It will require more input fromteachers to review the students written and oral presentations looking for the elements ofscientific inquiry in the students work: ability to generate questions, design and conductscientific investigations, formulate models, analyze alternatives and communicate anddefend results. Several suggestions, paraphrased from MWM literature7, for assessmentfollow:Inquiry-based assessment: Seek to

., remembering, understanding, and applying). Inclass, the lecture-discussion format is open-ended, problem-based, and focused on mid-levelBlooms’ taxonomy (i.e., analyzing and evaluating). As part of modified mastery learning,students may complete optional assignments to earn academic credit that counts towards a gradeof “B” or “A”. These optional assessments are focused on high-level Bloom’s taxonomy (i.e.,creating). Enrollment in this course is optional to complete degree requirements for an existingmaster’s degree in environmental engineering, and the course is open to graduate students inCBE as well as graduate students from the University of Missouri System, including studentsfrom the Sinclair School of Nursing at Mizzou.Course content.

collection, the study employed a purposivesampling approach. This method, known as judgmental sampling, entails selecting individualsfor the sample based on the researcher’s discretion regarding their perceived usefulness orrepresentativeness within the population. This study employed a mixed-methods sequentialexplanatory design to collect and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data from students.The administered survey included a demographic section followed by four questions. The firstquestion intended to identify whether students felt motivated to learn. The second question aimedto understand why students attended their academic institution. This question utilized the AMS,which consists of 28 comprehensive statements designed to assess
participants’ success once they matriculate into graduate school?The GradTrack Virtual mentoring program pairs 2 graduate student mentors with 4-7undergraduate students in mentoring circles with a focus on broadening participation inengineering [4]. In the 3 years of GradTrack’s existence, at least 6 seniors have been awarded theNSF GRFP and 65% of senior-level participants have matriculated into graduate programs. Aprevious assessment of the program showed that GradTrack prepares participating undergraduatestudents for the graduate application process while helping them build community [5]. Anoutstanding question is whether this increased community from GradTrack helps studentstransition to graduate school and succeed in their first semester and/or

The goal of this research is to find a connection betweenparticipation and academic achievements. The findings from our research can be utilized toestablish interventions to assist students' retention and overall academic success.II. METHODSA mix-method approach was used to assess the connection between student’s participation andoverall academic success. We conducted

This experience motivated us to become teachers and enrollin the one quarter Lead By Design class, where we worked in teams to develop (and practice)course content under the guidance of faculty. This class focused on developing and solidifying ourunderstanding of: - Active and experiential learning alongside classroom teaching methods - Non-violent communication and constructive assignment feedback - Iterative and Backwards Design as part of the engineering design cycle - Formative and Summative assessment strategiesNotably, the student-teachers were the ones dictating course content, including course learningoutcomes and teaching strategies.

These micro-moments are pivotal in engaging students in entrepreneurial thinking, such as recognizingopportunities, assessing impacts (Blake Hylton et al. 2020), and applying economic reasoning(Wang 2017) within the scope of engineering challenges. For example, through the analysis ofcase studies, students explore engineering solutions that faltered due to insufficient marketunderstanding, emphasizing the importance of combining robust technical skills with anuanced grasp of

Therefore,no significant differences between vocabulary and concept multiple choice questions wasobserved for two metrics, namely percent correct and attempt before correct.Applying the DP score metric found small differences between concept and vocabularyquestions. Specifically, 93% of vocabulary questions had a DP score of 0 with the rest scoring 1(6%) or 2 (1%). For concept questions, 89% of questions had a DP score of 0, 9% score of 1, and1% score of 2. Therefore, despite having only three choices for concept questions, the 10-11% ofquestion registering a DP score of 1 or 2 is measurably higher than vocabulary or in-chapterquestions, 7% and 1%, respectively. Overall, including attempts data to assess multiple choicequestions with

Curriculum Development: The instructors participated in a comprehensive series of sixworkshops as part of the RET program. Given that a majority of the participants held master'sdegrees in education, the primary goal of these workshops was to refresh their knowledge ofselected curriculum design models and enhance their proficiency in evidence-based teachingtechniques. These workshops encompassed a wide range of educational topics, incorporatingtheories of blended learning, formative assessment strategies, active learning methods, and theeffective integration of technology into teaching practices. Teachers had the

