The assignment sheet isincluded in its entirety in Appendix B. There were additional oral instructions and some CFDdemonstrations given during class to better express the expectations. Several aspects of thisassignment were purposefully left vague so the students had to make choices and be somewhatcreative in how they approached it.

There were no respondents indicating a dual major orundeclared as their current major in the follow-up survey.It is important to the understanding of this survey that since the curriculum has the Introductionto Architecture course as a prerequisite to the first architecture design studio, the benefits of thiscourse should be considered within this research.

In otherwords, a student’s grade in one class would not impact their performance in the other. Courseinstructors advised students who were off-cycle or had to drop “Circuits, Signals andMeasurements” that

The pedagogical changes brought on by the COVID-19pandemic served as a natural experiment for the latter.Over the course of six contiguous semesters spanning Fall 2019 to Fall 2021 we measuredabsolute and relative self-concept (engineer versus clinician) from 333 students via explicitdeclaration, and via an implicit attitudes test (IAT). The IAT is a psychological test that relies onrepeated measures of response latency in a subject’s association of two concepts – in this case,between the concepts of self and other, and the concepts of clinician and engineer. Weinterpreted the resulting measure of implicit bias as a measure of career self-concept.The data suggest

Other examples include the EERI, the ESIT, DIT-2,and the Survey of Ethical Reasoning (SER) which measure ethical judgment [18]–[21]. Whilethese quantitative measurement instruments can be useful, such measures can be challenging toimplement [13]. Specifically, the measurements are (a) inflexible in that they cannot be adjustedto account for one’s learning context, (b) purely quantitative and thus fail to elicit students’views in their own words, and (c) prime students to focus on certain ideas, thus activating extantschema [22] while foreclosing other possible responses.

Thisindicates that college administrators might be able to use programs like the one described in thispaper to help manage college enrollments without impacting graduation rates. Moreover, therewas no ill-effect noted based on URM status or gender. Researchers could scale up a similartype of study and investigate program matriculation timing across numerous institutions to see ifa similar type of pattern is observed.References1. B. L.

First, as shown in the middle panel of Figure 2, we introduced only a verticalrotation of the metal beam by clamping it in the middle and applying a point load to the end.Rotation is not something a strain gauge can sense, since it uses the deformation of a metal foilto generate its signal (namely, a changed electrical resistance). In this setup, the small rotation isreadily determined, and produces evenly spaced and perfectly vertical fringes. With 4 fringesacross the 10 mm of beam

and Arts students’ search processes. We mayexpect that undergraduate students experience cognitive complexity with more advanced searchtechniques, like proximity searching, truncation, wildcards, or Boolean expressions, for example.However, analysis reveals that undergraduate students experience cognitive complexity in basicelements of library research: a) deciding which terms to use, b) knowing if they are searching inthe right place, c) examining each article to weed out less relevant articles, and d) evaluating thequality of a source. Our findings reveal a sizable disconnect between what librarians may expectare basic elements of the search process and what students experience as cognitively complex.Introduction As public internet
