Moreover, since tutorsonly had student performance on a major exam that generally covered one-third of the course,each tutor needed to take additional time in tutoring sessions to identify individual studentweaknesses before actual tutoring could commence.To address these issues and improve student performance, the traditional lecture, recitation andexam physics course was split into two separate courses: a traditional lecture, recitation andexam (LRE) course as “control” and an “experimental” mastery-based, self-paced (MSP) coursethat drew on elements of Bloom’s Learning for Mastery (LFM) model and Keller’s PersonalizedSystem of Instruction (PSI) model.

Future work will address these questions.IntroductionSpatial-visualization skills (SVS) are known to be critically important to success and retention inSTEM fields. At the same time, these skills are often learned through life experiences such asplaying sports, or playing with certain toys, rather than being taught explicitly in a formal setting[1-4]. Due to this reliance on life experience, the levels of spatial skills displayed by women andunderrepresented groups are typically lower than that of other student populations. Importantlyhowever, spatial skills can be learned and improved with appropriate training.One of the most

United States Military AcademyINTRODUCTION:Nuclear engineering students have many expectations of them upon graduation; primary among thoseexpectations is to be technically proficient—it is hard to be successful without this trait. Understandingthat success for engineers comes in many forms, it often follows those that are able to apply theirtechnical skills in concert with a strong foundation in other skills that are fundamental to practicing theirprofession. “The practice of engineering involves significant interaction with subjects that fall outsidethose traditionally associated with engineering.” 1 For this reason it is appropriate that educators affordstudents the means to gain “the knowledge and skills that are fundamental to the practice

This result suggests two possibilities: (1) some students hadlimited ability or desire to write a complete lab report; or (2) the problem was not overlycomplex so that a brute force (i.e., single level, no modules) or guess-and-check design could bemade to work. Writing abilities are certainly a concern with engineers in general [23] and manyan engineering educator has seen an engineering student shortcut a more methodical designprocess when falling victim to procrastination or heavy workload.Moving further up Bloom's taxonomy, significant differences between remote and traditionaloffering emerged once

Because veterans are more likely to be older, first generation college students, disabled,African-American, or Latino, they also can serve to diversify undergraduate engineeringprograms.In this paper, we explore three research questions: 1) What reasons did student veterans inengineering (SVEs) give for first enlisting in the Navy or Marine Corps? 2) What factorsinfluenced their job placement in the service? 3) How does military service influence theirdecision to later major in engineering?

The7E plan consists of 7 sequential stages in teaching and learning that are elicit, engage, explore,explain, elaborate, evaluate, and extend [3]. The 7E model is often used as a conceptual changemodel. This model seems to be a complete and comprehensive teaching tool that initiates witheliciting the interests of the learners and ends up at the future extension of the concepts, and thestages can also be repeated in cyclic order.
