She received her B.S. in chemical engineering from University of Michigan in 1985 and she received her M.S. in 1988 and her Ph.D. in 1991 in chemical engineering both from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Karen’s educational emphasis includes: critical thinking, enhancing mathematics, engineering entrepreneurship in education, communication skills, K-12 engineering education, and promoting women in engineering. Her technical work and research focuses on sustainable chemical process design, computer aided design, mixed integer nonlinear programing, and multicriteria decision

While the data to confirm this belief is purely anecdotal, the students do seem to bemore engaged with the class and its format, something that was noticeably absent during the fallsemester. This observation works in the direction of our first objective of this project to improvethe student learning environment. A longer term consideration is that the staff would like toimplement performance testing within the class, such that students must show that they areproficient on specific skill sets at various points during the semester prior to proceeding tosubsequent modules. Second, the staff is considering

could increase the mentee's self-efficacy. More recent research has evenexamined mentoring relationships in STEM + entrepreneurship. For example, Elliott, Mavriplis,and Anis [5] studied the efficacy of peer mentoring on women in STEM who were involved inentrepreneurship programs. They found mentoring to positively affect both retention in theprogram and feelings of community. Our research is unique in that it examines perceptions ofmentoring in the context of STEM + Intrapreneurship from the perspective of the students,faculty, and industry mentors. While the research is unique, it extends the previous researchmentioned above on the efficacy of mentorship.student concerns: analysis of interactions with mentorsTIP students choose industry and

Our understanding of interactivity draws from the studies of Moore15 , that there are 3 types of interactions commonly identified: learner-instructor, learner-learner,and learner-content.Our focus on the learner-instructor interaction involves engaging a team of 1-2 faculty and 4-6course assistants who are graduate students at the university. Each course assistant is responsiblefor 20-23 students to aid in class discussions, communicate logistics in class as well as betweenclasses, hold face-to-face meetings, and provide frequent feedback in

Each step within design phases consists of a variety of types, ranging from questions for students to answer in multiple-choice or free-response short-answers to creating drawings, or sharing designs with other classmates through the design wall. For example, the fourth activity in the Community Garden project guides students through a series of steps that help students understand ratios through practice and feedback on calculating prices of vegetables from various vendors (Figure 2). This paper presents first steps to understand how log data from the WISEngineering system can provide insight into what kinds of design processes students engage in

However, Yarnell et al. [4] did find thatadaptivity at an individual lesson or learning object level yielded higher student outcomes thanthose with adaptivity at a macro level.The purpose of this study was to examine student learning, behavioral engagement, and studentperception when an adaptive learning module is introduced. The following questions guided thisstudy: (i) Which adaptive learning content do students access to increase their learning?

When classroominstruction is augmented with an out-of-class experience that provides a defining hands-onexperience – for many perhaps their first – the classroom experience itself also takes on a newaura of reality and relativity.

However, as students transition to undergraduate programs, there isoften a lack of continuity in the teaching methods used, leading to challenges inunderstanding and applying the lessons taught, aside from continuing in the discipline.Therefore, there is a need to seek out a teaching methodology that can stimulate themotivation of learners and further learners’ zeal in the chosen field.Experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP) is a hands-on learner-centered teaching technique thatemploys inexpensive, portable instruments
