also likely audiences.Graduate students, particularly in the STEM disciplines, must learn data management skills.They will never know their discipline without electronic data capture. However, graduate studenteducation in data curation skills is patchy and frequently reliant on the advisor professor to teachthose skills. For professors who are learning the skills themselves, it is difficult to teach allnecessary skills across the data lifecycle. Additionally, not all graduate students work directlywith an individual advisor in a laboratory. Fellowship students, who are expected to create theirown research plan, may be missed by lab-based data management training. Add in the fact that

, labs, and discussion sections [1], [2]. LAs also attend a pedagogy seminar where theylearn about responsive teaching and active learning. Previous research has investigated LAs’impacts on improving undergraduate courses and student outcomes [3]. Studies related to LAsand their impacts on social justice have focused on applying quantitative critical race theory toevaluate the impact of LAs on reducing learning gaps between dominant and historicallymarginalized students [4] and on classroom equity [5]. A greater understanding of LAs’conceptions of status and how they navigate dismantling status differences in the classroomwould support this work.This study utilized thematic analysis [6] to characterize how LAs construct the idea of statuswithin
learning domainsand their learning levels for engineering specializations. An analysis of culminating ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission student outcomes is made with reference to Bloom’s 3learning domains and their learning levels. A hypothetical model is presented for this analysis. Thecorrelation of ABET student outcomes, course learning outcomes and performance indicators isclearly outlined. The necessity of the use of performance indicators is highlighted especially inreference to the measurement of course learning outcomes, development of assessments, teachingand learning activities. The importance of scientific constructive alignment of learning outcomes,performance indicators, assessments, teaching and learning strategies is

process. Also in many cases, students, through working on projects,often perceive the relevance of mathematics and science and see how what they have learned inthese courses might be applicable to their current project. Another, less frequently usedalternative is a first-year course built around discipline, laboratory-based learning experiences[10]. The goal of this alternative is to help first-year students better understand the nature of thedifferent engineering disciplines through carefully crafted experiential learning experiences.Given that one of the challenges faced by the first-year engineering curricula at TAMU was thelack of understanding of engineering practice, EAPO selected the project-based approach. Thedesign challenge could be

Internationalization of STEM education has been a particular passion for Dr. Doerry, and he has developed numerous initiatives to promote international exposure for engineers since arriving at NAU in 1999, including an International Engineering and Science Certificate program, and the Global Engineering College project, an NSF-funded exploration of a comprehensively internationalized curricular model for engineering education. In 2011, he was asked to lead development of the Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an ambitious large-scale initiative

Stemming from the fact that the ideal teaching and learningstrategy depends on the goals on the instructor, the level of knowledge and skills of the students,and the particular materials being taught, this course was designed based on the How PeopleLearn framework (4,5).Northwestern has a quarter system and each quarter is about 9 ½ to 10 ½ weeks long. The 10-week course consisted of two class meetings of 80 minutes/class per week. Table 2 shows thedistribution of class time on the specific topics covered during the Fall 2001 quarter.
