parents are frequently unable to help them navigate their educational pathway. 2) Knowing the Rules or Ambiguity: LIATFG graduate students may be unclear about the expectations of graduate study. They may perceive that their peers know the “rules of the game” while they do not know what is expected or how to navigate the system. 3) Living in Two Worlds: Families of LIATFG students are often supportive of college, but may be less understanding of the value of graduate education. LIATFG students may not feel they fully belong to either their family/culture, or within academia. 4) Seeking Support: LIATFG students can have difficulty building the necessary support systems (whether they be social, academic and/or

TCC 101, projects included several individual writing assignments to improve style, grammar,punctuation, conciseness, word choice, topic sentences, critical analysis, and argumentation.Some of these were peer-reviewed and subsequently revised. One key early paper was to weighthe ethical aspects of the Dow Corning silicone breast implants controversy in light of scientific-technical knowledge. Students also received instruction in organizing and delivering oneindividual and two team oral presentations. Most class time was used for cooperative learningworkshops in which students discussed an issue, solved a problem, and/or gathered informationin groups of three or more and then shared their group's results with the rest of the class

The effectiveness of activelearning strategies compared to the traditional lecture approach, when implemented well, has beenempirically validated and documented in engineering education literature. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore engineering faculty’s use of active learning strategies in their teaching in aMidwestern university’s college of engineering context. Data sources included a survey about the facultyknowledge and use of active learning strategies and follow-up semi-structured interviews that aimed togather an in-depth understanding of their implementation of active learning

mid-semester and final oralpresentations provided additional insight. However, the peer-assessments were student biased,and so instructor’s evaluation involved some speculation. An additional teamwork assessment isrecommended in other classes. Also, a single final report was submitted by each group, and so itwas not possible to assess the individual performance for written communication. A more validapproach would be to assess writing skills for individual laboratory reports from other classesduring the senior year. The new rubrics would be much more effective if used in a variety ofcourses.ConclusionA pilot study has been conducted for three new rubrics to assess communication and teamworkskills.

First, the instructor must recognize theASD student’s learning style. The needs of the student and the learning styles vary by individual.For freshman year instructors it may be difficult to determine these needs in a timely manner,since most students do not self-disclose their disability. Observation and communication with thestudent are key in this step. Many first year engineering courses utilize individual and groupwork with both written assignments and “hands-on” projects including writing, drawing,problem solving, scheduling, budgeting, and craftsmanship

Those respondents who did not use active learning were unsure how to usethese methods in their specific class, believe that their teaching responsibilities did not allowthem to use these approaches, or did not feel as though active learning was necessary. Thispaper examines these responses further to determine whether or not their teachingresponsibilities, their confidence with a variety of teaching-related tasks (e.g., lesson planning,working with students, etc.), and use of teaching peer mentors influence their decisions toincorporate active learning into their teaching practice.
