).InstrumentsValue, Expectancy, and Cost of Testing Educational Reforms Survey (VECTERS)To assess faculty dispositions towards, and use of, specific active learning strategies, the Value,Expectancy, and Cost of Testing Educational Reforms Survey (VECTERS) was utilized [23].VECTERS measures dispositions towards, as well as current and planned use of, three activelearning strategies: (1) Using formative feedback to adjust instruction (2) Integrating real-world applications (3) Facilitating student-to-student discussions in classVECTERS prompts respondents to consider each strategy and consider the degree to which they(a) expect the strategy to be successful, (b) find it valuable, and (c) believe it is costly (e.g., time,resources).

-2016 and 2017-2020).Program objectivesThe program-level objectives of the ReNUWIt REU are (O1) to provide participating studentswith hands-on research experiences using cross-disciplinary, systems-level approaches, thatdirectly address the design of urban water infrastructure and key knowledge gaps in waterscience/engineering, and (O2) to increase undergraduate students’ interests in pursuing advanceddegrees in water science/engineering, with a particular emphasis on women and minorities.In addition to the program-level objectives, we identified five student-level outcomes thatprovide a framework for the assessment plan. We proposed that through participating in thisREU, students would: (S1) conduct independent research in water science or

instructor is progressively scaling up the course toaccommodate larger numbers of students than what an instructor could handle in traditionaltechnical writing courses. In the fall 2017 semester, the instructor accommodated 50 students intwo sections, and in the spring 2018 semester, the instructor allowed that number to rise 75students across two sections. For the fall 2018 semester, the plan is to accommodate 100 studentsacross two sections. To assist the instructor in the mentoring and grading, the course uses a teamof undergraduate mentors. These undergraduates have excelled in the engineering writing course. While technical writing courses such as at the University of Texas at Austin [3] andengineering courses such as in the Mechanical

measures of engineering task self-efficacy (ETSE), followed by their female counterparts. These results add evidence to theassertion that women often possess lower self-efficacy compared to their male peers [16-20],with concrete professional implications. Awareness of these results is important for engineeringeducators and administrators when interacting with diverse students in the classroom, inmentoring scenarios, and in planning support activities. Drawing from Bandura’s sources of self-efficacy [4], engineering educators can be intentional about designing mastery experiences,providing explicit social encouragement, and creating environments that foster a positiveinterpretation of somatic and emotional responses, particularly for URM and women

characteristics, self-assessments of selected learning outcomes,and future career plans. The survey also queried students‟ perceptions of classroom practices,out-of-class interactions with faculty, and extracurricular experiences. Chairs were askedquestions about their curriculum, educational support programs, and promotion and tenurepractices. Faculty members responded to questions (similar to those posed to chairs) about theirprograms. Faculty members also reported on the emphasis they give to the attributes specified inthe National Academy‟s “E2020” report, the teaching practices they employ in a course theyteach regularly, and on their level of agreement with the goals of the NAE report.

The research analyzes the change in students’ attitudes, and reveals that learningservice through selected project types has an impact similar to that of service learning. Resultsshow that there are some changes in attitudes and future planned activities after participation inthese projects, similar to those seen in hands-on service-learning environments. In addition,comparisons of students on non-service focused projects to those on actual service-learning orservice-oriented projects show they are significantly less affected in terms of concern for socialproblems or that non-profit work is a true venue for engineering work.Introduction and

One student described thatSustainable Energy as a whole course supported the broader integration of engineering conceptsand their practical applications. It helps put all the other classes into the wider focus and give more perspective… It helps us see the connections between everything, and Sustainable Energy definitely helps with that.An

thestrategy, and then detailing its research base.Pre-writing. Pre-writing tasks provide opportunities for students to consider what they know anddon’t know about a topic, to organize their writing, and to plan their approach to writing [36, 38,39]. It includes all activities that culminate in a piece of writing: minute papers, reflections,assigned readings and responses, prelab assignments and discussions, and documenting theexperiment itself.Multimodal writing. This form of writing means incorporating multiple modes, such as images,audio, video, and text, and following discipline-specific or genre conventions [40]. Withinengineering genres, this commonly means interpreting tables and figures that display data orresults.Feedback and revision

The students are clearly connecting the content to a social learningenvironment, and as a result, they are better able to recall and reason about course material.18Many teachers spend a significant amount of class time going over the correct responses to anexam, or worry that they cannot take the time to do this without losing content coverage. Ratherthan spend the same amount of time going over the exam, a team test allows students to discover,justify and own the answers. By having students spend time working through the exam with eachother, the students become teachers, participating in reciprocal learning.For planning teacher-to-classroom feedback, the group exams give a better

These “energy bumps” become less severe as thesemester progresses and especially in subsequent years, but the additional upfront effort coulddiscourage some young faculty from implementing the new model. These concerns are partially,though not completely, alleviated by the new course structure proposed in the previousparagraph.Some tips for ease of implementation: 1. Plan ahead. The number one tip is to strategize and prepare in advance as much as possible. From choosing the software one feels more comfortable with to design the exams with, to having handouts prepared in advance (during previous semester or over the summer), to having

Data is currently being collected using a different set of students with the same conceptualquiz but taught the topic in a traditional classroom manner (control group).

, and responding to students’ ideas in ways that help students build on their priorknowledge (Richards & Robertson, 2016; Sherin, Jacobs, & Philipp, 2011). As Ball & Cohen(2013, p. 16) put it, “Examining student thinking is a core activity of [teachers’] practice.” Inorder to help teachers develop their responsiveness, teacher educators and teacher professionallearning communities typically rely on artifacts of classroom practice (i.e. examples of studentwork, video or audio recordings of classroom events, or field notes on classroom events) toanalyze pedagogical moves/approaches, to investigate the possible consequences of theirpedagogical approach for students’ learning, and to consider intentions and plans for futurepedagogical
