Effortswere made to ensure that each application was read by the REU Program Director and at leastone other individual on the committee. At the end of the initial screening, each application wasbinned as “Yes,” “Maybe,” or “No.”Following the initial screening, the REU Program Director curated small batches ofapproximately five applications from the “Yes” and “Maybe” bins to send to each PI/mentorteam. Applicants were matched to projects based on a number of applicant-specific factorsincluding ranked research interests, course background, research experience, and campuses ofinterest; and project-specific requirements including desired course background

(e.g., what do you want to suggest to improvestudent engagement in today’s class). At the conclusion of the semester, the full research teammet with the course instructors and all the graduate teaching assistants. During that meeting, theUTAs shared their initial findings on the issues and opportunities for improvements. The post-semester debrief meeting served to immediately offer the instructors a synthesis of the semester-long observations. This approach made transparent the observations to the course instructors andGTAs at the end of the semester and afforded the instructors an opportunity to re-interpret, rebut,or reformulate any of the observations, initial findings, and suggestions. As such, the instructorswere privileged with the

2008) Significantly, a student conductorless orchestra at Olin College of Engineering has evolvedmethods for distributed leadership through which students experience peak performance,teamwork, and effective communication. Such an orchestra exerts singular demands on eachindividual during rehearsals and concerts: the musicians must take initiative to diagnoseproblems, communicate possible solutions, and test/implement the discussed changes. In sodoing, they build scaffolding for effective teamwork. 2 But why not just teach these skills in other coursework? Why focus on engineer-musicians?Recent work in brain research suggests these students are already primed for leadership,teamwork, and
ideological assumptions and stances are coordinated viaconcepts that can be nascent or explicit. Ideological transformation involves shifting meanings ofthese concepts. For example, Philip documents how one teacher’s sensemaking of students’participation in class was initially coordinated via the nascent concept of “teachers blamingstudents.” Through extended engagement in a teacher research group focused on social justice inscience and math classrooms, the concept of “teachers blaming students” is made more explicitand is linked to ideological assumptions that cohere with systems-based reasoning, assumptionsthat recast “teachers blaming students” as a problematic alternative to explanations that

This proof-of-concept paper addresses the following research question: Is our approachof using undergraduate mentors to scale a technical writing course feasible? To address thisprimary research question, the paper first considers the following secondary questions: 1. Will students enroll for our course, especially in the second semester? 2. Will students resist the approach of our course? 3. Will students challenge having undergraduate mentors provide writing advice and grading? 4. Will the undergraduate mentors, who are taking full course loads, be able to provide sufficient hours to help the writing instructor handle the mentoring and grading loads? 5

withservice and humanitarian foci –referred to as service-oriented projects– for students to work onin teams. The research analyzes the change in students’ attitudes, and reveals that learningservice through selected project types has an impact similar to that of service learning. Resultsshow that there are some changes in attitudes and future planned activities after participation inthese projects, similar to those seen in hands-on service-learning environments. In addition,comparisons of students on non-service focused projects to those on actual service-learning orservice-oriented projects show they are significantly less affected in terms of concern for socialproblems or that non-profit work is a true venue for engineering work.Introduction and
