activity requires students to use parts that have been fabricated on the 3-D printer to build a working solenoid. It is suggested that students use this task as an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) by designing and printing their own solenoid parts. However, the plans for the parts are available to download if the teacher prefers. Once the parts are completed, students coil wire around the solenoid frame. Lab 5: Investigating solenoids. The penultimate activity leads the students through putting all the related knowledge and skills together to use coiled wire connected to a battery on the 3-D printed solenoid tube to power a metal slug

Theobjective of this workshop was to determine one-year, three-year, and five-year plans for keyresearch and practice considerations related to the integration of highly-adaptable digital learningenvironments in STEM teaching and learning, as outlined in a White Paper commissioned byNSF on those topics. The White Paper provided a unifying roadmap for the future of the field,including the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of digitally-mediated team-based pedagogies, and was composed jointly by the organizers and participants of the workshop,to capture the essence

We will explore opportunities forhands-on student engagement with data analysis techniques, innovative homework problems, andlab activities. We will conduct assessment and evaluation to determine the impact of CSPs andmake improvements for the next offering of the course in Spring 2021.References[1] G. D. Hoople, J. A. Mejia, D. A.

planning our second iteration, we are using conjecture mapping [17] toconnect embodiment of educational design with mediating processes towards interventionoutcomes. In terms of embodiment, we believe that formative assessment, metacognitivescaffolds, and team-based learning are key considerations towards promoting the affective,motivational, and cognitive processes in students. Formative assessment will help practitioners,researchers, and students identify prior knowledge, skills, and practices, which could act ingenerative or inhibitory ways [18]. Metacognitive scaffolds can improve transfer of learning[16], which could have averted Clara’s mishap with hashtag-style commenting. Team-basedlearning can improve attitude and motivation [14], as

Or, does the ECE curriculum somehowchange these students’ perceptions about the prosocial affordance of the profession, andeven worse, diminish their empathy? These questions can only be answered by conductingthe longitudinal study of a neutral classroom condition as is planned in future work.4. Procedure – Video Production Intervention In order to force the students to make a connection between the course material and itsprosocial value, students were assigned a video production assignment. The students weregiven access to a screen recording tool (Camtasia Relay) that is provided to all students bythe university.

In this firstsummer of camps and data collection, we learned about the types of students that roboticsprograms attract. Most already have very high interest in STEM subjects. This coming summer,we will recruit more students with no previous robotics experience and lower STEM interest.Then, it will be possible to measure whether the program has a positive impact on STEMinterest, thus addressing one of our research questions.In terms of the research question about engagement, building was the most engaging activity formost students last summer

During the deployment, the instructor kept checking the “ModuleFeedback” in the PLE and responded to students’ comments and questions, posted homeworkand exam solutions after passing the due dates. Students also used emails or phone calls for theirquestions in homework problems, lab reports, and exams. The university used ProctorU10, anonline proctoring company, to proctor midterm and final exams. When problems occurred duringthe exams, the proctor immediately called to the instructor for immediate solutions. However,because of the three-hour time difference between Pacific and Eastern Time zones, some issueshad to wait until the following day.After the

Further analysis was undertaken to investigate the use of theoretical frameworks,outcome measures, and research methodologies in the reviewed papers. Sixteen of the 24 studies(66.7%) used at least one theory to guide their research. The two most frequently cited theorieswere Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior30 and Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory31. Each ofthese theories was referred to in approximately 33% of the articles.

Segal Education Council. Stacy is the lead instructor of the Interdisciplinary Design Projects sequence where students work on real projects with real clients in a learn-by-doing format in an atmosphere similar to a small design firm. In addition to design methods, the teaching team also provides contextual training in professional communication and in effective team dynamic strategies and tools. Stacy’s consulting work is primarily focused on innovation strategy. She works with clients to identify new opportunities and to develop roadmaps and implementation plans to achieve them. She also works alongside client teams to build their capabilities and she designs and facilitates ideation workshops.Trevor Harty

least not until the project was over. Instructors rarely, if ever, learned about problems earlyenough to intervene. Students repeatedly told us that it was not worth going to the instructor todiscuss team problems. Furthermore, there was a general sentiment that problem teammates areinevitable and there is little an instructor is willing, or even able, to do.This sense that slackers and other problem teammates are inevitable was also expressed by manyof the faculty Hunter (2009) interviewed. However, as we already established, many problemswith slacker teammates—and, to a lesser extent, problems with exclusion—could have beenprevented with clearer planning and communication about expectations.
