student roles within the teams, new procedures wereimplemented in year two. More specifically, students rotated through three pre-defined rolesduring the first month of the course such that each student experienced each role. These roleswere “managerial”, “organizational”, and “research” from Table 1; “technical” was not includedbecause its main relevance came later in the projects. After the first month, each team wrotetheir own team contract in which, among other things, the division of roles was established forthe remainder of the term. The evaluation team will assess the effectiveness of these newprocedures at the end of year two.Concerning the goal to start the TLP Learning Community (TLC) meetings during the 2008-9year, an engineering
LearningA CPR session contains two very distinct types of instructional activities: (1) the studentconstructs a communication product to fit a fully-specified rhetorical situation and (2) the studentparticipates in a collaborative, evaluative exercise that culminates in self-reflection. Suchactivities facilitate the movement from novice to professional for students by explicitly modelingstrategic processes characteristic of expert behavior.Strategies are powerful manipulations by which the problem-solver (1) defines the task andmakes analogs to other similar situations, (2) prunes away extraneous elements or eliminates"noise" from the problem space, (3) mediates state transformations, such as clustering specificsand making super-ordinate categories
sequence.Because the SKA’s shown in Figure 3 were identified for the entire program at a highlevel, the team used these SKAs to further decompose them into lower levels and adaptthem specifically for the design-stem sequence.§ Technical knowledge in specific disciplines was not a part of this survey and was left to faculty Page 14.426.6members in those disciplines to identify. For instance, the technical knowledge in mechanicaldesign was determined by the design-stem sequence faculty team. Figure 3: Benchmarking Results of High-Level SKA’s for the Entire CurriculumII.B.

communication and teamwork skills.ABET therefore now proposes improvement for the knowledge, skills and professional values for thegraduating students. In addition, analysis of the industry studies, together with the review of theABET accreditation criteria and study of engineering education reveals that the industryemployers and the students are looking for significant changes to the current philosophy anddelivery of engineering education [5]. These issues can be summarized as follows: 1. Engineering curricula does not provide sufficient integration of engineering science and technical topics to industrial practices. 2. Programs at times do not provide sufficient design experiences to students. 3. Graduates lack communication skills as well

Team C conductedintermediate and final analyses of their designs and seem to have a series of small additions andanalysis that occupy their final design session. The modest change to their systems productionand small number of actions taken on the system suggests the team is refining their design beforecompleting it.Team D’s design process is displayed in figure 6. Like Team A, Team D submitted 3 sites, whichwere the only sites they considered: Ice Rink, Elementary school and the Public Works Building.Their time on each design was relative short and optimization only appears to have happened atthe beginning of each of these sessions.

performance and progression andcause a reduction in career aspirations.The importance of hands-on physics preparation cannot be overemphasized, it emerged as anexperiential approach to bridge gaps, and fostering deeper learning. This method enhancesunderstanding and engages students in laboratory experiments, collaborative projects, andsimulations. It also assists in problem-solving, and critical thinking skills [2]; [3]. Pertaining toengineering education, these procedures are essential for developing the technical and analyticalcapabilities needed to address modern challenges. In Kolb’s experiential, learning theory, it wasseen that active engagement encourages retention and skill development, which STEM fieldsconsider to be valuable.However, HBCUs

Growth in the Number of Faculty and Institutions using CATME Team Tools.The most recent growth in system use has introduced an interesting complication—as the userbase expands, it extends beyond “early adopters,” who are comfortable manipulating theinterface with little guidance. Rather, the most recent users are more likely to seek help gettingstarted, which can be quite time-consuming. Rather than divert resources to technical support, ausability study of the interface (scheduled as part of this project) has revealed opportunities tomake the

students taking STEM courses atboth secondary and post-secondary levels [3].To attract more students to STEM fields, educators and industry professionals have beenimplementing innovative strategies, such as workshops, extracurricular activities, and summercamps that provide hands-on experiences and experiential learning in various engineeringdisciplines [4-5]. These workshops engage students by showcasing the practical application ofengineering principles and introducing them to the challenges and excitement of real-worldproblem-solving. High school plays a pivotal role in shaping students' STEM career trajectories.For those entering the workforce directly, high school is when many solidify career paths,including those in skilled technical STEM
investigated how elementary students emotionally responded to engineering designtasks in an after-school STEM program, focusing on positive and negative experiences. Thestudy involved nine grades 3–5 participants in various engineering tasks to combine creativityand technical problem-solving. Activities ranged from creating circuits with Makey-Makey Pianoto assembling drones and hacking toys. Data were collected through structured interviews andemotion-tracking sheets, capturing students' feelings about successes, challenges, and momentsof difficulty. The results indicated that students frequently expressed positive emotions such asexcitement, happiness, and pride during tasks that allowed for tangible, creative outcomes. Theseemotions were often

Thisallowed multidisciplinary collaboration for diversity of thought.IntroductionWith funding from the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (EHR/DUE) of an S-STEMgrant, researchers at the University of Arkansas aim to increase the number of low-income studentswho graduate with a STEM degree and who have training in innovation. As a first step, a 2-weekbridge program was designed and implemented for the first-year scholars.Assessment of the bridge program will be presented. Some data highlights on the 3-credit hourcourse include: 96% of participants felt that the class was valuable in developing theirunderstanding of innovation and appreciating the importance of innovation; 88% felt it helpedthem

In a 45-minute session, small groups of studentsare presented with a complex, real-world scenario that includes

More details can be found in our prior publications [10].One key component of the courses is the labs which introduce students to the common labequipment and instrumentation. Similarly, projects are essential, and students are givenflexibility in the choice of topics. Learning outcomes for the course include the ability to: 1. Solve engineering problems 2. Perform research on areas of electrical engineering 3. Write technical reports and summaries 4. Perform basic lab experiments 5. Complete a project involving both design and technical elements 6

structural engineering. Students attended live sessions twice a week consisting of one lecture and one labsession. These live sessions were held in the late afternoon to avoid potential schedulingconflicts with summer school or other student obligations. Prior to the live sessions, studentswere randomly divided into groups of 4-6 participants, with 8-9 groups in total. These initialgroup assignments remained in place for 3 weeks. After this time, the groups were reshuffled. Atthe 6-week mark, students were randomly placed into their Design Build Project Teams, wherethey remained for the rest of the quarter. This is described further below. In these mandatorysynchronous sessions, students answered concept questions individually and then

This was most salient in C2, a course heavily focused onwriting and reading, which had a weekly writing load of 500-800 words and an end-of-quarterfinal paper of 2500-3000 words. In this vein, students would use ChatGPT to support theirweekly writing tasks by generating a few discussion questions or some key points around thereadings for the week, which they would then use as a springboard for their own content. Insome cases, students also
