I think that’s probably why I struggle with science, ‘cause it’s all like, I can’t connect a newton to a person.This student’s reflection underscores the importance of creating space for learners toconnect course content to real-life experiences. SIRI provided students with the leeway todesign projects that interested them. Estrada [3] encourages higher education institutions“to find ways to emphasize how classroom content relates to prosocial communaloutcomes” [3, p.4], and we could not agree more.Discussion and Conclusions In conclusion, difference was fundamental in shaping the students’ experience in SIRI.Students appreciated the racial and ethnic diversity that SIRI provided, which was an intentionalaspect of

and survey findings indicated that students were looking for a natural feel in thespace, with plants and more neutral tones. Students wanted to be able to have some privacy whenthey work but they also want to feel the comfort and energy of having other users around them.The ideal space would “feel more authentic” or, in design terms, reflect a use of natural lighting,more live plants, natural materials used in décor and lighting that can be managed by the studentin the space (dimmers, lamps, windows with blinds). This was a theme that prior research hadfound in the MSL, but our work further explored and revealed how important this element is.The results from this study were used in the MSL fourth and fifth floor renovations which beganin

As is common in previous CI work, this study uses the Delphi method to identify thesetopics. The Delphi method is a systematic iterative process of arriving at a common opinion ordecision by a diverse group of subject experts 17 . At each iteration (round), the experts areprovided with a questionnaire and an aggregate anonymized group response at the precedinground that might affect the experts’ responses at a current round 18,17,19,20 .

,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses decrease failure rates and increase performanceon summative assessments [3]. In Fink’s taxonomy of significant learning experiences [4],course design should be learner-centered, so students are actively engaging not just withtechnical content in an engineering course but also reflecting on their own learning processes asthey strive to become lifelong learners.One strategy for promoting reflection and engagement is through opportunities for collaborativelearning. Collaborative learning represents a joint intellectual effort by students (and ofteninstructors) to mutually create or find meaning, solutions, or products [5]. Intentionally designedcollaborative learning strategies can be mapped to Fink’s taxonomy

Additionally, students also showed both simple and complexrelationships in the concept maps with a clear indication of relative importance. Overall, most ofthe participating students developed a more holistic concept map for addressing the constructionand demolition waste issues by considering design for disassembly and upcycling principles aswell as disaster management guidelines to improve sustainability in construction. Then, throughthe identification of different relationships and patterns among the concepts, students were able toclearly articulate the impact of these systems on the circular

We specifically asked in what ways did a student approach completing the programmingassignments differently between the two courses. Students were instructed to skip the question ifthey did not take the course recently with the time-restricted policy. We asked this question toanswer RQ1 from the perspective of students who have now experienced both policies and areable to reflect on both.

Growth Sector is working with SRI International to alter the tool for future studies. This could be in part due to the short nature of the Bridge program. Additionally, this could reflect the recruitment of many students who already are decided on a STEM field. • Overwhelmingly, students said their experience in the Summer Bridge

Mindfulness and meditationinvolve the art and science of building an awareness of self and developing reflective techniquesto promote calmness and stability. There is evidence from literature that demonstrates positiveeffects of mindfulness and meditation for well-being.In engineering education in particular, the cognitive stress of engaging with the curriculum canbe high. Past research has found that engineering students do perceive benefits from engaging inmindfulness activities

Flipping each class freed up a total of 12hrs for AE 401 and16hrs for AE 530 across a 15 week duration. Examples were still done in class. It was debated early onwhether to flip examples but it was not done so that real-time engagement and reflective questioningopportunities remained. Having shifted 12 or 16hrs to pre-class time allowed for more interactive examples/ scenarios, as well as, time to work on assignments.

Research Questions The MUSIC model inventory was designed for use by instructors to examine student motivation, to encourage instructor reflection regarding classroom improvements to improve motivation, and to make data-informed decisions about curricular changes. Research using the inventory has been very applied in nature, as its use was intended. Our work has two purposes - to test for differences between early-term and late-term responses on the paired factors; and to take a step back to understand the underlying causal model of the factors together, as the various forms of motivation do not occur in isolation. Based upon the wealth of research touting the impacts of a caring instructor, we sought to understand a model

Students were very concernedas to how a Pass grade would be interpreted by graduate schools or future employers. Studentshad the option to select the Pass/Fail grading system and many needed assistance with thisdecision. Some were concerned that their GPA would be adversely effected by the Pass option,which was incorrect. This new alternative to grading increased student’s stress over grades inmany cases with

As reflected inTable 3, the GPA of CAPS scholars began slightly below their matched peers after one year inthe CAPS program, but by the second year of the CAPS program, CAPS scholars had surpassedtheir peers in GPA. This trend continued in the third year of the program, with CAPS scholarshaving a higher GPA than their peers. Further, CAPS scholars reported a higher commitment tocareers associated with their academic major relative to their matched peers at the end of theirthird year in the scholarship (i.e. the end of senior year), despite a lower intention to attendgraduate school (Table 4).
