Conclusion The UMD STS robotics service-learning program is an important part of the onand off-campus UMD STEM education community. Since 2011, the program, has offeredrobotics education programming for K-12 public schools and community centers. Overtime, the program has gone through four overlapping phases. Through each phase,program administrators identified several tensions related to the recruitment of UMDstudents and K-12 service sites, curriculum and materials

class families are more accustomed tostraightforward orders from authority figures than to the indirect communication strategies(Delpit, 1995; Melnick & Meister, 2008). Whenever instructors choose to use these indirectcommunication strategies, they need to provide students with explicit lessons on how nondirective verbal interventions are actually “code” for direct commands.Instructors interviewed in this study mentioned that email communications to some middle-eastern students sometimes seemed less effective, these students preferred face to facecommunication. So, taking few minutes in the class explaining what they need to do for anassignment or project produced better result.Effective instructors of culturally diverse students

Survey items were developed to reflect the common reasons forstudent departure as outlined in the published text Talking About Leaving and the experiences ofsenior leaders on the project from STEM fields and at HBCUs [4]. To ensure the survey focusedon the intended areas and that the researchers engaged in a comprehensive approach, each surveyitem was aligned with a research thrust area and compared with the theoretical framework. Toaccount for differences in demographic information needed, two parallel surveys were createdfor each group (Group 1 and 2).Data Collection Data were collected from students (Group 1

The learning objective for the assignment is for each student toinvestigate and explain one real-world application of a concept in the course. To demonstrate thatthey have achieved this objective, each student writes a one-page, double-spaced, summarydescribing how their real-world application applies to a course topic. Then, to leverage the diverseexperiences of students in the course, each student is asked to share their application witheveryone in a short TED-style talk on the last day of class.

Other research at the graduate level has hinted atthe role that non-technical competencies have in the ability to complete, such as academicengineering writing 22. However, the psychological decision-making processes by which studentsdecide to leave their programs is still unknown and represents an enormous gap in the scholarship.Furthermore, it is important to employ creative sampling methods in order to study students whoare actually considering leaving or who have left their programs, but this has proven to be quitedifficult.The explicit objective of a broader project this paper represents is to capture and analyze thenarratives of engineering graduate student

following week). The new sequence,entitled Introduction to Engineering Mathematics I and II (replacing Calculus I and II) andApplied Multivariate Calculus (replacing Calculus III), consists of 4-credit courses that met for 3days per week in standard format, along with a double period meeting 1 day per week. Thisscheduling preserved the 5 contact hours of the standard sequence. However, due to the doubleperiod day being used for laboratory activities 4 times per quarter and projects/recitation 6 timesper quarter, that day only counted as 1 credit hour toward the total.The laboratory activities discussed in this paper were developed to enhance the Calculus Ivariant. The labs were developed by one group of faculty and tested by another group during

Students were made explicitly aware ofhow each concept from their courses fits into the bigger picture through an end of semesterproject that revolved around a specific aspect of the steam engine. This concept is difficult toapply to Electrical Engineering because of the wide variety of specializations offered within themajor. While connections between areas are plentiful, creating a singular project that faculty ofall specializations will deem sufficiently applicable would be nigh impossible.Alnajjar proposes “Integrative Learning
