Students took advantage of the outcomebased assignments to progress at their chosen rate, with several students finishing the course oneor two weeks prior to the end of the term.IntroductionIf one is seeking information on the best teaching practices in higher education, or engineeringeducation, you do not need to go far to find a vast library of resources. Terms such as “activelearning”, “flipped classrooms”, “hybrid courses”, “reflective thinking”, “standards-based grading”,and others run through the literature (for examples see Felder et. al, 2011[1]). As an engineeringprofessor, I find the number of options and recommendations to be somewhat daunting. Myneeds are not for more

Theseprocedures are in effect for our 2016-2022 ABET cycle. With 1/3 of courses being reviewed each year (1/6 in fall, 1/6 in spring), the matchbetween assignments and targeted SOs are reviewed twice in the ABET accreditation cycle. Forthe Assignment Review assessment, the instructor is required to submit a copy of an assignment(+ solution) that targets each SO associated with his/her course. It is recommended that, ifpossible, one assignment be designed to target multiple student outcomes. This serves todiminish the volume of data collected

Teaching Model1 recommends that instructors use the ideas of Interpersonal Rapportand Intellectual Excitement as guides towards becoming an effective professor. These categoriesare broad and it is apparent that the assessment of performance is unavoidably subjective. Eachindividual brings a unique perspective to a classroom experience, which influences theirperception of the communication skills, organization, and caring spirit of the professor. Whilethe proposed rubric does not eliminate the subjectivity of a professor’s teaching performance, itdoes provide a tool for young professors to reflect on performance and identify focus areas thatare shown to improve teaching.Final Credits – AcknowledgementsThe inspiration for this collaboration began at

(fNIRS). fNIRS monitors brain activity by measuring the changeof hemoglobin in human cortex, which is associated with cognitive activities [24]. fNIRSsensors (including sources and detectors) placed on a wearable cap or band emit near infraredlights (wavelength 700-900nm) into the cortex and the detectors receive the light which is notabsorbed and reflected back. Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin(HbR) absorb more light than other tissues in the brain and they have different absorptionspectra, therefore, the relative change of hemoglobin, or Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent(BOLD) response can be captured by the use of light attenuation at multiple wavelengths.As a non-invasive, safe and portable technique, fNIRS can be used

, the STEM elements that are inherent in making can be made all the moreobvious. This could be attributed to one of three ways. First, it situates making in contexts thatare personal, culturally, socially relevant to students. Second, it can encourage students to be partof a production pipeline and contribute to something novel and useful to society. Third,involvement in this form of making places students in long-term scenarios acting as Makers fullyengaging in STEM. We believe this approach to making can enable students to gain a holisticview of their making ability as well understand how developed knowledge can be transferred.This reflects Grotevant’s process of identity formation as arising out of continual exploration andevaluation 9

On the other hand, if the question was phrased to be too specific, it would trigger awide range of feedback (i.e., a normal distribution curve with a high deviation).According to the instructor, the P2P platform was somehow functionally coupled with thelearning management system (LMS). From time to time, students needed to visit the LMS towatch the lecture recordings to reflect the previous concepts during the self-study of newconcepts. Once students developed a routine habit of using the platform, it was also used bythe instructor to make important course announcements and conduct course surveys.Conclusion, Limitation, and Future WorkThis paper presents a new learning

By the end of the module, students create anautonomous line following robot. Throughout the process, students are asked to reflect upon howthey could improve upon the previous week’s design. As part of this process students areintroduced to various electrical/electronic devices, such as a digital multimeter, a DC powersupply, SPST and SPDT switches, a phototransistor, DC motors and a microcontroller.

In non-discipline specific courses, it can be challenging to designa project that piques the interest of all students. Some, like Shepard, will opt for giving thestudents a choice of projects. Most professors do not allow students to design and choose theirprojects, as it can be tough to achieve engineering learning and grading rubrics can bechallenging.

is that women in academia are often seen as lessaccomplished and less capable than their male counterparts regardless of their achievementsand as a result, receive lower ratings [16]. Most evaluations do not reflect the faculty’sknowledge, clarity and organization, but show students’ attitudes towards the class andinstructor instead of information on teaching performance, resulting in some instructorsreceiving higher rating by offering students extra grades [14], [17].There are fewer studies conducted on minority faculty research, especially females and racialminorities, compared to studies on faculty evaluations [18].
