faculty beliefs about teaching and learning must be challenged in order for them toconsider how to move students to value higher order thinking and professional collaboration.20-21This situation exists in part from simple lack of awareness of advances in cognitive science andeducational theory6, 22-26, lack of confidence or encouragement in trying new pedagogies27-29, andthe sheer logistical hurdles involved in reforming a General Chemistry course that often hashundreds of enrolled students.The idea of a laboratory-driven curriculum is not new. In the FIPSE (Department of EducationFund for the Improvement of Post-secondary Education) Lectures on Chemical Educationdelivered at the 10th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education in 1988, John W

The students in the ECE program can beviewed both as four-year employees of the ECE workforce and as customers who pay for value-adding educational experiences. In addition, the students become mentors for new trainees/internsas they progress through the ECE undergraduate program. The freshman class constitutes the newinterns or entry-level trainees, the sophomore class form the mid-level trainees, the junior classrepresent the engineers with adequate basic training and working toward the required skills, andthe senior class identified as the engineers who have acquired advanced training and deemed readyfor real-world
attitudes and behaviorsexpressed by students and faculty from both outside and within Industrial Engineering (IE) affectthe perceptions that IE majors and potential majors have of IE as a discipline. In turn, thisperception impacts the attractiveness of IE as a major and a career path.The perception of IE surfaced in the context of a three-year study to examine reasons that theSchool of Industrial Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU) has achieved gender parity(award NSF-GDSE #0225228). The achievement of gender parity in this School wasspontaneous, instead of being the result of a carefully-conceived and well-financed plan to Page 9.2.1

Additionally, the AMALTHEA REU Programaims for developing and maintaining close ties to the local industry and government sectors. It issupported by a number of industry affiliates and collaborators that form the program's AdvisoryBoard (AB). The board's role is to contribute their technical expertise and aid in the assessmentand evaluation process of the entire program. More specifically, the AB members take part inAMALTHEA's Symposium at the end of the summer experience and help with

This table also demonstrates the horizontalscaffolding that occurred in the class. By connecting algorithm to construct, the re-designenhanced the germane load of the student learners. The instructional goal was to challenge the students to read codes as if they were a newlanguage. It was not expected that the students master the code’s nuances and reproduce them atthis stage. Rather, the goal is to immerse the students in a new language and expect them tofollow the general idea of how the language implements the logic

This protocol allows STEM faculty, after a short1.5-hour training period, to reliably characterize how faculty and students are spending their timein the classroom. The COPUS idea was developed to help STEM instructors in facilitating theprocess of collecting information on the range and frequency of teaching practices

limited preparation time caused by late funding and approvals to host the camp.We believe that a continuous theme would have provided a much more cohesive experience forthe girls and intend to begin development for the next camp well in advance.Last minute technical issues also resulted in several mentors with the faculty mentor spendingexcessive time making last minute corrections and testing rather than working with attendees.We will hence include more extensive testing for future events. Making certain everything isbuilt and prepared beforehand will help mentors be able to focus on teaching and helping thestudents. This will be accompanied by more extensive training for mentors to ensure a higherquality of instruction and support throughout

Issues of getting equipment in and out needs to be addressed inadvance, especially in light of the security protocols at many high schools these days.Some details that will greatly smooth out the entire process should not be overlooked. Simplemaps, to the high school and within the high school, should be provided to the engineeringstudents, as many will be taking their own cars to the event. Parking should be pre-arranged andany security guards at the high school should be informed. Equipment and displays will likelyneed to be brought in by other than the main doors and this should be discussed with the highschool security staff or supporting faculty.

To bemore precise, students attending schools with natural daylight demonstrated a performanceadvantage ranging from 5 to 14 percent over those in non-daylit schools, depending on whetherone considers short-term or long-term effects. Notably, the research revealed that the label "new"did not guarantee improved performance. Surprisingly, a newly constructed school withoutdaylighting exhibited a negative impact on students' performance [5].Considering the impact of a sustainable campus on the performance of students, faculty, and staff,a survey was conducted

Further, the study used the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) student learning outcomes as a starting point to show the need for andimportance of technical communications in the engineering profession. This investigation foundthat instructor selection can also be an issue, as many engineering faculty reported either areluctance for integrating technical writing instruction, or a concern that engineering faculty

The transcript of the notes was sent by e-mail to theinterviewee who was asked to return a corrected copy or indicate that there were no corrections.In this process, some of the interviewees indicated that they were concerned about the reflection,however correct, of their negative comments in the notes. They were assured that theircomments would be held in confidence and that such comments would not be attributed directlyto them. It was also emphasized how important their candor was to the accuracy and usefulnessof the evaluation.Step 4 - Analyze the data. The collected data were

related to ethical followership. Ethicalvoice is defined as “employees communicating concerns about violations of societal ethicalstandards (e.g., honesty, fairness, care, and respect) and/or suggestions about upholding ethicalstandards to people who might be able to effect changes (e.g., managers or coworkers)” (Chen &Treviño, 2023, p. 1316). It draws on a broader definition of voice as “informal and discretionarycommunication by an employee of ideas, suggestions, concerns, information about problems, oropinions about work-related issues to persons who might be able to take appropriate action, withthe intent to bring about improvement or change” (Morrison, 2014, p. 174).

But research lookinginto the preparedness of early post-grads has raised some concerns, with the Institute ofEngineering and Technology reporting that up to half of engineering students graduatewithout enough of the technical or interpersonal skills required by potential employers[3].This leaves three groups in a tough situation: companies looking to hire who need to quicklyupskill new employees[4], Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) who have to rapidly adjustcurriculums to meet the ever changing demands[5], and, most importantly, new graduateswho must take on
