STEP Fellows participate in summer training workshops where they learnabout inquiry-based learning pedagogy, classroom management, effective teaching skills, andappropriate uses of educational technologies. Fellows also work with K-12 personnel to developa needs assessment and action plan for the school. During the school year, Fellows work in teams(typically two of our students) with their partner school, engaging in activities such as (a)instructing students, (b) assisting with teacher professional development, (c) providing studentenrichment and mentoring, (d) creating and implementing classroom websites, (e) assisting

In the workforce,such knowledge gaps may occur, and one such instance is the hydraulics knowledge needed bythe environmental health specialists working for the state Department of Public Health (DPH) toexamine swimming pool plans prior to approval. An agreement was reached between a publicuniversity and the DPH to meet this need for engineering education. This work focused ontraining to help in developing a non-engineering workforce to understand fundamentalengineering concepts related to hydraulics.

While assessment is oftennot viewed as a favorite item on the “to do” list of any faculty member or administrator, we havefound enormous value in the continued attention we place on our annual assessment efforts. Wehope that by sharing the evolution of our curricular efforts, others will find useful ideas andstrategies that could be adapted to an existing assessment plan; or, that could be used to helpbuild the foundation for a new one. The overarching goal of this paper is to share successfultechniques that we’ve used to assess student learning. We hope these techniques will be usefulfor others as

. Even with the support of an instructional team, this process can be time-consuming and increase workload. We employed Charlie, a neural network-enabled grader, toprovide feedback on students’ writing assignments. Students only need to submit one draft,the minimum requirement for the assignment, although multiple submissions are allowed toreceive feedback from Charlie. The results indicate that Charlie’s feedback is generallyeffective, but improvements are needed in accuracy and recognizing revisions. The findingsalso reveal that students integrated feedback well, particularly in refining their career goalsand action plan sections. This study suggests that the design of learning activities could berefined to encourage students to be more

Forexample, Lattuca and Stark [15] note how internal (e.g., to the institution) influences, such as theinstitutional mission, financial resources, the characteristics of students, and faculty governancestructures are important factors shaping curricular decision making.Indeed, decades of research has connected institutional missions to prescribed

Planning is a self-regulatory strategy involving a mentalsimulation of concrete actions in future situations. By simulating future events, individualswould be able to anticipate possible obstacles and make pre-planned, more realistic strategies.This active mental representation thus leads people to have greater accessibility to the plans andact as planned [21]. Therefore, by planning, students may devote more time to study and findmore effective ways to perform better in the course even if their motivation to go to college islow.MethodsThe engineering majors at Miami University have several required courses that they take in theirfirst
