Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hsu’s research interests include advanced quantitative design and analysis and their applications in STEM education, large-scale assessment data (e.g., PISA), and engineering students’ perception of faculty en- couragement and mentoring.Dr. Yanfen Li, University of Massachusetts Lowell Yanfen Li is an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Motivations behind selecting this target domainMany teachers who teach Statics are disappointed regarding the inability of their students inapplying the learned concepts in analyzing and designing the real world problems in succeedingcourses for which Statics is considered as a cornerstone (Condoor et al., 2008). Based on theauthor's experience in teaching the subject topic, students normally struggle learning Statics, asmost of the time their main focus is on memorizing the mathematical modules and equationsused for solving the problems, while they miss

Finally,the ADVANCE director also had additional funding to recognize the department that made themost progress on the gender equity goals, by hiring or developing programming to supportdiverse faculty, based on their plan.Fifth, Acker argues, given that gender is embedded within power/class structures, evenindividuals who support gender equity may not want to make the associated changes to theunderlying power/class structure.

Although makerspaces can vary greatly, Davee, et. aldefined them “fundamentally [as] places to design, explore, and create” (2015, p. 3).Making gained significant visibility due to President Obama’s support for the Maker Movement,culminating in the 2014 White House Maker Faire, a newly established National Week ofMaking, and the Nation of Makers Initiative. The Nation of Makers Initiative was a call tofederal agencies, companies, organizations, and schools to pledge

At the completion of their project, students graduated and therefore, no studentsremained to teach the incoming students about the project or best practices of the design process.This project is also different from a Design Competition project. In a design competition project,students’ main focus was on the completion of the product and less on the process of design [17],whereas in this project the focus of the students was to achieve a balance between process andproduct. For example, Poynter et al [17] described that the competition design project scope forthe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student competition was to

YouTube is a video sharing website that can provide free educational tutorials and instructions on technical subject matter, where students can observe practical human-machine interaction to prepare for lectures and increase overall course performance on exams, assignments, and laboratory projects. Our goal was to compare the overall performance as well as the level of active class participation between two groups of the same computer networking course. We found that the group that used YouTube videos for pre-lecture preparation, consisting of 83 students, scored approximately 3% higher on exams but 5

, a gap has been created between these branches of constructionto the point that their teaching approaches are different, thus forming a deficiency ofunderstanding between them and complex working environments in professional life.This study seeks to understand the cultural differences between civil engineering andarchitecture students, based on Hofstede's theory of cultural dimensions. Fivedimensions are evaluated: Individuality, Power distance, Uncertainty avoidance,Masculinity, and Long-term orientation. Data were collected from four groups: civilengineering students pre-pandemic and post-pandemic and architecture students’ pre-pandemic and post-pandemic to determine if the new teaching methods associated withthe COVID 2019 pandemic, may
yield both explicit ex-pectations (competencies identified by the participants), and implicit expectations that resultedfrom inductive qualitative analysis from the interviews. Other methods for yielding competencylists are more prescribed, such as those from document analysis, but yield more limited results.Additionally, there were prior works that have alluded to KSAs about postdoc career but have notbeen directly applied to postdoc recruitment. Davis’ work [38] outlined teaching skills, proposalwriting, and project management as skills associated with positive outcomes for postdocs experi-ences through an empirical approach. Nowell et al.
