The survey also aimed to assess theperceived difficulty of the workload and homework assignments. In the end, students self-assessed their current level of understanding of the 9 key concepts introduced in the course.Additionally, the survey aimed to identify any barriers that might have posed challenges tounderstanding these 9 key concepts of QIS.Student Exit Interview: Following this student exit survey, a 45-minute semi-structured interviewwas conducted

Within the reflections shared, it was mentioned that several panelmembers appreciated the opportunity to increase their understanding of how the Federalgovernment works, thus demonstrating a desire for more active transparency when it comes toSTEM education policy for non-Federal stakeholders of STEM education. Among the panel’srecommendations provided, some that stood out were that Federal STEM efforts should 1. Ensure the inclusion of the multiple disciplines within STEM in future strategic plans and government programs. 2. Encourage the inclusion of STEM in reading and writing curricula. 3

Reviewing case studies of strategic design thinking “can help students realize the power and utility of iterative design.”1 Reflection in various contexts can be very helpful as well32. 4. Risk-taking and iteration: Offering students with lessons about learning from failures, approaching and accepting them, can be very effective in allowing students to appreciate iteration and take more risks while designing. “Instruction and scaffolding for systematic design” was selected as an appropriate teachingstrategy to illustrate the role of iteration in spacecraft design with respect to cost and schedulingissues.

In general, the bridge circuit is used to detect small changes in theresistance of any of the resistors, which is reflected as a change in the output voltage. Thestudents are asked to derive the expression of the output voltage, Vo, as a function of the inputvoltage and the Wheatstone bridge resistive network, which contains the thermistor. The studentsare encouraged to refine their expression into the fewest terms possible to make MATLABprogramming and downstream design much easier to handle. The students are then required towrite a MATLAB script to simulate the thermistor and the Wheatstone bridge circuit. They are touse the thermistor formula (Equation 1) and the Vo(T

Increasedexposure of this group raises the conversation in academia to a new level and createspartnerships based on scholarship with diversity as an added benefit. There are, however, stillunique challenges and opportunities. The representation of URM women faculty at the Top 50institutions (based on research expenditures) is not reflective of demographics due to acombination of selection/self selection processes and hidden biases in the academia (Nelson,2007).

One otherdrawback in using this tool is that it may not give the full picture about the learningexperiences of our students while abroad.Given this review, we assert that assessment of study abroad programs in a comprehensiveway is necessary but has not been done to a sufficient degree. Assessment tools exist oncultural sensitivity (e.g., IDI), however, results on these alone do not reflect the growth inknowledge our engineering students need to have, and show to justify the expense directedinto these programs.

During the activity teachers are availablefor student support, but also have the opportunity to stand back and observe student learning.This allows teachers to see gaps within students’ ability to utilize educational material and takenotes. In the following days in the classroom, teachers now have a personal experience forstudents to reflect on while revisiting key material. For example, an English teacher at oneschool realized that while students had learned about citations, many of the
