Again, intentionality matters in the design of a curricular leadership program when itcomes to measurement of outcomes. From the beginning, a program should develop learningoutcomes that clearly communicate what the participants will learn through their time and effortin the program. Doing so early on allows for the creation of instruments and measures that willcapture student learning during both specific elements of the program and overall.Participant selectionIs the goal of the program to polish diamonds or press coals? That is the fundamental questionguiding the philosophy of selecting students for this program. In other words, are the best andbrightest student

Discussion of commercially-available systems is included as well.The course was designed to be a ten-week long, three-hour course consisting of twenty 75 minlectures. As a 600-level course it was dual-level, intended for the undergraduate seniors and firstyear graduate students in the Electrical Engineering program. Thus, the course had noprerequisites other than senior class standing. Further, no background in integrated circuitfabrication, MEMS, biomedical instrumentation, or any other specialized area was assumed orrequired. Table 1. Topics covered

Faculty Mentoring Program for Women (FMPW) for all tenure-track women and an Impact Seminar Series for men and women designed to increase facultyeffectiveness by developing new ways of integrating teaching, research, and service.The FMPW, which now includes 80 women, was begun in 2000, and folded into the ADVANCEinitiative in 2003. All new tenure track women are invited to participate in the program. Duringthe first years of the program, the women were paired with senior faculty members, mentors,from their college, but not from their department. Due to a shortage of qualified mentors, theprogram adopted a “group mentoring” model in 2004. Now, a group of women from the samecollege are paired with one or two mentors from their college.

The TechSpark Immokalee Case Study on Digital Upskilling in the Construction IndustryAbstractThis research project examines the impact and challenges of a digital education interventiondeveloped for middle school students from an underrepresented community within SouthwestFlorida.

studentsare asked to rate their confidence to perform the following tasks by selecting a number between 0and 100, conduct engineering design, identify a design need, research a design need, developdesign solutions, select the best possible design, construct a prototype, evaluate and test a design,communicate a design, redesign, work as part of a team, most students selected the same score foreach task (they clicked down the line for each grid question). This is possibly due to the fact thatall survey questions were presented on one page via google forms and the survey was given tostudents at the beginning of labs each time using about 10 minutes. Students might have beenoverwhelmed by the amount of questions included and thus did not carefully

It is imperative forcomputer science undergraduates to be prepared to face these issues as they enter the workforce.This paper describes how the design and pedagogical tools applied in a leadership course led togrowth in the ability of these students to effectively confront ethical issues and handlecontroversial topics.

For some engineers, practice might entailconducting analysis and testing on components of a particular design; for others, it might lookmore like managing the range of tests that are conducted throughout product development [11].Nonetheless, engineering practice can comprise a wide range of activities and accompanyingskills, and these might be different from one organization—or job—to the next.The purpose of this paper is to explore the interaction between engineers’ experiences inauthentic practice and the way their organizations facilitate or hinder the development of skillsand dispositions noted as vital in reports and accreditation criteria.

Interviewquestions touched on several areas, including personal mentor experience, motivation andpractices as a mentor, structure of innovative programs, impacts and challenges of student ICPs,and suggestions to improve the student experience. Interviews were conducted remotely viavideo conferencing by two research team members, who were trained with uniform interviewobjectives and skills. Interviews were conducted independently at scheduled times and variedfrom 20-40 minutes in length. The complete recordings of the interviewee responses to thesequestions were transcribed into text and underwent an initial coding of analysis. We then focusedon analyzing our interviewed mentors

Expectancy value theory(EVT) indicates that students will be more motivated to learn topics that they believe will beimportant in their future, due to utility value. Self-efficacy beliefs also contribute to learning.Given this framework, the research
five key changes for practice, including:(1) the balance of power, (2) the function of content, (3) the role of the teacher, (4) theresponsibility for learning, and (5) the purpose and process of evaluation. As a source of bestSangster, J. Page 1practices in pedagogy, this book was the first of its kind encountered by the author, andsubsequently has had the greatest impact on practice. The discussion on the balance of power introduces the idea that students should haveagency in what they are learning and how they are learning it. Not that the instructor shouldabdicate authority entirely, but that it is possible to meet the learning needs of more
