They spend four hours examining each career option, with no more thantwelve girls in each group. The activities range from flying an airplane to designing a pop bottlerocket. The program culminates with an award ceremony where friends and family have anopportunity to see what the girls have accomplished over the weekend.The cost of the camp is about $150 per girl, of which the girls pay $25. The rest of the fundshave been raised from donations and grants. Some companies have donated materials, such asairplanes and instructors. Others have sponsored daughters

Scoring mechanisms thus play a role both in establishingstudent expectations and indicating what knowledge or skills are valued in the context of acourse. The Bucknell RED has done preliminary experiments that modify grading structures toprovide additional feedback on capabilities that are associated both with student-desiredfunctionings and solving convergent problems. In the trial courses students received separatefeedback on how they are progressing on these capabilities as well as grades on exams,homework, etc. The initial indicators are that while this feedback provides valuable feedback tostudents on

We evaluated the students’ proficiency based on the total time they spent engaging withthe material, their performance on assessments, the virtual points they earned as a team, theirfeedback, their perception of SEP-CyLE, and the quality of the material and instruction. Overall,the results show that in both years, students spent the most time learning the LO content; however,on average, the students spent twice the amount of time on the LO recorded assessment whencompared to the LO practice

absent students when trying to complete the associated homework often indicated they had not effectively processed the posted material. Additionally, as the guest lectures are the primary mechanism for introducing the engineering disciplines, poor attendance meant that this course goal was not being met. In the fall of 2022, the instructors added a weekly quiz administered through the course management system based on each guest presentation. The goal was to ask a few very basic questions that were clearly answered during the presentation. However, some presentations did not lend themselves well to this style of assessment. Further, this shifted the student focus to identifying potential topics for quiz
