expressed explicit disinterest in the topics that centeredaround U.S. issues and recommended adding international topics to the course. For all of thestudents, even the one who had been in the U.S. the longest, their international identity wasstronger than their racial identity. This seems to be at odds with how the other students in theclass positioned these international students of color–as experts in racial issues. These findingshave implications for the design and facilitation of sociotechnical content in engineeringcoursework, both in terms of creating scaffolds for students new to the U.S. and motivation tocreate content focusing on international contexts. In future work, we plan to focus on howinternational students of color are positioned

In this way, they come up with the information they want to gain on theirown and process that information as the means for solving their problem. To put this theory tothe test, the researchers designed a study that measured students’ ability to recall andspontaneously use information that they had just recently acquired. Two test groups wereformed, comprised of 5th and 6th graders who were at least one year behind their peers in mathachievements. The first group was introduced to the concept of “planning a trip” by viewing thefirst ten minutes of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Indiana is shown retrieving anidol from ancient ruins in the South American jungle.

Considerable time is spent in class providing formative and summative feedback withthese conventional sketching practices. Because of the importance of sketching in developingvisualization abilities, even with the success of the format change on exams, there are no plans toreplace current lecture and lab sketching activities with items and exercises similar to those beingused on exams.References[1] N.L.

The future success of transferstudents is essential to a 4-year University like UTSA which has many transfer students. It isreported that transfer students often experience difficulty feeling part of the student communityand this can negatively impact their future academic achievements [3].

Because cheating is also endemic, the team decided that thequestions should use randomly generated inputs.9 Mastery learning with empathy requires givingstudents multiple attempts to show that mastery.

Another idea that I had gleaned from conversationswith students was that they didn’t remember much from their computer science Introduction toComputing courses because it seemed impractical. “Hello, world” and other programs they hadbeen asked to write were not related to what they saw as their future career. My goal, therefore,was to demonstrate relevance to my students. Thus, each problem they were asked to solveneeded to relate to chemical engineering. This was made more challenging by the fact that thestudents had very limited knowledge of what chemical engineering was at the time they weretaking this course. My plan was to demonstrate a variety of

One co-leader asserts the efficacyof co-leadership on team outcomes based on “the quality of what we were able to produce, just becausewe had two people behind it rather than the typical [singular leader].” Preliminary data consistentlyshows that co-leaders feel confident in the quality of their work due to the increased bandwidth madepossible by co-leadership.One co-leader focused on the “technical side” of the project while his counterpart focused on the “bigpicture, business plan” side of the project

Unit Costs are actually fullyweighted costs (for example, piping) including labor and overhead and typical auxiliaries (such assupports and insulation for piping) normalized to a unit of construction. The straightforward andrelatively safe application of the Unit Cost approach should be distinguished from very challengingand time-consuming Detailed Costing, which requires exhaustive Work Breakdown Statementsand Bills of Materials at a minimum. While Unit Costs are interesting in some courses and relatedpractice such as HVAC engineering, Detailed Costing is best avoided except when attempted insemester long design courses. In
