Retired astronaut John B. Herrington [15] conducted research on themotivation and engagement of Native American students in a NASA-sponsored summerSTEM program on the Duck Creek Indian Reservation in the high desert of Idaho andNevada. Commander Herrington found indigenous students were more enthusiastic whenpresented information on traditional tools and techniques used by their ancestors longbefore the introduction of western STEM disciplines [14].A final area of research is studying civic engagement among STEM students who havecompleted history of technology
) answered prompts in front of the entire class and were surveyedcomprehensively in the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. This course was held inSpring 2020, where students started the course fully in-person and shifted to synchronous virtualinstruction shortly after the mid-semester survey. The course was at the introductory level, and itwas the first major-specific course in the curriculum. The course is typically taken in the springsemester of the second year, so students may know each other and have some experience withcollege level instruction.The other cohort (Cohort B) started the course in Fall 2020 with synchronous virtual instructionwith plans for partial in-person instruction. Cohort B students completed a one-question
waste casks.The effectiveness of this collaborative module in promoting cross-disciplinary learning wasassessed through an analysis of student responses to an anonymous survey. The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

At the end of the semester, students communicate their results inthe following forms: (1) abstract, (2) technical report, and (3) oral presentation supported bymulti-media materials. A check list and grading criteria were developed that includes all theelements of the DoM.After completing the course, twenty-one students have demonstrated success in obtainingfunding and/or creating formal work products.

As the class average was above80%, we can consider this result to indicate satisfactory proficiency overall. A second example(1P) involves the behavior of a sequential logic element: the JK flip-flop (FF). Given a diagramof the JK FF with a negative-edge triggered clock input, and a timing diagram showing the pulsetrain waveforms for the clock, J and K inputs, the student was to predict the output of the JK FF.On this item, students scored an average of 4.35 out of 5 points.

Members of the judging panel considered the following criteria in making theirselections: a) Creativity in the content selection and presentation; b) Anticipated breadth of public appeal and interest; and c) Effectiveness in highlighting how achieving one or more of the NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering will lead to a more sustainable, healthy, secure, and/or joyous world.7Classroom implementation The E4U2 video project was implemented in a BET class at Auburn University in spring2015. The class had a total of 29 students of which 18 were pursuing engineering and 11 werebusiness majors. In the beginning of the semester, the class was divided into six teams

, etal.18 The two statistical tests explored in this paper are the Chi-square test and the t-test toanalyze retention rates and students’ GPA respectively. B. Statistical OverviewThe Chi-square test is used to compare frequency of occurrence for those results that come fromcategorical (discrete) data, such as retention rates. A specific version of this test is the Pearson’s Page 26.34.4Chi-square test that compares the expected value of an occurrence to the actual occurrence rate.Retention rate data is discrete because a person can only be in a state of ‘Yes’ (the person wasretained) or ‘No’ (the person was not retained).

defining sustainability or answering objective questions (e.g., multiple choice).Assessments of design skills capture higher-order cognitive processes which may require bothconceptual and procedural knowledge; for example, students applying sustainable design to theircapstone projects. Assessments of beliefs, attitudes, or interests reflect self-knowledge and aremore indicative of motivation to perform sustainable design or act sustainably, rather than ademonstrated ability to do so.Accordingly, the research questions guiding this review were:1. What tools are available for assessing students’ (a) conceptual knowledge, (b) design skills or application of knowledge, and/or (c) beliefs/attitudes/interests related to sustainability?2. Which fields
and transformations as well as global business pressures.Traditional undergraduate programs are not equipping graduates with the skills needed for thecomplex challenges of the 21st century. 1 These pressures are leading industry to ask thequestions; a) how can we partner with academia and the government to advance personalizedlearning and b) how can we leverage our investment and intellectual capital to increase thequantity/quality and knowledge transfer of the current STEM workforce, education pipeline andlabor supply?Disruptive changes: Ageing: Roughly a quarter of the nation's 637,000 aerospace workers could be eligible for retirement in 2015. 2 Globalization: Engineers work through global multidisciplinary and distributive
including SMCC ME teams toassess the progress and quality of the student capstone projects. At the final quarter presentation,all faculty, project sponsors and TAs in attendance were given a grading rubric seen in AppendixB. Scores were compared by implementing a quantitative scale (excellent =5 to poor = 1).Using these scores and after an ME faculty discussion, the teams were separated into threegroups (a) over-performing expectations (b) performing-as-expected (c) under-performingexpectations. Student grades were based on group rankings.Table 3: Data collection instrumentsInstrument Nature Population 1 Closed Ended survey- ME capstone 71 ME seniors enrolled in ME capstone student
. Response scales ranged from 1 to 5, and we consider any response of 4 orgreater to display positive sentiments. The questions are abbreviated on the graphic below butare shown with the exact wording in Appendix B. Overall, students expressed satisfaction withthe course and the degree to which the course improved their understanding of the material(Questions 1, 2, 3 & 5), but they communicated a slightly less positive sentiment regarding thevalue and relevance of the course as a whole (Questions 8 & 9). Still, given our experience withthe subject of engineering statistics and the fact that the course serves many programs, theseresponses were higher than we expected. Responses to the question of prerequisites (Question 4)suggest students
want students to recognize that approaching problems from multipledisciplinary perspectives can lead to better solutions. In this way, we aim to foster across-disciplinary empathy that facilitates collaboration.Course DesignThe course itself is organized around an objective, an outcome, and an output. The objective isthat each student will learn: “about a) working in teams, to b) build things, that c) collaboratewith people in ways that matter.” The anticipated outcome is the student’s increased ability toidentify their own strengths (and weaknesses) in working and communicating alongside peoplein other fields than their own. The anticipated output will be team-constructed drones, and teamdesigned and implemented drone payload systems.In
