. Since students will go wherethey feel supported, the values of counter-spaces should permeate all spaces within colleges ofengineering and PWIs. Thus institutional workshops and events must reflect the values of allstudents. Administrators might create innovative spaces to convey novel professionaldevelopment skills that, although originally designed for students of color, would benefit theentire engineering student body of a given institution.To create environments that respect and value students of color, administrators must incorporatestructured training for faculty and staff to ensure such inclusivity of all people across theinstitution. Such training will indicate the university’s willingness to acknowledge and valuepersons of color. It

However, the odds appear tobe stacked against the retention of women in the engineering workplace because they remainsuch a minority. In fact, some studies have suggested that the disproportionately high exit

Summary and ConclusionsWhat the majority of faculty who shared in this paper have found is that the effort is worth thetime but as with any classroom pedagogy the “devil is in the details.” One can conclude thatimplementation is paramount to control final results of a classroom innovation. Of the threeinstructors who were new to the muddy point approach the faculty who was able to have thehighest level of student participation and was also able to reflect to the highest level saw thegreatest change in student motivations and possibly learning. The same trend is reflected in theother two faculty: mid-level participation yielded mid-level results and lower participation sawthe least return on investment. Of

MOOCs typically range in size from a fewthousand to over one hundred thousand participants, with many courses having many tens ofthousands of participants [7]. There have been a few large studies of MOOC participation rates[7-10]. In a typical MOOC, most participants already possess at least a Bachelor’s degree andtake MOOCs to enhance job skills or intellectual curiosity. Completion rates (fraction of enrolledparticipants who pass the course) of less than 10% are common.MOOCs can be quite costly to develop – Hollands and Tirthali (2014) estimate the cost of atypical MOOC at $39,000 to $325,000.

These four teaching strategiesemployed through the EDM semester are aimed at preparing students to work cohesively andethically as part of a design unit, while encouraging creativity and professionalism. In addition tothis, teams were asked to identify specialties and expertise topics after the first half of team projectpresentations were completed.

This helps them complete the design cycle byanalyzing the performance of the prototype.Their design prototypes are assessed based on a set of criteria: ability of each instrument toproduce multiple tones; overall quality of the track (a different weighting factor is used for eachsong based on its level of difficulty); tone quality produced by instruments (based on maximumpercent deviation from theoretical fundamental frequencies for high/low notes for eachinstrument); creativity and innovation; cost
