literature that international students face different challengeswhen compared with domestic students [11]. One of the challenges includes engaging in a newacademic environment [2] and the academic challenges that come alongside that. Thesechallenges can be discipline-specific and are often unaddressed by the larger school-wide supportsystems. For example, understanding where to get tutoring support for specific technical classesor the differences between laboratory and lecture-based courses. Discipline-specific academicadvisors do offer this support to students, but many international students aren’t sure whatsupport they should be seeking in terms of academic items. Additionally, items such asmismatched writing strategies from a home country to the

The findings of this study contribute to the current researcharound counterspaces applying an added context to Black engineering students. Counterspacesare a necessary entity to for Black engineering students to feel supported and connected to theirinstitutions. Ong suggests counterspaces can be physical, conceptual or ideological settings andthat by having counterspaces in close proximity to the power structures of STEM, engineeringprograms can “set the tone for what kinds of social behaviors are encouraged and tolerated inclassrooms, laboratories and other social space” [9].

found useful in teaching calculus and physics, in most universities,calculus and physics are taught as two separate subjects in their respective departments.The connection between calculus and calculus-based physics is obvious both from the historicalview and practical perspectives. Anecdotally we have often found that some physics teachersclaim that their students do not have the pre-requisite calculus knowledge to help them masterphysics. Is this the case? There has been no significant research on transfer of learning fromcalculus to physics. Therefore, assessing transfer of learning from calculus to physics is thecentral focus of this study
was not enough development time for faculty before launch to permit athorough investigation into what portions of the teaching tasks should be common betweenfaculty, and which portions were best left up to individuals to decide. A common struggle was,and continues to be, finding the balance between treating SCOPE as teaching multiple sectionsof the same course and therefore requiring common practices; versus acknowledging that eachproject is unique and therefore requires specific decisions regarding policies such asadvising/mentorship and grading. Providing more time for faculty development of the Page 13.8.5pedagogical tools would

In those cases,they even completed in-class example problems on their own, despite missing the instructor’soral presentation and some instructor annotations in Private Ink.OutcomesEvaluation of the findings is still under way, plus the course will be taught using the technologyin the fall of 2008, so the findings reported in this study are preliminary. The effectiveness oflearning using pen-based technology with DyKnow was assessed in four different ways: (a)student surveys, (b) institute assessment, (c) student performance on tests, and (d) instructorreflection.
