interested in learning more about the Cozmo robotplatform, modifying the existing code to accomplish a new task was not straightforward.Suggestions include providing more explanation about the existing code and providing assistanceas needed throughout the implementation process. Future directions include enhancing theplatform for use in teaching real-time imaging processing techniques such as histograms,profiles, projections, filtering and

apositive impact on students’ success.One of the strategies to decrease the DFW rate is to decrease the class size from almost 60 to 30or lower. Most studies show that this would help the students to be more engaged in the course,and the instructor can have more opportunities to monitor students’ learning progress [1], [2].However, the logistics of this change is out of instructor’s hands as adequate funding, additionalinstructors and classrooms must be available. All of these are current challenges of theuniversity, but are being discussed and gradually implemented. Additionally, multipleresearchers have studied factors that could decrease the DFW rates in Circuits. These studiesinclude web-based homework system [3], identifying at-risk students

StudentsIntroductionIncreasing achievement of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) is a critical and difficult task [1]. Underrepresented students make up asmall fraction of the STEM workforce (13%) compared to white students (71%) [1]. Mentorship,particularly research mentorship, plays an important role in the development of scientific identity[2] and improves students’ moral, performance, and retention rates [3]. Therefore, mentoringunderrepresented students in research is critical for increasing their achievement. Students whoreceive research mentoring have described mentors as colleagues who provided them anopportunity to flourish. These students were more likely to identify as scientists, whereas thosewho did not

While international sojourns involving study, research, and/orinternship experiences abroad remain prevalent and are often viewed as most impactful, on-campus and online/virtual learning experiences have also been developed and offered toengineering students at many schools. Such programs tend to be more scalable and resourceefficient as compared to travel-based programs, potentially allowing more engineering studentsto receive some amount of exposure to global engineering without needing to leave their homecampuses [3

succumb to “shortcuts” such as these.One common digital method that instructors use to ensure timely return of feedback is “auto-grading”. Due to the overwhelming number of students enrolled in a course, many instructorshave designed their homework assignments using digital sources that will grade a student’s workas soon as they answer a question. Based on student survey responses, previous studies haveindicated that this method of assessment may be more suitable for multiple choice questionsrather than “problem solving” questions as the grading is focused primarily on the final answer,not the solution steps [1, 17]. Engineering coursework is typically focused on the steps andprocesses required to arrive at the correct solution; rather than the

students as evidence of merit.Introduction Project Based Learning (PBL) has many advocates for classroom motivation andlearning. Blumenfeld et. al. [1] presents an argument for PBL helping students learn. Alsoexamined in this study is the sustainability issue with regards to PBL and motivation. Wilkersonet.al [2-3] has shown good student motivation in learning new topics using PBL in a capstonedesign program. In these efforts it was shown that students will self-motivate and therefore gainmore in-depth knowledge then what might be found in a typical classroom environment whereonly specific areas are covered. Strobel et. al. [4] research indicated that PBL is superior forlong-term retention. However, in this same study traditional
