Initialdata was gathered using the Engineering Design Expectancy Value Scale (EDVES) [6], and theresults of that survey will be used to inform the development of a focus group protocol.Together, it is hoped that these data will allow for a better understanding of the impact ofauthentic engineering experiences on novice engineers.ContextOhio Northern University (ONU) is a small, private, primarily undergraduate institution.

The KSO-based survey had 18 questions asking students to rate their ability to perform various sub-activities within the exploration, planning, execution, interpretation, and dissemination researchdomains on a five-point likert scale (Table 1 below). A Qualtrics online survey was sent tostudents enrolled in these classes, taken before and after participating in any CURE-relatedactivities.

. Another goal of the NSF Student Enrollment andEngagement through Connections (SEEC) grant is to increase the diversity ofengineering graduates at ISU. The specific goals of SEEC are to increase thenumber of engineering graduates by 100 per year to obtain a total of about 900per year with approximately 10% from minorities and 20% females12. The key tomeeting these goals is the creation of meaningful connections between ISU andthe state community colleges to support transfer students.

Studentswere also provided with the tools to enable them to become more aware of, and responsible for,evaluating their own level of understanding of the course material during quizzes. As will seen inthis paper, the metrics generated from the tools also provide the instructor an indication of areaswhere the class thinks it understands the material, but actually does not.2.

My intention is that these ideas will prove helpfulto those with less experience.Pre-First Day(1) Plan a first-day activity. Nothing is more frustrating to a student than to feel “left out” or at least “in the dark” at the first class meeting. In a class where intimidation due to size is already a factor, spending the first class pouring over a syllabus is probably not an effective means of engaging the class. Having them scan the syllabus in groups of 2 or 3 and prepare questions about what they did not understand is one means of involving

However, if the presenter discovers a travel conflict, theother author should receive principal authorship if he or she presents the paper and composes thedraft.
