As an educator, they utilized equitable teaching practices and encouraged student agency to ensure positive learning outcomes. Their first year of PhD research focused on undergraduate student perceptions of social responsibility in STEMM, with special emphasis on science communication and policy advocacy, as well as the intersection of institutional culture and transformational change towards cultivating more inclusive and equitable access for underrepresented STEMM students. They are currently exploring undergraduate perceptions of STEM mentorship within student organizations and near-peer mentorship between undergraduate student mentors and K-12

courses (based on a lecture-homework format) offer fewopportunities to provide individual students with descriptive feedback. This paper describes ourdepartment’s recent experiences using flipped classroom instruction to improve feedback andattainment in our introductory thermodynamics course in Chemical Engineering at the Universityof Washington. In our implementation of a flipped class, traditional lectures are replaced with20~40 minute instructional videos that incorporate course content, laboratory demonstrations,and how-to tutorials. Students view and take notes on these materials outside of class, and takean online “Prep Quiz” that provides feedback on their basic understanding before coming toclass. Once in class, students spend most of
demarcated, which makes contextual conditions important tothe analysis [8]. A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio

All subsequentanalysis combines observations gathered from CUReS and BUILD participants.REU ProgrammingCUReS and BUILD visiting scholars were assigned a faculty and graduate student mentor (anarrangement the authors have found highly effective in past iterations of this REU (Cousins et al.,2018)) and a corresponding laboratory upon their arrival on campus. During the ten-week program,these students spent most of their available time conducting high-level research in their assignedresearch group. The laboratory settings varied significantly based on the faculty

Because our camp instructors are engineering facultyresearching complex problems related to power and energy, we are able to transition researchproblems into applications for high school students that allow them to learn and master conceptsduring the Smart Grid camp. The goal of this paper is to share our experience and knowledge indesigning an effective precollege education outreach activity by collaborating with graduatestudents, undergraduate students (including visiting Research Experience Undergraduate (REU)students), and faculty members across several universities.

develop program outcomes that reflect the unique nature of your program and embed theCriterion 3 a-k outcomes within them. Then you need to assess how your students perform withrespect to your program outcomes.Program: The assessment part is easy. The program outcomes are accomplished through thecourses we teach, and every professor provides a direct assessment of student performancethrough course grades. It the students pass all of the courses, we can then conclude that theyhave met all of the outcomes.Expert: You cannot use course grades alone to assess the achievement of your programoutcomes. Unless there is a clear one-to-one correspondence between a given course and anassociated program outcome, simply passing the course does not guarantee

Personalityassessment tools (e.g., Myers-Briggs) help team members to understand one another andimprove communication. Similar methods exist whereby individuals assess their owncommunication style, which is based on the degree to which the individual is assertive andoutgoing.3,4 As part of this REU program, participants and research mentors identify their owncommunication style by

These studies account for about 20 % of all students at technical universities. Classesare organized over the weekend for correspondence students and during the evenings over theweek for evening students. There are also some forms of continuing education in Poland, mainlyvarious post-graduate studies which last 2 or 3 semesters and terminate with a certificate ofcompletion; courses offered at these kinds of studies vary depending on current market needs.Engineering curricula have traditionally been based on a rigid core of

Further, the project team plans to perform arepetition of CHEG Lab 1a in both the Unit Operations course (with the same instructor) and thesenior chemical engineering lab course for increased confidence and statistical power.Additionally, we plan to have the students complete the other lab modules, which will enable thecollection and evaluation of more data and

Our faculty members are expected to focus primarily on teaching and build rapportwith students. One-on-one interaction outside of class is very common. These characteristicsplay a significant role when designing assessment instruments, such as homework assignments,laboratory exercises and, most importantly, design projects.Another noteworthy

the effects of the revised course on students, Wright was very impressed. As he put it, I was blown away by the phenomenal creativity and competence some of these students brought to course projects. They had a deep command of the material, and could apply it in different contexts in very creative ways. In short, student performance was at a level far above what I’ d seen before. The Need for Assessment Upon describing his students’ learning outcomes to his faculty colleagues, Wright found themgenerally supportive but not interested in trying the SAL approach themselves.
