final section was an open opportunity for participants to write any comment,thought, or idea they had after the session.Our inaugural session in 2011 was titled, “Preparing for Global Leadership: CulturalCompetence and Connections with and for International Students and Colleagues.” The panelincluded students and faculty from STEM fields across campus, with representation from thefollowing countries: Argentina, Italy, Canada, Haiti, West Africa, Mexico, China, India, andGermany. They shared experiences and answered questions regarding the following topics:• What does it mean to be culturally competent?• How does cultural competence play a part in mentoring students or relationships withprofessors in graduate school?• How can we promote cultural
Behavioral Control Figure 1: Model of the Theory of Planned Behavior10Intention is what one has in mind to do or bring about, and is considered the immediatepredecessor of behavior10. A person must intend to engage in a behavior before they can engagein a behavior. Factors such as their intensity, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived ability mayhave mediating affects on intention. Simply put, if a person believes they are capable ofbehaving in a certain manner, believes that the rewards of behaving in that manner areworthwhile and beneficial, and has the support of their peers, family and friends, they will intendto engage in the behavior.Behavior, then, is the observable response in a given

This phase also allows the developers to focus on the selection of the best course material,lab and homework exercises, and presentation methods in the traditional lecture format. In the second phase, the focus shifts to distance learning strategies, iterative refinement of thecourses, and collaboration with other peer institutions. All lectures will be provided via I2, butleft available on the class website for later or repeated viewing by students. An additional goal ofthis phase is to begin incorporating the additional research developments into the courses. This isdone through a variety of methods including, but not limited to: a) having students in the classreview recent

A measure of the success of the distance experiment is that there are asmany students enrolled at the Open University of Sri Lanka as in all the Sri Lankan conventionaluniversities put together.However, the distance option still suffers from problems. There is a high failure rate because ofdiminished peer interaction, lack of full time commitment and other reasons. But the problem ismost severe in engineering and (to a lesser extent) in the physical sciences where sometimesthere are more academic staff

ProcessThe literature of capstone TDR describes variations on a generally applied industry approachusing TDRs associated with design gates or phases as described above. Industry approaches aredescribed in various standards (e.g., IEEE Std. 1028-1997) appropriate for the designapplication. The TDR process is a peer evaluation of a design as it is developed and/or before itis deployed for development, fabrication or production. Peer reviewers are acquired fromindependent pools in order to provide experienced, unbiased, and objective design oversight19. Similar to spaced TDRs in industry, Wilson, Cambron, and McIntyre20 describe a capstoneTDR process that requires reviews throughout the year where students are used as independentreviewers (see also, 4

Scaffolding12 was suggested as a strategy to help students through difficulties withimportant aspects of the domain that seem easy or obvious to “experts” like the instructor. Keyscaffolding strategies include breaking a large task into smaller parts, working in peer groups and prompting13-16; as students gain confidence and competency in a topic, the instructor removes thescaffolding. The efficacy of scaffolding combined with team-based learning principles isinvestigated in several studies9-11, 16 17.

interviews were transcribed andanalyzed using open-coding procedures to identify ways women experience the relationshipbetween their gender and their engineering identities, their experiences with male students (e.g.on design teams, studying for exams, completing homework assignments), and their strategiesfor navigating gendered dynamics such as peers who did not value their input or who expectedthem to take on certain roles. The participants rarely responded directly to questions aboutperceived gendered experiences, but when talking about their experiences in classes or on teams,did describe ways in which they had negotiated their space and their identity, earning respect ordemonstrating competence to gain a voice at the table.

the information is presented seems valuable.” “Posted lectures with comment great for review and homework, but trying to listen to them before class was overwhelming. Good tool but I prefer in-class lectures.”Instructor PerspectiveFrom an instructor perspective, making the lectures in advance took time and the resulting fileswere very large. Creating additional problems for in-class work also took additional time.However, I found it more enjoyable to spend class time interactively working problems. Peer-to-peer instruction was observed. Students questions while
cannot wait for every student to finish, but if you constantlycut them short, they will not participate in the activity and instead will wait for you to answer theproblem for them. Also, immediately after the activity, relevant discussion or sharing of studentwork is necessary to retain engaged students. In the observations, without a planned follow-upfor each active learning exercise, students who were off-task and then engaged in the activeexercise were often observed returning to their off-task work. Likewise, students who finishedan activity before their peers would participate in off-task activities, but a powerful summary ordiscussion of the exercise would often reengage those students in lecture.To illustrate the benefits to active

The current popularity of highereducation leads to having easily accessible locations that can attract a broad spectrum of highlyqualified faculty, efficient staff members, and enthusiastic students. The appropriate curricularoptions, majors, etc. of the satellite campus is determined based on the specialized

In order to encourage students to be succinctin their writing, a maximum page length limit of five pages per task, including tables and figures,while using 12 point font text and 1" margins was imposed. Students were warned about the needto include properly labeled table headers and graph axes labels including appropriate dimensionalunits.

The report required them to not only present their experimental resultsbut also critically evaluate their findings in relation to theoretical predictions, providing insightsinto the real-world implications of pipeline design. This process fostered a deeper understandingof fluid flow in practical systems and reinforced the importance of clear communication, both interms of technical writing and in presenting complex scientific findings to peers and instructors.The handout given to the students is included as Appendix 1 for reference.Two lab sessions were dedicated to

An example is an engineering student whobelieves that the best way to help reduce the number of students leaving engineering is to offertutoring for their peers so that they can better adapt to the culture of engineering [48]. While thisstudent demonstrates social justice motivation, they engage in a superficial solution withinexisting social systems and social conventions that does not deal with structural causes of theproblem and has no critique of engineering [48]. Although tutoring supports the students beingtutored to be successful in the current system, because the student does not

Item categories on the instrument were drawn from Bransford’sHow People Learn (HPL) framework 1, a framework that is acknowledged as a practical way oforganizing what we know about teaching and learning today. Participant responses wereaggregated into four categories that derive from this framework (learner, knowledge, assessment,and community) and investigate how teaching methods
