Our strugglingStudent 3 (class rank 17) had the third highest number of views and finished almost at the bottomof the class (barely earning a B). Students 3 and 12 would likely not have been as successfulwithout the videos. Out of curiosity, we noted the students who mentioned the videos as beinghelpful to their learning in the discussion board. They are shown in red in Figure 6.While this is just one class of 18 students, the analysis of the viewing data, coupled with thewritten feedback on the class, revealed some interesting information on videos views andperformance.

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken

Within the survey, respondents were asked (a) whichtypes of programming were currently being offered and (b) which types of programming wouldthey like to see in the future. The results are shown in Figure 3. The majority of respondentsindicated that their Student Chapter offers teaching preparation (63%, n = 42) and research (72%,n = 48) programming, while academic assistance (40%, n = 27) and job search (37%, n = 25) Page 26.236.5programming was less likely to be offered.

STEM content learning standards.Given the potential for gains in student knowledge of the work of STEM professionals,particularly in engineering through engagement in the core STEM practices, there is justificationfor assuring that K-12 teachers are prepared to and are supported in teaching in ways that engagestudents in core STEM practices. We maintain that there is a need to offer professionaldevelopment that enhances teacher capacity to help them shift their teaching to better engage Page 26.232.3a Irvin, P. S., Saven, J.

mixed messages that may arise from the facultyor students interviews. Some examples here are: a) the SSR included the program admissionpolicy for 2010-2011 and the one for 2012-2014; b) both the college course transfer policy andthe departmental were included.The subsections related to Student Performance Evaluation, Transfer Students and TransferCourses were thoroughly explained including even redundant details. The reason is that lack ofdetail may cause unnecessary questions when the evaluation team is reviewing the transcripts.This section allows explaining the potential reasons for courses that were taken without theappropriate pre-requisites (which many times are easily explained because of a change in catalogand course descriptions).One
engineers fully aware of their social responsibilities and better able toconsider related factors in the decision-making process, institutions must require course work inthe humanities and social sciences as an integral part of the engineering program.

Then, relates author’s preliminary findings on teaching/learning practices in engineeringcolleges of the Region, sheds light on the pros and cons of the lecture format, and examines theliterature on meanings and substance of different active learning protocols focusing oncooperative engagement strategies.
