An example of a case study is shown in Appendix B [24]. Supplementing instructor-led lectures, the course welcomed 4 guest speakers who presented about their respectiveacademic/career work (Appendix Table 3). These guest lectures facilitated student networkingwith professionals and exposure to diverse neuroengineering career paths.Assignments and Final Project: To pass this course, students were expected to attend class,complete required assignments, and deliver a final presentation (see Appendix Table 4 fordetails). For this presentation, the class was divided into 4 groups of 5 students

During bi-weekly meetings the faculty identified a total of 25 topics, which were combined or prioritized to reducethe number to 11 key concepts. The 11 concepts will be used for the question creation phase, where 3-5questions will be created for each concept. Once the questions are created, they will be tested in variousclassrooms. Based on the results from evaluating these questions, we plan to reduce the final number

study is guided primarily by the concepts of Teacher Noticing and Teacher Beliefs. Thesetwo concepts inform our research questions and guide our analysis and findings. First, TeacherNoticing originated from Sherin et al.’s [12] book that conceptualized how a teacher’s noticing-ability in the classroom impacts the dynamic teaching and learning processes. Initiallyconstructed, ‘noticing’ is an ephemeral phenomenon. It happens instantaneously and under thenoise of other, more conscious, mental processes. This construct stems from two psychologicalconcepts: Teachers have selective attention to notice a situation in the classroom, then enactprofessional knowledge-based reasoning. However, beyond just in-the-moment, a teacher’slesson plan

Results and Feedback We have quantitative results from the pre- and mid-semester surveys at this time, and oursample was smaller than expected (n = 20 pre-, n = 16 mid-semester). Though we do not yethave post-semester data to run our planned quantitative analyses, we noticed in the descriptives(see Table 1) that our sample started out rating themselves so high on the 4Cs that there is notmuch room for growth. Thus, we need to find a way to capture most/all of the class in order todetect an effect if one exists. Also, these students already receive CATME training to assist themin assigning more realistic ratings to themselves and peers. We would like to adapt this trainingfor our survey next semester and see if the self-reports change
