feedback is necessary to help students further develop these skills and ithas been suggested such feedback is best when situated in the context of authentic engineeringtasks 3. We hypothesize that in such a context, students are more likely to take up feedback onprofessional skills because these skills will be viewed as an integral part of what an engineerdoes. There are two parts to providing students with feedback on these skills: (a) we first musthave a firm understanding of what it means to have professional skills in engineering, and (b) weneed to know how to effectively provide students with feedback on these skills.The case study described in this paper focuses on discourse as students receive feedback whilethey engage in an industrially

Classroom sessions were segmented into clips, and clipswere coded to reflect the points of interest noted in our research questions, in a mannersimilar to Nathan et al., 2009. Our coding framework delineated two dimensions that areespecially relevant here: A. Concepts mark engagement with “big ideas” from STEM, such as: modeling in engineering; force and work in science; and algebra in mathematics. We separately note whether math concepts are explicitly integrated for students during instruction. B. Skills address process-oriented tasks that are important for doing practical Page

Data from more cohorts should be collected from a longitudinal perspective.Last but not least, while internal consistency reliability and construct validity focus on the SASIIII as a whole test, item response theory (IRT) should be employed to investigate how individualitems perform on the SASI III. Based on the IRT results, items with poor performance should beremoved without affecting the reliability and validity of the inventory.ReferencesAl-Sheeb, B. A., Hamouda, A., & Abdella, G. M. (2019).

Problem 2 required studentsto reproduce an equivalent circuit based on a set of constraints and utilized a different set ofknown values for parts A and B than for part C.

However,approximately 90% of students who earned a B in the extended Calculus 1 course passedCalculus 2 with a C or better, while only 82.4% of the students who earned a B in theconventional single-semester Calculus 1 course earned a C or better in Calculus 2.

However, one of the earlier definitions is still widely accepted andcomprehensive: Service-learning is “a course based, credit-bearing, educational experience inwhich students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified communityneeds and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding ofcourse content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civicresponsibility." (Bringle & Hatcher, 1995). Note the three elements. To be defined as service-learning the activity must be in the context of a credit-bearing course, meet a real communityneed, and involve a reflection component

Student demographics by major are shown in Table1, and it is clear that a few majors are over-represented in our dataset as compared to engineeringundergraduate population as a whole. We list the majors as Major A, B, C,… to protect theidentity of the faculty and staff within those majors. In particular, Major A students appear in ourdataset about 30% more than their prevalence in the overall population, and Major E students ata rate nearly double their representation in the overall population. It is not clear why Major Astudents would be over-represented in our dataset. However, Major E tends to attract
