Of particular interest were responses to a math-identityrelated item, “I see myself as a math person.” Along with this, transcripts from focus groupinterviews were reviewed for quotes from these same students related to their math experiences,skill development, sense of math identity, and efficacy. Most students’ responses to the mathidentity survey item either remained the same or changed only slightly however, students’ focusgroup reflections on their math experiences were wide-ranging. The results of this study provideinitial evidence that the summer bridge program is a positive experience for students, but themath placement exam is a barrier to

The final unobtained book was a textbook on combustion by Turns (ISBN:9781260477696). Given the small fraction of the corpus that this single book represents, thisomission does not seriously threaten the external validity of our findings.While reserve lists reflect an important aspect of curricula, textbooks are only an approximationof the curriculum as-taught and as-intended. Textbooks are often only partly aligned with theteaching goals of a particular class; in some cases, there is no textbook that reflects the content ofa course. Given this approximate alignment, our

Students frequently describedsolution requirements as constraints (38%) though in many instances these might be moreappropriately framed as objectives that do not necessarily constrain the solution. Thedevelopment of engineering requirements represents an important transition point in problemframing that moves the problem from a qualitative representation (e.g. needs statements,operating principles) to a quantitative one (i.e. metrics and values that reflect performanceobjectives and constraints). Students who overall lack of experience with ill-structured problems,and design problems specifically, have limited experience with this qualitative to quantitativetransition that is common in practice.

An example ofsuch nanostructure is the ultrathin Babinet-inverted metasurface made up of asymmetric split-ringapertures fabricated in a metal plate, which produces high-quality-factor (high-Q) Fano resonances. TheFano resonances originate from the interaction of bright modes and dark modes that give rise toasymmetric linewidth profiles in the scattering parameters, such as absorption or reflection spectra.

The author was the instructor for that course and had taught itmore than twenty-five times before this offering. During that span, four substantial pedagogicalchanges occurred. After those changes the effect of completing homework upon an averagestudent’s course score improved by a factor of 2.5 [1].One of those pedagogical changes incorporated homework wrappers into assigned homeworkproblems. Briefly, the homework wrappers asked the students to reflect upon their approach tosolving the problem and their execution of the solution and then
