Additionally, as vacancies increase, so too does the need for studentswith graduate degrees (master’s and doctoral level) in the field [4]. However, in the United States(U.S.) participation in graduate schools is more commonly from international students. Accordingto the survey by the Computing Research Association in 2019, almost 70% of the master’s degreesin computer sciences and 80% in engineering were awarded to international students [5].Meanwhile, 62% of the Ph.D.’s in computer sciences were awarded to international students,followed by 67% in engineering [5]. Yet, participation of domestic students pursuing graduatedegrees in computing is less than 30% in the

For these coding items, a single rater completed initial coding ofall entries, and the second rater acted as reviewer, revising codes for clarity and consistency asneeded.Emergent Themes In addition to the structured coding items, each rater independently identified a second setof emergent codes, indicating themes not previously identified in either prior research or thediary entries. The independently derived themes were discussed with the project team andmerged into a second set of four thematic codes: social responsibility

One study (NSF #1621344) is designed to develop, pilot, and validate a set of performance-based tasks delivered within a simulated classroom environment in order to improve pre-service elementary teachers’ ability to facilitate goal-oriented discussions in science and mathemat- ics. The purpose of the second study (NSF #1813254) is to examine and gather initial validity evidence for assessments designed to measure and build K-5th grade science teachers’ CKT about matter and its interactions in teacher education settings. The third grant (NSF #1813476) is focused on

This study focuses on comparing student perceptions of faculty and TA support acrosstraditional (pre-COVID) and remote learning as necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tworesearch questions guided this comparison.Research Question #1 (RQ1):Do student perceptions of faculty and TA support differ in traditional vs. remote learning?On traditional college campuses, faculty support their students both directly and indirectly duringclass time (e.g. lecture, in-class discussion) and

In addition, the orientation sessions have only been offered a handful of times whichis another contributing factor to limited data. The intent at this stage in the project was to use thesurvey results to gather some high level feedback from student participants to help determinestudent impressions of the event and, more specifically, what aspects of the orientation resonatedwith the students the most.It would be worthwhile to conduct a more expansive long-term study to follow-up with thesestudents to investigate the overall impact of the orientation session on their first-year experience.In addition, it would be informative to survey students who did not

Grades are based on a weighted averageof two statics exams (40%), one dynamics exam (26%), six quizzes (18%), and two projects(16%). Students must earn a minimum grade of C in the course and at least a 70% exam average tomove on to follow-up courses that require Engineering Mechanics as a prerequisite. Over the pastfour years, the overall passing rate for this course is 72%. The average passing rate was 70%,78%, 70%, and 68%, respectively, from 2017 to 2020.For the fall semester of 2020, the enrollment in the two sections of the course were 45 and 33.

Instructors now had theability to use the copy and paste function to speed up the correction of common errors anddecrease the time spent grading and organizing paperwork. The feedback provided throughonline corrections also enabled more clarity for students as a well-developed, detailed responsetextbox could include a complete demonstration of a challenging algebraic manipulation requiredto solve for an embedded variable within an equation. The time demand for an instructor toprovide hand-written, high-level detail on proper use and manipulation of engineering equationsis prohibitive. However, when

This paper presents on thethree years year of a multistage research project funded by the National Science Foundation(NSF). The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory research design,which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successful transfer fromcommunity college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’ innovative capabilityinfluences such transfer capacity. The goals of this research are: (1) to explore the pedagogicalpractices used to support non-traditional students in community colleges to persist in engineeringand science majors, (2) to understand whether such practices are effective
