However, for the Scholars who did not achieve a C, the PI ran a mini-course after the semesterended, to raise their skill levels to C level. Out of the two, one was able to continue to the next course,while it was recommended to the other, that he change his major to a two-year electrical technologymajor, which he eventually did. It should be noted that the student who did not achieve the skills neededto continue in the major, also scored very poorly on our department’s math pre-Calculus assessment tests,even though he scored at least a C in Pre-Calculus, Calculus I and Calculus II, which indicates that gradesdo not always reflect

In that regard, the design goal for MET 352 was asuccess as all teams successfully designed and fabricated prototypes.

Great professors and yeah, that's pretty much it.”Alex reflected on who had a role in directing him toward the engineering field and mentioned hismother: “It was maybe, her, pushing me to do something else [other than her profession], you know, turned me more toward engineering.”Another participant said it like this “... they [my family] don't truly understand what I go through as a PhD

In cross-generational groups (i.e., freshman, upper classman, graduate student), students were asked toseek out and attend activities on campus or create their own social event. The purpose ofattendance at these activities was to encourage relationships between members of the cohort andto foster a sense of ‘belonging.’ After attending an activity, students were required to postpictures and a reflection on SCOAM’s online learning management platform. At least one ofthese activities had to focus on a social issue

backgroundIn 2006, Jeannette Wing, at that time, head of the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon,promoted the term computation thinking (CT). She defined computational thinking as "a range ofmental tools that reflect the breadth of the field of computer science."[1] (p.33). In this same article,Wing invited the community to see CT not only as a set of skills concerning computer scientistsbut every professional.After 2006 a significant movement of supporters of CT started to look for a formal definition andcomposition of CT. In the last 14 years, over 20 definitions and frameworks for CT have beenproposed [2], [3]. Nevertheless, although there have been increasing efforts to compile a singledefinition, those were unsatisfactory[4]. It is the

The strength of such an approach is that it enables an analysis of socialphenomena beyond the abstract social structures (e.g. social, economic, political) traditionallystudied by researchers in the social and behavioral sciences (Wellman 1999).Ego-centered (or personal) networks make the individual the focus of attention where egodescribes people (alters) close to him or her (Boissevain 1974; Wellman & Berkowitz 1988).According to Wellman (1999), such investigations “enable researchers to study community ties,whoever with, wherever located, and however structured…and avoid the trap of looking
