A laser sensor was used to measure positionand thereby derive velocity. Volunteers fromclass were recruited to perform thedemonstration and data was gathered real-timeon LabviewTM software. Again, momentummeasured was lower than predicted by thecalculations, due to rolling resistance.As part of the grant project this module wasconverted into a video format on youtube.comso that other schools can use it.

improvestudents’ sense of each course’s relevance and transferability.For the purposes of this portion of our research, we have focused on end-of-semester responsesto two sections of the overall survey: 1. The Perceived Knowledge Transfer Scale or PKTS (see Appendix A), which measures perceptions of a course’s relevance and transferability on a 7-point Likert scale.15 2. The Learning Climate Questionnaire or LCQ (see Appendix B), which measures students’ perceptions of learning autonomy in the classroom on a 7-point Likert scale.16, 17The Perceived Knowledge Transfer construct asks students how clearly or strongly they connectthe content of the course to learning experiences in other

End-of-semester writtenreflections in response to a set of open-ended questions have helped us to capture the key pointsstudents are taking away from the course, as well as their self-identification of how well they aremastering different aspects of the design process.2 We have obtained IRB approval to usehomework submissions and end-of-semester reflections from consenting students as part of ourassessment data for the class (Spring 2016: 104 students; Fall 2016: 78 students).Overall, the course has thus far been well-received by students, with very strong final courseevaluations. We analyzed the end-of-semester student reflections to determine, among otherthings, which aspects of the course they most liked and disliked (Table 2a, b), as

Two scholars fromCohort 4 graduated and nine scholars were retained in LSU Engineering.Overall AssessmentIn order to assess the effectiveness of the Pathway Scholars program and the experiences oftransfer students, questionnaires were developed and distributed to students. These questionnairesqueried demographic information as well as information regarding students’ choice and feelingstowards the experiences they have had within an engineering program. Further, the questionnairesallowed for the assessment of anticipated hurdles upon entering the four-year university system.Responses were compared between existing Pathway scholars attending LSU (Appendix A) andthose students anticipating transfer into the college (Appendix B).

For example, the research team has already defined a CREATE student as a student who has successfully completed a CREATE course. Therefore, only data from students with grades of A, B, or C will be analyzed as a completer. The research team is in agreement that students who did not satisfactorily complete a course did not benefit from the successful learning that we are trying to trace into future wage increases and educational attainment).

Incomparison, the traditional paper-based assignment had the same problems but distributeddifferently (with part a, part b etc.) resulting in 7700 possible problem submissions. Out of these7700 problems, 433 (5.6%) were not submitted. In this case, six students accounted for asignificant portion of the missing submissions. To further evaluate the data the missingsubmissions were divided into five categories. The first category was assignments missing oneproblem in the assignment, in other words, the student skipped one problem when trying to solvethe homework assignment. The remaining
