To provide datavisualization, descriptive statistics were also evaluated by comparing pre/post averages ofstudents’ self-reported results.Indirect assessment showed that exposure to DEEP POOL moved students’ averaged self-reported Learning Outcome achievement up across all outcomes assessed. The largestimprovements (with averages increasing 1.71 points on a 4-point scale) were in skills related toABET (k) and ABET (h). The next largest gain (the average increased 1.29 points on a 4-pointscale) was in ABET (b). One-tailed Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test of indirect assessment datacorroborate these results.

The programparticipants are then required to choose a subset of the fields that they would like to furtherinvestigate. Students are asked to select experiences from the following areas of study:Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Chemical and Materials Engineering, CivilEngineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and MechanicalEngineering. The students have the opportunity to learn about these fields with faculty andstudents from each discipline. The hands-on activities usually begin with a discussion of the areaof interest, a

anindividual’s entity versus incremental personality theory in the domains of intelligence andmorality. The three items in the implicit personality theories of intelligence domain measure arethe following: a) You have a certain amount of intelligence and you really can’t do much to change it; b) Your intelligence is something about you that you can’t change very much; and c) You can learn new things, but you can’t really change your basic intelligence.Respondents indicated their agreement with these statements on a 6-point scale from 1 (stronglyagree) to 6 (strongly disagree) [25, p. 269]. Respondents with a score of 3.0 or below areclassified as entity theorists, and those with a 4.0 score or higher are classified as incrementaltheorists
