documents that successful course completion is lower in online courses than intraditional face-to-face courses [21]. Both course completion rates and withdrawals are worse inSTEM courses [22], particularly in lower level STEM courses [23]. A lack of engagement andlower successful completion rates have been shown in online physics courses [24] as reported byMurphy and Stewart. Murphy and Stewart used eight years of data with 3,032 students tocompare face-to-face lecture courses with three semesters of a hybrid course with online lecturesand face-to-face laboratories. They found that there was a 11% lower successful completion rate(A/B/C) for students in the hybrid course compared to the solely face-to-face course. Thesefindings in STEM courses are

Such alliances offered an excellent opportunity for minoritized students to getearly exposure to the knowledge content, language, vocabulary, and philosophy of the discipline,as well as become engaged in research laboratory meetings to acquire skills, protocols, andpractices designed to move a beginning graduate student to an engaged researcher and scholar(Barker, 2011; Felder et al., 2014; Twale et al., 2016).Table 1Theoretical Support of the RDI WorkshopsWorkshop Content

One of the challenges includes engaging in a newacademic environment [2] and the academic challenges that come alongside that. Thesechallenges can be discipline-specific and are often unaddressed by the larger school-wide supportsystems. For example, understanding where to get tutoring support for specific technical classesor the differences between laboratory and lecture-based courses. Discipline-specific academicadvisors do offer this support to students, but many international students aren’t sure whatsupport they should be seeking in terms of academic items. Additionally, items such asmismatched writing strategies from a home country to the

laboratory studies, people expressmore empathy for one victim of a tragedy than they do for eight, ten, or hundreds.” (p. 9). Thus,the sheer scale of traditional engineering work with sometimes rare interactions with theindividuals most impacted may make empathy (and perhaps by extension kindness) moredifficult among engineering in comparison to professions like medicine (e.g., doctors meetingwith single patients). Thus, the notion of ‘care’ may be more applicable to the engineeringprofession in the context of this broader impact of our work, while kindness is more relevant inengineering education as we interact with individual students.The hidden curriculum through engineering courses that do not seem to embody kindness orcaring might convey to

In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements. Laboratory experiences and project-based coursesemphasize the development of technical communication

For this project, 10% ofteams build the full-scale model in the machine shop and 90% of the teams 3D printed theirsmall-scale model in engineering laboratory. Figure 3 shows examples of prototypes built bystudents. At the last week of classes, teams presented their project work to the client and a groupof local high school students. In addition, each team prepared a written report outlining projectgoals, background research, sketches of three possible design ideas, their chosen design,SolidWorks drawings, and bill of materials. Written reports are also shared with the client. Figure 3: Examples of little free library prototypes are shown in the

Furthermore, overall freshman enrollment at the university was lowerthan expected based on previous years.As a result, there was not a uniform distribution of majors for the students in the precalculuscourses (control) and the corequisite courses (treatment) (Table 2). In particular, the precalculusclasses had higher enrollment of undecided (historically at NU, these students do not perform aswell) and non-matriculated students (early college students that historically perform well). Inaddition, some non-STEM majors were enrolled in the courses. The undecided, non-matriculated, and non-STEM students were removed from

It has been used in several past experiments related to intrinsic motivation and self- 4 regulation [41-43]. The instrument assesses participants’ relatedness (Q1 — Q8), perceived 5 competence (Q9 — Q11), and interest or enjoyment (Q12) while performing a given activity, 6 thus yielding three subscale scores. The relatedness subscale covers interpersonal interactions as 7 well as friendship formation. Figure 4 shows the procedure for calculating a relatedness score 8 for each lab mode. Figure 4.
