Education, 2021 Work in Progress: Wrappers vs. ExpertsIntroductionEighty-one students enrolled in a required, third-year reaction engineering course were thesubjects for this investigation. 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

Bothstudents and faculty felt that these exams were more reflective of student learning and competency. Tomaintain a balance between academic integrity and the availability of resources, faculty felt it wasnecessary to design unique problems since solutions to many existing problems were readily availableonline. In addition, with reduced room capacities for in person exams, multiple exams needed to becreated. This was accomplished by creating questions which were easily expandable to thedevelopment of new questions. Attempting various types of

During Summer 2020, our office drew uponthe flipped advising approach (Kuhn, Gordon, & Webber, 2006) to create meaningful activitiesthat took place electronically prior to students’ scheduled orientation date. These activities tookplace via an online Education Learning System (i.e., Canvas) and utilized modules withinteractive videos, presentations, and quizzes which assessed students’ learning outcomes.

descriptionsof their circuits. For the microwave and RF engineer, however, these open and short circuitmeasurements are problematic because as one goes higher in frequency, reliable opens and shortsare difficult to implement because of the electromagnetics involved. For this reason, scattering orS-parameters are instead used, where the measurements look at incident and reflected energyfrom the networks in the presence of matched terminations rather than total voltages andcurrents. The measurement of S-parameters is frequently done using an S-parameter multiportanalyzer, with two-port analyzers being the most frequently found since many circuits such asfilters and amplifiers are two-port networks. These S-parameters can be measured as a functionof

networkPedagogical ApproachCollaborative learning through hands-on, inquiry-based activities is very important for K-12students. In the delivery of the camp program, we used collaborative learning and inquiry-basedstrategies. These strategies made not only hands-on activities more engaging but also initiatedpeer-to-peer learning by encouraging skilled students to help their teammates who were not asskilled as themselves. Hands-on activities were designed based on an inquiry-based frameworkdefined in our earlier work8-10. This framework is inspired by Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model.In addition to step-by-step instructions, each of the camp hands-on activities has three componentsto enhance student learning- Reflective Observation, Abstract

The complex andmultidisciplinary nature of these real-world problems is a driving force behind arguments forintegrated STEM approaches to teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms. Indeed, researchershave argued that integration across the STEM disciplines provide the best opportunity forstudents to experience authentic learning environments and that teaching without integration“does not reflect the natural interconnectedness of the four STEM components in the real

The project period is March 1, 2017 to February 29, 2020.  Regarding social cognitive biases, ISE-2 focused on two major components. Implicit bias consists of attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes that we are not aware that we hold and, in turn, influence our actions in an unconscious and unaware manner. Implicit biases often reflect broader stereotypes and cultural narratives about groups and therefore behavior based in implicit biases seems correct
