For focus groups, the two participant groups (n=10) consist of: 1.)six students who did not report to supervisors A or B during the AY 17-18 and 2.) four studentswho did not report to supervisor C during the AY 17-18.Hearing StatusEight participants identified themselves as deaf and two of them declared themselves hard ofhearing. Seven participants have profound (>90 dB) hearing loss, two participants have severe(61 dB to 90 dB) hearing loss, and one participant does not know the level of hearing loss.Four participants do not use hearing assistive devices while five participants use digital hearingaids and one participant uses both a digital hearing aid and a cochlear implant.Demographic

In summary, anticipated outcomesupon conclusion of this project are (a) development of an EPSRI tool capable of assessingstudents’ process safety decision-making, (b) construction of a virtual plant environment wheremultiple real-world factors may influence a students’ process safety decisions, and (c)identification of best practices for integrating virtual environments into the classroom.MethodsEPSRI Instrument Development The EPSRI reflects the structure of the EERI [13] and DIT2 [12], which contain fivedilemmas, followed by three decision options, and twelve

Using UDL, instruction isframed around three guiding principles: (a) multiple means of engagement (i.e., considering howto engage students through a variety of pathways), (b) multiple means of representation (i.e.,Running Head: Project CoMET RETproviding content through multiple methods), and (c) multiple means of action and expression:(i.e., providing opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding in multiple ways).Each principle is further delineated by guidelines, and subsequent checkpoints.The

This feedback by fellowstudents (lab instructor and peer mentor) is particularly useful since they have direct experiencebeing on a team in the course.These Operating Agreements are referred to throughout the term when teams show indicators ofstruggling. Through our scaffolding, we guide the teams to address a priori what they would doin situations such as: teammate A has missed the last two meetings, teammate B won’t reply togroup messages, teammate C won’t get their work done on time, teammate D keeps rewritingeveryone else’s work, etc. Since most team conflicts fall into one of the scenarios covered by theOperating Agreement, we can guide the team back to
curve, while asecond group performed a calibration of FAEEs in oil using the same technique (Fig. 1B).However, the main challenge emerged because some benchtop results were inconclusive as nophase separation was observed, leading to many frustrations to the students. It was later concludedby the students that at some instances; a saponification reaction was induced, leading to anemulsion in the reaction.[10]Figure 1. CSTR Apparatus used for the Biodiesel production (A) and calibration curve for FAEEs in soybean oil (B).During CSTR testing, a maximum setpoint temperature of 65 °C could be achieved. The fluidtemperature inside the reactor was recorded as a function of time during testing; it varied due tolimitations in mixing and heat transfer

The interview protocol consisted of questionsthat invited participants to (a) talk about their understandings of reflection, (b) create a“reflective inventory” where we asked each student to share stories of engagements they hadwith reflection (both in school and out of school), (c) share their thoughts related to technology,and (d) share their impressions about possible reactions undergraduate might have to reflectionactivities.We interviewed six full-time undergraduate students, five from a research university (which werecruited via a listserv that reaches technically oriented students) and a
