outside of the classroom. She is fascinated with how people learn and develop in ways that enable them to thrive. Rebecca’s career began in environmental education and outreach to support natural resources management through experience at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and as a Peace Corps Volunteer. A keen interest in research and evaluation blossomed during her time as an academic editor and researcher at ETH Zurich, which led to her PhD research in Geneva, Switzerland, where she studied the effectiveness of a mobile science learning laboratory. In 2017, she joined the Wisconsin Evaluation Collaborative, UW-Madison, where she continues to support education programs through research and evaluation. By

It is notable that the measured improvements inperformance occurred despite the significant reduction in lecture time compared to the controlgroup.To create additional lecture time as well as a common exam time for multiple sections of thecourse, a new course model is currently being implemented. Instead of two 80-minute or three50-minute lecture times per week, with one of these often used for examinations, we are movingtoward a model of two 50-minute lecture sessions per week plus one common 110-minutelaboratory time per week. The laboratory time will be used for examinations during most weeks,and for extended problem
BCOM coursesrepresented in this study, they were generally quite experienced working in teams on open-endedprojects. The engineering students, in contrast, typically had far less experience working in teamson open-ended projects. By the time the engineering students began their Senior Design capstonecourse, their previous team experience was limited to a few clearly defined class projects with alimited scope or partnering with one or two other students in a laboratory class.A fourth difference between the engineering and BCOM groups in this study is the greaterexposure to leadership, teamwork, management, and similar concepts that the business studentshave received throughout their prior coursework.

the Foundry [1], research teamscan effectively integrate ideas via diverse perspectives through knowledge acquisition andknowledge transfer iterations wherein innovation can be effectively achieved in variousorganizations. An example of this is illustrated in Arce [4] through the development of the PIT. Inthat work, the application of the Foundry to the transformation of the computational teachingapproach for engineering students from a static, antiquated and fixed laboratory to a flexible,mobile model (i.e., MoLE-SI), was illustrated [4]. As part of this process, and prior to itsimplementation, this concept required a draft of a proposal to (successfully) request funds as well assubmit and defend the proposal to move the project forward

Consequently, the originalCyberAmbassadors curriculum incorporates activities, examples and exercises that are centeredin the context of exploratory research. This type of research is generally found in academicsettings, such as research universities and non-profit institutions, as well as in government-funded laboratories. Designing the curriculum to reflect the language and positions common tothese settings (e.g., investigator, research group, graduate student, postdoc) is an important partof the constructivist and sociocultural pedagogy embraced by the CyberAmbassadors project[7]–[9]. In this approach, learning takes place most effectively in contexts that are familiar andrelevant

I decided tofurther my education and I was admitted to the physics doctorate program in the United States.As a graduate student I taught various physics and science courses every semester includingwinter and summer sessions for more than five years, both as a laboratory and discussion sessioninstructor.When I teach, I think about my past experiences with all of my professors. Unfortunately, I cannotcount many excellent teachers in my education but I learned a lot from the ones who had flaws. Tobe a good physics teacher it is not enough to possess the knowledge but have the ability toeffectively transfer that knowledge to the students. When teaching introductory-level

Most programs have been using the results of student performance on specificproblems, laboratory experiments, design projects, or other types of reports as primary directmeasurement for assessing student outcomes. Other instruments such as results of thefundamentals of engineering (FE) exam and student surveys are used as secondary instrumentsfor the assessment of student outcomes. Most programs have been using the same instrumentsfor the assessment of both student outcomes
perceived values. There were four salient categories of counterspaces each fostering avariety of values for these students. 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]. This work sheds light upon thinking aboutthe

Next, we looked at the profession of the engineer doing work. This constructincluded codes of a designer, technician, tradesman, mechanic, builder, driver, craftsman, factoryworker, or an object/engine (if the child drew an object rather than a person). Lastly, weexamined the activities that the engineer was involved in, which includes images ofbuilding/fixing, designing, drawings/blueprints, products of mechanical engineering, products ofcivil engineering, trains, laboratory work, engineering design process, SEEK class activities andusing tools.In addition to these

institutions ofhigher education throughout the U.S. have experienced additional demands necessitated by themove to online platforms for all teaching and administrative work, as well as strains placed onresearch agendas as laboratories have been closed, fieldwork has been limited, and in-personcontact has been curtailed. At the time of this writing, many universities have remainedshuttered, relying on remote instruction and administration; others have adopted hybrid models.Of those that attempted to fully open for in-person instruction in fall of 2020, many had to asquickly shut down again and send students home, as outbreaks have followed openings [41, 42,43, 44].The economic impacts of the pandemic on the U.S. are many and range in severity.
