Page 22.622.7Discussion and Future Plans:The question of any effect of the entrepreneurial interventions remains: did the interventionsthemselves have an effect on the changes in fixed or growth mindset of first-year engineeringstudents?To investigate this, two comparison populations are participating in the survey at the beginningand end of the academic year. The two populations will serve as control groups, in that they willnot receive an intentional entrepreneurial intervention in their first year of study. All freshmenengineers in comparison samples A and B will be sampled with the validated Dweck mindsetinstrument at the beginning and end of their freshmen year.The first comparison sample, school A, is a college in the upper Northeast

Needs to Enhance Content Knowledge and Instructional Practices of Teachers The needs reported most frequently by school division leaders include: a) concentratedassistance in math and science instruction; b) better math and science preparation for teachers; c)professional development to encourage secondary teachers to have high expectations for allstudents and to use a wide repertory of instructional strategies to meet student needs; d)professional development that is closely linked with curriculum; e) professional development onresearch-based practices and better ways to manage use of curricular materials; and f) any time,anywhere support for teachers.

autonomy framework? (b) How does the level ofstudent autonomy impact student’s participation, interest, and perception of performance in theseclassrooms? and (c) How do student and faculty perspectives on student autonomy affect theclassroom environment? Our results indicate that students and faculty have mixed feelingsregarding SDL, which drive frustration and discomfort with open-ended learning in theclassroom. In general, students often do not feel well-supported in SDL environments andexhibit a lowered sense of competency and expectancy. On the other hand, faculty presentblindness towards structural supports necessary for effective SDL classroom environment andspecifically their own roles in scaffolding students’ SDL

In cases where the samerubrics were used in both courses, they were tallied separately and then they were combined.For the purposes of the collaborative research, several rubrics were used.The first and second rubrics, called peer-in-class evaluation were used by both groups when theCETE students were presenting (Appendix A, Table A), and when ID students were presenting(Appendix A, Table B). The third rubric was used when CETE students were demonstrating theirprototypes (Appendix A, Table C) prior to the final project presentation and evaluation.The following tables illustrate the final averages in a

The checklists ask them: to identify stakeholders and their interests; to identify the standards or norms they are using to make decisions about a) technological development, b) economic impact, c) safety, d) public health, e) impact on society f) culture impact, i) equity, and j) environmental impacts; to assess whether they are adhering to the professional guidelines in the NSPE Code of Ethics; to review their project from at least three different ethical perspectivesOther pedagogical activities in this course
feedback reports, forum and wiki discussions, end-of-course evaluations, and the course statistics provided through the Sakai course managementsystem. Data on actual participation in online discussions were collected throughout the course.Students also completed a course evaluation survey at the end of the course which asked a seriesof questions addressing their overall experiences, especially as related to course satisfaction,interaction with the instructor and the technology used.From an evaluation perspective, the evaluation team monitored whether the goals of the Podcastcourse were being achieved by observing the following: a) student satisfaction with the Podcastcourses; b) the value added to the educational experiences of teachers receiving
. The mostobvious “direct” assessment instrument available is student grades. Assigning grades is aroutine task. Tracking the fraction of students who earn A, B, and C in a course, orcalculating the average score on a particular assignment, are data collection tasks that Page 22.337.4require essentially no “extra” effort on the part of faculty. However, ABET cautionsagainst using grades as an assessment metric9 because a grade is a holistic evaluation ofwhether a student has met all of the instructor’s expectations. A class of students that hasone very specific and widespread shortcoming may still earn good grades. There areseveral recent examples of

Proactive Strategy The consistent and periodic review of the status quo, including safety practices and standards, is essential for ensuring workplace safety. It’s important for supervisors to properly supervise their employees to ensure they are working safely. Old habits are sometimes difficult to eliminate, especially when those habits seem to make the employee’s job easier or if an employee has been injury- free during his/her employment. Therefore, employees need to be constantly reminded of the importance of workplace safety and
