Pre- and post-module results from Module 1 (a) and Module 2 (b).In Module 2, the proper use of language for algorithm commands increased from 68% to 95%and the quality of input prompts and printed outputs improved from 31% to 56% (Figure 2 (b)).However, despite improvements in clarity and comprehensibility, we observed that prompts andoutput messages often lacked specificity. For example, instead of detailed prompts such as“Enter the length and radius of the barrel in centimetres,” many students used vague messageslike “Enter the length and radius in centimetres” or “Enter the length and radius of the barrel.”To address this, we plan to develop guided activities that emphasize the importance of preciseand

Nearly 24% of students identify as African American and 15% as Hispanic. When genderis considered, 21% of SPCEET students identify as women. SPCEET comprises ninedepartments, including CEE, the study’s target department. The CEE department enrollment wasover 700 students during the Fall 2022 semester. Of these students, 21% were African Americanand 20% were Hispanic. The department outperformed the college with women representation atjust over 27%.C.

It is a group of professors who allteach engineering labs and have a strong interest in improving their students’ writing skills andlaboratory reports. The participants described above volunteered to participate and receivedfunding to attend the first meeting of the CoP.

To betterunderstand the adoption data that has been collected, surveys were sent to training participantsafter the school year had started to better understand how they intend to use or are using theinformation from the trainings. While intentions to behavior changes do not always correlatestrongly to actual behavior changes, articulating specific things they intend to do does increasethe likelihood of the intentions being realized [17]. The relevant questions in the survey were: • Even before participating in this workshop, I planned to use Gradescope in at least one of my courses during the upcoming year.

strategies can be categorized into threeoverarching themes: planning, facilitation, and explanation. Planning strategies are those that aninstructor uses when developing an activity and can include getting or incorporating studentfeedback into their activities. Facilitation strategies are those that an instructor uses during theactive learning activities to help better engage the students in the activity, such as walkingaround the room and answering questions. Explanation strategies focus on how an instructor canintroduce or give context to an active learning activity such as an instructor relating the activityback to the lecture or describing why they are doing the activity in the first place. Much of the previous research focused on active

At first, we planned to use OPTIC, but pilot observations atmultiple institutions with POGIL, lecture, and laboratory classes, revealed that OPTIC workswell for POGIL, but not for lecture. Similarly, COPUS focuses on practices involving clickerquestions and Peer Instruction and is less suited for POGIL. Other protocols had similarlimitations - SEcLo and ELCOT focus on engineering, while PORTAAL and OSE focus onspecific settings.

GROW: An Equity-Minded Framework to Support the Integration of Equity and Inclusion in Learning2020 brought awareness to many issues surrounding equity and inclusion across the nation. In collegesand universities around the country, open forums on systemic racism and gender bias allowed newvoices to shine through and strategic plans on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be reimagined. Acommon theme that has emerged from these discussions is the critical need to effectively integrateequity and inclusion into the teaching and learning environment. As equity-minded institutions, we havea responsibility to not only meet our students where they are at, but also our faculty. Thus, wedeveloped a framework that provides faculty with a self

barriers to graduating and extend the time to graduate for transferstudents. To support transfer students, 2- and 4- year universities need to establish articulationagreements that guarantee credits will transfer toward required coursework within the major. Forexample, the state of California has well-defined agreements between community colleges and theCalifornia State University system (CSU) as well as the University of California system (UC) [5].Students can build their transfer plan of study on the ASSIST.org platform based on the existingagreements by defining their 2-year college and the major they would like to transfer to in the 4year university[5].

Develop the selected design concept into a preliminary design typically including CAD models and a system performance model; this step often involves lower-level trade studies. 5. Develop a detailed design ready for prototype manufacturing; formal engineering drawings document the design, and detailed analyses show compliance to requirements. 6. Validate the design through prototype testing carefully planned to confirm that the design meets the specified requirements and solves the defined problem.Capstone students struggle with each of these steps because they lack experience with theprocess.

For the model, topics were chosen based on the cadets’ perceived knowledge ofthe topic and how well they could be understood by a younger audience who has less knowledgeof the field of study. Trusses, the inherent stability of triangles, and buckling behavior werechosen as key topics for the module. These three topics are important aspects of civilengineering, and they can be easily understood when incorporated with general knowledge, toybuilding materials (K’NEX), and real-world examples. Once the topics for the model weredetermined, the cadets met with their advisors to discuss a plan

Students were not compelled toattend face-to-face courses and were given the option to pursue virtual alternatives. In this case,we were able to offer identical material and synchronous instruction during the laboratoryactivity to virtual students.

To further increase the usability of the CS,we plan to add local caching, additional communication interfaces, monitoring capabilities, security with aPUF (Physical Unclonable Function) [38], and a field provisioning/troubleshooting tool capable ofcommunication via Bluetooth. The development of local caching will enable the mitigation of data loss byutilizing the CS software to store small amounts of data.

Unlike ERT, online education involves a careful design process, withconsideration of a multitude of options depending on the context of the course, that usually takessix to nine months to plan, and improves during the second and third semester of teaching [2]. Infact, the common stigma that online learning is less effective than face-to-face instruction iscontradicted by research, which details the success of planned online courses [2]. Importantly,while online education requires a supportive community to be successful, under ERT the normalinstructor support resources are often overwhelmed [2].
