research on the impact of podcast usage in higher education is worthy offurther research using not only self-reporting but course performance data.Three of the thirteen participating course sections in this study are Engineering & Technologycourses. A similar study focusing on students in this major could provide valuable insight on theimpact of podcasting on course outcomes.Limitations of this study include missing survey responses (approximately 1/3 of those surveyedboth during control and treatment phases did not complete the entire survey); the data reliedupon student self-reporting of reading and listening habits; finally, only one podcast was used inthis study.Bibliography1.

Product Design Cycle (RPDC)A Rapid Product Design Cycle (RPDC) was selected as the design project that best met theobjectives of the course and the desired learning outcomes. The RPDC was designed with theprimary aims of: (a) pushing students beyond the conceptual design phase of the design process,and (b) simulating a real-world work environment by: (i) increasing the interdependence betweenstudent teams and (ii) increasing the students’ perceived value of engineering communication. Page 23.218.8The RPDC took place in the last five weeks of the course and was divided into three distinctphases: problem formulation, conceptual design, and detail
oftheir designs. Page 23.876.3The studio model places emphasis on: (a) a content-rich curriculum that links youth to theirenvironment, (b) support and scaffolded discussions with mentors (site leaders and facilitators),and (c) an online network that supports the creation and maintenance of relationships amongprogram participants. The informal character of this program allows youth the freedom toexplore and self-identify with STEM topics.MethodParticipantsYouth in three after-school programs at middle schools in a rural, impoverished, mountainousregion of a mid-Atlantic state were asked to participate in the project. The site leaders explainedthe

-ESP group did not. Our hypotheses were that theexperimental group would attain higher marks on examinations and a higher percentage ofstudents would pass the course (attaining marks of A, B, or C), compared to non-ESP students.The first hypothesis was proven. As shown in Figure 1, ESP students had statistically highergrades in the Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, and the final exam (p < 0.05). ESP students retained ahigher average for Exam 4, which approximated significant value (p = 0.06). Due to a holidaybreak mid-week, only one ESP session was administered to prepare students for Exam 4 and theexam covered two chapters in the textbook. This could be the reason that no significance wasfound on Exam 4. The second hypothesis was proven by comparing
limited time available. The instructor had decided that before embarkingon the project the students should first be exposed to the process chemistry tools noted above.This meant the assignment was presented to the students in the last week of the 3-week course.One of the lessons learned is that it will be more productive to give this assignment on day 1 ofthe course. The general scientific and engineering competences acquired at the BS level, shouldhave prepared them to start items a, b, and c in the assignment.The students also struggled with the “this is not my field” syndrome. Parts a-c of the assignmentrequired exploration of the geological and mineral engineering literatures. Aside from the
semester with reasonable success.While the increases in second year retention are promising, the ultimate goal of the program is toincrease graduation rates at both the college and university levels. We will continue to monitorstudent progression through the math sequence and persistence in the CoE.
