In each session, a panel of three tenured faculty (one senior and two recently tenured)spoke about what was required for success and answered junior faculty questions. Following thethree sessions, the junior faculty had lunch with senior administrators and a discussion with theengineering dean.A particular problem in new faculty integration is bringing women into departments in whichfew or no women currently work. We started a women in engineering research network toconnect junior and senior women in all engineering departments, and thereby attain a criticalmass for effective peer-mentoring. The network

-structured interviews allowed us to gather student perspectives on a variety of issues that theyconsidered to be relevant. In this paper, we present the analysis of the interviews. Our analysisfinds that students had three primary sources from which they deduce what they are expected todo, and how to do it: research experience prior to beginning their program, their PhD advisor, andtheir peers. Each of these sources helps students understand different kinds of expectations, withadvisors providing primarily high-level guidance on what tasks to accomplish, and peers helpingeach other with lower-level tasks. Many students began the program anticipating more hands-onsupport from their advisor, and instead found themselves relying more on their labmates

The intention behind using this nudge strategy is to allow studentsto compare their behavior with their peers. The description of the mechanism used to deliverthis nudge strategy is as follows: First, after the end of each lecture, the student will benudged to write the reflection with a general message in the push notification, i.e., “Lecture(Number) is open to write a reflection for (class code).” We will name this nudge Reminder1.0 for future reference.For the second push notification, students will be nudged with a message after six hours, i.e.,“Reminder!

Effective engineering education will require us to understand how students developboth skills and a concept of engineering design. At a large Midwestern public university wecompare 100 students’ initial conceptions in design and response to design tasks both before andafter a 2-day, peer mentor led, design activity program which preceded the beginning of the firstyear in engineering. During the program, students were led through two design activities: onefocusing on idea generation and customer requirements; the second focusing on a design, buildand test activity. In addition, there were faculty presentations and discussions led by peermentors. We

These practices include instructor-formed teams that do notisolate underrepresented groups, establishing team policies through team contracts oroperation agreements, and providing accountability through peer-evaluations [3].Google’s research on teams revealed that the highest functioning teams providepsychological safety where team members trust one another enough to share theirconcerns

To solve the problem of slow start with poorplanning, the project is divided into six tasks; the first two are to initiate students individuallyinto the project, as teams are to be formed only during the fourth week of semester. Theremaining tasks are for when teams are formed. It is expected that by the time the teams areformed, each student is already familiar with the project and this is shown via continuous onlinediscussions as well as written reports. Students who contribute more towards the project,evidenced by online discussions as well as CATME student peer evaluation results, are givenbonus marks.

The students were asked to submit their work as an excel “simulator” and toinvestigate the effect of the shaft speed on the overall calculations. The second assignment askedthe students to independently research on a new tribology-related topic and to make apresentation to the class based on their assigned topic. The topic was chosen by the instructorfrom the Handbook of Tribology. In all instances, the students were asked to evaluate and gradeall their peers

. Instead, thestudents in this section were asked to watch the podcasts (recorded from one of the other tworegular class meetings) within 48 hours of the scheduled class. The topic lasted for three 50-minute class meetings. At the end of the cluster of classes for this topic, a homework assignmentwas completed and a quiz was administered (in person) to each student. Our results show thatenhanced podcasting appears to be a viable means to replace some face-to-face class meetings,but its many pitfalls outweigh its benefits. Students report a perceived decreased amount oflearning that we attribute to the lack of social interactions with peers and instructor and thedecreased motivation level to use the podcasts. On the other hand, enhanced podcasting

Strategies Implemented in the STEP Program Three key issues negatively impact student success in engineering; these issues are especiallyrelevant to the target student population addressed in this paper. Issue I: inadequate academicpreparedness from high school. The target students, by definition, fall into this category. TheirACT scores are 2-4 points below their peer cohort admitted in the CEAS at UC. In addition, onthe UC Math Placement Test (MPT), which is used as a basis for first math course placement,the target students typically score below the cutoff for placement in Calculus I, the first course inthe engineering math sequence and a prerequisite for Physics I. Issue II: inability of the studentsto adapt socially to their new environment1

of the professor is to motivate the students to learn. The grading andfeedback process can significantly affect the learning process of the student. For some students,the feedback they receive on exams and assignments may be the only individualizedcommunication they obtain from the professor. At a minimum, the instructor needs tocommunicate why the students deserve the grade they received. The amount of feedback canvary. For problems done incorrectly, some instructors may point out where the error was so thestudent can avoid the same mistake in the future. Others may allow the student another chance atthe problem with the hope that the student is able to detect her/his own mistake, improving theirlearning. Writing detailed feedback can be

The efficacy of the techniques in increasing student engagement with the coursematerial and student understanding is self-assessed through a survey administered to the studentsat the end of the Fall 2019 semester. This assessment method is limited due to the small samplesize studied (nine students), however, the data suggests that the use of these strategies may behelpful in student education. From the assessment, it was found that guided notes wereconsidered helpful by students, and they were particularly helpful for studying. Online discussionusing Piazza was not appreciated
