Student performanceon labs and tests in the two parallel sections of the course are compared. Additionally studentsurveys conducted in both the online and face-to-face courses are used to document and comparestudents’ perceptions of their learning experience, the effectiveness of the course resources, theiruse of these resources, and their overall satisfaction with the course.1.

These ten practices are: first-yearexperiences, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, writing intensive courses,collaborative assignments, experiencing different worldviews, community-based learning,capstone experiences, undergraduate research, and internships. In particular, undergraduateresearch and internships are relevant to engineering education but are not utilized by allundergraduate students (as opposed to a required capstone design experience). Thisunderstanding of high impact practices, the engineering education landscape, and the variationsin access to these experiences amongst students led to the focus on the role of undergraduateresearch and internships on engineering task self

with an industry biasand one from a science literacy group that had an environmental bias.After watching the videos, students were split into five groups that were assigned a differentperspective: science and engineering, economic impact, environmental impact, societal impact,and political impact. The students were instructed to use their phones or laptops to individuallyresearch hydraulic fracturing through their assigned lens. Following their individual research, thestudents in each group discussed their findings and developed consensus statements that werereported out to the class. The whole class engaged in a discussion around these differentperspectives and groups were invited to ask each other questions. At the end of the period,students

asked to demonstrate competencies of working ingroups and being able to engage in problem solving [5]. “Just-in-time” tutoring techniques,utilized by the Engineering Clinic, focus on addressing student questions as they arise, in a drop-in style group setting. Clinics using this technique require fewer financial resources; however,there are few studies relating to the assessment of the effectiveness of this model. One studyfound that first-year students who used a “just-in-time” model of academic support more than 10times in a semester had higher rates of persistence [6]. Another study showed that studentsstarting their academic career, particularly those identifying from underserved populations, areable to relate better to peers than to a

still typicallytaught outside of the STEM major, sending the message to students that writing is not central toSTEM disciplines. To combat this issue, many have argued for writing across the curriculumand taking a discipline-specific view of writing.A challenge, even for these approaches, is engaging students in authentic writing that isfoundational to solving contextual and socially just design problems [2]. Whereas the focus ofmuch core engineering coursework is focused on building technical, disciplinary knowledge,many have argued for approaches that also prepare students to approach engineering problemsmore holistically, considering the ethics and consequences of their work [3]. For instance, instudents struggle to consider the ways their

Given the centrality of technology today,engineering students will help shape our future, significantly. Yet often they lack theprofessional skillset to reach the greatest promise in their careers and as citizens. How canprofessional skills be developed through experiential practice? Blurring the line between artand science offers one route via creative engagement: playing in a conductorless orchestrawhere students practice leadership, teamwork, and communication week-in and week-out.

While most REU programs operate on a single campus, agrowing number offer participants the opportunity to engage in research at geographicallydistributed campuses united around a common theme. Though logistically challenging, such aprogram can expand participants’ networks while maintaining a sense of cohort and community,which is important for researcher identity development.

Groups of 3 to 4 students collaborate on the group test. Larger groups reducethe impact of individual voices, and groups of two often suffer from a dominant (but notnecessarily stronger) partner. The group exam can be given in the same class period, if time isavailable, or in the following period. Providing a gap between the two exams can be beneficialbecause students can shore up weaknesses in their understanding brought to light by theindividual exam. However, not too much time should be allowed, since more misconceptions inunderstanding will be uncovered by the
