AssistantsAbstract Although motivation in the classroom is often neglected in graduate student training,most instructors and TAs intuitively understand that motivation is critical for effective learning.These intuitions are corroborated by the research on motivation and learning that consistentlyshows that students do not learn well unless they are motivated to learn. In this paper, we present the basics of motivation theories, their impact on studentlearning and their implications for teaching engineering. It is a primer of motivation theories andhow they can be used to inform and direct TAs work with engineering students. This primer wasdeveloped from the perspectives of a researcher of the preparation of future faculty and adeveloper of

efficiencies and cost savings achievedthrough online learning will more likely impact lecture-style courses than smaller courses. Researchers and educators have sought to determine online learning’s effectiveness in amultitude of studies. The United States Department of Education considered the results of manyyears’ worth of data to identify if any overall trends emerged. The researchers ultimately drewtwo major conclusions. First, they found that “online delivery produced a statistically significant,small-to-moderate-size advantage for learning” [5, pp. 30-31]. This conclusion stands in contrastto the commonly held belief of faculty that online learning leads to decreased quality ofeducation. The second finding was that “blended course design

At that same time, a "flipped" approach does not decrease performance forthese outcomes either, suggesting it is a viable alternative to a traditional model.We now turn our attention to the impact of the flipped classroom on higher-order learningoutcomes.

Recently, Baylor Universityhas increased its emphasis on faculty research. With the current curriculum, students are nottruly prepared to support the research initiatives until they graduate. This has prompted a seriesof discussions about shifting the lab experience to the sophomore year. Students would then bebetter prepared for future laboratory and research experiences.

Pickering-Reyna [9] also showed thatstudents who participate in summer bridge programs are more likely to be retained in their major.Tomasko et al.
