We will describe how these classes were delivered and present preliminaryanalyses of data used to study student attitudes, expectations and learning from the studentand faculty perspectives.This paper reports on feedback collected from student surveys, student interviews andinstructor reflections. The study is based on data collected during Fall 2021 at a predominatelyundergraduate institution. Each class has 30 students enrolled.

American Industrial Arts Association(AIAA, now ITEEA) released Standards for Industrial Arts Programs [4] in 1981). During the1980s and corresponding with the release of Standards for Industrial Arts Programs, thetechnology and engineering education profession was transitioning from a content grounded inindustrial practices of the day to a content base that more broadly reflected technologicalproducts, systems, and processes. This paradigm shift brought about a name change and cursoryupdate of the AIAA standards in 1985 to Standards for Technology Education Programs [5].ITEEA’s Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology (STL) [6]was developed throughout the 1990’s, published in 2000, and last updated in 2007

attainable goal that would give some foundation for their next time through thecourse. Since a number of these students were unable to successfully complete labs in the firstsemester – they were much more focused on trying to pass the “book” modules – my second-semester requirement shown above required passing only half of the labs.Next, I set the “A” level. Part of this was obvious – of course an “A” student should pass alltopics and labs in the course! Beyond this, I also required some evidence of exceptional work.This was reflected in my adoption of the “EMRF” grading discussed above. An “E” on a quizmeant that there were no errors (or only trivial errors) and that the student clearly demonstratedunderstanding of the outcome. An “M” meant that a

However, the rubric required students to discern between a “minorerror,” a “minor logic error” and a “significant conceptual error,” such that poor performance onthe calibration task may have been reflective of students’ inability to discern between these typesof mistakes.In this study we will examine preliminary data collected in an engineering statics course toobserve whether our students follow trends observed with postdiction calibration in other fields.Specifically, we are interested in determining if: 1) High-performing students are better calibrated than low

identity draws on three constructs reflected in similarresearch in physics, math, and science broadly: subjective interest in the subject, external feelings ofrecognition, and competency beliefs. That these concepts overlap with related frameworks forunderstanding students’ motivation to succeed and perform in STEM education is perhaps unsurprising,but results in a complicated picture of how EI forms and what role it might play in students’ trajectories.To disentangle expectancy value constructs of motivation and EI measures of competency beliefs, wouldrequire a simultaneous consideration of both- an approach absent in the current literature[8].

When the natural frequency of vibration of a structurecoincides with the natural frequency of excitation, resonance occurs, leading to excessivedisplacements [1]. These excessive displacements can cause an annoying oscillation in minorcases or can cause catastrophic failures

reflect regularly to guide their own improvement. While focusing on one area ata time – be it asking ‘better’ questions, building rapport, identifying signs of a fixed mindset, orany other aspect of tutoring – tutors are able to incrementally improve – and share their progresswith their Elevate cohort.Finally, Elevate trains Tutor Fellows to try to “work themselves out of a job.” This is whatdifferentiates them from many other tutors. Often, tutors will answer questions directly. Theywill explain things as magic… out of thin air. Elevate attempts to minimize the distribution of“magic beans” because each time they are gifted, the student becomes more dependent on thetutor – which is the opposite of what should be sought. In reality, the student
