It is unlikely thataccommodations are addressed at all in TA training, and it is also concerning to the extent thatTAs are preparing for faculty positions and may someday become professors who reproducethese intolerant attitudes and experiences.B.

. Itwas a conscious effort to develop a design system methodology to obtain a solution byoptimal means. It requires a new teaching methodology and an effort to overcome theunavailability of textbooks to cover this design system approach.The SDIA is fun and exciting for both students and instructors, as each individual studentbecomes a contributor and co-owner of the course. During a typical class meeting, theSDIA promotes the evolution and continuous improvement of the course structure byintroducing new ideas, posing new challenges, and requesting student feedback—all ofwhich combine to yield extraordinary results. As its name implies, the SDIA is a processthat aims to produce optimum design system results by meeting stated objectives
research, especially for students from groups that are underrepresented in scienceand engineering majors and careers [1]-[6]. For example, students with research experience tendto have stronger problem-solving skills and are more likely to go to graduate school and pursue acareer in science or engineering. But scholars know little about what actually happens duringstudents’ research experiences that creates these desirable outcomes. Understanding howstudents learn and develop a sense of belonging in engineering by joining a research communitywill shed light on important issues of engineering education and professionalization and informstrategies for how research communities can better support students from underrepresentedgroups.

The conversations with individual students allowed for praising an individualstudent’s strengths and answering their particular questions and concerns. It also provided anopportunity to talk about any differences in instructor-assigned score and students’ assignedscores to help the students realize the rationale for these differences.Findings from Pilot Implementation of E-CompeteThe average scores for the outcome categories for the initial, mid-point (midterm), and end-of-research(final) are shown in Table 6.

Students also described concern that theclass would see or hear family members in the background.Exam 1 was the first indicator of low student performance. Although, the Exam 1 submissiondeadline was extended by 2 weeks and everyone eventually submitted the exam, the mean scorewas 68.77%. The last time the class was taught by the same instructor, during the Fall 2018semester, the average score in Exam 1 was 76.42%. Compared to Fall 2018, the Spring 2020Exam 1 mean score was low.

Amore careful investigation of negative behaviors, particularly using the lens of motivation, mayhelp educators improve teaming experiences.BackgroundTeamwork is generally considered vitally important to engineering practice. Accordingly, ABETaccreditation guidelines for programs require documented student outcomes of engineeringcurricula that include both ‘an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams’, and ‘an ability tocommunicate effectively’.6 In a survey of faculty, students, and industry professionals,communication was the highest-rated trait for graduates, with another study

enable students to focus on achieving dramatic media artifactsrather than the underlying mathematics. As observed at other institutions, many students withoutprior interest or exposure to programming who took this course reported increased interest inprogramming.17, 12Focus groups with our target group (intending engineers and CS majors) indicateddissatisfaction. These students were frustrated by the graphically focused activities. Theyindicated that, as intending engineering, they wanted opportunities to learn how the graphicallibrary was implemented, not just how to use it. This observation triggered a sequence ofrefinements that eventually resulted in a new course that uses the programming of simplemathematical algorithms that render graphics
