Over the two semesters, various arguments toconvince students of the importance of maintaining distancing were tested: ensuring the safety ofoneself and others, getting practice following workplace safety rules in preparation for a career inindustry, the risk that the Unit Ops Lab may be shut down by the administration if policies werenot followed, and others. Ultimately the most successful argument was that avoiding “closecontact” with others would prevent students from getting stuck in quarantine if someone else inlab later tested positive.5.2 MasksInitially, an open box or stack of procedure masks was provided at the PPE table

We operationalized engineering communities broadly to be the formaland informal groups that students participated in throughout their undergraduate careers.

There is often a disconnect between what the studentswrite and the actual meaning of their project results. Rarely do students attempt to begin with thefundamental observations and draw conclusions, supporting their ideas in a logical progression.The observations in this work indicate that this practice is not reserved for final reports, wherespace may be limited, but a common practice. Perhaps by coaching students earlier in theirstudent career, giving them ample opportunities to practice, receive feedback, revise their work,one would hope to see succinct cogent technical response to these types

In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1].

Instructors in higher education consider various ways of integrating creativity and innovation into thecourses they teach to better prepare students for their future careers [4]. Study shows that between the twocommonly-used approaches that enhance creativity, i.e., teaching vs. practice creativity, stimulatingcreativity by practices is considered to be more effective [5]. In addition, many professors used project-based learning [6, 7] when trying to foster creativity in their courses [8, 9].Due to robotics’ multi-disciplinary nature, we think

Research suggests that early math achievement,math self-efficacy beliefs, and early exposure to STEM-related subjects are all indicative of whetherstudents enroll in STEM majors. While math achievement is a significant indicator of a student’s interestin engineering related fields, early exposure to STEM is one of the most influential factors in whetherstudents continue to seriously pursue related fields in their later academic career.The intent of this paper is to show that early STEM exposure, along with the implementation

Studies have found that self-efficacy correlates with both academicperformance [5] and persistence [6]; research has found that while some aspects of women’sself-efficacy in engineering have increased over the years, their self-efficacy tends to decreaseover the course of their academic career [7].
