In conclusion, a simple and straight forward way to implement DOE exercises in thefreshmen level course titled Circuit I is the right approach to instill critical thinking for hands-onexperience. In addition, it is the right place, based on student aptitude and attitude, to work ontheir own engineering circuit design process. With this success, we plan to implement DOEexercises with different levels of emphasis in advanced courses as well.V ConclusionsIn this paper, a

In order to quantitatively evaluate the outcome of this program in the followingyears, a combination of objective and subjective assessment tools is proposed.Students will be surveyed on their opinions and knowledge of robotics, engineering and STEM,both pre-camp and post-camp. A comparison of pre-camp vs. post-camp survey results will beused to gather data on the change of student perception as well as their learning outcomes. Inaddition, systematic interviews and classroom observations can be planned throughout theprogram. Results from such interviews and observations can help determine the

The team also plans to have left over food in the cafeteria sent to animal shelters to feed homeless animals. In addition, the team is holding several cooking classes on campus with a dietitian who will teach the community how to eat consciously.

For the summer semester containing some flipped instruction, aformative course evaluation survey was administered. Our course evaluation survey wasmodeled upon the work of Leicht, Zappe, and colleagues in their flipped classroom research andwas expanded upon based on our own research questions and interests [12,14].2.

Anotherreason to explicitly attend to these dimension, even while being unsure of our own footing onthese arguments, is that we feel not doing so would contribute to silencing (and hence,marginalizing) how gender, race, and public discourse play a role in the phenomenon we study ineducation research. In future work, we plan to collect demographic data which might help usrefine our claims. As initial explorations, the arguments presented in the paper are bound to haveinconsistencies and incompleteness.

According to Harren: This stage is characterized by an alternating, expanding and narrowing process of exploration and crystallization. The expanding aspect of exploration involves searching for information or data about the Task and about the Self-Concept in relation to the Task1.The Task here can be related to the particularities of the career or major, which is the aim of thisstudy. On the other hand, the Self-Concept in relation to the Task has a strong connection to theCompetence Beliefs, as defined by Eccles and colleagues in their expectancy-value

One of the possible reasonsbehind this increase is the structured guideline introduced in Intervention 1. Since in F13, therewere no explicit instructions on how to write an abstract, the introduction of a guideline withspecific details has shown to provide the students a clearer way to write the abstract. It must alsobe noted that providing the students with sample abstracts could also be a possible reason behindthe improvement in terms of the existence of the codes as the students were able to refer to thesesample abstracts and start planning

One drawback ofthis approach is the sacrifice of depth in some course topics to allow more time to teach contest-relevant material.
