and AttitudesAbstractFeedback is a key element in the development of students’ understanding and evolution in theirlearning process. Students receive feedback in so many forms including peer feedback, instructorfeedback and external feedback from employers or other industries. For this feedback to bevaluable, students need to appreciate it, act on it, and consider it as part of the learning process.The literature shows that there is a discrepancy between instructors’ objectives for feedback andstudents’ perception of the effectiveness of feedback to improve learning. Mostly, students tendto focus on grades rather than reflect on the feedback and take actions to improve their learning.Even when instructors give detailed personalized comments

A thematic analysis of the qualitative data was used to analyzethe reflective essays.This “work in progress” paper will summarize the main results of the study. Based on theanalysis, we propose interventions to assist these students in their transition from high school tocollege. This project is relevant to institutions seeking to improve the retention of students intheir engineering programs.Background:First generation college students are defined as students whose parents completed only a highschool diploma or equivalent. Some researchers include in this classification those studentswhose parents

approach that removessome of these structures to allow for a more nuanced approach to evaluation. In an un-gradingstructure, both instructors and students participate in holistic reflection and assessmentthroughout the course. Proponents of un-grading often note that success outside of the classroomdepends not only on development of knowledge and skills, but also behaviors and practices.Therefore, an un-grading approach often does include assessment of things like participation inclass or timeliness. This holistic approach recognizes that different students have different goalsand interests and makes pathways to success that support the intrinsic motivation of students.A challenge of alternative grading is balancing both structure and nuance

Any studentinterested in applying as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) was required to complete aone-credit course titled “Psychology applied to teaching” before they can begin their duties as ateaching assistant. In this program, faculty are instructed to “integrate the student into thedevelopment of the course” and provide mentorship to the students. At the end of the semester,each UTA is given a questionnaire to reflect on their experience as a teaching assistant [5].The psychology department at the University of Scranton [2] used a similar approach in theirtraining of UTAs in their undergraduate coursework. The students must first complete aone-credit seminar to prepare for their teaching assistantship. The training seminar

Yet within engineering programs, students often have few opportunities to developexpertise in data science or even to explore how data science is relevant to their degreespecializations. This paper reports on an NSF-funded study of a program that prepares STEMstudents to engage with data science in coursework and then mentors them as they secureinternships and complete a capstone that demonstrates their application of data science expertise.Drawing on a mixed-methods study, including student reflections, capstone project assessment,and survey reporting, this paper suggests not only that students make deep connections betweentheir existing majors and data science but also that students trained in our

The National Academy of Sciences has raised theconcern that the current educational model should better align existing engineering models withsuch emerging challenges, broadening the context through an increased number of thematic callsand engaging with a wider range of users. In addition, academic literature on Science,Technology, and Society has called for a move towards a heightened awareness of the contextand factors that influence engineering decision

In this study, we consider theinterdisciplinary teaching system as a tool for developing interdisciplinary identity. Morethan simply the sum of knowledge reflected through a curriculum design or class syllabi, theinterdisciplinary teaching system represents a comprehensive curriculum of study or trainingthat structures students’awareness of learning. By providing multiple interpretiveperspectives across disciplines and creating an experiential teaching environment for real andcomplex issues, situational interests in interdisciplinary learning can be stimulated andpromote the formation of

UBD or understanding by design models help students inrelating what they learn in a course to the real world, and thus deepening theirunderstanding. But given the limitations of these and other models, there is always someimportant piece of experience or learning that is left out. For that very reason, designthinking is one of the most renowned educational models. The model incorporates notonly the self-motivation and reflection of project-based learning, and the real-lifeassociation of concepts as seen in UBD models, but goes a step further and grantsstudents the freedom of exploration to truly expand their horizons

Key components of service-learning include critical reflection and reciprocity [3].Reflection requires that students articulate the experience, while reciprocity requires that studentsaddress the real needs of sponsor to meet the learning outcomes. Because of reciprocity, theseprojects are more likely to be viewed by students as worthwhile given the creative freedom, thefeelings of empathy or for personal satisfaction [1]. Notwithstanding, service-learning projectscan bring risks such as an ill-defined project scope by not having a team of engineers define it, alack of direction by not having a

Whilethe spreadsheet-based methods are easy to use, they are tedious for the coordinator to compile.Spreadsheet tools and SearchLight require faculty to submit an outcome score for each student atthe conclusion of the course. While these scores are linked to signature assessment instruments,it is not clear how faculty aggregate performance and determine the scores. Canvas overcomesthis limitation by clearly linking the

Thisprocess was emphasized for students to reflect and modify their problem identification as theygain knowledge progressing through the design process. The instructors reinforced thisrelationship between their performance and knowledge gained through revisions to past writtenreports that were used to build on their project. Retrieval practice helps students to monitor their learning by encouraging them to retrieve priorknowledge [30 – 46].

Additionally, it allowsinstructors to address higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy, testing application and understandingof content instead of just memory. One

They also conduct experiments to determine the most effective approaches formanaging people and maintaining a productive environment. An example is Lazear (2000) whostudied the impact of piece rates on productivity. The study estimated a 44% overallimprovement in productivity due to piece rates by gradually implementing a new compensationscheme. Around 22% of this was due to greater effort (the incentive effect), and the remaining22% reflected sorting (better new hires) or potentially some

engineering program needed to fitinto that liberal arts model. That meant cultivating the core aspects of the liberal arts model,especially a whole-person approach to collegiate development, a reflective framework forstudents to grow as learners and people, and the ability and desire to be a lifelong learner.Engineering is traditionally a professional degree, thus there was initial wariness about the abilityfor the new program to integrate into the greater college. The pilot engineering science degreeprimarily drew on existing classes and was a subset of the physics department. The revised BAand new BS require more new classes and provide a professional degree. This evolution causedconcern among other faculty members who had concerns that the degrees
