Once the topic is set, the graduatestudent-professionals begin their research and writing for the course. In brief, the courseis broken into the following topical progression: • Weeks 1-3: topic determined, schedule proposed, research issues addressed • Week 4: the art and science of persuasion • Weeks 5-6: effective presentation techniques, slide design for technical work Page 26.1780.5 • Midterm: begin to secure audience members, room, permissions to record

team activity on identifying learning objectives and competencieswas carried out. The participants were asked to form groups of 4-5. They were provided a list ofsample competencies and learning objectives. They were asked to critically evaluate threecompetency / learning objectives, and list what is missing, and how each competency/learningobjective can be improved. The participants were asked to identify the one your group will use asa template for further development, and justify their choice. Each group was asked forrecommendations on improvements to be made.3.3 Talk 3: Identifying “Tool maker” and “Tool User” CompetenciesThe focus in this talk and associated activity was to address QW2: “What are the keyfoundational technical

Additionally, two surveyswere distributed before the cybersecurity micro-credential. The first survey focused on K-12teachers’ demographics, and the second survey focused on K-12 teachers’ attitudes towardcomputer science. Finally, an attitudes survey was conducted three times (pre-micro-credentialPilot 1, post-micro-credential Pilot 1, and post-micro-credential Pilot 2).The attitude survey measured K-12 teachers’ attitudes toward computer science utilizing 29questions (Ravitz, Stephenson, Parker, & Blazevski, 2017).

To quantify this broader spectrum of the qualityand effectives of hybrid courses, future work will also include a a Hybrid Course Maturity Model(HCMM) which includes quality and quantity ratings in the following areas : (1) recordedlectures (2) discussion forums (3) online quizzes (4) online worked-out homework (5) onlinehomework submission and grading (6) student polls/feedback (7) online course shell design andease of use (8) technical support and (9) LMS platform stability. Coupling this with theknowledge of trends in student use of technology (especially Smartphones) should provide addedinsight aimed at improving the effectiveness of hybrid STEM courses.References:Naseer, M.

Itwas difficult to let the group move on when he believed this material was important.Finally, as noted above, the co-author became deeply involved in a few one-on-one discussionswhere he was an expert in the course material content. Most members were left out as the co-author engaged in extensive technical discussions with one other member. Although theseoccurrences were rare, they served to derail the session since facilitation was absent.

This variability is particularly concerning in thelarge undergraduate gateway courses that are pivotal to students’ persistence and subsequentacademic success. Target courses for the program were defined as those that 1) enroll largenumbers of students, 2) enroll students from multiple departments, 3) are regarded as challengingteaching assignments, and/or 4) provide a foundation for subsequent courses.

As the number ofcorporate partnerships has grown at WPI, so too has the complexity of the communication andnumber of internal and external stakeholders required to support the partnerships. With thisgrowth, the ACE division established processes to facilitate accurate, timely communicationbetween busy internal and external stakeholders. This
because they may imply noadditional cost to the department or to the industry. Faculty industrial internships could lead totimely improvements in the technical curriculum, enhance a faculty member’s research agenda,and help with the university (this is true of almost all universities) mission of outreach to thecommunities that they serve. Timing considerations are a key factor when planning for thefaculty intern assignment.

That canwork well, especially if many of the participants have not worked together before.However, it is a ‘burst-mode’ technique that does not offer enough sustained study touncover the risks in complex technical systems.
