the matter is theEarth’s capacity to sustain a burgeoning global population which makes increasing demands onlimited resources [5]. Projections of resource exhaustion continually change based onimprovements in technology and consumer behavior. In 2017, global resource consumptionovershot the sustainable rate of use of a year’s worth of the Earth’s resources by early August.This day, observed as Earth Overshoot Day, occurs earlier each year [6]. At the present rate, thehuman population will consume two years’ worth of the Earth’s resources that can be sustainablyreplenished each year by 2034. Thus, ensuring a healthy environment in the future requiresembracing environmental sustainability. We define environmental sustainability as the ability

. The expectation based on multipleother works was that institutions with an honor code would have the best handle on academicintegrity issues [2],[3]. The results were that Benedictine College and East Carolina University’sresults were most like previous studies of colleges that have honor codes in place, while TheCatholic University of America (the institution without a formal honor code) was most similar toprevious studies of colleges without honor codes in place [4]. A 1994 study by Grahamconcluded there were no statistically significant differences between religious institutions orcommunity college students’ attitude toward cheating and perceived amount of cheating [5].

, theteacher transitions to think about how to design for those characteristics. As part of the researchstudy, teachers were provided kits for soft robotic fabrication, which can be arranged in a varietyof configurations with different motion [19, 20]. However, based on the materials available,some of the design ideas may not be feasible. Subsequently, the teacher leads a discussion aboutmaterials and processes, balancing between creativity and feasibility. Following a demonstrationof how to safely work with silicone rubber and the mold kits, students work in pairs on thedesign project. They are encouraged to learn through two main channels: 1) via research on theinternet (sites such as www.softroboticstoolkit.com) and 2) via hands-on prototyping

This reinforcement seems tohave made the cartoons more meaningful.Future WorkSeveral ideas have been suggested on how to use these cartoons or measure their effectiveness.Some of the most interesting involve getting the students involved in their creation andencouraging them to be creative. A student “suggestion box” discussion board on the LMSmight be useful, so students can submit cartoon ideas or request the instructor draw particularconcepts. Having the students draw their own cartoons as part of a project or for extra credit isan interesting proposal. Even

Mary earned D or “no pass”in her STEM courses, while Geoffrey passed or earned an A or B in the same courses.Mary: In her written assignments in the study skills course, Mary expressed an internal locus ofcontrol for her learning, yet she did not exercise self-regulation. Thus, though she did notalways follow through with her goals, she was aware that any shortcomings were her owndoing. For example, Mary made lists of the coursework and did projects on the importance ofmotivation and time management but struggled with following through. Lack of motivation,distractions, and ineffective prioritization of her responsibilities were

Thispaper presents on four years of a multistage research project funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory researchdesign, which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successfultransfer from community college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’innovative capability influences such transfer capacity.

In the course of the beta focus group and upon reflection, we decided to make thefollowing changes to our procedure for the official focus group: 1. Because the experts often ranked questions as being between two levels of difficulty, e.g. between a “2” and a “3,” we determined that a scale of 1 - 10 would be more useful for

project products yielded similar findings: students who spent more effort onproblem scoping (i.e., gathering and synthesizing information to better understand a problem ordesign idea) tended to score higher in terms of client satisfaction [14]. These findings suggestboth the importance of problem scoping and the need for some focus on problem scoping inundergraduate education.While problem scoping is often associated with the beginning of a design process, problemscoping can occur throughout the design process. Several researchers have described design as aprocess where designer’s problem space (i.e., set of ideas about and understanding of theproblem) and solution space (i.e., the set of possible solutions and details about the possiblesolutions

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on.

That was exactlymy reaction for some academic team projects where I knew the people I was assigned to andcould identify based on past experiences that we were not the strongest combination of students.This paper is also interesting to me because the tool already exists. CATME (similarly tomakerspaces) is currently being implemented in the engineering curriculum but as the abstractnotes, little is known about how these tools are applied and how students and instructorsperceive their use…[Paper 3] This paper was interesting to me because of makerspaces, informal engineeringactivity, potential for
