Thehydrophilic surface is wettable so the water drop spreads out over the microscope slide while thehydrophobic surface is non-wettable so the water drop beads into a spherical droplet.Some of the observed behavior was in line with science and engineering practices as outlined inthe NGSS [8]. The most prominent practice observed in groups was planning and carrying outinvestigations during the portion of the activity when students were conducting experiments todistinguish between the hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surface coatings. Students wereobserved adding multiple drops in one location to see if a larger water drop would flatten out.They also

The goal of this research is to identify factors related to course-taking choices anddegree planning that can affect students’ academic performance. The data for the study wascollected from three majors within an engineering school at a large public university: civil,environmental, and infrastructure engineering (CEIE), computer science (CS), and informationtechnology (INFT). The data includes more than 13,500 records of 360 students. Analysis showsthat low performers postponed some courses until the latter end of their program, which delayedconsequence courses and their graduation.

the summer activities were already highly interested in attendingcollege at the start of the activity. However, after comparing the responses on the pre- and post-surveys, the interest in attending CSUB increased as a result of participating in the activity. Inthe pre-survey, most students indicated that CSUB was only a backup plan, or that they wouldtake lower division courses and then transfer to another university. In the post-survey, somestudents had similar responses, but others had responses such as “[a] college education is acollege education, no matter where it is”, “[t]here are good programs here and it's local”, and“[t]his college has a good Engineering program.” These responses indicate that the outreachprogram increased awareness

military and veteran students believe their military experiences providedthem with the knowledge (skills and/or abilities) and discipline (will and/or motivation) toovercome obstacles, execute plans and achieve personal and group goals. Unfortunately largenumbers of veterans describe encountering significant obstacles while using their earned VAbenefits to pursue higher education opportunities. The key issue to mitigating those barriersappears to be how best to improve veteran student efficacy as it relates to their capability andmotivation in pursuit of higher education goals the students themselves deem valuable.

Even with worst-case assumptions for our recruitment and retention results, we would nearly achieve this criticalthreshold by 2025. Again, planning for worst-case conditions, if we were to cease all of ourprogramming efforts after 5-10 years, we would still achieve at or near 30% female for a periodof time (5-10 years) before the effects of our intervention wear off. This may be enough time forthe culture of the field to shift enough, i.e., orthopaedics seen as more “female friendly” bymedical students, to have a permanent effect on gender

These students value working on well-defined problems, andapproach those problems in a linear, sequential fashion. Some students describe a broad range ofpossible future selves, and perceive many different current experiences as being instrumental totheir future; their cone is wide in the present dimension, narrowing to a point in the future.

The outcome of thispaper is to ground K-12 engineering design cognition research, by making connections withgoals of K-12 education.

Additional student surveys will be created to learn more about studentperspectives that affect their participation and success in the program.
