the course.IntroductionAt the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, most higher education institutions realizedthat face-to-face learning was suddenly untenable and unreliable causing them to consider up tofifteen alternative modes of instruction and content delivery for their students over the remainderof the 2020-2021 academic year [1]. One appealing and flexible alternative is known as hybridflexible, or the Hyflex course format.Hyflex is an instructional format that combines face-to-face and online learning. This approachwas first developed in 2005 at San Francisco State University [2]. In this model of learning, everyclass session and learning activity that is offered face-to-face in a campus classroom is alsooffered

In few cases in the last few years, those who did the calculus challenge in their projects and extracurricular activities did well and claimed more in-depth learning. Since they did it because they liked it, they generally did better in the process and found more meaning and belonging to the material.References[1]. R. M. Felder, “Rethink

The new format for CS1, utilizing a best practices approach, alsoconsists of four credits and meets twice a week. However, in this format, classroom meetinghours have doubled to three hours per session, with faculty and UTAs present. This adjustmentaims to provide additional teaching support for faculty and extra classroom time for students.UTAs started being used in Fall 2021, first in Programming 1 (CS1).

In this program, students are exposed to the use of a computer to effectivelyprogram a useful tool for public safety. “The use of digital tools to test and compare solutions toan engineering design problem” [2] is demonstrated as students use Python coding to program thetraffic lights and as the instructor is able to provide real-time feedback to the students in a remoteenvironment.In our course, students were provided technical documents and were instructed on how to bestfind information in them in order to complete

This focus is appropriate for the specific material ofthe course, but it misses how and why one gets to the point where the course material is needed.It also misses more general aspects of engineering and technology. Courses with project workmove beyond this to some degree, but are unlikely to succeed in covering some facets oftechnological and engineering literacy (TEL).Many approaches have been documented for teaching technological and engineering literacy [4,5].

The recruited studentpool and response rates for Year 1 and 2 are depicted in Table 2. The “participated” and responserate is calculated as the number of students that answer the consent and age >18 years oldquestion as “Yes” and then answer at least one follow up survey question.

This push for diversity includes enrolling students with increasingly distinctbackgrounds, cultures, prior training, learning styles, and goals. However, simply enrolling amore diverse student body does not guarantee a diverse set of graduates [1]. Instead, to provideequitable instruction to all students, universities must not only focus on academic factors toimprove achievement gaps, but also socioemotional aspects that will encourage students to persistwithin their academic track, as posited by the heads-and-hearts hypothesis [2]. In this context,equity is

Additionally, onlythe academic dimension of self-concept, based on the hierarchical model [1], is considered. Self-concept is a general conception of one’s abilities, wherein a global self-concept (e.g.: I am agood human being) is considered self-esteem [37]. Domain specificity, in reference to thehierarchical model of self-concept discussed above, gets streamlined based on the activities anindividual is involved in on a regular basis.

This usually took the form of a context that emulated the real world such as theamount of tile needed to floor a room or finding out how fast Usain Bolt runs. It is impossible forevery context to appeal to every student, but having different contexts is more likely to engagestudents in a problem they would have otherwise had no interest in.

IntroductionThe experiences accumulated by students during their first year in college have a lastingimpact on the rest of their academic lives [1]. The sense of career and institutional belonging,as well as the self-efficacy beliefs of students, have been identified as crucial factors for theirpersistence and success [2] [3]. We argue that both these factors are affected by the awarenessfirst-year students have about their chosen field of study. This is particularly true forinstitutions admitting students into a specific major since their first college year.An assessment of the reasons reported by first- and second-year students in the host institutionfor choosing an engineering major

The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

with low education achievement according to U.S. Census data[1]. As a result, students entering STEM programs have a low-level mathematical preparationand a low awareness of the relationship between mathematics and their respective STEMdisciplines. The four-course sequence of precalculus and single variable calculus is a serioushurdle for students to succeed in their respective STEM majors. Pre-grant assessment datashowed consistent low grades in this course sequence. Additionally, many students enteringCSUB place at the precalculus level and many students repeat one or more courses in thesequence, which delays their progress in their STEM majors.The majority of students taking the precalculus and calculus courses are STEM majors ratherthan
