Her research interest is in underrepresented students' access, persistence, and success, including transfer students in STEM and Computer Science education. In addition, she serves as the director of the Academic Success Initiative (ASI), a tutoring service program for computer science students, which also functions as a platform for tutors' professional development and career readiness. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com
Paper ID #37404The Engineering Design Process Portfolio Scoring Rubric(EDPPSR) – Initial Validity and Reliability (Fundamental)Stacy S Klein-Gardner (Adjunct Professor) Stacy Klein-Gardner's career in P-12 STEM education focuses on increasing interest in and participation by females and URMs and teacher professional development. She is an Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University where she serves as the co-PI and co-Director of the NSF-funded Engineering For US All (e4usa) project. She also serves as the co-PI, Lead Engineer, and Director of Partnerships for Youth Engineering Solutions

As programming becomes an increasingly central component offirst-year engineering curricula, it is essential that instructors are able to uphold academicintegrity by identifying students who engage in misconduct, either through direct plagiarism orexcessive peer collaboration. Instructors have an arsenal of plagiarism detection tools at theirdisposal, and students are keenly
energy on an“exciting” class that aligns well with their career goals, while deciding to “just get by” in arequired course. (It can be argued that this is typical of all people, who put the most time andenergy into actions that are most rewarding for them.) In specs grading, the overall grade isoften linked to the number of learning outcomes that are mastered. This means that for a studentwhose goal is a “C,” they might opt not to take a reassessment, or to meet a lower bar for a termproject. Alternatively, it can inspire students to master one or two more learning outcomes inorder to move up to the desired grade level. The key is that it is the student’s decision, and it is amore clear-eyed decision in the specs grading environment. It should
immediatelycontribute to a laboratory setting and prepare them for further research opportunities later in theiracademic career. As one student noted, “The labs were a good way to build basic lab skills andexposure for students who were previously unable to work in a college lab”. By the end of thecourse, 87% agreed or strongly agreed with the survey comment, “Gaining hands-on lab skills isan important part of this course. I believe it should be continued, possibly with more labs, infuture years.”Figure 2: Comparison of students’ confidence in their lab skills before and after completing each of thethree labs. While most students (63%) felt confident with their pipetting skills prior to Lab 1, almost all thestudents (90%) felt confident post-lab. The increase
