aiming for a grade of‘C’, or perhaps ‘D.’ Perhaps most discouraging was that students were not improving as thesemester progressed; despite my efforts at providing quality feedback, I continued to see thesame errors repeating themselves.About the same time that I became disenchanted with my grading process, I realized that ourstudents were not experiencing writing as an iterative process. This was an important realization,since most of the writing undertaken by professionals is written and rewritten many times beforeit is made available to the intended audience.Further rationale for this new approach was that many faculty members cite their co-writing ofreports and papers with their graduate school research advisor as having the most influence

Effects of STOMP on Students’ Attitudes and Understandings toward the Engineering Design ProcessAbstractAt Tufts University there exists an engineering educational outreach program called the StudentTeacher Outreach Mentorship Program. This program is designed to take engineering studentsand place them in K-12 outreach to act as mentors for teachers and students. Previous researchconducted on the program showed that participation in the program helped students developmuch needed citizenship and communication skills. Administrators of the program have longhypothesized that the program also assists in the development of deeper understandings ofengineering related concepts.

forboosting the confidence and creativity of freshman students while introducing them to theengineering disciplines. The core philosophy behind the LWTL concept is to create a learningenvironment that empowers students with a “can do” attitude. One of the essential ingredients tothis environment is transitioning students from their previous learning mode to a more self-reliant mode of study. The LWTL curriculum encourages this transition through the use of acommercially available “lab” and real-world projects.The LWTL curriculum was motivated through a combination of the following factors: 1. Our college vision of “being the best college in the world at integrating engineering and science in research and education” 2. A noticeable change in

This multi-method approach, utilizing the rich dataset of the AcademicPathways Study, enables us to consider approaches to understanding the ‘confidence gap’ inengineering students.Introduction:Despite years of research and intervention, women continue to be underrepresented inengineering.1 Women earned less than one-fifth of the bachelor’s degrees in engineering andengineering technologies granted in the U.S. in 2004.2 One reason for the gender gap which hasbeen explored by researchers is a gap in self-confidence, which

In all instances, the topics presented, utilize course theoriesand/or equations. Working in teams students prepare reports and “fun” presentations to be givento their peers.
