eachcategory for every class, it is important to diversify the activities in and out of class so studentsare exposed to multiple ways of learning and problem-solving. B. CollaborationScaffolding in a CBLE is very effective especially for individual learners as discussed above.However, another important component of CBLE is collaboration [3], [14]. Collaborativelearning encourages students to engage in discussions and evaluate different perspectives, whichhelps develop their critical thinking skills [14]. Collaborative learning is necessary to prepareengineering students for the professional world, where it is a daily occurrence [14], [15], [16].E. Dringenberg et al. [15] identified and described the categories of collaborative, ill

attendance.The inference to be drawn from these initiatives is that a. Information of flexible pathways to graduation without identifying the student as belong to non-math ready (pre-major) or major was an effective means of transforming retention for students. b. An active engagement with the community college leading to pragmatic dual enrollment rather than sequential attainment of an associates degree preceding initiation of college degree plans improves retention c. Communication to students for increased connection with under-represented students is aided when students work directly with students supported by staff over reach out by full time staff.Table 2: Demographics of students 2015-2022

Students started from a skeletalPython code file provided to them and completed the code while trying to run it on the flower potat their stations. In these modules we used the Thonny Python editor [17] that comes with theRaspberry Pi instead of the Jupyter notebooks. Once again, a very active lecture environment wasgenerated with this approach. After the lecture, the instructor posted complete PowerPoint slidesand files containing Python code.(a) Initial notebook given to students without any Python code.(b) Python code typed into the notebook during the lecture to

The game is played twicewithin a 65-minute class session. The first game does not have any tariffs imposed and thusrepresents a liberalized trade environment. The game is then run a second time under a scenarioin which one country has invaded another country and in response multiple countries haveimposed import tariffs on each other. Students also spend five-minutes reflecting on what theylearned about international trade. While the specific results change each time new student teamsplay the game, the general results that a) there are winners and losers from tariffs and b

The zero initial values for the number of crosslinks (NCL) suggeststhat students may not be connecting concepts as easily as may be desired, especially in an upperdivision course that the micromoments were implemented in.

The project ended with the students filling out a questionnaire where they valued theproject and their individual contributions to the group’s work. The purpose was to encourage thestudents to reflect upon their work, their need for improvement, additional studies, and to be partof the summative assessment: Who had done what?

The senior year laboratory is divided into two interdependent sections: (a) studentscomplete four pilot-plant-type laboratory experiments, and (b) they simultaneously develop aresearch project that is self-directed to promote PjBL.The first half of the senior year laboratory is focused on open-ended problems, and it isstructured using elements that gradually contribute to independent learning towards PjBL. Thisgradual approach is also applied to the safety experience. During this half, students completefour experiments, we follow a safety format that mimics the safety practices in the junior year:students create a written safety section for each report and
