Students were thenallowed to enter the escape room before the 55-minute timer began counting down (Figure 1).The puzzles were organized into multiple concurrent pathways to provide students with theoptions for exploration, collaboration, and to prevent potential bottlenecks at more challengingpuzzles. Successful completion of each of four pathways will provide students with one of fourdigits to a bottle labeled as “The Cure”. Successful escape occurs when all four numbers areentered in the right sequence before the timer runs out.Figure 1: (Left) Two students attempting to solve a

A hands-on activity wouldrequire additional planning, resources, class time, and clean-up but may be worth the effort,especially in the context of a first-year engineering course that does emphasize hands-onactivities and prototyping. Therefore, this is a step that will be considered in the future.Although the survey results suggest that the video and activities had value, the actual effect onteamwork was not formally measured. Measuring the effect conclusively may be challengingdue to the many factors that affect how a team functions (the members of the team, the classroomenvironment created by the instructors and teaching assistants, the

andpublishing patterns.Journal articles and conference proceedings were originally planned as the formats to beexamined but as the research proceeded it was determined that a) there was sufficient material toexamine the patterns focusing only on the journals and b) that publishing in conference venueswas potentially different enough to warrant a separate study. Finally, as neither of the authorswas fluent enough in other languages to warrant including them, only articles published entirelyin English were included, i.e. an English abstract alone was insufficient for a study to beincluded. This filter was applied inconsistently by the database vendors so some of the originalnumbers include papers that were written in a language other than English but

For international graduate students who have lived in the U.S. for less than one year,the preference for using gender pronouns is greatly different from their peers who have been inthe U.S. longer, suggesting that new international graduate students could benefit from additionalguidance about gender pronouns to assist them in adjusting to the college environment.

In courses such as physiology, such assessmentsare professionally authentic for pre-health or pre-professional students planning to take theMCAT and/or licensure exams. In large format courses, grading time can be reduced by usingelectronic platforms to automate test administration and scoring. For students, these assessmentsoften induce test anxiety that negatively impacts their learning [6].Collaborative testing

” regards interdisciplinary knowledge as one of the core education elementswhen cultivating STEM graduates. Thus, interdisciplinarity has become an increasinglyimportant feature of engineering education over recent decades, and work has begun toextend these efforts from undergraduate to graduate education [5]. Despite multiple interdisciplinary teaching modes being designed to meet this need,critics view interdisciplinary teaching innovation at this stage as lacking novelty, scholarlydepth, methodological rigor, and integrated planning [6]. It has been recommended that thevalue of interdisciplinarity cannot be explained without attention to the subjects valuing itand the inner changes they undergo [7]. However, previous studies of

Ashift towards a more holistic approach to admissions can help to create a more equitable andaccessible graduate school application process, but engineering program leaders must considerhow such a shift will affect other aspects of the admissions process, such as the resourcesrequired.
