theirinstructional plans accordingly. The students in the construction courses continuouslyparticipate in group assessment, giving the instructor an opportunity to adjust the goals andinstruction methodology. For example, in one of the courses course, repeated references to lackof adequacy of the textbook promoted the instructor to provide additional handouts andincrease frequency of short lectures and subsequently change the text in the following semester.So assessment in true sense is not only the evaluation of performance of the students, but theevaluations of the course as well as the instruction. Assessment is one component of theTeaching-Learning-Assessment- Improvement loop.Definitions – As Articulated by the Indian UniversityProgram Educational

gamedesign class was offered as a technical elective. This class combined a “humanities” viewpoint ofvideo game design (e.g. gaming psychology, theory of fun) with the “technical” side of computerprogramming and physics engines. Students compared and contrasted two games and wrote acritical analysis of a game. The majority of the class was spent conceptualizing, planning andcreating a video game. Groups learned the required programming skills as needed to implementtheir vision. Students completed a survey at the conclusion of the course. Generally, students foundthe course exercised their creative skills, motivated them to learn more programming and providedthem experience in project management.Keywordsvideo games, computer programming, elective
work away from desktop computing. 4. There will be some impact long term in the student’s ability to deal with computational modeling problems using HPC . The survey will hopefully reveal the student’s current interest and perception about what the long term (35 years) impact will be, but the only way to know if the project will have a lasting impact on the student’s ability to understand and use HPC appropriately in the workplace, can only be measured via a long term study. It is possible that the consent to report on this longer term data collection will be sought. The future plans for this project and new projects include: 1. Obtaining and disseminating data from a survey of
teachers are already inquiring if we can schedule the presenters for this semester too. To be honest this group is tied 3 ways for favorite & best presentation. They were great! All the students were very professional and caring. I am glad to bring students to external venue in this case C4TK@LA hackathon. I got positive feedback from the event organizer that it would have been not possible without our students help. I wish other college do the same thing to encourage student servicesThe 7 out of 20 responders answered the last question of areas of improvement and all 7responses were ‘none’ for the areas of improvement.Continuous Improvement of the courseWe plan to include more detailed surveys
for student teams to visit the site in person and get to know the community that will benefit from their project design? • Are the costs (time, travel safety, funding) associated with student and mentor travel to support inter-collaborative international projects acceptable when compared to the benefits?We agreed to support two project teams of four students each between our two institutes. Eachteam of four students were comprised of two from GU and two from RH. One project was locatednear RH and the other near GU. Our programs supported student and mentor travel to the sites sothat the teams came to know each other face-to-face. An assessment plan was devised andimplemented with the help of experts at RH.

approached the organizers to get involved in creating a broader series that addressed the interdisciplinary nature of biomedical research. With the growth of the series, the number of people involved and impacted grew too. One of the unique features of this series is that it involves four of the five colleges at Louisiana Tech with at least 10 individual programs participating, creating a truly interdisciplinary seminar series. Over the last three years, faculty and students from biomedical engineering, biology, kinesiology, and chemistry have been polled for seminar speaker recommendations. In turn, those faculty members have been involved in the planning and hosting of their recommended
liked to build my palaces and convoluted devices which I always fantasized did wondrous things. I would always draw out plans for my projects. The organizational process I did then I can compare to the engineering process which I learned recently two years ago, in a [high school] principles of engineering class. In school I prepared for college, even when I was in 8th grade. I had the forethought to get into the highest classes available. I decided I wanted to take calculus senior year, so I took geometry in summer school in the time between 9th and 10th year. I made plans which I followed through with. The facets of my personality and experience I have will be an asset to your community. This
all the variables within the stratified sampling, but the protocol used was the same foreach institution.Program assessmentFormative and summative assessment instruments will be used to evaluate and assess bothproduct and process to provide assessment results within and between institutions and by cohorttype (F-LEARN and T-LEARN). The assessment plan will use a mixed-method approach [3] toassess the effectiveness in fulfilling the desired learning outcomes, which are:1. Fall-to-fall retention, credits earned, GPA, and graduation rates of LEARN® cohorts will be higher when compared to matched intra-institutional comparison control groups2. Students in the program will show developmental gains in critical thinking and oral/written
novel teaching approach in engineering education because of the many factorsthat go into incorporating writing into a technical classroom. To address these concerns andbarriers, development and research plans for a scaffolded writing pedagogy are described below.Implementation in the Fluid Mechanics ClassroomTo follow the studies that have already been performed by the IUSE group at WSU, the writingpedagogy will be tested in the junior-level, the fluid mechanics and heat transfer course (CHE332) in parallel with the current hands-on learning implementation.i. Targeting Higher Levels in the Cognitive DomainTo target higher levels in the cognitive domain, it is crucial to start with the students’ conceptualfoundation. Identifying common
material and format are deployed with efficacy [18-19]. Inthis particular study the instructor was female, and as noted by other researchers [20], maycontribute to an overall lower impression of knowledge. However, this defense is furthercomplicated because the graduate student leaders in this study were also female in gender. It ispossible that graduate students, despite being female, were able to develop trust/confidence inthe students through spending more time with them. Normally, the format of the LEAP modelallows for about five hours of planned contact between the leader and their students, but it ispossible that the female leaders made additional time investments. This possibility will alter theinformation that we collect during subsequent
participants’ engineering identity (e.g., “I see myself as an engineer” [18]) and belongingnessin engineering (e.g., “I feel comfortable in engineering” [26]).In the fourth section, participants will identify key individuals and experiences encounteredduring their undergraduate program that were influential in forming the participants’ careerpathways. This information will be used to understand key resources that students may takeadvantage of to plan for the future. Finally, we collect information on participants’ year ofgraduation, undergraduate major, gender, and race/ethnicity. In total, we approximate that thesurvey will take participants 10-15 minutes to complete.Survey DevelopmentThe survey will be distributed to alumni in Summer 2019
students received scholarships to cover living expenses only (n = 39, 3%).Primary AnalysesFor our first research question, we were interested in the racial/ethnic and gender composition ofthe scholarship recipients as compared to students who did not receive a scholarship. To answerthis question, we conducted two chi-square tests to examine the racial/ethnic and gendercomposition of the scholarship and non-scholarship groups. For our second research question, wewere interested in examining whether there were mean differences in motivation based onwhether or not a student had received a scholarship. While we cannot infer causation, it isinteresting to consider whether the variables are related, and future research is planned to explorethese
projectteam had to wait for the arrival of warmer seasonal temperatures. Testing in early summer 2019 inthe Northeastern United States on sunny and/or partly sunny days with outside air temperatures inthe 88-91 oF (31.1-32.8 oC) range revealed that the internal air temperature will approach 115 oF(46.1 oC). This is below the recommended 120-140 oF (49-60 oC) range for dehydration of fruitsand vegetables [5-8]. A simple modification to the current design (i.e., thinner walls) is alreadybeing planned in order to determine if this concept design can generate the required airtemperatures for safe drying for similar outside air temperatures. The dehydration of raw meat is aseparate issue since safe dehydration requires even higher internal temperatures [9

