academic programs and key administrative units, such as the Professional EnrichmentCenter (CEP) and the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS). The liaison librarian to the College ofEngineering was particularly effective in partnering with the Engineering faculty to a) cultivatethe development of information literacy skills, b) create specific assignments, and c) offercustomized instruction sessions and workshops on a wide variety of topics. These trainingsessions included topics such as finding scholarly information, evaluating Internet resources,writing literature reviews, citing references, and presenting ethical issues related to academicintegrity and plagiarism. Furthermore, the engineering liaison librarian works in collaborationwith the College

In general, many of the control groupapplications focused on household products with shape memory alloys. For example, participantscame up with armor (Figure 7.a), a key (Figure 7.b), and a screw driver tip (Figure 7.c) that 9could return to its original shape after being deformed. In the intervention group, participantsgenerated more broad applications for shape memory alloys; participants
(Fundamental) IntroductionThe increased focus on computational thinking (CT) has grown in recent years for variousreasons, such as a general concern about (a) a lack of global competitiveness among Americanstudents and general literacy in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (Hsu& Cardella, 2013), (b) maintaining the economic competitiveness of the U.S. (Yadav, Hong, &Stephenson, 2016), and (c) preparing students adequately for a society that is increasinglytechnological (NRC, 2011). CT can help individuals analyze and understand multiple dimensionsof a complex problem and identify and apply appropriate tools or techniques to address acomplex problem (Wing, 2010). Furthermore

interviews withstudents. Interview questions varied, but always asked students a) what they worked on that dayand b) if they encountered any sticking points in their work. These interviews constitute the datafor this paper. Data collection spanned two and a half school years.Participants in the full study were 40 students who enrolled for at least some portion of theschool year. This group was racially diverse: 2.5% were Asian, 25% were Black, 17.5% wereLatino/a, 35% were White, and 20% were two or more races; 47.5% were girls, 47.5% wereboys, and 5% were gender non-conforming. Across this full group, our data corpus consists ofapproximately 600 short interviews. For this paper, we analyze a subset of this data corpus,namely the data for 9 students
, parents are demonstrating an increased interest in the post-graduationoutcomes of their students. A recent article in the New York Times stated, “Nowadays, it’sapparent to college administrators that many parents want more for their children from collegethan just an education. As a result, finding ways to get students to connect early with careerservices support has become a goal at many institutions around the country” (Hannon, 2018).Demonstrating its graduates’ career readiness continues to be mission critical for institutions ofhigher education. But, are graduates career ready? The National Association of Colleges andEmployers (NACE) surveys graduates and employers regularly to gauge their career readiness(NACE (a), 2018; NACE (b), 2018). In

The class in which the author includeda video explanation of homework problems had 17 students enrolled but one student wasauditing the course. The grade distribution for this class shows a significant increase in numberof Grade A results and consequently decrease in number of Grades B and C. The gradedistribution for the class with video responses is statistically significantly different from thetraditional homework classes (p-value < 0.05).Course Evaluation ResultsThe course was perceived as very difficult by students when they were assigned traditional

The evaluation was based on (i) the instructor asked the studentsto respond a rubric as given in Appendix B, and (ii) the instructor administered a formal test of thestudents on the entire topic (sensor).

studentand university names provided in this paper are pseudonyms. The student pseudonyms werecreated to include the race and gender of the participant. For example, if a student indicated thatthey were Black on the demographic survey, their pseudonym would begin with the letter B. Inaddition, if they indicated that they are a female, we would give them a name that generallycorresponds with that gender. In the case of a student who indicated that they are female and Black,a name such as Becky would be used. If they checked more than one race, their name would beginwith the letter M to represent multiracial. Table 1-Student ethnicity by gender Table 1 Student Ethnicity by Gender

What isknown is that many schools are attempting to address this SLO in a manner they see fit based ontheir interpretation of what SLO #9 means.Similar to the ACCE, the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) [2] requires anumber of student performance criteria (SPC) that share likeness to ACCE requirements. Inparticular, the following NAAB SPCs require architecture programs to demonstrate studentachievement of the following: B.10: Understanding of the fundamentals of building costs, which must include project financing methods and feasibility, construction cost estimating, construction
