Newsoutlets and blogs have reported on Gather’s recent usage in academic settings for events such asconferences, office hours and poster sessions [9-11]. Similar reporting has also covered Gather’suse in the classroom [12, 13] but evaluation of its effectiveness in courses is limited, most likelydue to its recent launch. A small case study in an Agricultural Technology course found thegeneral impressions of Gather as an educational resource to be positive [14]. However, thestudent cohort

Similarly, different feedback approaches have beenstudied as strategies to boost engagement, including peer feedback between students anddirect feedback from the teacher [6]. Other research has also shown that introducingpractices from other disciplines, such as project management [7] or agile methodologies[8], promotes engagement by creating a safe and collaborative environment.Similarly, research has also shown that participation of students within class has a positiveimpact in students’ wellbeing and emotional development [9], thus contributing to enhancestudents’ engagement.

In one year or two years maybe... Ilearned Matlab not by step by step…if I just have a problem and I just looked up the help document and find the function. I justplug in and then look at another problem, I just google it to see how to solve the problem. I didn't learn it step by step. How todefine the variable, how to deal with matrix…I just directly go to the help document to solve the problem. Not so systematic I think.…RP 6: I learned to use one
Learn Statics ConceptsAbstractThis paper describes the results from an ongoing project where hands-on models and associatedactivities are integrated throughout an undergraduate statics course with the goal of deepeningstudents’ conceptual understanding, scaffolding spatial skills, and therefore developingrepresentational competence with foundational concepts such as vectors, forces, moments, andfree-body diagrams. Representational competence refers to the fluency with which a subjectexpert can move between different representations of a concept (e.g. mathematical, symbolic,graphical, 2D vs. 3D, pictorial) as appropriate for communication, reasoning, and problemsolving.This study sought to identify the characteristics

Due to the multiple aspects mostly related to students’ cognitiveand linguistic processes, writing is considered to be a

This application, which addressed Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET)’s Criterion 3 and Criterion 5c, was implemented in a four-credit hour(ch) senior-level applied fluid mechanics course, with a 3ch lecture and 1ch laboratorycomponent. The course is the second in fluid mechanics’ sequence and covers topics likepipeline systems design, pump selection, flow of air in ducts, lift and drag, etc. The originalinstructional design used a blend of traditional in-class lectures and problem-based learningfocused on project-based and other laboratory exercises.To further improve the students

One of these strategieswas to bring in guest speakers and faculty to talk about their expertise and experiences inengineering and other related areas which allowed students to hear from other voices within theiruniversity communities. The survey also asked faculty for their feedback on the ILCs to help makethem more impactful. Some of these suggestions include providing inclusive strategies aimed atimproving student interactions during group work or projects as well as considering introducingthe inclusive strategies menu to students as a way for them to help design the classroomenvironment they would thrive

barriers for transfer students in STEMinclude: (a) inaccurate or passive transfer advisement, (b) weak transfer/articulation policies, (c)lack of course transferability, (d) the sudden shift from a supportive environment to one withmore competitive classroom pedagogies, (e) unfamiliarity with academic rigor and expectationsat 4-year institutions, (f) feelings of isolation, and (g) poor experiences with financial aid (5).Previous studies have shown that students who successfully transfer to a 4-year institution areless likely to graduate than students who initially enrolled at the institution (6), highlighting theneed for support at this critical transition.

For example, the School ofEngineering of the Polytechnic of Porto reported on their efforts to boost students’ non-technicalskills through the implementation of active learning [6]. One study reviewed the promotion andteaching of non-technical skills in higher education across five European countries [7]. Theresearchers grouped skills that engineering students need into five categories: Technical,Metacognitive, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Problem solving. They then presented groupingsof best pedagogical practices that may be integrated into the curriculum, such as problem-basedlearning, project-based learning, game-based
