First, we were surprised by the number of differentactivities or experiences that the students listed as being most meaningful to them, and that noactivity or experience was listed by more than 11 students. This suggests it is unlikely that wecan plan any one activity that will be meaningful to an entire cohort of students, and thatincluding a diverse group of activities will make it

We will document characteristics of the problematic situation (i.e.,location, type of infrastructure, issue to be addressed), documents either exchanged and orproduced (i.e. photos, diagrams, plans, contracts, bids), information about the stakeholders (i.e.role, expertise), and actions performed by them. Through the preliminary courses, in the fieldstudents will collect information regarding performance aspects of buildings connected to designissues. Then, they will feed the information into an ad hoc repository. A major framing elementof the content in the database will be: a. the performance of the infrastructure under high environmental stress conditions, and b. how this performance can be either

The educational research questions tested during theimplementation of the CAPS program focus on studying (a) how these interventions affect thedevelopment of social belonging and engineering identity of CAPS scholars, and (b) the impactof Mentor+ on academic resilience and progress to degree. The findings will help enhance theCAPS program and establish a sustainable Scholars Support Program at the university that canbe transferred to similar culturally diverse institutions to increase success for students who havesocio-economic challenges, and can be used for all scholars in the College regardless of thesource of their scholarships.This
question has three requirements. The question must be1) clearly written, 2) error-free, and 3) answerable within 3 minutes of testing time for averagestudents. Faculty are asked to focus on one or two key concepts only to design the question.Otherwise the question is not posed as an MC question.Category A questions are those in which questions are well-posed, and 60% or more of the classcan answer them correctly. On figure 2, Q1 and Q4 fit this category. Category B questions arethose where the questions are well-posed but less than 60% of the class can answer themcorrectly. Here Q2 fits that category. The response in Q3 on the other hand shows a completelydifferent trend. Such responses may happen due to one of three reasons: 1) the question

Theseactivities fill the gap caused by lack of opportunities to work on engaging problems related to thehuman body, preparing students better to work in the medical field. Our recommendation is toperform a complete study with more students and the ability to conduct interviews.Implementation of these activities and labs could better prepare students to be creative andcritical thinkers, and therefore, better health professionals.References[1] Tobin, K. and Fraser, B.

This frameworkguided the research, including the questions asked, methodology used, and analytic decisions wemade.Research QuestionsTo investigate optimization in our specific context, we set out to answer the following question: 1. How do students and their teacher collectively optimize a multi-objective design through modeling and analysis? A. What role does risk taking play in the process and in presenting their final prototype? B. What knowledge, tools, and approaches do they use to improve their designs?Research Methods Our study takes an ethnographic perspective that is informed by discourse analysis toinvestigate precollege engineering because classroom activity

Among other reasons, it is likely that they have notdeveloped proper study habits or the skills necessary to review and correct their work during anexamination. To account for this, multiple opportunities were provided on each of the midtermexams. For each of the midterm exams, the final score was the sum of the best scores in eachsection (described below) from any of the exam attempts. There was only one attempt on thefinal exam, which had a similar structure as the midterm exams.In version 1 of the assessment model, three attempts (A, B and C) at each exam were offered.There were four midterm exams, so a total of twelve exams plus the final exam were offeredduring the semester.

The program implementation component included program data associated withcurriculum content and format, recruiting approach, and participant data from five cohorts. Dueto the delayed employment of the assessment, the evaluation component included findings fromtwo cohorts using pre- and post-quizzes on knowledge of entrepreneurship terms and pre- andpost-surveys that captured changes in perceptions of entrepreneurship and customer interview.The results of this study indicated that while student interest on entrepreneurship remainedconstant, there were significant improvements of participants in three areas of self-efficacy: (a)entrepreneurship, (b) marketing and business planning, and (c) customer interview

Alongwith that, there has also been a focus on participating in competitions such as Shell-Eco Marathon byseniors for their capstone project. An opportunity arose to address both these issues by building anengine/chassis dynamometer.A funding request has been granted by a robotics company paving the way for design and build of anengine/chassis dynamometer. The dynamometer, in its first iteration, cost about $10,000 but a reviseddesign costs under $8,000.

The objective was to compare students’ perceptions of both kinds of educationalexperiences.
