Teacher participants were selected based on the quality of a statement of their interest inconducting research and participating in professional development, letters of recommendationfrom their principals, years of in-service teaching, the demographics of the students that theyteach, and the science subject(s) they teach. There were 11 teachers in the first cohort: 4 teacherswho participated in the program at TU and 7 teachers who participated at PU. Once the teachers had been accepted into the program, they were introduced (virtually) totheir resesearch advisors, with the intent of having some preliminary discussion about projectsahead of their arrival on campus. These discussions began about six weeks prior to the start ofthe on-campus

], theChair of Scrap (see Appendix) asks the students to design a way to accommodate more studentsin the instructor’s office with only recyclable materials. Assigned on the first day of class anddue in just one week, students work feverishly to design and build some sort of chair or stool.Upon showing their designs proudly to the instructor, they are surprised to hear that they have allmade a crucial mistake. It is rare for any of the students to visit the instructor’s office or ask theinstructor or any students questions about what s/he wants in seating (i.e., they do not talk tousers or the client). While there are certainly barriers to a first-year student going to aninstructor’s office (e.g., it can be intimidating, they not be familiar with

Finally, every seminar andevery piece of training literature should be reviewed with the specific awareness ofconsidering people of all races, genders and background.Clearly, this is not the final solution to a field that continues to evolve very quickly, but itrepresents a good start. Hopefully these steps will provide lessons learned and productivefeedback that will lead to even better changes in the future.Bibliography1 Estes, A.C., Ressler, S.J., Saviz, C.M., Barry, B.E., Considine, C.

using an automated system to grade AutoCAD files that focusedon 2D drawings [7]. In this method, students email homework solutions to a dedicated emailaddress. The automated system then reads the emails and evaluates the 2D drawing(s) submitted.The advantage of this system is that students could receive quick feedback, although the gradingmethod’s generalization to 3D CAD is not apparent.Ingale et al. developed a tool in Matlab which would evaluate section views submitted as picturefiles by the students. Their tool had the advantage of being CAD software independent since itonly used image files and image recognition techniques. However, the submitted picture fileshad no dimensions shown, and the tool could not process other common views like
