-traditional views about their careers vis-a-vis men. For example, women, more likely thanmen, agree that a wife should make long-range career plans just as her husband does, disagreethat a wife should leave her job to follow a husband’s career, and also disagree that men arefinancially responsible for supporting the family. At the same time, they hold traditional viewsabout their roles in family responsibility, especially child-rearing. Such a mix of traditional andnon-traditional views, may result in role-conflicts, and perhaps in the subdued career aspirations.Essentially, there is a huge difference in the way women and men think about their careers andfamily responsibilies. It seems that men are blissfully ignorant of women’s career aspirations

Fall 2016 9 2 Fall 2017 11 9Course Analysis: QualitativeIn addition to doing a quantitative analysis, we also conducted a qualitative analysis. Thisconsisted of gathering feedback from the instructors who taught the course and constructivefeedback from students on how to improve the course. The two key recommendations that weremade and the actions taken to implement them are: (1) Offer a different version of this course for MATH108 students with fewer topics and more in-depth study of pre-calculus topics. Newer topics such as Complex Numbers and Matrix Algebra would also be added. We plan to

students on campus as well as some of the athletes. I planned and hosted an event with the black athletes on campus to discuss ways in how our two organizations were different and how we could assist each other. Also during my freshman year, I par- ticipated in First Year Research in Engineering (FYRE) which allowed me to work with Professor Laura Ray on ”Fidget Cars.” These cars were designed for a course at Dartmouth to help teach control theory, functions of controllers, as well as some other basic math and physics applications. The work done on this car ranged from working in the machine shop to build parts, testing motor characteristics, circuit design, and more. After participating in this project for most of the
and the first implementation is planned for later this year. Theproject aims to (A) evaluate whether students exhibit a positive change in systems thinking afterthe systems thinking intervention, (B) assess the validity of the ST instrument adapted to thisproject and (C) assess the validity and reliability of the grading rubric developed for thisintervention. Exploratory analysis will also occur via use of meta-data available in the coursemanagement system.Phase I: Design- The Conceptual ApproachSystems thinking is a concept that dates back as early as the 1920s and is grounded in theories ofholism (attributed by Aristole, coined by J C Smuts), general systems theory, relational thinking,and cybernetics. Many well-known approaches have
bothhomogeneous teams and heterogeneous teams [4]. The advantages of homogenous teams aretypically: less conflict, better coordination, advantage of cohesion, and higher satisfaction. Theadvantages of heterogeneous teams are typically: diverse thinking, better performance oncomplex tasks, and more creativity. The disadvantages of homogeneous teams are: groupthink,decisions are one-dimensional (i.e., no contingency planning), and limited innovation. Thedisadvantages of heterogeneous teams are: difficulty agreeing, more conflict, and hard tocoordinate/manage. It has also been shown that homogeneous teams tend to reach a conclusion(albeit an inferior one) faster than heterogeneous teams [4]. This work has been corroboratedand expanded by other studies [5-9

epistemic cognition11 within an undergraduate experience, we are using situatedlearning5,6, role identity, and epistemic cognition as theoretical lenses. Situated learning providesa framework for us to investigate students’ identity development and epistemic cognition as theyintegrate into a research group, which can be recognized as a community of practice5,6. Throughlegitimate peripheral participation within their URE, students will develop their identities asresearchers and their beliefs about how knowledge is created and justified within the field. In thisinitial phase of our work, we are using situated learning to begin to understand the connectionsbetween identity and epistemic cognition within a URE.Executive SummaryOur detailed plan for

Through this evaluation, the teachers reported engaging inactivities in the ACTlab, such as the ‘Speed Dating’ and ‘Bag of Improbable Materials’ whichthey would use in their classrooms. One teacher commented:“There are so many parts to the lesson plan that are crucial to make sure that the STEMeducation the students are receiving

and independent study courses wereexcluded. In spring 2016, there was a total of 1111 students in the sampling frame. A sample sizeof 10 % of this population was considered to have sufficient statistical power to derive theresults.The stratified random sampling method was used to select the participants with the strata basedon course level (e.g. 100, 200, 300 & 400-level courses). The sample was randomly selectedacross the four strata so as to be proportional to the number of students enrolled in each stratum(course level). Table 1 shows the percentage of students selected from each course level resultingin the sample size of 111. Table 1. Participant Sampling Plan Course Number of
lesson plans can be found in the Appendix of this paper.Each prediction activity began with the instructor explaining the demonstration and asking aquestion about what would happen in the system. Students wrote down their predicted answerwith some justification. A brief demonstration followed, allowing students to observe whatactually happened. The instructor concluded the activity with a 5 minute explanation of thetheory governing the system. Within a week of the in-class activity, students in Class Ccompleted a brief set of structured questions, aimed to engage students in reflection. Thesefollow-up activities are in the Appendix.Table 1: Experimental Design. The same HECI test was administered pre- and post-instruction as a quantitativeform

residents were asked to reduce the amount of bathroom water used. The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed

Variations on thismethod that the author has invoked include: having the entire class work on one problemtogether, nominally in groups of threes, but coming together as a class to work through thechallenging portions and discuss ideas on how to proceed. The author has also stoppedprogressive peer work to bring the entire class together to discuss a concept if it is clear there iswide-spread confusion or misconceptions. There have been times where
definition of“design” as “the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system ormeasurable human interaction [from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design].” Designing usually needs to consider the aesthetic,functional, economic and societal dimensions of both the design object and design process.Learning the design methods and processes through project-based learning activities seems tobe an important route for students to understanding the merging of materials science withengineering for future challenges as reported [4-6]. Introducing designing processesthrough project-based learning activities will enable students to see how the fundamentalconcepts of science and

Technical Communication ClassroomAbstractRates of veteran enrollment in colleges and universities are approaching levels not seen since thefifties, due in large part to the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, an educational assistance plan for eligibleveterans. Connecting veteran students with the support skills they need is crucial to theircontinuing success, in the classroom and beyond. Studies suggest that veteran students performto their academic best when given clear objectives and product exemplars, with a focus on best-practice—a result that runs contrary to received wisdom in composition pedagogy research.
