Scholars)According to an ACT study, student retention can be improved by integrating both academic andnon-academic factors, such as academic self-confidence, achievement, motivation, institutionalcommitment, and social support.39 In many instances and despite poor academic performance,students persist because they feel like they fit within the institution and that they are sociallyintegrated.40 Studies suggest that programs that explicitly include mentoring and support groupsimprove student involvement, motivation, and academic self-confidence and, in turn, increaseinstitutional commitment and engagement.41, 42 Inclusive, welcoming institutional environmentsand the connections students feel have been linked to persistence.43-45 Other research

Integrating their knowledge built within thecourse, students are asked to write about a concept, model, topic, or issue pertaining todeterministic and stochastic inventory modeling.Creative Writing Assignments. The first poem-writing assignment required students to create an“I am” poem about themselves. This assignment allowed students to experiment and gain someexperience with the specific poetic form on a topic that is personal and well known to them. Thisassignment is due in the second week of the course to encourage creative thinking early on. Thesecond poem-writing assignment required students to create an

This interaction allowed students tofurther develop their project management and communication skills. This paper will describe theresults of the project, assess the methodologies used to educate the students and review theimpacts of this approach on incorporating novel content into an engineering curriculum.IntroductionHow can students be taught new ideas in emerging technologies in a timely manner?

This study,known as the Engineering Writing Initiative (EWI) seeks answers to the following questions: • How do the writing skills of engineering students develop during the course of their studies? • What are these students’ attitudes, practices and skills with regard to writing, and how do those attitudes, practices and skills develop over time? • Does writing in engineering courses help students become more involved with those courses and understand and apply the ideas of those courses? • Do improved writing skills help students become stronger engineers? • How can we incorporate we learn about students’ attitudes, practices and skills in order to improve our instructional

Three times the team made presentations to this class of approximately sixty (60)students. The middle school students were engaged by the team and the project, and evenparticipated in some of the design decisions. Our sense was that this activity showed engineeringin a very positive light to the middle school students and most probably opened many of them upto this as a career opportunity. Furthermore the eclectic nature of the project provided a unifyingtheme woven through the fabric of an apparently unrelated middle-school curriculum. Theeighth graders were provided with a panoramic educational vista. This observation was

For example, the first author has added scaled-back elements of guided IBL toa preceding laboratory course to help the students to get comfortable with the process used in thecourse in this study: students identified the parameters controlled for a series of trials and thedata that needed to be collected to answer an authentic question, but the instructor provided thetesting procedure.We also found it helpful to design a class session during which students develop their methods,so that they have time to think through the authentic problem with their teams, but also for wholeclass discussions to ensure that everyone is

Built around the programmingenvironment of LabVIEW this material is intended to provide flexibility in the mode ofpresentation. Specifically, more active hands-on experience will be possible as well as agreater use of visual input. Most engineering students do not gain substantial hands-onexperience in thermodynamics classes, due to time and equipment constraints. It is anticipatedthat use of the virtual instrument capabilities of LabVIEW will give students a closerapproximation of real world experience through simulation.Learning and Teaching StylesBefore presenting a description of the educational software it is

At Regents College, the most important and challenging aspect of being a virtualinstitution is assuring quality through measuring outcomes, i.e., assessment. In addition torecognition of academic validations by other institutions, assessment takes place in two formats:individualized (special and portfolio assessment); and specialized (written proficiency andperformance examinations). The attention to assessment and academic outcome measurement isat the heart of the curriculum both in general education and in specific programs. The tools ofassessment and benchmark processes are in constant review to maintain the integrity of theassessment process. The overall quality assurance framework
