This was reflected in one response, “We also knewthat the isolation would have an effect on the structure response however, we didn’t expect it tohave a huge impact. The results of our data was shocking to all of us.” Lastly, by using theisolators in the experimental test, the students had excellent insight into ways that these 3Ddevices can be improved for future applications as discussed in the next section. Overall, thestudy was effective in bringing a rather theoretical subject matter such as seismic isolation to lifeand increasing students’ ability to relate to the subject matter and begin to build upon

Eachindividual brings a unique perspective to a classroom experience, which influences theirperception of the communication skills, organization, and caring spirit of the professor. Whilethe proposed rubric does not eliminate the subjectivity of a professor’s teaching performance, itdoes provide a tool for young professors to reflect on performance and identify focus areas thatare shown to improve teaching.Final Credits – AcknowledgementsThe inspiration for this collaboration began at one of the staple experiences for young andaspiring civil engineering professors.

Based on theresults from our current study, engineering students believe they should be learning ABETprofessional skills via integration into the core curriculum.

By the end of the module, students create anautonomous line following robot. Throughout the process, students are asked to reflect upon howthey could improve upon the previous week’s design. As part of this process students areintroduced to various electrical/electronic devices, such as a digital multimeter, a DC powersupply, SPST and SPDT switches, a phototransistor, DC motors and a microcontroller.

In non-discipline specific courses, it can be challenging to designa project that piques the interest of all students. Some, like Shepard, will opt for giving thestudents a choice of projects. Most professors do not allow students to design and choose theirprojects, as it can be tough to achieve engineering learning and grading rubrics can bechallenging.

is that women in academia are often seen as lessaccomplished and less capable than their male counterparts regardless of their achievementsand as a result, receive lower ratings [16]. Most evaluations do not reflect the faculty’sknowledge, clarity and organization, but show students’ attitudes towards the class andinstructor instead of information on teaching performance, resulting in some instructorsreceiving higher rating by offering students extra grades [14], [17].There are fewer studies conducted on minority faculty research, especially females and racialminorities, compared to studies on faculty evaluations [18].

Unsurprisingly,team relationship obtained a higher score which reflects the group’s main trait of agreeableness. The Pearson correlation of the eight dimensions demonstrated various significantcorrelations. As figure 3 shows, purpose and goals were significantly and positively correlatedwith team relationship. Team relationship is related to how each member appreciates each other,listening to each other, communicate with each member and so forth.

to adopt best teaching practices in theclassroom is essential [17] for their success. According to [18], there are ten practices consideredthe best for teaching math and science. These include: use of manipulatives and hands-on learning;cooperative learning; discussion and inquiry; questioning and conjectures; justification ofthinking; writing for reflection and problem solving; use of problem-solving approach; integrationof technology; teacher as a facilitator; and use of assessment as a part of instruction. In addition,understanding students’ misconceptions also supports teachers’ pedagogy [10,19].The research literature indicates that providing effective technology PD to STEM teachers has apositive effect on teacher and student learning
