Paper ID #43198Board 334: Motivation Loss in Math: Contributing Factors and ConsequencesDr. Chris S. Hulleman, University of Virginia Chris S. Hulleman is a professor of education and public policy at the University of Virginia. He is also the founder and director of the Motivate Lab, which collaborates with educational practitioners to help ameliorate systemic racism and inequality. His team develops and tests changes in educational practice that support the motivation of students from historically marginalized backgrounds in education. He received his BA from Central College (Iowa) in 1993 and his PhD in social and
best practices, developing safety checklists and operating protocols, and providingsignificant safety documentation. Formal safety components were added to a capstone designproject for electrical and computer engineering undergraduates in which an R2D2-like robot wasdesigned and built. The work provides project examples, lessons learned, and student feedbackrelated to the safety treatment.IntroductionFundamental aspects of engineering design include realistic safety constraints and protocols andthe professional responsibility to make decisions consistent with the safety of engineers,operators, and the public. An accreditation outcome in engineering education is design in whichsafety is an important consideration [1]. Professional codes of

for Engineering Education, 2019 Developing a Studio Model Computer Curriculum for First Year Undergraduate StudentsAbstractThis paper describes what was learned while implementing a reinvented undergraduate computertechnology curriculum during the first two years of its rollout. The paper includes the activitiesof the freshman cohorts of computer students who were the first to experience the curriculumredesign.Perhaps the biggest paradigm shift in the new curriculum was the adoption of the studio model ofinstruction. Borrowed from other traditions such as art and architecture, the studio provides ahands-on approach to learning that is ideal for computing students; particularly for the largepercentage of
composites, including two textbooks, ”Fiber Reinforced Composites: Materials, Manufacturing and Design” and ”Processing of Polymer Matrix Composites”.

Testing lab at Missouri S&T, teaches mechanics of materials and develops digital educational resources for the engineering students. He had the opportunity of leading several scientific and industrial research projects and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. Over the span of his career, Dr. Libre authored and co-authored 3 chapter books, 17 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 60 conference papers. He has advised and co-advised 8 gradu- ate students and mentored over 30 undergraduate students. He has collaborated with scholars from several countries, including Iran, China, Slovenia, Canada, and the US. He also served as a reviewer for 6 journals and a committee member of 5 conferences. He is the
successful program and institution.ConclusionAcademic institutions provide such a diverse set of circumstances for entering educators, that a“one size fits all” solution is not realistic. However, numerous articles in the literature indicatethat institutions that have a mentoring program in place experience a higher rate of facultyperformance and satisfaction. The underlying benefit to the teaching faculty of having anofficial mentoring program is that it presents to the new faculty the image that the system has agenuine interest in supporting and nurturing them. The attitude of “sink or swim” is notacceptable if the goal is to recruit and retain the best teaching faculty for engineering andengineering technology.References1. Bova, B
