study focused primarily on short-term outcomes that were specific to relevantcoursework and content, which limits the types of conclusions that can be drawn. Future researchshould explore relevant dynamics in greater detail, including the longer-term effects from suchexperiences, outcomes that extend well beyond the scope of pair programming, the conditionsunder which cross-national groupwork is most effective, and the ways in which these findingsmay or may not be similar for other forms of collaborative learning (e.g., problem-basedlearning, jigsaw classrooms). Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research designswould be helpful for providing an in-depth understanding of these issues.References[1] S. Freeman, S. L. Eddy, M. McDonough

, as such, we do not work to account forstudent variation in student responses to the interview in terms of the teacher differences.The interviews were semi-structured: interviewers were given a set of themes on which to focusand sample questions. The expectation was that interviewers would engage in a conversationwith the interviewee in which they worked to elicit student’s thoughts about 5 focal themes. Asa result, we consider the interviews a “negotiated text” 4 (p. 663) that was co-constructed throughthe conversation of the interviewer and interviewee(s). For the purpose of this paper, we focuson 2 thematic categories, including: 1. What is the student’s understanding of the engineering design process? 2. What STEM concepts did the

The BOK I had 15 outcomes, while the BOK II has 24. The BOKII divides the 24 outcomes into the following categories: four foundational, 11 technical, and 9professional. There is overlap between the outcomes described in both editions of the BOK andthe outcomes included in ABET‟s criterion 3 (a-k). The BOK II is also more closely tied toBloom‟s taxonomy, as is reflected in the careful choice of active verbs to indicate the level

Emotional arousal, that happens during challenging situations, can also help peopleinform themselves of their expectations of self-efficacy. High levels of emotional arousal canhamper an individual’s performance by increasing anxiety and stress.3.
