In this particular phase of the program, only seven emeriti faculty were recruited tomentor 11 URM faculty. However, the program had a positive impact on the mentees

]. Accordingly, effective introductorycourses are important for students’ future success in their program of study, and therefore,careers [1], [3], [8]–[11]. As summarized by Temple et al. [3]: “[F]irst year courses can improve academic performance, stimulate interest and improve retention, and better prepare students for future coursework. It is important that students acquire the qualities that prepare them to be successful engineers in the changing workplace, including the ability to work on and communicate with members of a multidisciplinary and professional team.”Research on high-impact educational practices has shown that in-class active or collaborativelearning in introductory science, technology, engineering, and

comfortable talking to each other, and an activity in which students engaged withhow engineering design involves a network of stakeholders being impacted. The case of Target using predictive analytics to target advertisements at pregnant womenand new mothers was discussed in sessions two through four. These sessions were professionallytranscribed and a content log was generated in order to code for major movements in thediscussion and to identify segments of video for further analysis. Based on field notes, we knewthat on the first day of discussing the Target case study, the participants minimally consideredharm to the pregnant woman in the case-study, which surprised the facilitators. The prompts forthe subsequent focus group sessions were

The dataset came down to just 13 itemsbecause much of the EIL literature is based on student self-report data on how the class went, orwas it enjoyable, rather than on actual student learning gains. As such, these papers did not meetthe criteria for demonstrated learning gains as a measure of effectiveness. In addition, somepapers were excluded for lack of clarity about methods. In these studies it is not evident howeither the intervention and/or the assessment

curriculum. Both courses stressed the importanceof teamwork and engaged students in working on design challenges.Students completed a two-part activity: They first identified their own assets and the assets oftheir teammates. They were then guided to map the assets across their team members andcritically evaluate areas of strength and weakness. To aid them on the second portion, weprovided a list of specific skills valued in professional engineering practice. In this paper, wefocus on professional communication, project management, and interpersonal / teamwork skills.We collected all student work related to the activity. We developed a coding scheme to analyzethe qualitative data and conducted basic statistics (correlations and t-tests) to analyze

It is important to note that the emphasis is on stimulatingemotions associated with intellectual activity. This includes helping students find excitement inconsidering new ideas, understanding and appreciating abstract concepts and their application inthe world around them, and participating in the process of discovery. Lowman notes that this isthe more important of the two-dimensions of his model.The second dimension, Interpersonal Rapport, deals with the interpersonal interaction occurringboth within the classroom and without between instructors and students

thoughts and ideas are not fixed, but are formed and reformedthrough continuous processes grounded in experience and involving transactions between thelearner and the environment. Kolb’s experiential learning model is based on such transactions,where knowledge is created through the transformation of external, real-world experiences. Oneform of incorporating real-world experiences involves service learning, where students areactively involved with community-based experiences meeting one or more societal needs. It wasposited that repurposing the software application project to incorporate service learning conceptscould better serve the students involved. Therefore, in 2014 the project was revised in the spiritof experiential learning to meet the
