Relevant literatureConfidence in our understanding of how the mind works has been hindered by the fact that itinvolves a delicate, inaccessible, and complicated organ, the brain. Yet, technology hasrecently broken some of the barriers to understanding its functions. Neuroscientists useimaging techniques to understand brain mechanisms that take part in receiving, storing,retrieving, and processing information. Cognitive psychologists use
instructor: I mean I loved the teacher that we had. He was an awesome teacher. He would engage with us on a personal level. I mean, not extremely personal, but more of— he would break into the world that we know. Um, so that we could translate the material that he was teaching us into understandable experience[s], like our phones, or the computers that we have or laptops. Just, or just even everyday examples. . . Just—examples like that would help me, um, cope with like, with the things that I actually didn’t know, and was trying to learn from him.David felt warmth toward the instructor, and he described how this instructor taught in a waythat made the course topics easy to understand, and relatable to the

Ad-hoc persona with scenario narrative.Reflect on ad-hoc pre-work. The goals of the ad-hoc pre-work were to (1) develop and pilot ourpersona/scenario development processes and to (2) reflect on our assumptions and potentialbiases about STEM students before constructing the data driven usage model. In reviewing ourad-hoc personas and scenarios, our obvious bias toward engineering students was evident.

Additional analysis of groups of students in the upper andlower thirds or quartiles will be conducted in the future as part of our ongoing studies. Similarly, in astudy that clustered engineering students based on quantitative measure of non-cognitive factors,including engineering identity and belongingness, over 40% of the participants did not fit into clusters(Scheidt, Senkpeil, Chen, Godwin, and Berger, 2018). In Scheidt et al.’s study, engineering identity andbelongingness were 2 of just 5 factors (out of about 20 total factors analyzed) that drew distinctionsbetween clusters; in other words, engineering identity and belongingness are two of the most variedaffective
children go aboutsupporting their children 's engineering learning—especially given the upswing in the number ofchildren being homeschooled in the U.S. over the past decade [1] [2], which is expected tosteadily grow in the future. Thus, in this study we aim to investigate the role a homeschoolparent plays in their child’s engineering learning. Literature review In the last decade computers have become less of a cutting-edge technology and more ofa commonality in every household. The shift in technology from exciting innovation to pertinenttools requires more than the ability to use computers for work. In fact, it is becomingincreasingly pertinent for children to think like computer scientists and
and what response they receivedfrom their audience(s).The student writing projects were analyzed using discourse analysis 12 and multimodal analysis30,31 in order to examine how the students enacted positions through roles and relationships visa vithe reader, and the extent to which they were successful in their positioning (RQ1).We considered criteria for successful positioning in multiple ways. First, we asked ourselveswhether the authors actually positioned themselves as engineering researchers or engineers -what were the strategies they use, and did they appropriately signal membership in thatcommunity. For instance, scientists are expected to use the language of uncertainty and to avoidoverstating their claims when discussing the

Usually this will be part of your puzzle, but they can also be hiding places and objects of interest in the room. For examples: Puzzle boxes, a small chest of drawers, the apparatus used to play your puzzle, or theme appropriate furniture (still needs to be portable). This object should be small enough for one person to carry it without assistance. o 3D printed object – Using Solidworks to make the object, each team will 3D print a small piece(s) used in their puzzle and/or fabricated object. Examples: Three different colors of numbered keys, a
. Analternative hypothesis is that there are more women and minorities starting civil or structuralengineering studies now than there were in the past, so the graduate student diversity willincrease as these students continue through the pipeline. However, nationwide data shows that, ifanything, women and minority representation among students in science and engineeringdisciplines has decreased slightly over the past 10 years2,5, making this hypothesis unlikely.Table 1.

The group’s intended purpose was to lower the activation barrier to helpinterested faculty try flipping, by sharing group knowledge and experiences. Accordingly, thelearning community was planned as a “working” community where members would learn fromeach other as they redesigned and flipped their respective course(s) and created online material.The specific goals of this learning community were to: 1) Explore pedagogy of a flippedclassroom. What do students do within and outside of a flipped class? 2) Explore technologiesavailable to support flipping a course. 3) Flip