The groups were then requiredto develop and implement a testing plan to validate and adjust their designs. For their finalpresentations the students had to launch their object in front of the. Each group also completed adesign report that documented their entire design process, including: conceptual designs, designmatrix, final CAD drawings, testing and validation results, and a discussion of their design’sperformance and the changes they would make if given the chance.Post-project evaluation surveys showed that overall the students enjoyed the
of studies, and course content. Since performance of students in previous examination decides their ability tounderstand topics in current classes, we requested the teachers to study details of the pastperformances of their students (high school courses and performances, therein, performancesat other competitive examinations) and plan their courses accordingly. They introduced teststo assess students’ understanding of pre-requisite topics and developed course plans includingthe use of appropriate pedagogical methods. For each class, the same teacher was responsiblefor both lectures and tutorials, which facilitated more contact time with the students resultingin better academic integration.

IntroductionThis poster presents preliminary results from a project aimed at providing a betterunderstanding of how engineering design is taught and learned. The overall aim of the projectis to develop a pedagogical framework to guide the development, evaluation, andimprovement of learning environments for project-based engineering design courses.Project-based design classes are increasingly common in undergraduate engineeringprograms, serving as experiential learning activities. They allow students to apply theirtheoretical knowledge to solve open-ended, ill-structured design problems [1, 2

The author’s suburban public high school has ~1600 students,of whom ~40% identify as non-white, ~25% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and ~25%have IEP or 504 plans or are ELs. The curriculum was designed to meet three objectives: (1) toengage students in an authentic engineering design process in which they make connectionsbetween content learning and solutions to societal issues; (2) to successfully address NGSS andCambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) content standards[8]; and (3) to be feasible for science teachers in terms of time, materials, and expertise.Project DesignThe author chose to embed a neural
positive student experiences, as reflected by survey results, werein the fields of engineering where we either had multiple activities or the camp activities wereespecially interactive or compelling.Future Directions These results from surveys conducted during the pilot year of the SHEcontext-oriented camp appear to indicate that the format is successful and has encouraged us todevelop similar camps for all age levels and populations we reach through our summerprograms. Despite these encouraging results, we have several ideas for future improvement thatwill be implemented in Summer 2018. First, we plan to modify the camp activities to align withthe [state science standards] to both add value for students and for teachers who may wish toimplement
instructor acting as client. Thetechnical toolset developed in introductory courses is brought to bear on a real software problem. Here iswhere the notion of software process – the practice of creating software products in a replicable, reliable way– can be addressed and put into action. Techniques for effective communication are obviously an importantcomponent of this agenda.One advantage of placing our instruction in this context is that Scrum explicitly acknowledges the im-portance of repeated, well-constructed communication. Many of the iconic practices of Scrum - stand-upmeetings, sprint retrospectives, planning poker - are designed to increase discussion, reflection and debate,all of which help to strengthen the software process.
