SessionsTraditional freshman orientation sessions are designed to facilitate student transitions to collegeby providing information about student resources, college and department services, institutionalpolicies, advising, course selection, technology, and an introduction to physical facilities such asmakerspaces and labs. Studies suggest that well-designed freshman orientations can have apositive impact on students including improved student retention, persistence and academicsuccess [1] – [8]. In addition, orientation programs have been shown to lead to strong personalconnections between students and facilitate their overall social development [1] [6] [9] [10].More specifically, Gentry et al (2006) found that students who participate in orientation

Researchers have devised ways to measure self-efficacy in engineeringstudents14 and have successfully conducted interventions that have increased self-efficacy levelsof female engineering students.15 These interventions have increased self-efficacy by engagingfemale engineering students in mastery-orientated classes15 and curriculum design.20 A mastery-orientated classroom emphasizes learning new skills by focusing on the processes they involve.For example, Baker and colleagues, 2007, developed a course that embedded “tinkering”activities and applied technical skills.

andfemale graduation rates of engineering graduates remains disproportionate compared to otherdegrees awarded [5].Exposing students to chemical engineering concepts prior to major selection is critical inrecruiting students to the field of chemical engineering. There are several factors that we knowinfluence STEM major selection including: students’ interest in STEM disciplines [6], students’confidence levels in science and mathematics coursework [7], and familial influences [6,7,8].Because URM students are likely to have disproportionate familial exposure, it is important toexpose students to engineering in their formal education.

this training. As further evidence of this curricular need, this topic has been discussedby only a few recent studies5-7.One way to address this is to infuse courses with statistics and DOE components – not full-blowntraining in all of the techniques available, but rather an introduction to the common “tools of thetrade”. Logical places would be to interject these components in either a manufacturingprocesses course or an experiential learning environment. According to Lin et al.8, injectionmolding is one potential avenue that can be used for such curricular development, as it lendsitself to formal hands-on laboratory experiences.Injection MoldingIn fact, injection molding in educational settings has been discussed by several authors

.”Across different academic content areas, researchers and practitioners alike (Goldman et al.,2016; Osborne, Simon, Christodoulou, Howell-Richardson, & Richardson, 2013) agree thatargumentation is a promising approach for engaging students in epistemic practices. By usingargumentation to frame activities, K-12 teachers avoid “final form” instruction (Duschl, 1990),where concepts and findings are presented as unquestionable facts or formulas that lack thecontext of the history of their conception. Contrary to this typical epistemic culture, students whotake part in argumentation can construct and validate claims, establish the relationship between

To accomplish this, an ill-structured problem is developed, which will later be used todetermine, based on analysis of oral and written responses of participants in semi-structuredinterviews, attributes of the gap between student, faculty, and professional approaches to ill-structured problem solving. Based on the results of this analysis, we will identify what pedagogicalapproaches may limit and help students’ abilities to develop fully-formed solutions to ill-structuredproblems.This project is currently ongoing.
