All materials submitted by the teams at the conclusion of a course milestones werescored by at least two faculty using rubrics followed by comparison of scores from raters. Inmost cases scores were in good agreement; where differences existed the instructors comparednotes and arrived at a consensus scores. The rubric scoring categories were also mapped toassessment of ABET outcomes [5].Overall the use of structured milestones and defined team roles with different

IntroductionThe impacts of short-term study abroad programs are considered in the literature [1, 2, 3, 4] butinformation regarding mentored undergraduate research in STEM disciplines completed throughtwo-week international programs is limited as is material regarding impacts of suchprogramming for students identifying with underrepresented groups. Outcomes from two short-term international programs in STEM, one offered in the Yucatan in collaboration with Mexicanuniversities and the other in Belize, are considered
outcomes, and much of it is dominated by conversations around Hills’ concept oftransfer shock.4 This phenomenon is when a student experiences a decrease in grade pointaverage when they transfer from a two-year to a four-year institution. To move beyond transfershock and further enhance transfer pathways as a more efficient and effective mechanism toattain baccalaureate degrees, education researchers are calling for a shift in future research—lessemphasis on input/output models (e.g., student characteristics / performance outcomes), andmore focus on processes or what happens to transfer students’ between entry and exit.5 Thisstudy seeks to fill this need. The purpose of our research is two-fold: (1) to increase understanding of factors
knowledge and skills to solve problems, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation. 2. Formative Assessment: Implementing formative assessment strategies allows educators and researchers to identify and appreciate individual progress and growth. Recognizing and acknowledging improvements can further motivate students to continue learning and developing their skills. 3. Contextualizing Engineering Concepts: Relating engineering concepts to real-world applications and contexts that align with students' backgrounds can make the material more accessible and engaging. This approach helps students see the relevance of their assets in engineering practice.The ROLE program has been developed with empowering

categorizing 𝑃𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 , there are two broad categories in power systems:technical and non-technical, as conceptualized in Table 1. Technical losses are from inevitableinefficiencies that come from the physical characteristics of power systems [5]. Non-technicallosses include losses due to errors in processes, record keeping, as well as theft [5]. Non-technical losses are especially damaging because they are avoidable, and thus akin to assignablecauses in Six Sigma [6], yet they often persist due to inadequate enforcement mechanisms andresource constraints.Table 1.

visualization, and analysis usingstatistical and machine learning methods are relevant to students across multiple disciplines.Embedding data science instruction into undergraduate courses can lead to increased studentcomfort level and experience with analytical tools [2]. However, instructors face a variety ofchallenges when integrating data science concepts into their courses such as already full coursecontents and the wide range of students’ backgrounds and familiarity with data processing anddata analysis tools [3]. While previous research has led to the development of instructional datascience materials within specific domains [4], [5], such resources focus on data scienceinstruction embedded in one domain.

Often the integration of simulations and experiments consists of nothing morethan adjusting a fudge factor, like a material property, to get simulations to agree with test results.However, the current

The absence of universal acceptance does not imply thatthe result is not true knowledge, and that knowledge might only be attained reasonably byworking from that metaphysical base.

that does not appear as cutting-edge or innovative. As aresult, the public often assumes that civil engineers are not pushing the boundaries of creativityand technology in the same way other engineers might [20-21].However, innovation in civil engineering differs from that in other engineering disciplines, suchas Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical engineering, which tend to be more product or process-oriented [23-25]. Civil engineering innovation often involves improving designs, materials, andconstruction methods to meet the needs of an evolving society, rather than focusing on creatingentirely new products or processes. Innovations in civil engineering are typically driven by theneed to address complex societal challenges, such as

However, in this meta study, many of the negative-opinionpapers and some of the positive-opinion papers are over ten years old, and they therefore maycontain outdated students’ perceptions. Students who rated the AGT positively often praised theopportunity to receive feedback before the final submission of the assignment 8,6 , whichencouraged them to make multiple attempts to strive for a higher grade. This increased exposureto the material may have positively impacted their overall understanding of the material as well.On the other hand, students who had rated AGTs
