–15-minute conclusion where fellows share their achievements from the session and formulate anaccountability plan for the next session. As part of the action research process, this groupcoaching model was revised in a second iteration of the institute. This paper aims to disseminatefive lessons learned to faculty developers in designing and leading a group coaching model.(1) Engineering instructional faculty are seeking community, over expertise.Previous research and the case study research for this project identified that the professionaldevelopment needs of EIF are centered around building community [4]. EIFs are seeking toengage in learning experiences that involve learning from other EIFs, sharing their efforts andbeing recognized for

develop a community withpeers in the same field.Two faculty members, who are active STEM education researchers, have instituted a newseminar series specifically for these students that is designed to realign the course withengineering education topics, continuously improve the Ph.D. curriculum, and assist students ontheir Ph.D. paths. The group of faculty and students began meeting every other week to discusstopics specifically related to STEM education and the needs of graduate school in lieu ofattending the general engineering seminars. This new seminar series covers multiple topicsapplicable to students in STEM education, including developing a plan of study, writing andpresenting a proposal for a dissertation, and on-campus graduate
relatively brief peer comments, so weconsidered other models. In our search of frameworks and rubrics, we observed that a significantamount of the peer feedback literature is based in medical education because commonpedagogical practices in the field, such as clinical rotations, necessitate immediate feedback froman instructor. Still, their approaches can likely be applied to other group or team-based learningsettings. A well-known approach to evaluating teamwork behaviors includes the TeamUP rubric.The TeamUP rubric was developed in the form of a Likert-scale survey for midwifery studentsand includes five domains: planning, environment, facilitating the contributions of others,managing conflict, and contributing to the team project [20]. Although

That committee is composed of national thought leaders and subjectmatter experts from academia, the public sector, and industry. It is co-chaired by CharlesBolden— a retired United States Marine Corps Major General, former astronaut who crewedfour Space Shuttle missions, and former Administrator of NASA—and Lisa Jackson—a formerEPA Administrator and current Vice President of
experiences from their respective teamsand classes that have benefited them in their professional careers. Regarding their classes, acommon theme emerged with participants highlighting specific courses or discussing theimportance of time management skills. In contrast, when discussing their team experiences,participants tended to elaborate more, often listing multiple skills or experiences. On the teamside, many responses emphasized the value of teamwork and project management. Participantsdescribed learning how to effectively plan and communicate with team members as crucial skillsthat have translated directly to their professional endeavors.Question 5 aimed to uncover what participants considered most important to them in their teamexperiences
emphasis on Black students) with items relatedto ethnic identity [17]–[19]. While making the CAM survey items more appropriate to Latinaengineering students, this approach would still leave the two research stages disjointed andunconnected since ethnic identity is a narrowly focused construct that fails to encompass allrelevant parameters. Greater coherence is achieved by incorporating aspects of the CCWMmodel in the first-stage survey instrument. Using Hiramori’s [20] quantitative implementation ofthe CCWM as a guide to modify CAM survey items related to racial identity [5], we willleverage the quantitative first stage results for planning the qualitative CCWM framework in thesecond stage of our study.

As a next step I plan toimplement data physicalization in a bio-inspired design course where comparative data betweenvarious species could be meaningful to visualize as physical objects as it relates to designabstraction and creating a connection to other species. Our classes are moving further and furtherfrom physical reality and have become digital and virtual. If we agree that making stuff is specialfor us, data physicalization could be an avenue to get back to making, to increasing sensoryavenues, to including other ways of knowing, to spatial perception, to embodied cognition. Apaper from 2013 discussed design for emotional attachment and technological adaptability as anapproach to

Sixty percent of onboarded students have planned at least one opportunityand 95% of those students have chosen at least one opportunity that includes a competency theyare focusing on. Since many of these are planned in the future, just 5% of these have completedthe activity and reflected so far, but we expect that number to grow significantly in the future.Currently, as mentioned, students can earn t-shirts for first time level up submissions and digitalcredentials to share on LinkedIn upon completion of a required number of reflections.

Students learn about the dangers of working with electricalAC and DC currents that can flow through the body. They are advised to be extremely cautiouswhile working on these circuits. A hard copy of the effects of AC and DC currents from theIEEE standard on page 17 in [12] is given to students in the
2024 semester-end survey asked students to rate twelve course elementson a 4-point scale from “not at all effective” (1) to “highly effective” (4) in aiding their learning.The majority of the class found the quiz effective, giving it a mean ranking of 2.66. However, itis notable that only the exam corrections assignment (the other major metacognitive activity) wasrated lower than this. It is the perception of the instructors that the fall semester cohorts tend toengage more with these aspects of the course, and they plan to repeat this survey for severalsemesters to determine if there is a difference between the semesters. Regardless, there is roomfor improvement in how metacognition is encouraged in the course.AttendanceAttendance is

In this project we will implement a systematic method and plan to materialize ourvision into actions and deliverables.Step 01: Attend Professional Development WorkshopIn September 2022, the team attended a professional development workshop: OER 101organized by TBR. The workshop had three parts. The first part highlighted current states oftextbooks, increased cost of instructional materials over the last decade and the effects of highcost instructional materials on student learning. The values of OER to the students, instructorsand the institutions are also discussed in this part based on several major studies. The second partof the workshop focused on different creative commons licenses

Removing an Unsupported Statement in Engineering Education Literature Keith E. Holbert and George G. Karady Arizona State University, Tempe, AZAbstractThe STATEMENT that “students retain 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% ofwhat they see, …” enjoys widespread appearance in engineering education papers. The firstarchived occurrence of the STATEMENT emerges in a trade magazine article by Treichler (1967).A continuous improvement plan compels the re-evaluation of the status quo, and as such thispaper provides a critical review of this unsupported STATEMENT and its proliferation.
