questions each week in an n-of-1 big data approach. This approach has the empirical benefit of allowing more inclusive andpersonalized analyses to draw conclusions. With the aid of a mixed methods quasi-experimentalcomparison study, we used the “site” as the primary independent variable (institutions A and B).The n-of-1 approach emphasizes, rather than collecting small amounts of data on a large sample, the collection a large amount of data on a small sample. Prior errors made in traditional quantitativehuman subject research has led to the n-of-1 movement. The effort focuses on examining eachperson as a unique source of a large volume of observations [24–26] and using a combination ofsmall sample

Indetail, the online program evaluation consists of the pre-program survey with four sections andthe post-program survey with five sections: (a) current knowledge, (b) a scale on perceptions ofentrepreneurship, (c) practice, (d) team and business model, and (e) program evaluation (post-program survey only). The format of the assessment included both open-ended questions andseven-point Likert scales, which ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly

These new directions are an effort to meetthe challenges of: (1) the increasing enrollments, (2) the continualpressures on the curriculum caused by new technologies, and (3) therealization that our students need a more

These supports include a)co-curricular/extracurricular involvement, b) peer support, c) faculty and departmental support,and d) residence programs [13]. National science training programs (STPs) have been implemented at universities toprovide research experiences and student mentorship for these underrepresented groups with theaim to recruit, retain, and support these students. However, these programs vary in their designand targeted major within STEM fields. Certain majors have successfully diversified as a resultof STPs while others remain homogenous.

ThePBL program is unique in several ways: a) it incorporates how people learn to empower studentsto take ownership of their education and gain their knowledge and competencies; b) it placesspecial emphasis on professional competencies as articulated in ABET a-k and Engineer 2020and finally, c) it uses a context of learning engineering by practicing engineering side-by-sidewith engineers.

The standard time limit traditionally imposed on the MCT was eliminatedon the TMCT to allow for adequate time to tactilely interpret each model.After preliminary testing, the TMCT was split into two subtests, A and B, of equal difficulty toallow for faster completion of the test and to measure gains in scores over a weeklong period ofinterventions. In order to create two equal forms, a difficulty index was calculated for each testproblem based on pilot data. After an analysis of the results, subtest A had an average difficultyindex of 0.627 and a standard deviation of 0.163, and form B had a difficulty index of 0.654 andstandard deviation of 0.112.

Student A’s self-assessment of their abilities with the LOs indicated that they werehaving little difficulty with the current LOs as compared to Student B. Student A self-reportedthat after the completion of the assignment, they could do all of the LOs on their own withoutreferring to resources. Their comment was “The process of creating a user defined function camepretty easy to me.” Their comment on any difficulties was “The only thing I had trouble withwas knowing how much information to input into the user
