The most recent data for this paper was drawn from a spring 2019class. That and prior classes usually had enrollments between 35 and 70 students. This course hastypically had students from engineering disciplines that were 65% mechanical, 15% materials, 10%chemical, and 10% industrial. Some of the details of the nature of the class, along with activities,assessment, and student resources are described below. The class levels of enrollment are typically15% freshman, 30

These materials supported about 10 hoursof interactor training. As with development of teacher materials, we followed the establishedmodel for developing interactor training materials from previous work done by the second authoron science tasks [40].Collectively, the interactor training materials are designed to prepare the interactor to deliverstandardized performances in response to varied participant approaches [42].

learning and retention. Thismay particularly be the case for engineering dynamics, where students are lost in rigid bodydynamics if they have not fully understood the foundational first part of the course, particledynamics. In order to improve student learning, two significant changes were implemented inFall, 2019. Firstly, students were given the ability to write two make up quizzes and one make upmidterm exam. All make up quizzes and exams contained different questions, but were at thesame level of difficulty as the originals. The details of the assessments, rules and constraintssurrounding the reassessments, and a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of thereassessments on student outcomes and student experience are detailed.1.0

Finally, the GEA office also relayed that based on theundergraduate graduating student survey for academic year 2018-2019, 25% of the studentsindicated their intention to apply for graduate studies post their undergraduate, and from thesurvey respondents 58% students maintained a GPA between 3.0-4.0, which reflects theirreadiness and possible eligibility to apply for the 4+1 program during their undergraduatestudies.The research attempts to identify the reasons why students aren’t applying during theirundergraduate career using a mixed research method design to evaluate student’s perception ofthe 4+1 programs.

Reflection is alsobelieved to promote deep learning [9]. A search in ASEE PEER for manuscripts with“reflection” in the title yielded 195 results, including 102 from papers at the annual conference in2015-2019 [10]. However, it is unclear to what extent reflection is standard practice inengineering education versus being explored as “novel”. The value of reflection has beenparticularly linked with service-learning, as a critical step in achieving particular learning goalsand/or helping the learner

Finally, at theconclusion of the interview, participants were offered the opportunity to share any additionalinformation or thoughts that had not been covered in the interview.Data CollectionData were collected in the fall 2019 semester under approval of the institution IRB. Participantswere recruited by email from advisors of the Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, andComputer Science majors. Participants were eligible if they identified as female, were in theirsecond year of undergraduate education, and were currently enrolled in one of the three focalmajors.

In November 2019, the Code + Chords team began this study to gain dataevaluating the effectiveness of one variation of a Code + Chords workshop in increasing self-efficacy inmusic technology.PurposeBy giving students the tools to intertwine coding with music, it was hoped that the workshops wouldcause students to better understand their learning abilities and become more confident in their ability tosucceed in technology- and music-related fields.