This paper explores learningoutcomes in an existing course within this curriculum (i.e., “Engineering for Human Rights”)by analyzing original exit survey data from enrolled students. Our survey instrument integratedNew Ecological Paradigm (NEP) statements to assess variation in perceptions of the usefulnessof the course content as it relates to sustainability. The findings of this study have implicationsand suggestions for designing interdisciplinary curricula that integrate engineering,sustainability, and human rights in engineering education.Keywords – Human Rights framework
vulnerable, it is of utmost importance to develop and nurture a culture of trust andcomradery to protect the participants, and for sustainability of the project. We organized alistening party with a bonus live story from an enthused participant. In addition, we providedStory@Rose swag to students who participated, because we believe that this practice buildscommunity and honors the participants.MethodsWe hypothesized that we could support students’ sense of belonging and identity as scientistsand engineers by providing storytelling opportunities. To test our hypothesis, we put a process inplace for developing a student story-driven podcast. We assessed how recording stories impactedstudents’ views of their identities and their feedback on the

Through expert lectures and arobust project, students were introduced to technology commercialization and the entrepreneurialmindset, skills that aid in the development of career-ready and innovative engineers. Studentsapplied these concepts through a laboratory-based design project by participating in a productpitch competition to justify the value of their design to a panel of experts in the field whoexemplified potential investors. To measure outcomes, we assessed students’ self-reportedexpertise in various components of these disciplines through surveys administered at multiplepoints throughout the modules and gathered anonymous feedback through end-of-semestercourse
interviews included topics such asprofessional history, including career backgrounds; details of the classes they teach, including size,format, structure, and support; course design considerations; assessment practices; goals andchallenges for students; professional development experiences, especially around teaching andlearning; and impressions of faculty incentive structures, especially tenure and promotion, whereapplicable. Student interviews included topics such as motivation for choosing the major; studentlearning goals, including both skills and perspectives; student beliefs about their instructors’ goalsand priorities; experiences with assessment; and alignment between instruction and learning goals.The interviewer asked follow-up questions

These stages are anchored in established educational theories, such as theexperiential learning framework and Bloom's taxonomy, providing a grounded approach tounderstanding and implementing TEE. We illustrate the utility of this definition with examplesfrom our engineering program, showing how it can guide the assessment and enhancement ofcourse offerings to better equip students with the practical skills and knowledge they need.Furthermore, we discuss how engineering programs and their leaders can use our TEEframework to align their curricula with the demands of emerging technologies and markettrends, ensuring that graduates are prepared for the future of the industry.

for Project #1.Course ImplementationCIVE 202 was taught for the first time in Spring 2024. In Omaha, class consisted of one section withthirteen students and in Lincoln, class consisted of a combined lecture and two lab sections with a total of28 students. Each location had one graduate teaching assistant who primarily assisted with debuggingerrors and helping answer questions during working time in the lab sections. The course spanned a 16-week semester, with three weeks allocated for each project and no final exam or assessment beyond thelast project.To review implementation progress, both instructors met weekly to discuss how the previous week wasreceived by students and to prepare and plan for subsequent week activities.

Pro-op instructors serve primarily as mentors while helpingstudents build and demonstrate professional competencies. Student-designed professionalportfolios (Pro-folios) serve to build their sense of belonging as an engineer and benefit them bymaking it easier to demonstrate, assess, recognize, and build on their Pro-ABCs in future workand enable better performance in competitive job and promotion interviews.For context, our mid-size ME department is situated in Athens Ohio, a rural area with limitedlocal industry.

These equation sheets are made up by the professor at times, atother times students have the option to make up their own, and some instructors use a hybridapproach where they supply some information but allow students to make up their own equationsheets as well.Equation sheets appear as a topic, in passing, in many different papers, although they may not bethe primary focus of those papers, and in fact may be mentioned very briefly (e.g., [1], [2], [3],[4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]). One work mentioned them as not being allowed on aspecific assessment [13], and a few mentioned specific lengths or

To assess the effectiveness of these techniques, we introduce threegame scenes within our study with beams under tension, compression, bending, and torsion.Preliminary results from an early pilot user study show the promise of the proposed platformin inducing a sense of stiffness. The proposed application provides a promising pathway forimmersive experiential learning of engineering concepts that would otherwise requireexpensive laboratory experiments.IntroductionStructural mechanics involves studying members' force and displacement distribution underdifferent
the rest of the material. The design of the new coursehad four goals. First, it would motivate mathematical content with real world problems. Second,students would learn to not only solve but construct differential equations that model physicalsituations. Third, the course would connect analytic, numerical, and graphical representationsand solution methods. Finally, students would utilize discussion and argumentation in problemsolving to discover content that had traditionally been presented by an instructor. To assess theimpact of the IODE curriculum, we pose the following research questions: 1. How does the IODE curriculum impact student performance? 2. How does the IODE curriculum impact students’ views about mathematics
