. The possibility that children have a nurturing space toplay and learn through football went from possibility to an afternoon soccer camp forchildren. Page 26.89.6The next step to make possibility happen is to enroll people into possibility and together workon a project. The newly declared possibility is shared with others in a way that inspires themand enrolls them into this possibility. Inspired by this possibility, people gather to brainstorma project, event, program or initiative. Teams are formed, a plan is laid out, and people getinto action driven and motivated by possibility.2.3.3 The steps to create possibilityThere are six steps to
mindsets. We encourage them to embrace the state of struggle that exists on thespectrum of learning new material rather than taking it as a sign that they should giveup. We cultivate a more profound sense of responsibility in the students for their owneducation. For instance, during the last day of the intensive, students complete and sign aformal-looking document titled, “My Personal Contract for Success in Math 4 andBeyond,” and supply eight things they will do as part of their study plan for the upcomingsemester. Some of the study plans include, “I will ask for help when I need it,” “I will notgive up,” “I will have fun,” I will become a PREP TA after next semester.”For both the Energy Academy and the PREP intensive, each four hour day included

Student teamswere approved following completion of a composite skill matrix, and an adequate plan toaddress areas of team weakness.Between 2010 and 2013 team and leadership development activities were instituted andelaborated. In 2014 funding was provided by the Provost’s Office for a majorredevelopment of the capstone course for blended learning delivery.

In 2020, the student registration fee alone will be $500.Responses to post surveys show that Tapia is at least as effective as GHC in achieving its goalsfor students.

Students tend to enjoy REU programs and find them valuable inhelping direct their future plans, often including graduate school and further research [12], [13].Recent research argues for developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering students[14], [15], suggesting that it is crucial that BME programs, including research experiences,emphasize EM competencies [16], [17]. EM interventions in engineering education exist toenhance the traditional technical-focused education engineers receive and encourage well-rounded engineering graduates [14], [18].

intentions foreshadow behaviors [15].Collaborating with Ajzen at the University of Illinois, the pair introduced subjective norms toincorporate how social dynamics affect intentionality, which culminating in the Theory ofReasoned Action (TRA) in 1980 [22]. The TRA’s usage spurred further studies into beliefs,norms, and behavioral expectations [23], [24]. In the mid-1980s, Ajzen extended the TRA’sapplicability with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) [25], [26], [27], incorporatingperceived outcome control and other behavioral models [28], [29], [30].

thatcustomized learning, targeting specific systems engineering skillsets, can be achieved by eachsystems engineering student based upon offering an open and customizable course curriculum.Students can use their competency-based learning plans and social-media-recognizable badges tosignify their unique systems engineering competencies and learning outcomes achieved eitherthrough a four-course Graduate Certificate or a ten-course Master of Engineering programoffered by UConn. The competency definitions by graduate course can be used by graduatestudents to create a longer-term systems engineering professional development plan that supportslife-long learning.Keywords: competency-based learning, competency-based education, graduate education,workforce

, Virginia’stop institution enrolling Hispanic undergraduates is George Mason University with ~15%Hispanic students. Through a convenient textual analysis sampling, the researchers sought to interpret theseinstitutions’ easily accessible public records to give voice and meaning to how theirorganizational identities and research objectives reflect Virginia’s community memories (Bowen,2009). Public records refer to the official, ongoing records of an organization’s activities.Utilizing O’Leary’s planning process, the researchers first analyze documents that denote theinstitutional (macro-), organizational (meso-), and individual (micro-) levels of each institution.At the institutional level, the mission statement and vision of the university were

We allocated a work-study student to devote five to ten hours per week to planning, coordinating, hosting hybrid club meetings and events (both in-person and online) and increasing students’ access and engagement. 3. Form a Department Community Center with both in-person and virtual spaces: We established a pilot Department Community Center for students to get together, interact with and support each other. The Center was previously a research-only lab and is currently located in Room C03A. We extended its function to host the ExCITE program, the ACM club, and the ACM-W club.

As participants were matched into mentoring pairs, there wasplanned to be a brief training session focused on how to connect with each other and to promotea worthwhile professional relationship. In addition to the one-on-one mentoring meet-ups, theprogram was planned to include GAIN-wide events, with VIP faculty or industry guests. At theseevents, all mentors and all mentees would be encouraged to network together and to work insmall teams to perform structured hands-on design and problem-solving activities
, because such teaching brought them into closer proximity with students andsuch experiences brought out students’ passion [19]. We argue that the 2020 pandemic, whichbrought about an abrupt shift to teaching online, provided a fair test of faculty beliefs andrevealed a great deal about their values related to student learning. With little time to plan,faculty might have “relapsed” into well-known ways of teaching, suggesting the change wasincomplete or superficial.In this paper, we present evidence of successful and sustained faculty change during thistransitional period based on our previous work. We were particularly interested in investigatingwhether shifts in faculty instructional practices were sustained during the COVID-19 pandemic.This

This was evident in the first summer of the grant, and isdocumented in an early focus group report: Faculty had the sense there was a plan developed by the RED team to move forward, and that faculty who were not PIs or co-PIs did not have access to the details of that plan. Some co-PIs of the RED grant clarified during the focus groups that the plan is emergent, and that the goals were to develop a plan together. *Some faculty perceived an assumption by the external consultant that the department was in need of a drastic change in culture/climate. *Some faculty perceived a lack

Thesestrategies help ensure that that each student feels their opinion is heard and respected. 1. Provide literature regarding the case as a reading assignment several days ahead of any in-class activity. This allows students an opportunity to read the case over at their own pace, take notes, and collect their own personal thoughts. It also allows more time during the formal lecture session for discussion or collaboration with their peers. 2. Many engineering students may not belong to a racial minority; they may feel they do not possess any relevant knowledge to contribute. It

engineering design process on it from technical design, mockups, testing, 2 refinement to improvement. Students develop mockup designs based on an engineering problem. Students design an experimental plan for the engineering design problem (e.g., building a floating assembly with a portable charger). Then they conducted experiments, collect and analyze data that is compared to the theoretical design. Thereafter they make conclusions and observations on the outcomes based on engineering and math concepts (e.g., Buoyancy and stability). They finally use conclusions to draw improvements to the components, system, and processes
