Increase the number of CC-HSIs who compete successfully as lead grantees on NSF projects; 2. Strengthen CC-HSIs’ STEM infrastructure (i.e., their capacity to increase recruitment and retention success rates among Latinx students); and 3. Engage CC-HSIs with a broader range of partners in K-12, industry, four-year institutions, and researchers to help sustain STEM programs and improve CC-HSI federal program competitiveness.Key

Atypical hackathon approach to PBL follows an unconventional route when compared to theclassroom setting. Their primary structure is a short-form programming sprint that takes placeover 24 to 48 hours in which teams of participants focus on making a working product fordemoing at a showcase. In this environment, demoing is a mark of success as it demonstrates thatthe team has created something they are willing to show to the public. While the structure andtimeframe differ

The key features of theprogram are (1) a single point of entry, (2) long-term and authentic research experiences, (3)participation in a broader impact project, and (4) personal mentoring between students andfaculty. Since its inception in 2003, the program has had 251 total student participants that havepublished 225 peer reviewed publications and 75% have continued on to graduate school.1. IntroductionA recent report analyzed what made students view their undergraduate education as being worththe cost [1]. The three largest factors were the following: • “My professor cared about me as a person.” • “I had a mentor who encouraged me to pursue my goals and dreams.” • “I had at least one professor who made me excited about learning.”All

Of all the motivational constructsexamined in our broader work, intrinsic and extrinsic goal orientation are the ones thatcorrespond most directly with students’ existing basic psychological needs—for stimulation,self-regard, the approval of others, belonging, and reward. It’s reasonable to understand that thepromise of satisfaction of these needs plays into a student’s motivation as he or she enters agiven class.So, what is it about engineering writing classes that students perceive to be less satisfying, onaverage, than non-writing engineering courses they are beginning at the same time?

rudimentary computer-aided designwork followed by an enabling description of the design in the patent application is all that isnecessary. However, this form of legitimate peripheral participation – as students areauthentically engaging in the patenting act in proximity to an experienced patent professional[10] – is a critical pedagogical strategy to help realize the broader goal of the development of aholistic awareness of IP concepts.One important aspect of patent drafting is claim drafting. Patent applications are divided into thewritten description (typically identified as specification), drawing (if needed), and claims. Claimsare provided in the forms of independent as well as dependent claims in a funnel approach withthe independent claims
