cumulative grade point average and are more likely to leavetheir STEM discipline [15], [16], highlighting the importance of positive interactions betweenstudents and professors [14]. The relationship between students’ retention in STEM majors andexperiences with discrimination by professors is especially significant for women andunderrepresented racially minoritized students, who are more likely to self-select out of STEMby the fourth year of college than their men, white, and Asian American classmates [10]. Ofparticular concern to the present study, Park et al. [10] found that nearly half of the women andBlack students in the study were not retained in STEM and graduated with a non-STEM degree.Further, women students of Color experienced higher

The textbook by Borman and Ragland3 covers most of the topics,with supplemental materials picked from Moran and Shapiro4 and Turns5. One large liquid-fuelrocket project is assigned after the first third of the semester, which concentrates on reinforcingthe equilibrium combustion in various conditions and introduces students to aerospacepropulsion concepts. A smaller second project provides students with an opportunity to studyincineration technologies.Concurrently, eleven weeks of laboratory exercises are offered in the thirteen-week summersemester when the course is

learning can take on many forms – from traditional tests and quizzes towritten laboratory reports, research papers, projects, etc. The focus of this paper will be toprovide a discussion about ways to incorporate writing into the curriculum as well as to providesome examples of how writing-based tools can be used to assess student learning. To this end,the use of rubrics can be very worthwhile for both the students and the instructor. As Spurlin hasindicated and modeled, the use of carefully crafted rubrics can be a useful way to demonstratethat students have met the criterion whether the communication is through either written or oralform3. In addition, the use of a carefully crafted rubric can help reduce the overall time neededto grade a

Howeverthe report questions this approach, defining the value of practical work early in the curriculum:“Practical engineering work is essential for the freshman not only because it appeals to hisprofessional ambition, arouses his enthusiasm, and gives him training in practice, but alsobecause it helps him to master the theoretical work more fully and more quickly.” (p. 88).Despite the emphasis on practice, engineering programs are distinguished from the moreapprentice-based model of medicine and law by their academic character: “In engineering, onthe other

As Page 7.1204.1articulated by Golde and Gallagher,1 three features of the doctoral educational system have led to Proceedings of the 2002 American Society of Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2002, American Society for Engineering Educationthis situation. First, the academic departments hold control of admission criteria, financialsupport, curriculum development, and graduation requirement. Second, PhD students workclosely with a single faculty member, who directs their research, integrates
socioenvironmentalfactors in the exosystem (STEM curriculum, qualified STEM teachers), the mesosystem(mentorship opportunities, family and peer support), and the microsystem (STEM interest, mathself-efficacy, STEM outcome expectations and choice goals, and math achievement) thatcontribute to low-persistence of URM youth in STEM education and careers. However, fewstudies investigate this problem in a pre-college population, analyze interaction across levels ofthe system, and emphasize marginalized students’ lived experiences through phenomenologicalapproaches.MethodologyThis study examines socioenvironmental experiences that shape persistence in a year-long after-school algebra-for-engineering program, interest in STEM careers, and post-secondary plans.Interviews

Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a

While such recommendations can help to improve jobcandidates’ problem solving accuracy and speed, they do necessitate a substantial timecommitment. Furthermore, in addition to focusing on programming skills, preparation for thehiring process may also entail the cultivation of a digital portfolio, and/or completion ofside-projects, coding competitions, and hackathons [13, 28].Behroozi et al.

asynchronous online learningenvironments encouraged mixed (i.e. higher and lower) performer collaboration [17]. Casqueroet al.

Although researchers [18] have found that student onlineinteractions correlate positively to student course performance in a small (40 students,) f2f,project-based, engineering course, a need exists to understand the potentially uniquerelationships that exist between student interactions and student performance in the context oflarge, f2f engineering courses.Interaction Types and FrequencyAmong small groups of engineering students, Zhu and Zhang [19] found that network densitywas positively correlated to team
