The classroom time is used toanswer in depth questions related to the theory, work on projects associated with the theory, orwork on practice problems and apply the theory 20, 23. Most survey data from the students’perspective related to the use of flipped courses to provide instruction is positive 21, 24, but theincrease in learning from this delivery method is inconclusive. Some research reports anincrease in learning 23 and other reports no significant difference in relation to traditionalinstruction 25.

Infusion Working Group: We propose a working group of active participants be charged with formalizing strategic approaches to address challenges teachers face in infusing modeling in their daily practice.4. Repository: We recommend a small group develop a proposal for a curated repository of modeling resources, preferably peer-reviewed. (This is likely a huge, ongoing project, needing foundation support for any chance of being successfully and popularly used by teachers and the public.)The first of these is nearing completion, while the other three are all supported by a new NCTM-SIAMJoint Committee on Modeling across the Curriculum, which will likely

Student verbal feedback was positive for that pilot project. It encouraged me topursue this project more actively with a motivation to understand if there is indeed arelationship between these two factors. If administered properly, we also hypothesise thatonline quizzes will be able to save time for instructors in the long run, which is a significantadvantage in this age of ever increasing expectations from an academic citizen. In addition, itis expected that with the use of the online quizzes, significantly more class time will beavailable for

can follow.Research QuestionsThe experience of women in undergraduate engineering programs has not been examinedthrough a critical and qualitative lens; nor has the question of university type played a role in theresearch. The hope is that understanding how women experience undergraduate engineeringprograms at public state universities, the broadest impact on participation can be made. The goalof this project is to look at various stages of a woman’s educational journey in engineering toexamine the following: 1. How do women experience undergraduate engineering programs at public universities? 2. What role does classroom discourse play in shaping women’s experience in “gatekeeper” courses
]. Our study is focused on rewardpoints and leaderboard and evaluating their impact on student learning.Collaborative learning: Collaborative interactions among individuals, has shown positive resultsacross different levels of education, ranging from young children doing their school projects likecraft work in teams to university students working on development projects [17],[ 21]. At thesame time, it is essential to make a distinction between team performance and teameffectiveness. This is because team performance represents the results of group’s activities whilepaying little heed to how the group have accomplished the task. Team effectiveness, however,takes a more holistic point of view in considering not only whether the group

This section will introduce the topics under each of the fourcategories as well as provide references to the teaching materials.It is possible for our departments to provide hardware to students, but that was not done in thispreliminary case. Thus, the course will require students to purchase their own hardware to build afinal project. To offset this cost, the class will rely on open source teaching materials whenavailable. Consequently, most of the referenced books are available for free and provide thenecessary technical content that is appropriate for our students’ level.Section 1: Background (Weeks 1-3)This section refreshes analytical and programming topics that are needed for EAI.In terms mathematical content, we will

Research Purpose and QuestionsPast efforts to foster inclusion have primarily focused on the numbers and been limited in theways we teach, train and expose people to learning inclusiveness and empathy. Moreover, suchefforts are also linked to the misconception that increasing demographic representationnecessitates an inclusive environment. Cultures must change to achieve inclusion. The role of thefaculty in shaping culture, specifically in engineering, is critical and yet, understudied. Throughfaculty, this project seeks to address a major area of engineering research, broadeningparticipation, in a novel way. Specifically, rather than

And I said, "What I'm most awareof everyday is that I'm Black, I'm a woman, and I'm short."How does your gender impact your experience in your doctoral program?It impacts it a lot. As an example: I was in a group project last semester, and Imade some suggestions. Everybody ignored my comment. Some guy said thesame thing 10 minutes later, and they're were like, "That's a great idea." And Ithought, "I'm just going to shut up from now on and just.” I reverted back into thatminimization because it's like I literally said that's what we should do, and nobodypaid me any attention.What does it mean to be a Black woman in
