At the end of the semester, the students who earned a D or F in thecourse had a lower engineering identity, feelings of belonging at the university, and feelings ofbelonging in the course in comparison to students who earned an A, B, or C in the course. Theresults indicate that in the local context there is still further work needed to best support the needsof students with respect to their math skills as they transition into college.INTRODUCTIONMuch has been written about the challenges that many college students encounter with math, andthat math is

Whatwill you do differently next time?3.4 Data AnalysisWe analyzed the qualitative data for repeated responses among student experiences. For this, weused a thematic analysis approach as described by [31]. Briefly, student responses were reviewedin total. The most common responses were classified into 3 main themes with subthematic areaslisted. Four to six student quotes supporting each theme have been provided enabling readers toindependently assess appropriateness of described themes [32].4. ResultsQualitative analysis of student quotes led to identification

Inthe late 2000s, providing students just exploring the possibility of pursuing an engineering degree wasdeemed appropriate with an adjusted version of the first-year engineering seminar. This version wascomparable but differed in depth and rigor. The two versions of the seminar were for (a) acceptedengineering and (b) intended engineering students.The intended group made up approximately 35%-40% of the first-year engineering cohort. Thispercentage of the first-year cohort remained consistent since 2016; however, it was a more diverse groupin terms of race/ethnicity and first-generation status than that of the accepted students consisting of

Please note, in case of Fig. 4, the default block code has been used, where anumber is printed on the serial monitor.

To address this overall question,we ask more specifically: a. How are student correctness, confidence, and their metacognitive reflections on the question related to their institution? b. What do the student responses suggest about their epistemological frames in learning statics? MethodsQuestion AdministrationFor this study, we selected one concept question which was administered via the ConceptWarehouse [29] (ConcepTest #4606), as shown in Figure 1.

indicatedthat they strongly preferred a traditional structure (65%) over a flipped structure (13%) eventhough the videos were identical and the class structure was very similar to the first instructor’sclass. The third instructor’s students also preferred the traditional structure, but not sodramatically. For the instructor whose students preferred the flipped structure, we learned thatSTEM majors tended to prefer the flipped structure more than non-STEM majors, and studentsinvolved in extracurricular activities also tended to prefer the flipped structure. Gender did notaffect students’ preference for the flipped structure, and finally, students who anticipated gettingan A or B in the class tended to prefer the flipped structure.IntroductionFlipped

All comments from the six PBL offerings of the coursethat specifically addressed the project were compiled and are presented in Appendix B. Mostcomments were favorable (14) though negative comments about the project-based model werealso made (3). General themes from favorable comments included: • student appreciation for intermediate project deliverables as a means to receive feedback and remain on track • a course structure that facilitated real-world connections and provided practical knowledge students perceived as useful to their future coursework or career • a reduction in the
