The first weekend of the program isspent at an outdoor retreat center in the Adirondack Mountains, where students participate inactivities designed to build trust and multicultural awareness, and cause them to reflect on the Page 11.266.5leadership and collaborative skills needed to conduct research as part of a research team. Later inthe program, participants are taken on three field trips to view efforts at environmentalsustainability in the field, for example large scale

There alsoseems to be only modest correlation between the graduation quality point average (QPA) and theresults of this assessment. Increasing the value of “n” being assessed is an appropriate next stepin this multi-year evaluation. We will interview another cohort of students this spring. While quantifiable trends are difficult to assess with the current density of data, theassessment process has aided the investigators in refining the list of input variables related tocognitive learning (Table 4).

While student outcomes weregenerally achieved, student dissatisfaction with the course structure was high. In the 2016- 2017academic year, several substantial changes were made to the sophomore and junior lab courses inresponse to this data. Curricular changes included an increased emphasis on pseudo-codedevelopment, routine reflection on assumptions and limitations of models used in lab meetings,and a move of the lectures and discussions to after the in-depth lab assignments. In addition,short modules on data analysis, elementary statistics, and linear algebra were

2008, Henderson et al [4] developed the four categories of change strategiesmodel to classify strategies that have been used to conceptualize or to create change inundergraduate STEM education. The similarity of these categories to those developed through anindependent review of an overlapping literature base [5] suggests that the four categories arerobust and meaningful. Following are the four categories: ● Disseminating Curriculum and Pedagogy: This category is based on the phenomena of tell/teach individuals about new teaching conceptions and/or practices and encourage their use. ● Developing Reflective Teachers: Encourage/Support individuals to develop new teaching conceptions and/or practices ● Enacting Policy: Enact new

The LLP process forces the participants to formalize aseries of hypotheses [7] that are tested and refined based on feedback provided by possiblestakeholders and customers. Students test their ideas and modify their designs to reflect theirnewly gained knowledge. In this regard failure is an option. Failure of the student’s hypothesishappens on a routine basis and requires the student to go back to the drawing board, figurativelyand literally. These ‘failures’ are used as learning opportunities where the student’s

In graduate laboratories, because there seemed to often beless structure in terms of presentation requirements, graduate students reported having freedomthat enabled the AE style. According to the surveys, advisors were receptive of the AE stylebecause they felt that it “told a good story” and was “easy to follow.” Being unique, the AE stylesatisfied one advisor’s quest for a way to make presentations more exciting.

progress through theSTEM pipeline also depends on the types of opportunities, experiences, and support studentsreceive while in college (Chang, Eagan, Lin, & Hurtado, 2011; Espinosa, 2011). “Theeducational experience and the culture of the discipline (as reflected in the attitudes and practicesof faculty) make a much greater contribution to [STEM] attrition than the individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors” (Chang, Sharkness, Hurtado, & Newman,2014).

Another aspect of scaffolding was that measurements in early experiments could be recordedwithout an overall plan for the order in which they should occur.
