Group lab activities, using simple and inexpensive materials, were incorporated into thecourse to enhance student engagement and understanding. Throughout a 15 week semester, 10labs were performed. Each lab was completed and submitted during a class period, with studentsworking

context of MSFW students in STEM fields?A. Construct GenerationThe survey instrument in this study was a combination of two existing validated instruments onCommunity Cultural Wealth (CCW) and Funds of Knowledge (FofK). One of the instruments isfrom a conference proceeding on ASEE titled Critically Quantitative: Measuring CommunityCultural Wealth on Surveys [33], which was developed by looking at underrepresented groups inSTEM fields. While the instrument in the study is consistent with Yosso’s [15] framework andgoes deeper in detail about the type of constructs for CCW. For this study, only the social construct(10 items) was used and renamed as social networks. The second instrument comes from a journalpaper titled Recognizing the funds of

-institutional perspectives, thecommunity also brings together teams that are at different stages of the change process, withdifferent levels of experience with changemaking. The inter-cohort aspect of the communityallows us to examine the diffusion of knowledge and practices in the network.Data Collection & AnalysisWe leverage our access to the exhaustive set of meetings to systematically address howtransformative learning, development and exercise of change agency take place in a cross-institutional, cross-cohort community of transformation. To that end, we analyzed the totalpopulation of the monthly CoT sessions (N=31) from 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 academicyears. All teams that were funded at the time (N=21) from the first four cohorts of
financial burdens. Second, the work can remain a livingdocument, which will create less friction as the course is updated over the years.Finally, to serve the stated course goals even better, the author wants to update the class model toone of ungrading [13, 14], specifically standards-based grading [15]. As the top goal is forstudents to fully engage with the laboratory work and to become independent makers, givingthem multiple chances to make a functional product, along with formative feedback to push themtoward mastery, makes a lot of sense. The current class structure is already amenable to thisapproach, so it will be the next experiment that is attempted.References [1] James W Bales, “A project-based introduction to electronics,” in 2011 ASEE

Building transferable skills and enhancing resumes 3. Learning to publicly advocate for and defend work 4. Getting a leg up on graduate or professional school 5. Contributing knowledge and impacting the worldAlthough it has some obstacles and challenges, a paper in the 123rd annual ASEE conference inLouisiana in 2016 demonstrated that undergraduate research still has many benefits, as perceivedby the students themselves [3].

However, I was glad that Idid. This group of students really seemed to understand the intent and would try to out-do eachother with their presentations.Year three:Following the success of year two, I decided this was a pretty good idea and I should formalizethe effort and take it to ASEE as a conference proceeding. During the fall semester fluidmechanics course (F24), I announced early on that I intended to publish the results of this effort;this seemed to energized the class.
