Mandatoryattendance was not required upon acceptance of our offer, but students were asked to provide aheads-up for not showing up.By the end of the 4th week of the semester, 18 students were identified, and only 6 (33%)accepted the invitation. Two of the six students met with instructor A, two with teachingassistant B, and two with teaching assistant C. The assignment was dictated mainly by the timeavailability of the involved parties.Table 21 shows a summary of some descriptive statistics from these advising sessions.

Extend the use of the Concept Warehouse (CW) to Mechanical Engineering (ME) and grow by 50,000 student users from diverse populations. To achieve this objective, we will: a. Develop content [at least 300 new ConcepTests] for Statics and Dynamics. b. Continue development of ME research-based Instructional Tools (e.g., Inquiry- Based Activities and Interactive Virtual Laboratories) that help students develop conceptual understanding. c.

In this study, we endeavor to address this gap in the literature firstby both (a) exposing which topics and challenges in the environment are neglected byengineering students in speaking to environmental sustainability, and (b) which social andeconomic aspects of sustainability do indeed make it onto the radar screen forstudents. Knowing (a) provides implicates for what needs to be added to existing stand-aloneand integrated models of sustainability in the engineering curriculum; knowing (b) gives someinsight into an appropriate starting point to connect to student interests in social
placed successfully and students placed in error at each level.Specifically, we identify severe placement errors, defined by two criteria: 1) students predictedto fail the upper-level course they were placed into, or 2) students predicted to pass the upper-level course with a B or better, but were placed into a course one level below. We estimate theproportion of severe placement errors at each level of math in the developmental sequence foreach college, thereby enabling comparison across A&P contexts. Since we are interested in comparing various placement scenarios, we calculate thepercent of severe placement errors using different combinations of measures: 1) with HSTs alone 2) with placement test scores/math

Students were also asked to report on their attitudes regarding their skillconfidence in engineering. For instance, students rated their confidence in specific research-related activities, and following the IOU-NA program, confidence improved in many areas (SeeFigures B and C). Notably, the greatest skill confidence after the IOU-NA program included:conducting literature searches (100%, 19), keeping a lab notebook (84.2%, 16), communicatingideas to team members (84.2%, 16), and preparing a scientific presentation (84.2%, 16).
