Topics of interest include computer science pedagogy, collabo- rative learning in college students, and human-centered design. Of particular interest are the development and application of instructional practices that provide benefits secondary to learning (i.e., in addition to learning), such as those that facilitate in learners increased self-efficacy, increased retention/graduation rate, increased matriculation into the workforce, and/or development of professional identity.Mr. William Rigoberto Mercado, University of South Carolina I am an undergraduate at the University

Mathematics and statistics courses instructorsoften report that students may lack the motivation to study, participate, and engage in theircourses. Students often fail to connect Mathematics with real life problems, and they havelimited comprehension of how what they learn in class can be applied in real life. To enhancemathematics and statistics courses we aim to enrich instruction and assignments with real lifeproblems from surveying engineering. Surveying engineering is a major with frequent use oftrigonometry and statistics problems. Surveyors routinely collect distance and anglemeasurements to determine coordinates and shapes, and make area and

Emphasis onobservational and empirical learning elements is an integral component in the creation of well-rounded and competent engineers and is a skill that is fostered in the laboratory environment. Justlike all aspects of engineering, the structure of these experiential courses must be dynamic andadaptable. For example, these courses should be able to adapt to modern challenges and industrytrends. Incorporating the use of virtual simulators to provide practical engineering experiences, inaddition to traditional face-to-face techniques, might help to accomplish this.
