In a nutshell, it was evident fromthe evaluation that the Connect2U approach stimulated student interest and raised awarenessconcerning water resources.IntroductionThe purpose of undergraduate general education courses (GeDC) is to develop a wide range ofsocial, communication and intellectual skills in a student beyond the student’s chosen field thatwill be helpful in the student’s lifelong journey. Each institution, guided by the requirements ofits respective state’s education regulatory board, has accommodated its own set of GeDCsdistributed in various disciplines so that the students can choose 1. Hence, a GeDC classgenerally comprises students with different levels of interest, preparation, prior knowledge, workstyle and

as well as general participation in programs andevents aimed to benefit current students. Over the past three years it has become increasinglydifficult to recruit volunteers for WE@RIT’s largest event, an accepted student overnight calledWE Retreat; and the rate of no-shows at events targeting current students, called Kate’s Hours,has skyrocketed in some cases. For example, WE Retreat saw first-year student volunteerparticipation rates drop from 72% of total WE Retreat volunteers in 2010, to 36% of total WERetreat volunteers in 2019 (Fig. 1). This is a problematic trend given that up through 2019 amajor draw of the WE Retreat program was to allow prospective students to experience anovernight in dormitory housing, which first-year students

Analysis of Correlations in Student Performance in Core Technical Courses at a Large Public Research Institution’s Electrical and Computer Engineering DepartmentIntroductionThe National Science Foundation is supporting our Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)department at Colorado State University (CSU) through their “Revolutionizing Engineering andComputer Science Department” (RED) program. As the focus of this project, we propose toremove the artificial barrier that a traditional course-based curriculum creates [1]. To aide indoing so, we seek to understand the relationships of student performance between technicalcourses within the ECE curriculum. In particular, we begin by studying the

To facilitate the former, the students are given assignments toengage with specific types of companies, attend technical presentations, introduce themselves toconference organizers, and the like. The students are required to “connect” with graduatestudents who are currently engaged in the profession and learn about their experiences beyond anundergraduate degree.

Two key components of the project include: 1) in-person and online teacherprofessional development (PD) and 2) a learning community of teacher educators, engineeringeducators, and practicing engineers. The PD specifically includes a session that aims to createawareness regarding implicit biases and negative stereotype threats concerning engineeringeducation. The overarching goal of the PD and the learning community is to help teachers makepositive changes in their classrooms to affect student pathways to higher education institutes.High school educators are critical change agents in promoting the pursuit of

Learning outcomes in hands-on design courses are a critical component to student engagement and retention withinengineering and the liberal arts.

225,500 graduate STEM degrees were awarded in the U.S.; 181,000 being masterdegrees and 44,500 were doctoral degrees [1], [2], [3] . According to the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) [4], URM graduate students only earned about 9% of the overall doctoraldegrees awarded in 2015 and about 13% of undergraduate degrees. This evidence suggests thatSTEM doctoral programs in the U.S. are severely deficient in representation from students ofdifferent racial and ethnic groups. This is a disturbing historical and contemporary trend thatuniversities should pay close attention because of the implications on America’s ability tocompete on a global level with nation states succeeding at preparing individuals for careers inSTEM fields.The participation of URM

The first indicator of stoppage is the student’s explicit statement that their process has stalled. The interviewer must make an attempt to gather clarifying information from the student during the interview to verify that the solver is truly unable to continue.2. Stoppage must occur prior to solution search or solver must have rejected previously posedsolution.
