undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences (COAS) ofwhich N=1,330 are identified as STEM students. These students will be provided with theinitial 12-question survey. Data analysis will identify student perceptions and will allow forimplementation of programs ranging from faculty mentorship to faculty outreach.To further assess relationships identified, the research team plans to organize focus groups withstudent participants. For example, if lack of awareness is the greatest issue preventing studentsfrom participating in URE, then steps to remediate this can be taken, such as the need forgreater publicizing of campus research opportunities. Once we know more about time usage,we will address time management in terms of studying and

Nedic (2013) at the University of South Australia shines light onthe collaborative aspect of remote labs. The study saw international students organizethemselves autonomously to complete group lab assignments and recorded their planning andcommunication. The results showed that students, despite being from different countries,exhibited politeness when trying to create social groups and complete the remote labs.

Asurvey was conducted at the end of the semester to collect student responses on theachievement of course outcomes using this methodology. Full survey results would becomemore meaningful after the course is offered a few more times using this approach. However,student responses during class activities and discussions, and the course survey indicate thatthe new approach (description of course outcomes, and planning and execution of learningactivities and assessments) is well received.

All of these new components havecreated challenges in engineering and manufacturing that are threatening to delay the project.You have been called to a meeting to finalize the design of the YS so that manufacturing won’tbe delayed but first you need to decide as a team if a new suspension component, called a swaybar, will be added to the YS.

An advisor isresponsible for providing information on degree requirements and guidance for students tocomplete a degree plan. A mentor, on the other hand is a positive role model who can guide andmotivate student professionally. A mentor can provide resources and tools that will stimulateengagement in discussions about intellectual issues that will increase student’s aspiration

For many of the surveyedemployers, veteran employees are leaders, directly and indirectly, and make a difference in theirorganizations.

The automated car concept was evolved truly in 1980s with Carnegie Melon University’sNavLab and ALV projects which resulted in ALVINN which used a neural network to drive [8].The automotive industries are conducting significant research and development efforts in thearea of autonomous vehicles. The major automotive companies like Toyota, Ford, MercedesBenz, BMW, Volvo have announced their plans for creating an autonomous car. In the racetowards autonomous vehicles, Tesla and Waymo (from Google) are two of the most advancedcompanies. In 2014, Google introduced Google car with camera

One approach toencourage conceptual change in engineering statics in particular is through metacognitiveprompts: questions designed to focus student attention on planning and evaluating different waysof representing a problem before beginning a solution (Steif, Lobue, Kara, & Fay, 2010). Steif etal. (2010) implemented metacognitive prompts in the form of “body-centered talk” in anintroductory statics course, where students were prompted to focus on key concepts and developa conceptual understanding of the problem before attempting to solve it. The “body-centeredtalk” focused on encouraging students to think specifically about bodies in the problem,interactions between bodies, and drawing correct free-body

One limitation of this study was that we used one-minutechunks in the data analysis, which did not give high granularity, but was necessary to simplifythe analysis. For future work, we plan to explore students’ four design strategies usage with abigger sample size and for a longer time. We might also include a second intervention toencourage students’ optimum design strategy usage that might result in better designperformances.AcknowledgmentResearch reported in this paper was supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundationunder the award DRL #1503436.
