The first thirtyminutes of class time are typically spent as a whole group with the faculty instructors coveringthe main themes of the day through a mix of lecture and group activities. In the last hour,former-STS-student TAs lead activities that reinforce the STS Postures and topics covered in thefirst 30 minutes.

As one student noted, “The labs were a good way to build basic lab skills andexposure for students who were previously unable to work in a college lab”. By the end of thecourse, 87% agreed or strongly agreed with the survey comment, “Gaining hands-on lab skills isan important part of this course. I believe it should be continued, possibly with more labs, infuture years.”Figure 2: Comparison of students’ confidence in their lab skills before and after completing each of thethree labs. While most students (63%) felt confident with their pipetting skills prior to Lab 1, almost all thestudents (90%) felt confident post-lab. The increase

Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab

After building the codebook, the remaining transcripts were coded with a subsample ofdata independently coded by both coders with an intercoder reliability score of 0.71.

We can understand and often talk, but are they absorbingwhat they need to be able to do to be successful in their career? So that is a kind of change ofmind from the faculty-centered to more student-centered, learning focused.” Relatively,teaching technology, teaching method or learning method may be indirectly impacted byaccreditation, as Mr. Miller argued, “there are people here who are from our classes.

So far, as shown in Table 9, the Noyce program hasenrolled 16 interns (undergraduate students who have demonstrated some interest in teaching as a career)and 43 scholars (undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the college’s teaching certificationprogram). Cumulative demographics for all cohorts (I through IV) indicate a distribution of 55% femaleand 45% male students.

Regarding the former, I described to Lauren my hope that the reflection activity we discussed helped the learners inquestion—graduate students interested in engineering education—relate their experiences in an onlineworkshop to prior experiences and knowledge about engineering education, as well as to anticipatedexperiences in their academic careers. Ideally, learners would gain more from the online workshopexperiences by understanding them in this larger temporal context. What I am calling integration in the person is another
renewable energy-based nanotechnology education module that is focused on the development of next-generationsolar cells. This specific topic was selected due to the rising interest of early-career engineers inadvanced energy conversion technologies. Furthermore, the local expertise regarding thisspecific form of solar energy conversion allowed for a complete, yet simplified, picture of thefundamental scientific and nanotechnology principles to be communicated to the FYE students.That is, by having a technical expert that was both familiar with the utilization of quantum dotsolar cells and the FYE program at Purdue, a clear overlap in student abilities andnanotechnology relevance was established.Quantum Dot Solar Cells.

Multi-disciplinary teams provide an excellent way to promote integration that allows for morecomplex projects to be undertaken (Adams 2003; Salas et al. 2008). Capstone courses furtherprovide a comprehensive evaluation of students’ prior knowledge that is applied to real projectsthrough individual and/or team based structures (Davis 2002; Jenkins et al. 2002).
