completeunderstanding.The author hopes to institute a hybrid format between traditional lectures and the flipped format.For less difficult concepts, the author may use the flipped format directly. However, for manysubjects, the traditional lecture format is required to maintain satisfactory progress throughcourse topics. The lecture videos can be used by students after in-class lectures to reviewdifficult ideas and also to review and prepare for exams. Hence, the author believes that videoproduction is a worthwhile endeavor.References 1. M.

At the outset of the test, the participants listed three areas of interest in aerospace. They weregiven a few minutes to look around the webpage and share initial impressions. Afterfamiliarizing themselves with the site, they were presented with three compulsory tasks related totheir area(s)8 of interest: ● Find a research database ● Find an article ● Find a bookAfter the three above tasks were completed, optional tasks followed: ● Find information about senior projects guidelines ● Find industry-based standards that might be of use for a project or paper ● Find formatting guidelines for an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) report ● Find where to get help if struggling to find information ● Make an

similar to doodling is that of “sketchnoting”, wherein notes are either presented ortaken using a combination of drawings and words. Proponents [7], [8] of sketchnoting supportthe idea that the learning benefits of sketching and drawing are tied to the need for a person totranslate ideas from one format (words) to another (pictures).Perhaps the most comprehensive resource related to the above, and this current paper, is thebook, The Doodle Revolution by S, Brown [9], which discusses the concept of the “Infodoodle”.An Infodoodle is a simple drawing that is created with the purpose of capturing and conveyinginformation. Brown explains not only how to create effective doodles, but also ties their use toimprovements in organization, engagement

InterviewsMSEN teachers, student participants, and mentors participated in either focus groups or interviewsto determine the program’s impact on the items outlined in the evaluation criteria. Semi-structuredinterview protocols were used to guide discussions with participants. Interviews and focus groupswere digitally recorded and transcribed. A reflective analysis process was used to analyze andinterpret interviews and focus groups.Test of Students’ Science KnowledgeA student science content knowledge assessment aligned to the instructional goals of the researchcourse was developed and administered at the onset and conclusion of each part of the course.S-STEM SurveyThe S-STEM Student Survey measures student self-efficacy related to STEM content
abilities of most high school STEM teachers. Pre-planning with these circuit boards was a significant factor in the project’s success (Appendix B).Results and AnalysisResults from the 2017 implementation cycle are presented in this paper; these results indicatethat the unit successfully met its three objectives. Results from the 2018 cycle, in which a fewimprovements to the unit were incorporated, will be included once they are available.Objective 1: Before starting the unit, all 59 students were given a survey with twenty statementsadapted from the Friday Institute highschool S-STEM survey [9], NGSS 21stCentury skills statements, and NGSSengineering design standards. Thesewere grouped according to threethemes: students’ interest inengineering (ex

Students felt their leadership roles contributed to understanding concepts in their majorsthe least, ranging from less than one-third among engineering students to slightly more than halfof non-STEM students. One of the starkest differences was with regard to becoming a leaderoutside of college. While more

They could also be asked howthey think the various velocities could be measured with this setup. After showing thedemonstration, students will be given a reflection activity on their homework assignment, inwhich they will be asked to directly address any differences in their understanding between thepre-demonstration activity and afterwards. Students will also be asked for feedback forimproving the activity. As before, some indirect assessment of learning gains may be achievedby comparing scores from 2017 and 2018 on relevant problem(s) from quizzes and
flip their classes. Whatstarted out as a faculty development program designed for local STEM faculty quickly expandedto include faculty around the country and the world, across a wide variety of disciplines and K-12teachers as well. The program included three modules – backwards design applied to the flippedclass [1], creating online materials (video lectures), and active learning strategies for the face-to-face classroom. These modules were taught in a variety of different ways for different audiencesincluding in-person workshops, flipped semi-in person workshops, and completely online massiveopen online course (MOOC)s.
