challenge due to the unavailability of the participants and their parents. This was resolved by arranging the camp in two separate weeks to make sure that all twelve participants can take part in both weeks’ activities.(3) The length of the summer camp was an issue for some participants. Personal conversations with the participants revealed that some of them would preferred a week-long camp instead two weeks. It was also reflected in the performance of some of them as they become less attentive at the end of week two.(4) As shown in Appendix A, a session was scheduled for parents to inform them about their children’s career in engineering/technology areas. However, the session was postponed owing to less interest from them

Further, none of the students responding to the evaluation after theredesigned course reported attending less than 60% of the lectures. It must be noted that sinceattendance was self-reported and data was only available from the students completing thesurvey, these results may not reflect the actual attendance in lecture. Anecdotally, lectureattendance was observed to be better throughout the

A sample list of course modules is shown in Table 3, which reflects differentschool districts, different STEM subjects at both middle and high school levels. A complete list ofcourse modules is posted on the website [4]. Note that these modules all made use of the inquiryapproach to teaching to some extent. Further, many of these modules were implemented insideclassrooms as observed by OU faculty visiting the sites. Thus, we also make the claim that thisallowed more underrepresented students (that is those attending minority school districts) toparticipate in STEM research. In short, intermediate goals 1, 2 and final goals 1 & 3

These reflected the experience ofthe course staff throughout the changes. However, it would be valuable to look at this processfrom the students’ perspective. To understand students’ perception on quizzes and exams, weanalyze the results of the end of course evaluation. In particular, there are two questions regardingfairness of assessment contents and fairness of assessment grading. In order to study the overalltrend, we collected six semesters of data from the fall of 2015 to the spring of 2018

Visualization of teaching cases ismainly reflected in two aspects: visual explanation and visual programming. 1) Visual Explanation Usually at class, when teachers need to explain certain complicated problems, if they useonly verbal language to describe them or use abstract methods such as formulas, studentsmay find it difficult to understand. However, if teachers use visual explanation methods suchas animation to visualize complex problems graphically, students might find it easier toaccept

However, before diving in, I reflected on my availability and the perceived requirements this project would entail. As important as this project is, it deserves a fair bit of time, energy, and attention. The fact that I am a part of this paper, reveals my decision. This begs the question: If I were to go back, would I still agree to take on this project? The answer to that question is yes.

Most makerspaces allow users to constructphysical models using computer-aided design and 3D printers to prototype artifacts. Inrelationship to the construction that takes place in maker spaces, most of the literature states thatmakerspaces facilitate activities constant with the constructivist or constructivism cognitiveframework of learning [2]–[6]. Essentially, “Making as a pedagogy reflects theories ofconstructionism [7].”Making involves many different activities including learning, yet the nature of that learningbeyond constructivism is not fully agreed upon in the literature.

In PSYC 100, students would use this spreadsheet knowledge tolay out a weekly personal schedule, which could form the basis for a discussion of time-management skills.

Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering.
