lecture, thestudents participated in an in-class activity during which they determined the most importantaspects of a molecular biosensor. The influence instructors have on students’ career choices is aphenomenon that has been noted (e.g., [13]). When instructors connect course content to theirown passions, perhaps students are more likely to attain the maintained situational interest phasedescribed by Hidi and Renninger [9].Respiratory Bioengineering and Biomanufacturing were two track codes that were never used. Itis curious, with the abundance of advertising related to respiratory issues and drug deliverymethods, that no topics were proposed in this category. Perhaps the fact that the class, andtherefore the topics listed on the syllabus, did

Reading a technical journal paper and learning the function of each portion (abstract, introduction, methodology, observations, analysis, conclusions, citations, etc.), 2. Defining the key components of effective research communication, 3. Preparing a professional presentation, and 4. Identifying the process of writing a journal paper.Students then review the syllabus to determine what topic is scheduled on a specific day and selectthe day that interests

. Thegoal of the lecture was to reinforce topics already outlined in the course syllabus while onlypresenting additional information, if it was absolutely necessary for students to understandaspects of the modules. Some of the topics already incorporated into the course curriculuminclude linear equations and matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and singular valuedecomposition. The lecture focused on methods for gathering data and representing such data inthe form of matrices and the utilization of basic applications of linear algebra on said matrices.The primary source for such data was www.data.gov and similar sites. In addition, students werepresented with the PageRank algorithm and a scenario utilizing it. Lastly, the lecture introducedthe topic

. TTF1 I view my role as an educator as a technical expert who delivers engineering knowledge content. TTF2 My students learn engineering best by taking good notes and paying careful attention to me during design meetings. TTF3 Careful planning by the faculty advisor and well prepared agendas maximize student learning. TTF4 Students develop an understanding of the content based upon information delivered to them in design sessions. TTF5 The syllabus provides guidance on what to teach students for their specific design project. TTF6 I encourage students to move on to new phases of their design project after they have expended the time allotted by the course

While it could be partially due to the relatively lower scores with which studentsbegan, the course was different from the others in the study in substantive ways. It serves as aFirst Year Seminar (FYS), and the 2019 syllabus describes the course to students as encouraging“self-discovery and an awareness of your strengths and interests. It provides opportunities foryou to reflect on and make connections between your General Education classes, coursework inyour major(s) and minor(s), and your lives beyond the classroom.

contribute tothe development of self-efficacy, CS/M identity, and sense of belonging?" As discussed below,current research efforts are focusing on the effects of the seminars and the mentoring aspect ofthe program.The second main research theme of the project is the effect of early CS exposure (courseworkand career awareness in freshman year) on computer science and math majors. For CS/MScholars, the early exposure to CS consists of the first-quarter CS seminar, a first course inprogramming the following quarter, and program events where career opportunities in CS arediscussed. Because many incoming freshmen have limited knowledge of CS, early CS exposuremay attract such students to CS. Evidence from our previous S-STEM project indicates that

. Female students link engineering to problem solving,analytical thinking, innovative, creative thinking, decision making, and teamwork. Notsurprisingly, the top reason listed (75% of respondents) for their friends not choosing engineeringas their field of study was their lack of confidence in their abilities, especially in courses requiringadvanced knowledge of mathematics. Past research shows that for female students, the key driversof subject choice are how good they are at the subject (94%), the subject syllabus (92%) andwhether the subject teacher is knowledgeable (91%) while 87% believe whether the subject teacheris fun is also important. Some respondents mentioned that the female students were intimidated by the sheernumber of men

, learners who practice theconceptual tools in “authentic” community (i.e., the community in which the tools were meantfor use), “…build an increasingly rich implicit understanding of the world in which they use thetools and of the tools themselves. The understanding, both of the world and of the tool,continually changes as a result of their interaction”[15]; the implication for leadership learningbeing that the more we practice leadership skills in a variable workplace context, the deeper theunderstanding we attain on leadership and our work.Although critical leadership learning can happen through course-based team work and co-curricular activities such as student clubs and teams, such learning remains rooted in the cultureof classrooms and post
