creatingchange in the education system. In 2011, after reviewing the literature on change in highereducation, Henderson et al. proposed a change model for “Facilitating Change in UndergraduateSTEM”. This model identified four strategies that facilitate change in safety education: 1.“Disseminating curriculum and pedagogy”, 2. “Developing reflective teachers”, 3. “Enactingpolicy”, and 4. “Developing shared vision” [14].Following the 2017 ASEE Chemical Engineering Summer School, the authors of this paperformed a collaboration with the shared vision of investigating safety education in UOlaboratories across their respective institutions.

’ designalternatives and matrices. Studies show that student learning improves when they are exposed tothe ideas of others, when they respond to the questions and critique of peers, when they formmore substantial justifications for their views, and when they evaluate competing ideas throughargumentation [24, 25]. Following the gallery walk student teams are given time to reflect oncritical feedback and revise their own work. Effective reflection includes keeping a record ofchanges made and justification of those changes. During stage five, prototypes of the bestdesigns – as determined through matrix scoringand argumentation in the previous stages – arebuilt and tested (Fig. 3).

. Prior to arriving at Purdue Univer- sity, he earned a master’s degree in the department of mathematics at the University of Cincinnati in the USA. He is currently writing a dissertation on the pre-service teachers’ understanding of geometric re- flections in the USA. His dissertation explores pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ motion and mapping views and contributes to current research by offering insights into the development of an under- standing of geometric reflection. He is also working as a research assistant in Engineering Education. His work is focused on student learning and interest engineering design to teach engineering, science, and mathematics.Peter Wesley Odom, Purdue University, West

The overriding goals were to inform students about energy production andconsumption patterns, various technologies and their environmental consequences, and the prosand cons of renewable and nonrenewable energy systems.

Students were encouraged to consider real-life scenarios of their choice that couldbe further refined and potentially implemented upon return to their home countries. The structureof the small group sessions allowed students to be members of international teams, agree upon aproblem to tackle, conduct early research, and propose a concrete path towards addressing one ofthe SDGs. Semi-structured qualitative data collection was used for the project, to uncover trendsthat connect humanitarian engineering activities at international conferences to the GCs and theSDGs.

Preliminary analysis ofstudent feedback and faculty reflections indicates increased learner motivation, enhanced reviewof technical content and an upbeat atmosphere to the classroom. Faculty reflections also notedthat the use of games that allow learners to answer the questions individually helped facultyidentify those students who had successfully mastered the concepts, which allowed the instructorto structure peer-to-peer active learning opportunities during class more effectively. Future workincludes analyzing test scores, and other measures of long-term retention of concepts. Overall,use of these gamification tools was found to be a significant addition to

Overall, the major findings suggest that participatingin the program enhanced students’ 1) interest in engineering research, 2) interest in pursuinggraduate studies in engineering, and 3) feelings of belonging in engineering.

Besterfield-Sacre in 1997, incoming engineering students were surveyed ontheir perceptions of engineering as a field, their own abilities as engineers, and their confidencein their success [1]. The performance and retention of the students were then tracked for thefollowing three years and related back to their initial attitudes. Students who left engineering ingood academic standing had significantly different attitudes about themselves and engineeringcompared to students who stayed in engineering, or who left in poor academic standing.

. Unfortunately, manyaspects professionalism elude quantitative measurement—consider cooperation withmanagement or maintaining ethical standards. Consequently, objective measures can be quiterestricted in scope. In contrast, subjective ratings allow raters to consider a broad range ofreference points before making their assessment. This requires, however, a careful considerationto sources of rater error that contaminate subjective ratings. After considering both approaches,we determined subjective measures were most fitting and carefully considered the sources ofrater-error detailed below.Sources of Rater ErrorIf rater measurements were perfect, the scores provided by each rater would reflect only theratee’s degree of competence.

In later quantitativestudies of identity, these factors were combined into one performance/competence factor,thus reflecting student’s self-perception of performance as linked to their actualperformance. Recognition describes how parents, relatives, friends, and instructors seethe student in a given context. This framework was expanded by Hazari, Sonnert, Sadler,and Shanahan (2010) in their quantitative analysis of physics identity with the addition ofinterest to the framework.

Flooding attack methods are used in DDoS strikes toincrease the volume of traffic aimed at the target. DDoS attacks can also be reflected andamplified to further increase the volume of traffic generated.Generally speaking, reflected DDoS attacks are any attack where the attacker spoofs the sourceIP address to be the address of the intended target and amplified attacks are any attack where theoriginal attack is enhanced by use of another protocol, redirection, or spoofed

In addition to other outcomes, the mindset that a person has determines how theyinterpret mistakes they make; while someone with a fixed mindset thinks mistakes are failuresand result from their innate lack of ability, someone with a growth mindset views mistakes asopportunities to reflect and learn more.The two different mindsets grew out of the earlier work of Dweck et al. who considered howchildren deal with failure [2, 3]. They found that students who placed more emphasis on the roleof effort were more likely to persist during challenging tasks. As a result, Dweck and Legett [4]went on to describe two different forms of self-concept, one following an entity theory and thesecond following an incremental theory; these would later
