Page 22.1163.23 Student ExpectationsStudent expectations vary greatly from campus to campus, and their respective teachingassessments may also vary. At large institutions, it is often common for students to have littlepersonal interaction with faculty members. Questions of course content are handled by teachingassistants either during office hours or in recitation sessions. A faculty member who has onlybeen exposed to this environment would then be very out of place at a school which does nothave teaching assistants and has small class sizes.Student expectations also vary between classes.

Although these efforts are largelycategorized as outreach, we view them as an important component of community engagement asthey often provide the first hands-on introduction to engineering for many members of the public.Despite the many small and large scale efforts made by public agencies, non-profits, and otherentities (such as AAAS Center for Public Engagement with Science, Science Festival Alliance,and The Citizen Science Association), it has been hard to effectively assess the impact of theseefforts.In this paper we take a preliminary step towards addressing this shortcoming by using social mediadata around an

Large scale maps, maps that could bring together all of the informationin a course or a series of courses, quickly become too complex to be processed by the learner andthe maps no longer present the same advantages that smaller maps have. In a phenomena labeled“map shock,” the learners become overloaded by the complexity of the display and eitherbecome lost in the material or disengage because of the complexity [6].
