Elements of authenticassessments that promote the transfer of KSAs have been theorized [7] but require furtherexamination. Simulation-based learning has been applied to enhance education of variousdisciplines and prepare students to undertake critical decisions, especially in engineering [8]– [10]. As a form of experiential learning, engineering simulations further provides a widerange of opportunities to practice complex skills in higher education to facilitate effectivelearning [11]. Like authentic assessments, simulations have the potential to enhance thetransfer of learning by providing students opportunities to explore real-life conditions and testtheir ideas

AC 2012-3445: CHANGING ENGINEERING ETHICS EDUCATION: UN-DERSTANDING ILL-STRUCTURED PROBLEMS THROUGH ARGUMENTVISUALIZATION IN COLLABORATIVE LEARNINGProf. Michael H.G. Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the

to help students who have expressedinterest in pursuing engineering and other STEM majors but placed low in the sequence of mathcourses.The Summer Math Jam was developed with the following program goals: 1. Help students progress faster through Cañada’s math sequence to enable them to transfer to a 4-year university earlier or to complete an associate’s degree earlier. 2. Increase students’ awareness of the tools, skills, and resources they need to be successful college students. 3. Develop a community of learners among program participants.Both the 2009 and the 2010 Summer Math Jams were held from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Mondaythrough Thursday during a two-week period that coincided with Cañada College’s break betweenthe end
Creating Accelerated Educational Pathways for Underprepared STEM Students through an Intensive Math Placement Test Review ProgramAmelito Enriquez, Denise Hum, Christine Woo, Brandon Price, Danni Redding Lapuz, and Anna Camacho Cañada College, Redwood City, CAAbstractA majority of California community college students enter college with low levels of preparationfor college-level work, especially in math. For students interested in pursuing science orengineering degrees, this may mean up to four or five years of coursework before they areeligible to apply for transfer to a four-year institution. As a result, many of them drop out orchange
makes itchallenging to offer meaningful data science education to those who have limited, or no,programming background, such as K-12 students or non-computing majors at the college level. Inthis paper, we describe our experience in offering two types of hands-on assignments in anentry-level data science course for non-computing majors at the Rochester Institute ofTechnology. In the first assignment type, students were required to write Python code with thesupport of sample code given through in-class demos, to perform various data science tasks. Thisallows instructors to teach students computational thinking and coding skills. In the second typeof assignment, students were required to perform in-depth data manipulation and analysis taskson a

Elementary School Girls in STEM Fields Through Outreach ActivitiesAbstractDespite the known value of a diverse STEM workforce, women and minorities continue to beunder-represented in STEM fields. Engineering undergraduate degrees, in particular, are awardedto women and minority engineering students in North America at a lower rate compared to theirmale counterparts. Research has shown that low self-confidence in learning math and sciencesubjects starts at a young age in girls and minority students, often in the early years of elementaryschool, and this ultimately leads to low interest and enrollment in STEM undergraduate programs.In an attempt to combat negative stereotypes about the capabilities of girls and minorities inSTEM

Applications such as Monte Carlo localization andparticle filters have been realized with this robotics system.Computer science researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and CMU’s RoboticsAcademy actively support multi-robot technology education through tutorials, design challenges,programming examples, instructional videos, and teachers’ resources.5 One of the goals is topromote interest in computer science and STEM careers among a K-12
engineering students through community building (Evaluation) AbstractOver the past twelve years, the ESTEEM program, funded by the NSF S-STEM, at University ofCalifornia Santa Barbara (UCSB) has supported 161 low-income undergraduate students inengineering. This paper emphasizes the students’ changing needs and what they foundsupportive over time with a special focus on the shifting needs for community building before,during, and after COVID-19 pandemic remote learning. Without additional support, low-incomeengineering students, who often reflect additional intersecting minoritized identities and are morelikely to be the first in their family to attend college, leave the field at
this case study we found most respondents easily volunteered thedistinction between events that were planned for as an element of the partnership and activities inwhich they were being opportunistic, or even inspired, to go beyond the bounds of what wasplanned as part of the partnership, and engaged in new or qualitatively different activities. It isthis later set of activities that we capture as spillovers.The conceptualization of a partnership as a relational event provides a basis for exploring threedifferent dimensions of spillover effects. The first type of spillover is expanded connectivity.This can be observed through any new connections or interactions between partner organizationsin areas that are outside of those originally specified
