Inaddition, mechanistic reasoning is one of the core competencies listed in the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) Engineering Concepts and Practices (NGSS Lead States, 2013). Mechanisticexplanations focus on the processes that underlie cause-effect relationships and take into account howthe activities of system components affect one another.While some assessment work has been accomplished in engineering education, to date mechanisticreasoning is an area where limited assessment development has been accomplished for pre-collegepopulations.

Laboratory exercises and projects canutilize popular kits such as the ARM-based Rapid Embedded Systems Design Education Kit orlow-cost FPGA embedded systems development boards.

the community(Cambridge, Kaplan, & Suter, 2005; Pimmel, McKenna, Fortenberry, Yoder, & Chavela Guerra,2013). Although many communities of practice occur in person, there exists a history within theengineering education field of virtual communities of practice. For example, ASEE was involvedin a virtual community-of-practice project that was designed to help support faculty members inthe implementation of active learning principles within their classes (Pimmel et al., 2013).Through this project, two types of virtual communities of practice were developed: (1) thosefocused on a particular course content and (2) those that were disciplinary in nature. Resultsobtained from these communities seemed to vary and were dependent on the level

A total of 4 credit hours over the year are dedicated to Practicum, where students applytheir thermal-fluid sciences knowledge to design, test, and solve hands-on engineering designproblems. Past projects have included an air engine design, air cannon design, solar air heaterdesign, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) design study of racecar aerodynamics.

various instruments available to measure teacher instructional practices, the researchteam decided to use both self-report and classroom observation instruments. In an effort to measurechanges in teacher practice, the team ultimately chose to use three instruments: RTOP, SEC, and anonline journaling activity designed by the project team. The RTOP was designed to quantitatively measure the extent to which classroom instructional practicesalign with reform principles. Reformed teaching shifts from traditional teacher-centered teachingpractices to constructivist student-centered practices. The RTOP includes twenty-five items distributedacross three scales: Lesson Design and Implementation (five items), Content (ten items across twosubcategories
informationbeing sought during the exam.A physical limitation observed in association with this course is that while the EECSdepartment seems happy to have this additional elective offering, there is currently no labspace or funds to create a lab space in order to conduct the laboratory experiments fortheir students. Therefore, EECS students were required to utilize lab space within theEngineering Technology Department that is additionally used for other courses in thatdepartment. Students felt the lab space was inadequate to accommodate all the purposesassigned to it. Also, based on the current equipment provided for wiring projects,additional unexpected challenges arose when components would not remain on the boardor when circuitry became complex

major.Research QuestionsThrough this project, we hope to better support first-year aspiring engineering students,especially those from underprepared backgrounds. We hope to accomplish this by providingincreased academic and emotional support as well as integrating first-year aspiring engineeringstudents better into our school’s engineering community earlier in their academic careers. Viathese activities, we hope to retain students’ interest in engineering through this foundationalperiod of study. We will research the following questions, in particular as they pertain to our newsupport program: ● How do we support the development of meaningful relationships for underprepared first- year students within their engineering experience?

2011, Dr. Barankin was a lecturer at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen, where he taught both in Dutch and in English. During this time his primary teaching and course develop- ment responsibilities were wide-ranging, but included running the Unit Operations laboratory, introducing Aspen Plus software to the curriculum, and developing a course for a new M.S. program on Renewable Energy (EUREC). In conjunction with his teaching appointment, he supervised dozens of internships (a part of the curriculum at the Hanze), and a number of undergraduate research projects with the Energy Knowledge Center (EKC) as well as a master’s thesis. In 2016, Dr. Barankin returned to the US to teach at the Colorado
