theNGSS [34]. The urgent need for large-scale teacher PD to support schools for effective adoptionof NGSS has been highlighted recently [35]. Unfortunately, as reported in a study of NGSS-focused PD [31], participating teachers experienced significant challenges in aligning lessons tothe NGSS because of (1) limited time, materials, and curricular resources and lack of continuedsupport and (2) lack of assessments to support teacher transition away from the old sciencestandards. According to [31], incorporating the NGSS in classroom teaching and learning wasadditionally challenging because new NGSS-aligned assessments were not adopted by the schooldistricts, resulting in a mismatch between classroom instruction vs. the student learning outcomes.For

Studies have also focused on the development of exercises [9] and learningtechnologies [10] for hands-on educational activities.Undergraduate research is one form of project-based learning (PBL). The application of PBL tocybersecurity education has been previously studied. Studies have considered the use of puzzles[11] and challenges [12] to aid learning. Significant interest has been paid to competitions [13]–[16] and the students that participate in them [17]. A limited amount of prior work [18] has alsobeen conducted related to undergraduate research activities in cybersecurity and the benefits theyproduce.2.2. Project-based

Her current work focuses on supporting and evaluating the construction of collaborative communities and building evaluation capacity within organizations and large-scale programs. In all efforts Adrienne works to (a) truly understand the purpose and needs for the evaluation or research undertaking, (b) develop feedback cycles that support continuous program improvement, (c) make implementation and impact data available and interpretable for program implementers, and (d) select the most rigorous, yet feasible analytic designs that are tailored to the unique needs of each program context.

recognition of the need tohave TAs and peer leaders prepared to support active learning in the lectures and recitations.With each subsequent year in the project, changes were implemented based on lessons learned inthe previous semester. In addition, the focus on cross-course connections has deepened, withfaculty not only looking at concepts that apply across courses but trying to understand whycertain concepts are not transferring. There has also been an increased use of assessments toidentify exactly where the students are having difficulty to address deficiencies in understanding(or, in some cases, gaps in prior knowledge). There are beginning to be more sophisticatedattempts to evaluate the success of the changes that had been made. For example

Third, the structure of theWAE program included individualized mentoring for interested faculty (and, in this case, theircourse staff) while they were implementing changes in their courses. The pilot run of WAEoccurred over an academic year, with the weekly meetings occurring in the fall semester and theindividual mentoring in the spring. A detailed description of the WAE program is available inWare et al. [10].This paper presents a case study from WAE that highlights how the cooperative, interdisciplinaryprogram fostered change within a writing-intensive Physics course.

Framing agency provides a lens forunderstanding the kinds of design learning experiences students need to direct their ownlearning and negotiate that learning with peers in design projects.IntroductionManaging design projects in undergraduate coursework is challenging, in large partbecause design problems are ill-structured, meaning there are many possible solutionsand framings of any design problem [2]. As engineering programs have increasinglyincorporated design challenges into first year and core courses, faculty must makedifficult decisions about feasibly managing design

While teaching assistants can come in both flavors ofgraduate and undergraduate, multiple studies show the positive effects of using undergraduateteaching assistants (UGTA) on the overall student experience.In a 2015 study by Arizona State University Schools of Engineering [2], undergraduate studentretention practices were analyzed to determine the factors of retention of first-year engineeringprograms. Comparisons in the value of curricular and co-curricular experiences as well asstudent support programs showed that providing peer mentors as role models or UGTAs
