As such, evolutionarytechniques may not only benefit individual students, but also unveil insights motivating furthereducational research. We investigate EvoParsons to answer the following two researchquestions; • Research Question 1 (RQ1 ): Does EvoParsons evolve relevant misconceptions 18 that classify student’s errors?

Journalists investigating the targeted harassment of faculty have identified keyportals like Campus Reform as sources for internet trolls to identify academics to harass [3].When articles targeting faculty gather steam through sharing and republication in multiple mediaoutlets, harassment can intensify in both frequency and severity of threat to the individual andthe campus.This targeted harassment is of concern to the ASEE scholarly community not only because itthreatens members of our community but also because it may have a “chilling” effect on researchand innovation in

Through faculty and staff guidance and a plethora of datafrom the previous team's endeavors, much progress is expected by April 2020. The ultimate goalof this project is to develop an innovative approach to deepen the understanding of aircraftdesign through the use of the flight simulator. With this technology, students can producerealistic motions of flight through virtual reality and six degrees of freedom of a Stewartplatform with revolute joints.

Introducing children to valuable STEM experiences, startingat a young age, has been shown to improve science literacy, promote critical thinking,develop problem solvers, and empower the next generation of innovators, creating newoutcomes that strengthen the economy [1]. Not all countries, however, acknowledge the need for STEM education. For example,although Kuwait, a small country in western Asia, ranks 57th (of 189 countries) on theHuman Development Index (HDI), with a score of 0.808 (or very high human development),the country ranks among the lowest in human development for Arabic/Persian Gulf countries[2].

The teams in cohorts 2 and 3 were asked tofirst make their choices regarding which kinds of algae to grow, and they were encouraged toindividually explore many options and factors prior to choosing. In the case of cohort 2, theyconsidered few strains and few factors, and quickly affirmed their agreement with one another,and this is reflected in Table 3. In contrast, the team in cohort 3 discussed a wide range of algae(including some less common strains, referred to in shorthand by students as broni and groni) andfactors.

. While industry partnerships havelong been a central part of engineering and technological education through programssuch as co-op and capstone design, community partnerships – and partnerships aimed atsocial transformation – have not been central. In fact, they challenge some of thedominant approaches to engineering education, namely, strong emphases ontechnological innovation and institutional expertise as well as client- and problem-basedapproaches to partnerships [6]. As a result, in many research university-communitypartnerships, the university functions as the source of expert knowledge that seekscommunity partnerships for the purpose of “technology transfer.” However, GeorgiaTech and a growing number of leading universities are changing
