Therefore, this paper aims to answer thefollowing research question: In what ways does sense of belonging differ across different first-year engineering design project courses? MethodsTo collect sense of belonging data, a survey was adapted from the “Sense of Belonging atImperial College London” study which was an adapted survey based on the validated Harvard-Panorama Student Perception Survey scale [20] and Yorke’s sense of belonging in highereducation scale [21]. This sense of belonging survey was used for its

The community college system feeds two largepublic university systems, the 23-campus comprehensive California State University (CSU)system, and the 10-campus research-oriented University of California (UC) system, as well asnumerous private and out-of-state universities. Ideally, students should be able to complete all oftheir lower-division coursework at a community college and then transfer to a four-yearinstitution to complete the last two years, thus earning a bachelor’s degree in approximately fouryears.In the 2006-2007 academic year, for instance, 55% of California State University (CSU)graduates and 28% of University of California (UC) graduates began

Given that there was already a standing faculty Committee on theGraduate School, chaired by John Bunker, Lewis’ committee tasked Bunker with a fullassessment of the situation and the associated “dangers” of sponsored research.36Seeking to properly assess the situation, Bunker called a meeting of the directors of some of thelargest MIT laboratories. Given the rumors that began circulating, these directors arrived to themeeting feeling that they had been called to the carpet.

This manner ofworking on the task is the reason this episode was coded for Handout/Instructor Authority. Thelaughter and joking language used also suggest that the team does not value of this part of thetask, but are simply complying with instructor by filling out the worksheet (Worksheeting).When collaborative efforts of the group fail to resolve this confusion, the group members resortto independent work in order to complete this section.

construction that, most ofthe times, is not at all ‘logical’ (Neto, 1998).17 Each student has his own difficulties andmisconceptions, which lead to a distinguishable learning-teaching path that must beidentified.Daily examples and simple conceptual questions during classes have been used to clarifysome ideas, but they were shown to be insufficient. It was necessary to create sets ofquestions for the students to work on. These questions had to be very objective and the goal isto test basic concepts, giving students the chance to ‘think’ physics. During tutorial sessionsstudents are invited to share their experiences related with those sets of questions. Someinteresting discussions revealed common misconceptions.
