Each day was divided into morning and afternoon sessions of approximately 2.5 hours.At the end of the day, the students reflected on what they learned and participated in small groupdiscussions. A brief schedule of the program is shown in Table 1.Throughout the camp, students were exposed to “college life” at UW. During the 1.5-hour lunchbreak, students and camp staff walked through campus to the student center and purchased lunchwith UW meal cards provided by the camp. Students were encouraged to

This reference also comes from a field outside of STEM, and acknowledges student engagementin activities to address human needs, while listing reciprocity as a key component. Furthermore, acknowledging the reference ofexperiential learning and its connection to John Dewey13, Paulo Freire, and social justice/change8,32,14,43, which further contribute tothe human aspect that is embedded in service learning9. These components directly connect to support of underrepresented studentpopulations, and need to be highlighted in STEM service-learning programs in order to alter current concerns as it relates to retainingthese student populations.

Anaccurate measurement reflects the true value (possibly within an error range or degree ofconfidence), while a precise measurement is consistent and repeatable.14 It is possible for ameasurement to be highly accurate but not precise (repeatable), or to be very precise but notaccurate (reflecting the true value). Figure 1 depicts the difference between accuracy andprecision in scientific measurement. Figure 1: Accuracy is the proximity of measurement results to the [reference] true value; precision, the repeatability, or reproducibility of the measurement.

How the students themselves are perceivingtheir own learning environment is vitally important to their persistence in engineering[12][14]. A second study suggests that, though many behaviors overlap, some aspects ofteammate behavior viewed as important to students are not reflected in most instructor-created peer assessments. This study lists eleven behavior components important toteammates in engineering education settings. The more unexpected components of poor teambehavior include expecting teammates to contribute beyond their “fair share”, beingunwilling to take on tasks beyond clearly articulated

Faculty members take on the role offacilitators to the learning process of the students, set the scope, pose challenges, provideguidance, and be partners to the students. While student-centered learning may at first glanceappear less formal and structured, it is certainly richer in opportunities for students to developtheir own learning styles. At the same time, the teacher is challenged even more than intraditional teaching, as the lessons change from a monologue style to a constructive dialogue.This also poses a higher demand on utilizing assessment techniques that reflect the
