To assess program quality andgather feedback to improve the program from the student’s point of view, Dr. Quadrifogliodeveloped and implemented a post-program survey made available to students via Google Formafter the program. To assess program impact on students’ learning, we gathered pre-program andpost-program student grade point averages (GPA) by cohort (not individual students).Student grade point averages were tracked from the

Therefore, to begin understanding the impact of the NJITMakerspace COVID-19 protocol on manufacturing education required us to pose the question toNJIT groups that had access to the NJIT Makerspace during the Fall 2020 semester. This focusedscope did not include assessing the effectiveness of the NJIT Makerspace COVID-19 protocol onpreventing the spread of COVID-19.METHODSThis study was conducted through a survey that was distributed to three NJIT groups that haveaccess to use the NJIT Makerspace for personal or academic purposes during the Fall 2020academic semester

The determination of the coding categories evolved overtime depending on the observations of the researchers.Phase 1. We began by analyzing each poem line by line to assess the “correctness” of the line, asthis was the approach used to grade the assignments for the course. At end of this phase, we madethree observations:1. Some lines could be deemed as being correct more easily than others, whereas some lines could be deemed to be partially correct or incorrect.

As will be described in a later section of this paper, the active learning opportunities weoffered to our students were: 1) in the classroom during lectures, and 2) in optional SupplementalInstruction (SI) sessions, which were offered outside of class, where teaching assistants led smallgroup problem solving sessions in an online setting. The self-selection bias arising due to theoptional nature of the SI sessions is another limitation of this research study that could not becontrolled for.III.

the Boeing Max Air Disaster as A Role-Play Scenario for Teaching Ethical ThinkingIntroductionAlgorithms and software now drive decision-making across a range of domains, and the impact ofalgorithms in the digital future is hard to escape (O'Neil, 2016; Pasquale, 2015). They not onlyshape individual actions but are increasingly embedded into the structure of our society, makingdecisions at scale about who gets a loan, who gets hired or fired from a job, who receives socialservices, who can vote, who goes to prison, for how long, and when they get parole (Brayne, 2017;Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018; Eubanks, 2018). For instance, a software system with COMPASmachine learning-based recidivism risk assessment tool assigns disproportionately higher

As such, institutions have become proactive and robust in makingprograms accessible through promotion and marketing activities.Marketing of the study abroad programs have, however, become increasingly commercial. This,in part, further challenges parents and students who are yet to understand the benefits ofinternational education programs [9]. Critics point out that education abroad has become moreentrepreneurial and consumer-oriented [26]. With the consumer mentality, universities generaterevenue from these programs [27] and market study abroad programs appealing to theirconsumers’ gaze (students) that fit the tourist model. In some cases, students often apply theirconsumer lens to assess the educational experience [26

integrate design into theengineering curriculum (e.g., Crawley, 2002) and to identify effective ways for assessment (Dym et al.,2005). Some faculty were comfortable engaging in a pedagogy based on project-based learning (PBL)(Smith et al., 2005). Employers started to recognize the qualities that PBL provides for students, includingcommunication, teamwork skills and interest in life-long learning (Oakes, Coyle, & Jamieson, 2000;Smith, 2004).The constantly changing nature of the engineering curriculum, in concert with economic, social andglobal contexts, continuously call for engineering faculty to adapt, by incorporating new content as wellas utilizing effective educational interventions.
