choice questions, wereavoided. The main intention was to entice engineering students to analytically solve engineeringproblems from scratch in a regular, classic way, i.e. by typically partitioning the problem intophases or threads and solving each phase sequentially until reaching the final answer(s). Anadditional motivation for this objective was the desire to offer engineering students the chance togain partial credits if they manage to solve parts of the problem. In Blackboard, one questiontype that appears to suit this multi-thread partitioning is called “Fill in Multiple Blanks” questiontype. However, unlike the “Calculated Numeric” type of questions (also available onBlackboard), the Fill in Multiple Blanks type of questions does not

institutionincreased the depth of CH102’s inquiry-based learning approach with the introduction of a waterquality laboratory sequence. We used five key elements to develop the laboratory curriculum.First, we determined that the laboratory curriculum must satisfy the course goals, which broadlyincluded learning safe laboratory practices, developing data analysis skills, and developinglaboratory techniques required for more advanced STEM courses (American Chemical SocietyCommittee on Professional Training, 2015). Second, we determined that laboratory work shouldprimarily be a hands-on experience in which students are provided the opportunity to carry outexperiments themselves (Larsen, et al. 2013; Obenland, et al., 2014). Third, we determined theintroductory

Feedback to astudent in an educational software program can have significant and sometimes unintendedconsequences that impact learning effectiveness and persistence.

Ultimately, the course creation proposal was signed by the chair of eachdepartment before moving forward through normal undergraduate curriculum approval channels.Course creation took approximately 1.5 years to marshal through university processes and takeeffect. During the life of the S-STEM project, three cohorts of undergraduates engaged inmultidisciplinary senior design projects: 2015-2016; 2016-2017; 2017-2018. Only the finalcohort (2017-2018) was able to enroll in GEEN 4301/4302. In 2016-2017, students enrolled inselected topics courses as a stop-gap while the course creation process was underway, and theselected topics courses were substituted for the relevant senior design courses
valence or affect [8]. The commonality ofaffective assessments underscores the importance of emotion in the learning process, especiallyin the context of game-based learning where play is an element of motivation. They write thatthe body of research on game-based learning in engineering, “nearly unanimously agree[s] thatstudents enjoy game-based learning” but there is a significant lack of studies demonstrating theimpact on learning outcomes. This is either due to a lack of validated measures (e.g. student self-assessment on individually developed surveys or questionnaires) or small sample sizes and/ormissing statistical analysis [8].While games may inspire thoughts of play, the two are overlapping but distinct topics in thecontext of education

postsymposium surveys, and workshop evaluations. This paper discusses the outcomes of the firstyear of the three-year funded PFMF program, including survey results and lessons learned.Background and Structure of the PFMF ProgramPoor enrollment of African Americans and other underrepresented minorities in STEMdisciplines is a critical, established problem. Though estimates demand great increases in collegecompletion in STEM areas to drive the U. S. economy, less than a quarter of minorities havecollege degrees [1]. This makes minorities a critical focal point as the nation works to addressgaps in STEM degree production. Science leaders agree overwhelmingly that increased diversityin the sciences is critical [2]. Increased diversity in STEM thought
research is needed to investigatehow teams will continue to experience the characteristics of a guiding coalition as they shift andchange throughout their change process. These findings are limited to data collected from theRED team members; it is beyond the scope of this project to collect data from individualsexternal to the team, though that would increase the validity of the findings. Next steps for thisresearch include disaggregating our analysis to investigate how contextual differences acrossteams impact the team formation processes—while some of these differences emerged in ourinitial analysis, further investigation is warranted.References[1] J.
