The idea was to spread the importance of women participating in STEM to the community. 4. Sharing: With their peers organizing the event as workshop collaborators. Also, sharing knowledge and experience acquired in each of their training areas to a younger community.Concerning the above, Danny, a university collaborating student, commented, "Thanks to theposter session of the meeting, I learned about a paleontology pioneer, Mary Anning, which mademe connect and extrapolate the biological sciences with the study of creatures that have been onearth for millions of

For example, written responses from trainees attribute the inclusive nature of theNRT program to the small size of cohort groups, the leadership style, and the opportunity toconnect with peers and professionals from diverse academic and ethnic backgrounds. Next year’ssurvey could ask in more detail about these factors. Sampling from subsequent generations ofNRT cohorts will also help us develop a larger database, allowing us to produce more solidevidence to support conclusions.AcknowledgmentThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT)program (NSF grant # 1828571).References[1] “Digest of Education Statistics, 2019,” nces.ed.gov.https://nces.ed.gov

How does the software development process used by students differ between capstone and hackathon projects?This is a qualitative pilot study meant to fuel future research on knowledge transfer betweenhackathons and academic experiences.

IntroductionWithin conversations on broadening participation in engineering, there is a longstandingrecognition of the need for and importance of institutional support for students fromunderrepresented demographic groups [1]. This support comes from many sources, such asinstitutional offices, programmatic initiatives, and informal mentoring by faculty and peers. Keyinstitutional programmatic interventions include bridge programs, recruitment incentives,scholarship support, and safe space communities for marginalized and underrepresented identitygroups. These initiatives act as a front line for addressing diversity and equity in engineering.Their importance has been

Muchof the focus has been on the use of reflection in teaching design.1, 2 However, there have alsobeen efforts to incorporate reflective practices into courses which are not specifically focused ondesign. If we are able to incorporate reflection into what “the students learn engineering tobe”3—meaning, the engineering science courses which make up the vast majority of mostundergraduate curricula—reflection is expected to contribute to learning outcomes and students’development of metacognitive and social skills.4Because exams are generally used for formative assessment, they are rarely also leveraged as

The Root Mean Square Error ofApproximation (RMSEA) is an absolute fit index based on chi-squared, degrees of freedom andthe sample size. A RMSEA of 0 indicates a perfect fit. It is generally accepted to use <= 0.08 asthe cutoff for a moderate fit. The Comparative Fit Index (CFI) is a comparative fit index basedon chi-squared and degrees of freedom. A CFI of 1 indicates a perfect fit. A CFI of >= 0.95indicates a good fit. The Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) is also a comparative fit index based on chi-squared.

Flipped and alternative classroom models have gainedin popularity in recent years and while the engineering classrooms in higher education havelagged behind their non-STEM colleagues in this process, the trend has continued to gaintraction over the last decade [1]. Adoption of alternative course models is due in part to thepromise that the flipped classroom design holds for engineering faculty to find a compromisebetween the long-venerated lecture format and the research-based instructional practices ofactive learning. In its idealized form, the flipped design allows instructors to maintain delivery ofcritical theoretical and background information by presenting this material to the students outsideof the formal classroom setting, thus
