forensics investigation technologies and procedures through interactive games [6, 7]. Supportedand funded in part by the National Science Foundation under the award DUE-1400567, a modular gameframework in both Windows and browser-based platforms have been developed, along with a GUI-basedgame creator that assists in easy creation of new games [8, 9].This paper primarily focuses on assessing our project’s goals and objectives. Based on the project resultsover three years, the game modules appear to be effective in teaching the processes of digital forensics,while the GUI-based game creator allows educators to create and develop new educational games. Usingthe game creator, the game approach can be extended and applied in any STEM education field. In

INTRODUCTIONThis paper presents the initial results of an orientation workshop for underrepresented and/or at-risk first year science, medical technology, mathematics, and computer science students. Nearlyfifty percent of students entering STEM fields leave their majors after the first year, with lack ofconfidence
during their firstyear of college, and apply it to their habits for critical thinking and metacognition. Thisknowledge could inform our guided practice in reflection through essays and other prompts. Ourfirst-year engineering design course at a research institution in the southeastern United Statesalready includes practice in certain professional skills, such as ethics and integrity, teamwork andtechnical communication. It is evident that reflective judgment is another important professionalskill that should be initiated early in the engineering curriculum, both for solving ill-structuredproblems and for retaining knowledge.Our research question is as follows: How well do first year students develop higher level thinking skills through
Success (ROPES):Mitigating and Expanding Students’ Learning OpportunitiesAbstractR.O.P.E.S. is a dual enrollment initiative that was funded by the U.S. Department of Educationand aligned with the New Jersey Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund II and the CRRSAAct. It aimed to create pathways to college for high school juniors in South Jersey, focusing onfive select fields that included teacher education, music business, social services, computer scienceand engineering. The program exposed students to five career pathways, employed targetedstrategies to support underrepresented communities, and integrated social and emotional learning.This paper showcases the program's objectives, student participation, impact on South Jerseystudents, and

combination of an instructor who is an expert in multimediaand user interfaces with a student who is highly motivated to learn and succeed. We were able towork together throughout the semester, trying different approaches, learning what worked anddiscarding what did not. As problems arose, we addressed them through adapting existing toolswhen possible, creating smaller fixes, and creating new tools better adapted to her needs. Wehave, in the process, learned a lot about how to make an effective aural interface.2 Structure of the CourseThe course is called Object-Oriented Programming and is meant to be the transition from simplePython and C++ programs to larger systems, where system design is important and programsspan many classes. The course

[1]The need for NSF ATE Program funding opportunities that support advancement of technicianeducation is clear. The previous ASEE paper about Mentor-Connect also documented anincreasing workforce skills gap, along with the pressing need for highly skilled engineering andrelated technicians capable of working with advanced technologies that drive the Americaneconomy. In 2017, the widening of the workforce skills gap was described as persisting and waspredicted to reach two million unfilled jobs by 2025.

Traditionally, construction managementprograms focus on teaching this topic using the fundamentals of the Occupational Safety andHealth Administration and the associated regulations and delivering this material with traditionallecture-based approaches. This study introduces a new method of hazard recognition pedagogyaimed at rapidly improving signal detection and situational awareness. Specifically, a high-fidelity augmented reality software tool built around energy-based cognitive mnemonics(SAVES) that immerses students in a representative environment was created and experimentallytested with a large class.

This would haveprovided a better understanding of how our program fits in the university and college setting. Inthe future, our new board members will be better prepared for their role and by completing anorientation process to ensure they are all operating from the same “script”. We would hope thatorientation could also be a strong team-building activity. This may have to be conducted

Students need theopportunity to show their talents and learn in ways that work for them. Then they can bepushed to learning in new ways that do not come so easily. • I encourage students to speak up when they do not understand. • I use diverse teaching activities and techniques to address a broad range of students. • I provide extra material or activities for students who lack essential background knowledge or skills.Teaching Technique Number 2 - Teaching with HospitalityAccording to Bennett (2001), we are fortunate that hospitality is

This teaching method improves teaching effectiveness ofE&M field and wave theory by helping the students better understand mathematical complexitiesthrough this readily available and reliable software tool. In addition to the theory, the studentsalso gain the design capability using these industry standard software packages, and thereforebridging the gap between theory and practice. .IntroductionThe vector property of E&M fields is at the heart of optics and E&M wave theories. At the sametime, it is also often a difficult knowledge point in an engineering curriculum. This in a majorway is because the vector nature of the fields is abstract. First of all, an E&M field is not

These days there is an increasing interest toharvest energy at a much smaller scale, for applications such as the ones found in manyembedded systems the power requirements are often small (less than 100 mW). Today,sustaining the power requirement for autonomous wireless and portable devices is an importantresearch and technical issue. However, this progress has not been able to keep up with thedevelopment of micro-processors, memory storage, and wireless technology applications. 2.

issues with, and also check with students if they have any otherquestions or difficulty. If students are making errors in their code, they are informed of those errorsand given an opportunity to fix it without penalizing. Students liked this approach since they couldput effort and get an opportunity to earn points even if they may mistake in the first attempt. Also,they would get instant feedback rather than waiting for a week when they would forget about whatcode they wrote.Survey Results The new method of lab assessment was carried out with CS1 and CS2 students for a period of twosemesters. To evaluate the results, an anonymous survey was carried out at the end of the semesterwith both the instructors and students. The student survey consisted

Learning IssuesI believe strongly that the best way for students to learn engineering is for them to solve correctlya great many problems. The use of ALN teaching/learning techniques in general, or the use of Page 3.11.4Mallard™ in particular, provides the following advantages over more traditional classroom andpaper-and-pencil teaching/learning (in rough rank order):1) Typically each student has a different set of numerical values within the problem statement.Thus, students can help each other with the solution approach and are not
