Baylor University, Waco, TX Copyright  2021, American Society for Engineering Education 2In Fall semester of 2020, the campuses were open, but severe limitation for lab access was imposed.The laboratory room that normally can be used for 16 students allowed only four students to be inthe room at the same time. The biggest challenge was the organization of Mini-Maker Faire at theend of the semester. There were a total of 74 students in the Control Systems course, which wasbeing used for Maker Culture implementation. Considering the social distancing requirement, therewas no room big enough that was available for the Mini-Maker Faire. According the original plan,the Mini

To summarize, children of lower SES go tend to go to a lower quality education programand parents fall victim to hardships which does not allow them time to help properly developtheir children.For young children to develop properly, a rich learning environment is crucial. A learningenvironment is defined as the conditions that affect the behavior and development of someone.A baby or toddler is a sponge for new information, their learning environment is wherever theyare. At an early age, a child benefits most from a well-organized, planned, safe, dependable, andflexible environment. TCC uses the SC-ELS as a guideline for

Of course, if the teams are to be selected by the instructor, there is thedesire to do it effectively. As noted above, the literature provides little help. Thus thisproject was initiated to determine what is the make-up of effective teams or who are the“good” team players. MethodologyThe plan was to gather as much data as seemed relevant from each student enrolled ineach class in the fall, 2002 semester, to organize the individual student characteristics bythe self-formed groups, to conduct a peer evaluation within each group, to evaluationgroup performance as always at the end of the semester, and then to

While it is true that much of the information was identical, thecourses each had department specific numbering and therefore the graduating department’scourse number would need to appear on a student’s degree plan in order to graduate, requiringstudents to “re-take” freshman courses.Another problem transferring students encounter is the satisfaction of the University’s computerproficiency requirement. Beginning with the fall 1999 semester, all UTA undergraduate studentsneeded to satisfy a computer proficiency requirement prior to their graduation. Students couldsatisfy this requirement by taking a test or by completing a course designated by their major Proceedings of the

We posit that active forms oflearning, enacted by teachers, when deliberately related to students’ personal experiences andgrounded in deeper learning strategies are vital for achieving transformation in practice.In this paper, we describe how a group of eighth teachers at a STEAM-focused middle schoolunderstood and elicited students’ funds of knowledge in an effort to bring an asset-basedapproach to the classroom.

It also allowed me more time in my studies because I did not have to dedicate my time each day to a commute from home to school, which was really helpful to me. This program also supported me in my career development. It encouraged me to go to career fairs and talk to recruiters, and it taught me how to promote myself.

mentorship programs.IntroductionWithin graduate education, there is a lack of proper mentorship and mentoring programs atinstitutional and college levels [1]. Mentorship is so highly correlated to student success andprogram satisfaction [2], as such, there is a critical need to establish and improve mentorshipprograms at these institutions. The National Academy of Sciences suggests that with improvedmentoring, “students' educational experience, morale, career planning and placement, andprofessional competence” [3, p. 65] will be enhanced. However, for this mentoring relationshipto flourish and be satisfactory, it requires effort by both parties which would ultimately create a‘mutually beneficial’ partnership between the faculty mentor and the

Additionally, if a student fails one or more of these pre-requisite chains,the student’s graduation will be delayed by at least one more semester. Another factor thataggravates this situation is that most of the higher division courses are only offered once a yearat CSU Chico and are not offered during the summer or at other universities across the nation.Therefore, the importance of passing the math courses at the scheduled semester is evident of thestudy plan to reduce the time-to-graduation.About 19.1% of the incoming freshman and transfer students in the College of Engineering andComputer Science did not enroll in Calculus as their first math course in

Given the abundance of data in today’s world and the importance of extracting meaningout of them, statistics is an important tool for any discipline including and especiallyengineering. This importance is summed up in the following quote from Walter Shewhart, who isknown as the father of statistical quality control: “The long range contribution of statisticsdepends not so much upon getting a lot of highly trained
