Once they reach a conclusion, the students are presented witha second scenario and repeat the process: predict-discuss-observe-explain. The instructor andteaching assistants move throughout the classroom during the cycle and gauge the classes’ levelof comprehension. Subsequent class discussions led by the instructor depend on how well the classunderstands the concepts. The process is repeated for a total of four scenarios. Applying thisactivity plan to the Spool IBLA, we ask questions such as, “If you pull lightly on the string wrappedaround the inner diameter of a spool, in which direction do you think the spool will

.​ Prior to the Spring of 2023 UTA meetings focused on relationship building betweenUTAs and course instructors and supporting UTAs in their duties of teaching and grading.Meeting activities consistently included a check-in about the previous colloquium’s discussionsections and discussion of what is expected of UTAs in order to implement the weekly discussionsection scripts (or lesson plans) and completing their grading duties. Debriefs of the previousclass were typically open-ended (i.e. “What happened on Monday? How’d it go?”). Reviewingthe upcoming discussion script involved enacting the stoke (an opening game or activity that isdesigned to provoke skills, mindsets, or behaviors that are supportive of the discussion learningobjectives) and

One overarching learning goal emphasized in this interventional study isthat students develop proficiency in using collaborative approaches to understand engineeringconcepts. Their engagement in peer learning strategies prepare them for professional settings thatrequire communication and leadership skills. As most online course environments are siloed innature, students engaged in the collaborative learning had to employ listening and teamworkskills to carefully address the peer led activities.

relates to student self-assessment of theirperceived mastery of a given subject. General confidence can factor into a student’s self-efficacy. However, other significant variables include planning [2], time management [3], andinformation processing [3], among others. This suggests a covariation between general traitsascribed to high-achieving students and their GPAs, which aligns with the general thinking thatgood students will have good study habits. Students seem cognizant of this as their GPA appearsto have a significant correlation to their perception of their higher-order cognitive skillimprovement [4]. While connections have been made between student self-efficacy and theirGPAs [5] [6], there appears to be a relative dearth of literature

In future offerings of the course, we plan to complete this initial 4test run before any study of fuel economy, so that we truly see the effect of a betterunderstanding. Next, students drove the flat course attempting to maintain the constant speed that theyhad calculated would yield maximum fuel economy.

To date, 66 EIF from 32 HSIs across the USA have completedthe ICVF reflection activity. It evolved from a broad exploration of leadership in the 2022 cohortto a more targeted, project-focused approach to leadership in the 2023 and 2024 offerings. Theinitial 2022 Institute explored three leadership frameworks centered around beliefs [39], [40],identity [40], and styles [4]. In practice, time constraints and participant feedback led to theomission of several planned activities associated with the leadership frameworks, shifting from amultifaceted approach to focusing solely on
