Because I'm thinking, what makes me feel good is solving a problem but that's not necessarily what makes you feel good right now.Outside of conflicting mindsets, many students saw a lack of utility or opportunity for empathyin their work. From their perspectives, their work had little to do with other people (e.g., end-users) and therefore empathy did not come into play. From Julie’s work at a water treatmentplant to Mike’s time in the fabrication laboratory to Donovan’s experiments with fish oil andwater emulsions, students did not see how empathy for others
STEMinstruction, theories and instruments are not particularly well-developed to support claims aboutthe types of instruction (traditional, group active and individual active) we studied and howrepresentative they are of engineering instruction nationally. Similarly, the sample is not largeenough to understand the effects of varying instructor rank/experience level and other coursecharacteristics including laboratory and recitation sections. Nonetheless, we reported results forthree different courses and explored alternative explanations which lay the foundation for futurework. The StRIP Survey is still in iterative development to refine factors to describe instructorstrategies, student participation and other outcomes. Here, we analyzed and

The course satisfies a general education laboratory courserequirement for non-STEM majors. All of these students are majoring in a discipline that is not afield of science, engineering, technology, or mathematics. There were 59 students from IowaState University. These non

Inaddition, graduate students involved in the project are expected to monitor each student’sperformance and progress in the laboratory setting. Ideally, concerns are addressed early, and thestudent is mentored to overcome weaknesses or deficiencies in regards to research. The facultymentor is expected to provide constructive criticism to the students to help them gain the mostfrom the summer program.Assessment:The program was assessed in a number of ways.

One of the most effective means ofimproving retention is to provide authentic STEM experiences involving “…hypothesis-driven, hands-on experimentation in which the outcome is unknown, peer-to-peer support, faculty-student interactions, and academic support…. Classroom-based strategies that engage students in authentic STEM experiences are in line with evidence-based instructional strategies that require moving away from lectures and recipe-based laboratory exercises toward more open-ended and student-driven STEM experiences….

The language course providedinstruction primarily in the context of writing lab reports as the main communication-relateddeliverable of the program. Over two terms, students perform 10 laboratory experiments inAPSC 182 and must write lab reports for each one.
