Buildingupon these pilot efforts, we are actively expanding adoption of the APEX program in severalways. First, we have begun holding summer and winter training workshops for faculty at severaladditional community colleges. Second, we are refining and improving the FLC experience aswe initiate new FLCs with these institutional partners. Finally, we will continue to assess theprogram’s efficacy through a research plan that evaluates student and faculty experiences,allowing us to optimize

Perhaps the greatest argument for returning to recruitingactivities, including in person events is the fact Engineering Technology (ETEC) is hands-on, andit is important for potential students to come experience things like the state-of-the-art lab facilitiesat ETEC. Fall of 2021, The Department of Engineering Technology organized Saturdays@SAMand ExCEL@SAM events in conjunction with campus Visitor Services.

Specifically, we seek to answer the following questions: 1) How has students’ familiarity of PM skills changed after taking this course? 2) What are students’ opinions on the course delivery?MethodsThe student survey analysis served as the major assessment instruments in this assessmentproject. We developed surveys using Qualtrics and asked enrolled students to complete thesurveys throughout the semester. The purpose of the surveys was to gather students’ perceptionsand satisfaction with the course and their ability to apply material to their research.

This workshop was based on the Bryn MawrCollege Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES) workshop. To encouragefaculty to attend future workshops on diversity and equity, the SOE had a raffle for staff andfaculty who took the implicit bias tests found at the Harvard site: Project Implicit:https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html.The formal response addressed each of the students’ recommendations.

One specific need is for a program-wideassessment and evaluation plan that goes beyond student-learning objectives and incorporatesprogrammatic initiatives such as increased retention and student motivation.

Compared to most other active learning strategies,POGIL is more explicitly constructive because of the way its activities are designed andfacilitated.
