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).

To investigate the significance of function modeling training technique, twocontrol groups of students, sections C and D, were just taught the basic meaning of function,while two treatment groups of students, sections A and B, received function modelinginstructions. To assess the student’s comprehension of the functional model, a four-questionquiz, known as FunSkill, was administered to both groups of students. Specifically, the quiztested students’ ability to identify function, describe functionality, understand functionaltranslation of design objectives, and create a

measured by Spearman’s coefficients (Knapp 2018). When engineeringidentity was cast through a multi-dimensional lens, it revealed more nuanced connections withteamwork experience. For example, “contributing to the team’s work” (behavior metric 1, B.1)tended to boost virtually all dimensions of engineering identity, but it exerted the strongestconnection with the performance/competence dimension of engineering identity (P.1 through P.3in Table A.1). A similar theme also emerged from qualitative analysis of interview transcripts:several students professed that when they were able to apply themselves in teamwork they feltthat their EI grew as a result and that when they were unable to contribute their EI took a hit andfor two female students it

Figure 2 shows the navigation model for the primary application. b) Prototyping (PT) is extensively used in UCD to visualize and validate all otherwise vague ideas and unclear expectations at low cost and high effectiveness. We focused on three main categories of prototyping: Paper (low-level) PT, low-fidelity electronic (medium level) PT, and high-fidelity, detailed PT [5, p. 188]. Paper prototypes are very inexpensive and help us capture several initial ideas and concepts, and validate them. After explaining their needs, users often change their minds when they see them on

Adding to the challenge is the rigor of engineering curriculum whichsubstantially contributes to high dropout rates from engineering [15], averaging at 50%, andranging from 60 to 67% for minorities [12, 16, 17].

The goals of theworkshop are to introduce instructors to the concept of eliciting and assessing process skills andenable them to use the rubrics along with the implementation guide developed by the project.Workshops generally begin with an introductory module designed to help participants exploreprocess skills before employing the rubrics. The components of the Introduction to Process Skillsmodule allow participants to: (a) explore different process skills, (b) determine how to elicitprocess skills with various classroom facilitation strategies, and (c
