. NJIT has found that an integrated approach to address issuesof communication skills, pedagogical techniques, and cultural issues has served well to enhancethe services provided to faculty, staff, and most importantly to undergraduate students.NJIT had a total Fall 2006 enrollment of 8, 209 students, with 433 doctoral students and 2,396master's students. Half of all master's students are full-time. About 85% of the doctoralstudents are full-time with a large percentage of those international students. In any given year,about 180-200 graduate students, almost all doctoral, will serve as Teaching Assistants.Anywhere from 20 to 40 new TAs with international backgrounds may begin their service each

The author wished to understandany flaws in the flipped classroom implementation and determine if the process was in any waydetrimental to the learning experience. As the results demonstrate, students were initiallyhesitant but open-minded about the flipped classroom experience, and in the end showed anoticeable appreciation for the modified course layout.Choosing the Flipped ClassroomPrior to the study, the author participated in a faculty learning community (FLC) that researchedthe

large quantitiesof new proposals which will make the model much more interesting and hopefully valuable asthe numbers get larger.Adding Workload ConsiderationsThe simple model discussed above considers only total funding. The ability to actually carry outthe proposed research work will be dependent on the ability to free up the resources necessaryfor the project. Faculty and graduate student time being the most immediate concern, we addthese to the model next. The full time equivalent (FTE) effort required for research projects isoften not directly correlated to the total amount of funding. Grant proposals can containsignificant capital equipment items, subcontracts, indirect cost, cost-share and other items. So itis possible to have very large

student additional XP (effectively extra credit), butalso another resource, called Reputation. While reputation did not affect a student’s gradedirectly, by working collectively with other students in their guild, students could poolReputation to effectively ‘win’ the game. In this context, the guild with the most reputation at theend of the semester was allowed to choose from several rewards (dinner out with the faculty, theability to choose an experiment the following semester, a small boost to one of their best grades,etc.). Optional tasks were ones that the instructors thought would benefit the students, but inpractice, without incentivization, few students attempted. Examples include peer evaluation oftheir work, seeking out and using

normativedifferences across departments concerning how much students were expected to be self-directed.For example, with the largest number of students, electrical engineering faculty need students tobe more self-directed while faculty in departments with far lower student: faculty ratios couldafford to engage in more “hand-holding.” Obviously, students who themselves prefer to be self-directed may find “hand-holding” stifling, while those who need more assistance—such as thosewho lack adequate preparation for a new course of study—will feel that their advisor isinadequate when they are expected to be more self-sufficient.Mentors’ assessments of the Bridge Program’s level of support to them—for those with studentsin cohort one and/or two—differed greatly

Citing the work of Alicia Dowd et al. at the Center for UrbanEducation at the University of Southern California, the NAE report (2012) goes on to state thattransfer assistance in the form of scholarships, the availability of mentoring, and the “culture,values, and beliefs of faculty” increase the number of community college students transferring tofour-year STEM degree programs. A number of additional issues critical in increasing STEMtransfer rates are suggested by the report, including the transparency of information about STEMcareer paths and the availability of effective articulation agreements. The support provided tostudents is especially critical in states like New Mexico, where students face a number ofeducational and economic challenges
