PSVT:R at Michigan Tech include engineering students transferringfrom other colleges and universities, current students who are changing their major to anengineering major, and first-time freshmen. Because transfer students and already enrolledstudents who are changing their major may have more experience using computers, utilizing anLMS, and taking tests on computers, their scores were analyzed separately from first timefreshmen students.ResultsAverage scores of first time freshmen taking the PSVT:R through the two different test methodsare compared in Table 1 below. In the fall of 2013, all freshmen students were administered thetest with the paper-pencil method, so scores from that group are compared as well. As shown in

Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program is seen as vehicle for introducing Page 26.350.2engineering into secondary school curriculum to enhance science and mathematics instruction aswell as a strategy that prepares teachers for improving interest and achievement of students in theSTEM subjects 1. A RET program was implemented at our university to provide an authenticresearch experience for high school science and technology/engineering teachers, as part of aresearch team, within a University research center, and in collaboration with a K-12 Centerwithin the University. The professional development program was designed to provide the

a sensor based around a color camera, an infrareddepth sensor, and a multi-mic array. It allows controlling computing devices via motion andvoice instead of mouse and keyboard or joystick, making the interaction much more natural. The goal of the original project was to be able to control all of the limbs of the robot viamotion instead of having to use more complicated control systems. In short, instead of havingto manipulate a controller of some sort one could simply move an arm into the position onewould like the NAO robot to move its arm, capture this with Kinect, and the software wouldhandle moving the NAO into the correct position, see Figure 1. The goals of the demonstration to the freshmen class were: (1) to make students aware

Preparation for Fall 2014Fall 2014 was the first trial run with the teamwork skit, causing much more thought and planningto go into this process. Multiple meetings were held across several weeks and included four veryimportant steps that were critical to the success of the skit: building, brainstorming, planning,and testing. Throughout this entire process, the faculty member was involved, critiquing andchanging aspects of each step to make this skit a success. Each step of the process is described ingreater detail below.Step 1: BuildingIn order for a team to be successful, there must first be a group of people ready to work toward acommon goal; this skit was no different.

A five pointscale including the anchors Unsatisfactory (1), Bare Minimum (2), Moderate (3), Strong (4), andOutstanding (5). The output appears in each team member’s dashboard once all team membershave completed their feedback ratings. The output for each individual contains the median of hisor her peer ratings for each dimension (see Appendix A). This output can then be used in class asa framework to support individual or team debriefs, action steps, and development planning.The second peer feedback tool involves distributing 10*(k-1) points across other team membersfor each CATME

According to Tuckman new groupsgo through four phases: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing.1 Duringthe Forming stage group members try to size up each other, find the limits of acceptable groupbehavior, and clarify the group task.2 In the Storming stage there may be disagreement amongteam members as each slowly comes to terms with solving problems in a new environment, i.e.,the new team. Things get better in the Norming phase. Ground rules and team member roles areagreed upon. Members begin to see how they can work together to accomplish the group task.The final phase is Performing. The team is now “firing on all cylinders” and significant work

Reflection-on-action isthe only definition being employed in this case, as these students reflect on actions after theyhave already happened, ex post facto, in order to affect how they might act in the future. Kolb describes the process of learning from experience as a cycle (Figure 1), and citesreflection as the part of the learning process by which concrete experience is used to generate,validate, or otherwise affect conceptual frameworks or knowledge systems2.

In other terms, employers are looking for employees thathave well-developed 21st Century Skills. While not always pictured this way, engineering is avery creative profession that uses 21st Century Skills on a daily basis. It is important thatengineers be able to design a solution that is effective yet still meets constraints such as time,cost, manufacturability, size, etc.[2

Another ideathat has been coming to the forefront in the engineering education committee is that ofMakerspaces, which is directed towards bringing the Do It Yourself (DIY) culture into theclassrooms to aid teaching and learning 2. However, currently there lies a gap between this ideaof classroom Makerspaces and their implementation in learning environments. This paper is anattempt at filling this gap, by proposing how an interest-based framework would not only aid theimplementation of classroom Makerspaces, but also serve as a means for

Furthermore, there is a lack ofprogram outcomes assessments for Project Infinity, while reports on PLTW have shown existingissues. For instance, a curriculum content analysis concluded that the PLTW curriculumaddressed fewer content standards and showed far fewer points of integration of mathematicalknowledge than would be expected 3. Further, other published empirical studies showed mixedresults from state achievement test scores 4. In addition, neither of these two programs arealigned with the current standards.
