Many museums have professional development programs for teachers9, providinglessons and curriculum materials to supplement visits, as well as stand alone programs for use inclassrooms. Such materials are one of the ways in which museums not only enable success inconventional science education, but also connect those formal systems with the community atlarge20.Naturally growing from this focus on education, science museums are an incredible resouce forpublic awareness and engagment. “Public” is a can refer to a variety of large groups; leaders inand out of government, news and mass media, the adult populace at large, and theaforementioned children and educators21.

Additionally,these students realized they would not learn everything about technical writing andcommunications to be successful in one semester, and they would have to become self-learnersand continue to be engaged in their continuous improvement.Both positive and negative feedback are crucial to the process of growing and improving anycourse. Negative feedback can show opportunities to improve. However, when there is positivefeedback, it allows the faculty to perceive that the course and internship experience arenecessities for some students to thrive and learn beyond the classroom

with the recent decline in ASEE professionalmembership (7% decline since 2007) that ASEE and its divisions consider new ways to engagethe growing population of ASEE student members in an effort to encourage these students topersist as professional members. The following paper will not provide evidence that positiveexperiences for students will equate to continued membership beyond their student membership.Instead, it will suggest ways to meet student professional development needs as one mechanismto increase engagement of the student members of ASEE. We believe these efforts couldultimately have a positive impact on retaining student members as professional members

In particular, schools faced a massive shift to onlinelearning at every level of education. The stress of multiple rapid changes due to the pandemicand national current events has affected student learning in ways we are just beginning tounderstand. College curricula that heavily rely on hands-on learning and collaborativeapproaches, like engineering, have especially been impacted by this switch.This study explores how engineering students have navigated the sudden shift to virtual learning,what pedagogical practices have been effective, and how it has

Engineeringprograms in community colleges strive to reinforce student engagement that increases studentacademic and extracurricular success.

This method is based on designing or creatingproduct, solving problem, investigating, and developing an answer (J Dewey, 1980; J Dewey,2008; Kilpatrick, 1918). The PBL approach improves group work skills and collaboration whilekeeping students more engaged in learning by keeping them motivated as the key element of thisstrategy (Harun, Yusof, Jamaludin, & Hassan, 2012; Huang, 2010). The fundamental norms of agroup of students working together are communication and collaboration skills as well as anintrinsic motivation to become an effective group (Blumenfeld

Dr. Perry firmly believed in college students and intheir positionality, which is “literally one’s stance with respect to knowing, making meaning, andmaking commitments.”4 He believed that understanding the students’ positionality was key towhat and how an educator should teach and to ensuring that the students learned.

AssistantsAbstract Although motivation in the classroom is often neglected in graduate student training,most instructors and TAs intuitively understand that motivation is critical for effective learning.These intuitions are corroborated by the research on motivation and learning that consistentlyshows that students do not learn well unless they are motivated to learn. In this paper, we present the basics of motivation theories, their impact on studentlearning and their implications for teaching engineering. It is a primer of motivation theories andhow they can be used to inform and direct TAs work with engineering students. This primer wasdeveloped from the perspectives of a researcher of the preparation of future faculty and adeveloper of
