We applied codes to NPM turnswithin the transcript; a turn is a block of text having one or more sentences/phrases followed by aresponse from the student avatar. The first two authors, Lottero-Perdue and Malladi, coded fourof the transcripts together and each coded four transcripts independently. We reviewed oneanother’s independent coding, met to reconcile differences, developed emergent codes asnecessary to describe the data, and then returned to the double-coded transcripts to ensureconsistency in coding across all the transcripts.The present study discusses results from analysis of the 12 transcripts of

Thesecourses have taken the COE curricula back to the fundamentals of engineering where studentslearn by testing and experiencing the laws of physics with their own hands. These experiencesare aimed to show students some of the problems facing engineers in industry and offer reasonsfor the abundance of mathematics and science with which they are faced 18. These coursesintroduce the students to the concept of working in a team environment and promote thestudents’ feeling that they are part of the College 9,10. The utilization of student or faculty to serve as mentors for freshmen has also becomemore numerous in recent years. Whether the mentors are students or faculty, they

reliability. Yet, we were concerned about the consistency of codingacross coders. To address concerns about inter-coder reliability, we developed a process thatcombines independent coding with collaborative evaluation and recoding. Teams of three to fourundergraduate students, under the supervision of Seron, Silbey and a graduate student, codeddiary entries by semester. In addition to each student‟s weekly allocation of diaries to be coded,each member of the team coded one, common diary entry. At weekly team meetings, eachassistant reported his or her codes for the commonly coded diary entry. This process provided anopportunity to discuss interpretations of codes and to examine why a specific code was, or wasnot, used on that entry by any member of

degrees awarded in STEM disciplines, only half of those bachelor’s degrees wereawarded in the hard sciences4. With a lower percentage of students showing interest and a lowerpercentage of those declaring STEM disciplines completing a degree in their intended field, theoutlook for increased percentages of STEM students entering the workforce is not promising.Institutions of higher education are being held more accountable by industry, government, andinstitutional leaders5-8. With the shrinking number of students interested in engineering and otherSTEM disciplines, institutions of higher education must attract and retain more students in thesedisciplines in order to increase the number of graduates. To do so, it is critical to devisestrategies that

An 80% design is wrong in industry, so accepting that as a final product sets adangerous precedent for the student.2.4 Assessment by Benchmark Events A danger in teaching is the introduction of new requirements that have negligible effects.The desire to innovate is, in itself, admirable. However, an honest evaluation of one’s effortsmust occur at some point to avoid burdening students unnecessarily. Given the heavy workloadexpected of students at the United States Military Academy, this was of prime concern to theinstructors in CE364. The efficacy of the problem set was therefore measured through
