better than on the class periods that they did not engage in Nearpod.5 ConclusionOverall, Nearpod use received very favorable feedback. As an instructor, I was able to see whichparts of the lecture that students were understanding, and which areas required additional timeand attention. Student engagement improved through the use of Nearpod. Nearpod is an exampleof using gamification and technology to improve the student classroom experience. I plan toutilize Nearpod in all my future Computer Science classes. Future research could be done todetermine the optimal number of times during the semester to utilize the tool. Toward the end ofthe semester, I realized that there was a student paced setting on Nearpod that I could use toallow the students
Rome, Italy was an eye-openingexperience. I am studying Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Chemistry.I really enjoyed my time abroad. The program that I went on was an affiliated partner with Tech,called Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA). During my time with CEA, I took two classes that applyto my degree plan, which has allowed me advance in my curriculum and open space this upcomingyear to take extra classes for a Chemistry minor.What I learned and experienced outside of class was something that I will cherish for the rest of mylife. I always knew that the world was a big place, but on this trip, I was able to see this truth. Ivisited different places in Italy with CEA, including Florence, Pompeii, Sorrento, and Capri.Student 2

survey. The literature reviewreveals 1) a lack of consistency in defining CMC in scholarly literature, 2) a focus on strategicrather than operational perspectives, and 3) widespread confusion regarding the role of eachorganization in CMC partnerships [7]. Important to the current study, these authors summarizedthat the most fruitful CMCs arose when collaborating organizations shared values and hadcompatible goals. Survey results from 166 respondents across 19 countries reveal differingdefinitions, social and historical disparities, and political interference creating barriers tosuccessful CMC. The recommendations of Khorram-Manesh et al. for improved CMC include 1)defining the collaboration, 2) building trust, 3) planning interactions, and 4
=4.20;SD = .51). This shows that non-STEM students perceive high overall, individual, and sharedmetacognition when they participate in the inquiry-based case-based activities.Research question 3The descriptive results revealed that both STEM and non-STEM students had high perceivedoverall metacognition (M=4.34; SD=.56). Both STEM and non-STEM students had highperceived self-regulation (M=4.43; SD = .57) and co-regulation (M=4.23; SD = .65). Thissuggests that when students participate in inquiry-based learning in either STEM or non-STEM,they will have high metacognition because of the strategies that help them plan, monitor, andregulate their learning process to accomplish goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation.When we examined the

Teachersalso reported that they themselves were learning new concepts as part of the implementation ofthe modules within their classrooms, and desired more professional learning to help them feelempowered to engage with the Robotarium and the instructional module.Discussion:The application of the Robotarium
offormal programs. Thus, some new efforts are being made into including socialization with othersin the program. Some of the challenges in the program were in sustaining engagement by students due totheir location over two campuses and their responsibilities and workloads of their graduatestudies. Thus, finding a common time was not possible so creating access through varyingdays/times and modalities was necessary. In addition, there were also challenges due to thepandemic affecting in-person event planning and the strain many students felt at that time. Inaddition, more participants are needed to measure self-advocacy knowledge and skills ofgraduate students more broadly before they engage in this type of professional development. If

This approach not only enhances the students' abilityto apply fluid mechanics principles in real-world contexts but also ingrains a sustainabilitymindset, preparing them to contribute effectively to addressing the environmental challenges ofour time.MethodsTo deepen students' insights into environmental issues, we plan to infuse the engineering syllabuswith key geology elements. This interdisciplinary approach aims to equip students with theability to apply fundamental engineering concepts—such as

Over the three years we also adjusted the program based on feedback fromstudents and our observations. For example, we consolidated our bootcamp and adjusted ourgraduate ambassador training. We will also include the support services we offer to both groupsin our planning and onboarding.

Of course, the goal was notonly for students to know how to use these electronic tools, but to know how they can be appliedin a variety of circumstances. The course was planned to follow Bloom’s model of learning wherethe students first memorized the various tools of the SolidWorks software and what they were usedfor. It was later in the semester when the course transitioned towards a more application andcreation form of learning where students were expected to utilize what they had learned towardsmore open-ended tasks. This was most prevalent with a project assignment where the students hadcomplete creative freedom in what they designed within the

MechanicalEngineering students at Farmingdale State College. There are typically three class sessions oftwenty students each semester. Historically, the lab portion of this course has been focused onsimulation experiments through National Instruments Multisim software. The textbook used forthe lab portion was developed by Professor Leon J. Taub of Farmingdale State College specificallyfor this course and therefore covers the course topics very well [1]. However, students haveindicated in course evaluations that they would like to see more hands-on activity in the courseand that they do not have a real sense of the circuits being taught in the lecture with the simulation-based labs. In this paper, I will outline the hands-on labs that I plan to introduce

The algebra procedure in the derivation of theadiabatic thermodynamics process involving the log function was used to assess if the studentsunderstood the log steps in the radiation decay equation to get a useful exponential function-solution.The nuclear engineer skills in analysis and logical thinking were compared to the nucleartechnician skills in computer and critical thinking in the context of Bloom’s taxonomy.

exploratory study by Mena and Schmitz delves into views of mentoring from theperspective of the graduate student mentor in a CURE [3]. In this study, one particular mentordescribed his role as purely “organizational and trying to set out a plan of action” [3, p. 5]. Indescribing the benefits gained from this experience, one other mentor said that they developedskills involving “trying to manage everyone’s time and experience levels” [3, p. 5]. Anotheracknowledgment further said that the mentor usually had to make sure that they knew more thanthe undergraduate in order to help them with their work.From the undergraduate research perspective, a mentored research experience will have thefollowing steps. Firstly, an undergraduate researcher should

Students from the No-COIL and COIL+ groups said it has moderatelyimpacted their career choices. Most students were open to working internationally or with peopleof other cultures. Students from all three courses said these experiences will highly influence theircareer choices.

The First-Year Seminar at Campbell University approaches helping studentsunderstand engineering with a ‘something for everyone’ approach that examines engineeringfrom many perspectives and asks students to identify and build on whichever set of perspectivesconnects best to their interests and career plans. To this end, a set of activities examining beautyand elegance in engineering was created to focus on creative and aesthetic aspects ofengineering, and other positive impacts of engineering related to experiences of beauty.While not typically considered a core first-year topic [2], exploring the concepts of beauty andelegance with first-year engineers broadens and enhances their

It ismade clear to the student with the Mechanical Engineer role that they do not actually have tobuild the device, but are responsible for ensuring the build happens, and documenting thechallenges and roadblocks the team encounters. Among the 64 teams I have taught over the lasteight years, I have yet to have a team that did not encounter challenges, and had to modify theoriginal plan the Project Manager proposed. It is important that students learn to expectchallenges and persevere to find solutions.
