course learning outcomes [1].From the students’ perspective, review sessions serve as an opportunity to learn about the examformat and get a general understanding of the types of questions they will be expected to answeror the types of problems they will be expected to solve. On the other side of the classroom, for aninstructor, exam reviews may feel like a tedious and redundant exercise, where one is expectedto regurgitate topics already covered in detail and to solve a series of example problems teasinglysimilar to what might appear on the exam.Another approach to exam reviews is hosting a question-and-answer (Q&A) session withstudents without a set agenda. This approach usually leads to disastrously low classroomparticipation and
instructors is one of the primary reasons why many CBOs have few academicenrichment programs [17].The optimal STEM/STEAM instructor to implement an OST activity need to have the followingcharacteristics: 1) Be knowledgeable in the subject area (content knowledge), 2) Be knowledgeable in the ways to learn and teach in the informal setting (pedagogical content knowledge), 3) Time availability to provide instruction in the times the schools are not in session (generally afternoons, Saturdays and breaks), 4) The cost of the instruction needs to be affordable by the CBO.From the description above, it is clear that the potential poll of instructors able to provide high-quality STEM/STEAM instruction in CBOs in their OST

a modeling assignment is completed.Some Relevant Reported Research A significant body of past work exists around automating CAD model assessment. Most ofthis work has focused on the summative approach that analyzes a result with the goal of scoringa student’s work and providing ex post facto feedback on the differences with the expectedresult. One focus of this research is on evaluating 2D drawings generated from 3D CAD models.Hekman et al.

The narrative many university programs rely on is that getting a degree will lead to betterwork outcomes 1 .

Iterations are encouraged, to combine and improve ideasas they are generated.Evaluating prototyping options – Students’ natural tendency is to focus on one of the first designideas generated. While the enthusiasm for design ideas is encouraged, an objective comparisonof different conceptual design alternatives is required, with the class motto “the first design israrely the best” infused often throughout class discussions. The use of a decision matrix isrequired. The decision matrix includes design criteria with metrics and a scoring mechanism torank each design alternative.

As a result of completing the three-semester FIREexperience, students earn nine General Education credits which count towards graduation. It isworth noting that, because the FIRE curriculum is aligned with the university’s General Educationrequirements, participating in FIRE helps these students’ progress toward their degree no matterwhat their major is or might be in the future.

The world andthe needs, however, are changing at a fast pace. These changing needs make it essential thattoday’s engineers possess entrepreneurial mindset and skills in addition to being equipped withdiscipline specific technical competencies. Engineers with this mindset focus on the big picture,have customer needs at the center of their

The course is offered every three semesters. The last three offerings ofthe course had between 42 and 50 students enrolled in each semester. Prior to that, the numberof students enrolled was typically approximately 30 students a semester. Generally, between 1and 3 graduate students are enrolled in the course, so that the

In 2008, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop on SocialJustice, Sustainable Community Development and Engineering at the National Academy ofEngineering, which included a session titled “Implications for Engineering Education” [2]. Inreflecting on the workshop, lead workshop organizer, Rachelle Hollander, noted that “thequestion of engineering and social justice was a hotly contested topic at the meeting, whilehumanitarianism and engineering or engineering and social responsibility was not. Someengineers did not think social justice (whatever it was) was an

Eleven experienced college algebra graders of a large state university were asked tograde graphs of linear equations generated by students in their classes, and interviewed to clarifywhat features of the graphs were important to them in grading. When grading each graph on ascale of 10 points, the graders generally agreed on the relative worth of particular features: acorrect slope was worth 4 points, y-intercept was worth 4 points, labeling is worth 1 point. Afterthat, and everything else was a matter of 1 point. Furthermore, the graders judged slope andintercept from two points (the y-intercept and the first point to the right).

In addition, being an old program,the lab was originally designed for some of the more traditional Bioengineering fields, such asbiomechanics and instrumentation. About 15 years ago, in 2006, a new Bioengineering building was constructed reflecting thechange in the field to areas related to molecular biology and tissue engineering, among others.The instructional lab was moved to a new home in a lab which contained chemical hoods andcell culture hoods, but was still nevertheless setup with stations designed for physiological andinstrumentation studies (Figure 1).
