We asked them to respond to a simple monthly check-inform (i.e., short reflective prompts) available online in our Learning Management System.During summer 2022, thanks to funding from the grant, a Makerspace student staff was available to helpfaculty who wanted to come in during the summer months to practice using the equipment. No datacollection was conducted during that time.The second year of our study has been focused on implementation of the faculty project ideas, leveragingthe makerspace, into their courses. To check in on progress in the middle of the second year, one-on-onesemi-structured interviews were carried out by a trained graduate student research assistant in
questions to assess the impact ofboth course design as well as other factors which affect the complex issue of self-efficacy.Clearly, combinations of new online methods such as SEAS and the user-modified SALG whichprovide quantitative data with qualitative information from student reflection papers haveprovided the best insight so far into the correlation between course design and overallperceptions of student self-efficacy.v) Finally, I have observed that there is a proportional tendency between the amount ofassessment done and students’ negative impression of the value of assessment (“assessmentburnout”). This has taught me an important cautionary lesson for future assessment efforts. Also,the more “informal” and directly linked to classroom

However, there is only limited research examiningteaching collaborations that involve among undergraduate and graduate students in a course.In this study, we examine the complementarity of roles between IAIs and TAs in the remoteteaching and learning in the Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University’s first-year coursetitled Integrated Cornerstone Design Projects

In supporting best practices, thereport emphasized the need for large-scale studies to determine best practices and provideinformation on generalizability.1 The Interagency Education Research Initiative, formed inresponse to that report, was created to support research and develop a knowledge base to“support the development, testing, and implementation of scalable and sustainable interventionsto improve teaching and learning, particularly through the use of technology.”2 Additionally,funding agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF) require a “broader impact”component in all grant proposals.3

In theexisting research and practice, the evaluation of engineering ethics education focusingon students' learning output has produced many positive results. On this basis, fromthe perspective of the sustainable development of the curriculum and benefiting morestudents, this study proposes

high school seniors report spending 10 hours or more per week online. The research shows that teens who spend more time on screen activities are more likely to be unhappy. 4) Mental Health/Insecurity - iGens are less happy. They feel more anxiety and depression which can lead to suicide. 5) Being Irreligious – Less students identify with a religious group. Only 28% of high school seniors attend church. If religion conflicts with science, iGens must choose sides, with science usually being the default. 6) Isolation/Safety and Community – There is a strong desire for safety in all areas of life. They smoke less, drink less, and drive less. iGens want emotional safety as well, especially on campus. They

The curricular modifications were definedwith the help of an external advisory board and were previously reported.[3] A key inputfrom the advisory board was to add more emphasis on analysis; that is, analysis-baseddecisions in design. A key element involved with improved analytical skills is mathematical(“numerical”) skills.

To remaincurrent with advances in technology and heightened industry expectations, degree programs mustcontinuously reevaluate their curricula to ensure that graduates have the requisite skillsets andcompetencies to compete in today's – and tomorrow's – job market. Today’s students are beingtrained for jobs that did not exist even ten years ago. Indeed, many current jobs will be obsoleteten years from now. What remains unknown is how can we best prepare our students for this ever-changing job market?To address this, we have been researching best practices to produce top-tier students and foundthat continuous faculty development is key.
