for undergraduate, peer teaching assistants (peer-TAs or PTAs) working inengineering courses. The employment of PTAs has become more common in large enrollmentengineering courses to increase student-to-instructor interactions. PTAs might be able to rely ontheir own experiences in the classroom, but learning experiences are not enough to translate toeffective teaching. Therefore, it is essential to provide PTAs with training to guide and maximizetheir positive impact on students and their learning. This review addresses the research questionHow are PTAs trained to work in engineering classrooms? More discretely, (1) How are PTAtraining programs structured? (2) What skills or lessons are taught and prioritized? and (3) Howis effective training

Assessing the degree and dichotomy of depression may bedifficult for domain specific educators to describe due to a lack of background in assessingdepression, and as such will not be the focus of the present study.What can be enabled however, is to provide opportunities for enhancing the social network ofour programming, to build community, and to allow students to find focal points to enrich theirsense of belonging.

During this process, trendsare noted and inferences with policy implications are made. These findings are thenincorporated back into the system as feedback so that the engineering programs in the collegemay continuously strive to improve their programs in meaningful ways.

Of the College of Engineeringstudents in 2018, 2019, and 2020, only 41.7%, 42.9%, and 43.3% had graduated at the 4-yearmark, respectively [4]. The College of Engineering’s curriculum is 8 credits higher than that ofmost undergraduate degree plans, which are usually 120 total program hours [5]. This equates toalmost 1 additional semester’s worth of courses. Put another way, that’s almost 3 more courses(one course is worth 3 credits) TAMU engineering students have to take.

This approach provides a broader view of student interest andself-efficacy in relation to cybersecurity within our program.

A control groupwould serve as a measure of no treatment nor exposure to new practices – just business as usual.Our assumption is that a pre-PT problem solving discussion assessment serves the same purposeas a post-assessment of a control group. That is, the students in the program are sophomore, junior,and senior undergraduates, who already bring to the study an established approach to ill-structuredproblems that has been developed over their academic careers thus far. We therefore treat the pre-PT problem solving discussion data as the control group baseline for

Do we still consider a course outcome successfulif a subset of students fail to achieve it (and if so, failure of how large of a subset is acceptable?)The simplest approach to assembling quantitative data into some sort of a “group indicatormetric” is to use the arithmetic mean of student grades from a particular graded event (or set ofgraded events) to assess an outcome. For example, a program could declare that a mean ofgreater than 80% on a graded event indicates that the group has met or exceeded the standard forthe course outcome which it supports.

This also suggests that it may be desirable to the extentpossible to design indicators that don’t attempt to measure large numbers of outcomes. This isanalogous to using a single grade to assess outcomes.An observation is that the Exams, which also measured multiple outcomes, did not show anydivergences. This may be due to a small sample size. CS409 did not have a final exam.
