For the cardboard chair project, 40% of students stated that their projects were self-evaluated primarily by considering whether their final outcomes met the initial design goals.Other reasons were “It was a good practice of engineering design process,” “I learned aboutteamwork,” “Our design process was good although the final product did not meet our designgoals,” etc. It was interesting to observe that the response rate for “meeting the design goals” asa primary judging criterion increased to 80% in the RC-car. Although there were still 20% ofother reasons like teamwork, learning, and communication, majority of the students judged theirRC-car project by comparing their

A task analysis was conductedto identify the cognitive levels [9]. See the sample problems in Appendix B for different problemtypes and cognitive levels.Test AdministrationNumerous studies have indicated that symbolic problem-solving presents significant challengesfor students [7, 10-12]. To prevent cognitive overload and ensure learning success, it is crucial tooffer support and prompt feedback. Consequently, these problems were

Accordingly, the metacognitive-informed dual-submissionhomework method adjusts to scaffold for higher expectations and student independence forlearning outcomes by shifting to initial submission with immediate assessment implementation.Appendix B provides an example for this implementation in a junior level course.

Engineers (Evaluation) AbstractThis Evaluation paper describes the preliminary findings for the first two years of a 3-year projectinvolving high school science teachers at a metropolitan-based university. The project’spredominant focus relates to energy, as a unifying theme across scientific and engineeringdomains. The project’s overarching goals were to: (a) deepen high school teachers’ understandingof engineering principles, practices and design, (b) support the development of STEM-integratedcurriculum aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, and (c) to enhance ongoingcollaboration and interchange among university faculty, local schools, and industry
interactions with faculty.The experience gained from this program will help us to be more prepared and creative inorganizing a similar program this year.

The problems will contain the useof the above functions where students only use a calculator to calculate the firstthree terms given in the above formulas. It is intended only as a learning resourceand can be used by any math or engineering educator.The example problems will emphasize the use of the right triangle ratios b/c, a/c,and b/a as the dependent variable. Graphs of sine and cosine will also be givenwith the vertical axis labeled as y/A and x/A as opposed to simply y. It will beplotted this way, because students have difficulty understanding why the righttriangle length ratios simply disappear when graphing the trigonometric functions.This supplemental chapter will hopefully

Building upon the success of the pilot year ofthe program, this study formally examines the effectiveness of the GradTrack program in itssecond year.Specifically, this study aims to address two questions: A) Does the GradTrack Scholars Programprepare participating undergraduate students for graduate school? and B) Does GradTrack assistin the professional development and sense of belonging for graduate student mentors? Toevaluate these questions, this research paper uses pre- and post-event surveys and a focus groupof mentors from the 2022 GradTrack cohort. This paper will also discuss modifications madebetween the first two years of the program. The results of this assessment and ideas forimplementation across other
