While this offering was considered successful given thecircumstances of development, feedback and observations from students, teachers, and graduatestudent mentors highlighted limitations of this format. Some of these challenges centered aroundthe clarity of project instruction and lack of discretized scheduling to help guide students throughthe completion of projects. However, most prominent upon reflection was the loss of student-centred, open-ended, and iterative problem-solving opportunities typically afforded byDiscovery.To address these limitations and challenges, program structure for remote Discovery wasredesigned and implemented in

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

This means that a stable and well-defined range of subjects is becoming obsolete. We need to provide a structural overview in their field of study that will enable them to integrate the knowledge they are constantly acquiring. It will be our job to provide this framework. 4. Mode of Assessment: Standardized tests or general exams are useless. Student assessment should be based on their individual reflection of their own learning progress and their contributions to the collective learning process. 5.

Several studentsexpressed a fresh awareness of the curriculum design and an appreciation of the attention of thefaculty to their education. This exercise was especially beneficial to students within one or twosemesters of graduation. Because graduate students have moved to a different level of theireducation and are focused on research projects with timelines not bound by the semester, nosimilar exercise was used.The first undergraduate project was an individual assignment titled the North Carolina SwineIndustry Summary, and was designed to build on earlier lessons and prior knowledge

At SJSU, as well as nationwide,social science students tend to be more diverse than engineering students [13], [14]. This patternis reflected in the demographics of students completing the minor, such that a higher percentageof Applied Computing students are women and underrepresented minorities relative to studentsin the College of Engineering, in which 19% are women and 22% are URM [13].

For the 2019-2020academic year, all the actualization of the projects happened simultaneously with the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven months of design work suddenly had to pivot intoprojects and deliverables that could be completed remotely without access to much of the tools,equipment, and resources typically used by teams. This transition was much easier for someprojects than others.Upon completion of the Spring 2020 semester, the instructors reflected upon the outcome of thecourse and acknowledged several positive and negative aspects and used those to guide changesimplemented on the next iteration of the capstone course.

There are several limitations to the current student group work and collaborationliterature. Most notably, current studies limit data collection to single semesters and/or to singlecourses, and therefore do not capture the longitudinal effects of collaboration. We identified onlyone study [6] that extended data collection beyond a single semester. This study reported thatstudent network connectedness continued to develop throughout students’ freshmen, sophomore,and junior years; network connectedness later dropped during the students’ senior year.
