The authors alsofound a significant difference between the FG and Non-FG students with respect to their overallcollege experience. Their findings showed that the FG students had taken fewer number ofcredits hours, studied fewer hours, worked longer hours, and had overall lower academic

Ten faculty teaching first- and second-year Engineering courses participated in the first cohort of ISE-2 in Summer 2017, which consisted of three workshops and six informal “coffee conversations”. At the conclusion of the workshops, each faculty was tasked with completing a teaching plan for the Fall 2017 semester, to incorporate the strategies and knowledge from ISE-2 into the courses they plan to teach. Focus groups with the ISE-2 faculty were conducted in Fall 2017 to obtain feedback about the faculty development program. Classroom observations were

More specifically, service learning has been found toenhance students’ collaboration skills [2], civic engagement, interpersonal skills [3], [4], andtheir ability to apply knowledge to problem-solving [5].Our service-learning course was

The abilityto use concrete, for all the walls, in exception of the wooden roof sourced from readily availablematerials, reduces logistical requirements for the U.S. Army. Structural [19], and thermal [20]studies have been performed to predict the best mixture for the structure and the most energy-efficient building in terms of energy.A methodology for building construction has been developed (Figure 2).

factor analysis with a promax (non-orthogonal) rotation was then run withthe newly shortened set of items. From theory, we would expect three factors (attainment STV,utility STV, and intrinsic STV), so a three-factor analysis was run first. Results from the threefactor maximum likelihood analysis are provided in Appendix B. We note that all items meetrecommendations for minimum loading of 0.32 onto a factor [38], except for the item that asked“I am interested in learning how to communicate with people from different backgrounds”.However, factor correlations ranged from -0.51 to -0.81, indicating that two of the factors arehighly correlated.
