skills by providing web-based trainingmodules and Skype meetings.I. Introduction The math performance of US high-school students was ranked 38th out of out of 71 countriesin the most Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2015 [1]. In addition, areport from President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology shows that US wouldhave one million deficits in technical workers in STEM fields if the STEM education is notimproved in the next decade [2]. Therefore, it is urgent for US educators to create new approachesto attract more high-school students in the STEM fields, especially in math, which deals withchallenging equation and symbolic operations. One way to address this issue is providinginteresting modeling projects

Problem’scomplexity [21] is indicated by: (1) the number of issues, functions, or variables involved in theproblem; and (2) the level of uncertainty about which concepts, rules, and principles that arenecessary to solve the problem.

This work in progress focused on establishing preliminary relationships within motivationand identity respectively. Ultimately, we seek to assess whether these constructs are sufficientlycorrelated that one may be used as a valid and reliable means of measuring the other. Thus, ourdata analysis will include evaluating criterion-related validity (both predictive and concurrent)[10]. If such a relationship exists, it could support the usefulness of one construct in predictingthe other.

For this project, we worked within a qualitative research paradigm to explore theelements of the collaboration. Data collection thus far for the project was conducted through twomethods: document analysis and open-ended survey.

Weworry that assessing students according to how a professor perceives their “enthusiasm” canunintentionally exclude students who differ from the professor, such as by gender, race, class, orculture. Second, members of the two labs tell stories about failure to undergraduates in differentways, which serve as powerful modes of socialization. Discourse styles as reflected incommunities’ storytelling may influence undergraduates’ sense of belonging.

programs create trackswhich align the educational focus with faculty research interests; however, they further add tocurricular rigidity, as they are often composed of courses largely outside of our department.When speaking with peer institutions, it became clear that many institutions experience thesechallenges, and in particular, the debate over the benefit of technical tracks appears to beongoing. Beyond challenges to students, technical tracks present difficulties for administrators,as maintaining relevance to modern bioengineering practice requires continual assessment andforecasting due to the rapid changes in the field and can never comprehensively satisfy alltechnical needs in bioengineering industries.
