In contrast to the study described in [6], wedifferentiated between two dimensions of engagement – behavioral and emotional – andseparately explored the levels of engagement in each dimension. We also used a differenttimeframe; rather than considering a single class period, we asked students to reflect on theirengagement across the entire semester. These differences allowed us to develop a comprehensivepicture of student engagement profiles, which we hope will be useful for electrical engineeringinstructors. Specifically, knowledge of students’ engagement profiles may help instructors tounderstand the various ways students engage in a course. This knowledge may also help informinstruction and course management

This approach fostered improved co-regulation skills, and students who started withthe lowest levels of conceptual knowledge had similar course outcomes to those who began withhigher scores.In reflecting on our observations of the course, we also feel the collaborative quizzes were well-received. The majority of students participated fully and were engaged with the materials. It wasnot uncommon to hear students in extended discussions, particularly about the latter questions inthe quizzes, which tended to

The FCARprovides one or two pages of summative information related to the courses taught by eachfaculty member during that semester. The FCAR generally contain the following information: • Course Description • Course Outcomes • Class Grade Distribution • Course Outcomes Assessment • Student Outcomes Assessment • Reflection • Proposed Action ItemsThe main idea is to capture the reflection and proposed action items for improvement of coursestaught at the grass-roots by the responsible instructors.

As theECP project wound down, the group has been reflecting on what lessons there are to be learnedfrom this experience. First and foremost, the project succeeded because many schools workedtogether as one to collectively improve the learning experiences of their students.What enabled the group to succeed? 1) Experienced faculty trained faculty at schools new topersonal instrumentation at both in-person workshops and regular online meetings.

Of the two respondents who stated that the IoT sessiondidn’t change their perception of ECE, one was a student who maintained an interest in ECEafter the session. Responses to survey questions #5 and #6 are shown in Figures 1.e and 1.f, and they reflect theimpact of the IoT session on the respondents’ enhanced interest of ECE, and their motivation tostrongly consider it as a choice of engineering discipline.

For us, the context is engineering education. In its  simplest form, gender reflects the set of characteristics, behaviors, and practices that we think ofas “feminine” or “masculine” – characteristics that any individual biological male or female mayor may not embody.Race, like gender, is not a biological category but a social one.

The students consisted ofundergraduates enrolled in engineering courses; the unique audience represents students enrolledin HBCU colleges. The content or setting of use reflected “Introduction to ElectricalEngineering” (second semester freshmen level course), and other early electrical engineeringcourses. The selection of the two topics was made using the following process. A series ofquestions used in introductory level ECE courses was presented to representatives from all 13institutions at

In other words, what is the set of keyoutcomes one would like for their students to have possessed at the end of the learningexperience or even years after they have exited the learning process? For example, in theintroductory circuit course used for study three it was evident that students were expected tohave developed a certain level of engineering problem solving skills that could be translated toother complex learning experiences. The emphasis on working problems in the class or the use oflearning activities meant to provide more class time for working problems were also reflected instudies two

0.783 for Section 002.This is likely due to the makeup of students in each section and the time difference betweenwhen the two sections met for class. The lower performing section was the earlier 8 AM classwhen more students were apt to miss class, show up late, and be less engaged during the classlectures. The importance of the difference between the two sections is reflected in the unevendistribution of homework assignments. The section that performed better was assessed twicewith paper homework while the section that performed worse was assessed twice withWeBWorK homework. This would indicate the difference between paper-based homework andWeBWorK-based homework may be larger than directly indicated by the score averages weobtained. If only
