major gap in how the outcomes of the summerbridge programs are assessed or evaluated. These outcomes are generally assessed using self-reported data on participants’ perceived levels of academic preparation and post-participationperformance during the first and second semesters in college [3]. An unaddressed issue is thenon-consideration of the overall students’ experience, and the lack of in-situ feedback to bettersupport students throughout the program. This traditional approach to assessing summer bridgeprogram outcomes hides the impact of personal and inhibiting institutional factors on students’experience in summer bridge programs [3] [4]. Hence, this approach informs mainly thestructuration of the program for future cohorts.Mezirow’s

Her research has been published in College Teaching and in two edited volumes. Dr. Delima’s work and research interests are informed by her prior roles in elementary schools in Southern California, as a Research Assistant for the Department of Mexican American Studies at the University of Arizona, and her involvement with Professor Anna Neumann on Metropolitan Colleges Institute for Teaching Improvement at Columbia University. Her research interests in higher education are supplemented by her prior work as a student
faculty advisor as well as two informal staff (lecturer) mentorsand categorized their feedback. Three main categories emerged: (i) the role of the organizationon campus, (ii) their impressions of our current programming, and (iii) the engagement betweenour chapter and the national society. Both of our informal mentors cited our chapter’s unique roleon campus in offering a meaningful community for student pedagogy development. The primaryengagement many graduate students have with pedagogical training is through programmingrequired for teaching assistants (TAs). This typically includes only one quarter of teaching formost engineering departments; few students undertake additional teaching roles. However,students may have time and interest in the
workplace. The idea, however, thatany team will function at a high level (i.e., productively and constructively) without purposefuland well-informed effort is not true. The literature on forming teams supports the notion thatteams thrive when team members feel psychologically safe, are engaged in setting goals, andare dependent on and are accountable to one another. It is unclear, however, what theappropriate conditions are in a given setting (e.g., athletics, school, workplace) that willencourage the formation of healthy teams and appropriately engaged team members. The goalof this study was to introduce, for the first time, CATME in Stanford University’s mechanicalengineering capstone design course (ME 170, Mechanical Engineering Design

ConclusionsThis paper describes a capstone senior design project that builds a wireless sensor and actuatornetwork for monitoring the energy usage of AC appliances in a home environment. The designof the system prototype including two measurement nodes and a central server module isexplained. The system prototype meets the design criteria. The implementation and performanceanalysis of this design project will be finished in the Spring semester of 2011 (The project is stillongoing when the paper is finalized). The design experience in this project will expose thestudents to up-to-date wireless and sensor technologies in an emerging real-world application.Bibliography1.

post-pandemic, as the line between honesty anddishonesty is not even perceived by many students [20]. Not only are more robust tools availableto students, they also do not always recognize academic dishonesty as such. It will be importantto gather faculty and student perspectives to determine an appropriate assessment modality thatshowcases students’ understanding while minimizing the opportunities for academicdishonesty.References [1] Ilya Mikhelson, “Introduction to electrical engineering: Empowering and motivating students through laboratory-focused teaching,” in 2024 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, 2024.
