Being able to apply what is learned later in theiracademic career is a strong indicator of true mastery of a subject. 8Bibliography 1.

, all four teams ordered the parts and started working onthe projects in the second and third weeks of July. Since the MTSU campus was closed and theCOVID-19 cases surged in the summer, the students collaborated remotely using slack, Zoom,text messages, Discord, etc. Because the project involved writing code, some students also set upGitHub repositories in order to collaborate and perform version control. The faculty mentorshelped the students along the way by holding regularly status meetings and answering theirquestions.4. Project OutcomesAll four teams completed their projects by the end of July, and the last week was mostly used totinker and dabble.

Furthermore, several studiesfound that collaboration improves students’ performance by developing higher order-thinkingwhen students discuss their ideas in the group (Chung, 1998; S. D. Johnson & Chung, 1999;Mergendoller, Bellisimo, & Maxwell, 2000). Students will more engaged in learning when theyfeel they are an accepted group member (Willms, 2003). For example, girls have positiveperceptions about team processes when they are in a group comprised of other girls. As shown inprior research on SEEK, girls felt less positive about their team processes and were less engagedwhen they were in a co-ed team (Beauchamp, Edwards, Knight, & Lee, 2019).

Thecurriculum focus also included numerous discussions about how to adapt provided curriculum tomake it appropriate for students with varied background experiences. During the last twoSaturdays for Cohort 1 (March/April 2020) and then for all of Cohort 2’s Saturdays (fall2020/spring 2021) an additional focus became discussing how to enact CS lessons in remotelearning environments, including asynchronously.

process is as follows: • Early-stage discussion between faculty and university/school leaders with the objective of encouraging the free-flow of ideas at this early stage. • Decision process communicated by leaders to faculty with clarity around expected processes of decision making. For example, which groups are active participants in the decision-making process? Which groups will be consulted and will serve in an advisory capacity? What will the feedback loop look like after the decision is made? • Follow-up report after decision making provided by leaders to faculty to explain the rationale for the decision(s) made.Further, the idea of Town Hall is grounded in the principles
to apply concepts presented in lectures. • Combining Analysis and Design: future work is underway to streamline the course and evaluate other programs that teach both analysis and design into one course. We will identify the most critical topics needed for teaching both analysis and design, match the topics with the more interesting case studies, and create new ones in some cases, to continue enhancing student understanding and learning of structural analysis and design. Future work also includes tracking student performance in subsequent and more advanced classes.References[1] S. Singer and K.A.
