about pursuing studies and careers in these fields. Forthese students, “engineering” is much more than a field of study. Most (69%) view it as a sciencededicated to solving problems, creating, and building things to satisfy needs. Only 19%considered engineering specifically as a career or field of study. While we cannot infer that theirviews are driving their interest, it is interesting to notice that 81% of these students indicated thatthey like engineering and will consider studying it. Overwhelmingly, these students associatedthings or jobs done by engineers with creativity, design, planning, and problem solving toimprove human life—An engineer designs, created, plans, and improves; s/he solved problemswith computers, robots, machines; an

Session 3130 Threats to Validity in a Study of the Effects of Hypermedia Instruction on Learning Outcomes - a Switched Replications Experiment Malgorzata S. Zywno Ryerson UniversityAbstractEducational researchers in university settings face many difficulties in trying to conduct controlledaction research studies on the effects of hypermedia on learning outcomes, where threats tovalidity and reliability are often beyond the influence of the investigator. Switched Replicationsexperiment and another, semester

As a response, the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) in 2020 forced onto Allen Field residents a buyout program, which allowed them to“[s]ell their houses to the county at market value and get assistance to move out of the floodplain”13.Buyout ProgramBuyout programs avoid the problem of moving people to safer areas but, as the experiences of theFijian citizens showed, relocation is not the only problem faced by
STEM field. The "STEM Identity Scale" developed by Setren et al. is acommonly used instrument that evaluates students' sense of belonging and identification withSTEM disciplines (2019). Additionally, studies have used surveys to assess students'identification with stereotypes and their connection to STEM (Cheryan et al., 2017).Belongingness is typically assessed using self-report measures that gauge students' feelings ofinclusion, social acceptance, and connection within their academic community. The"Belongingness Scale" developed by Good et al. is widely utilized to measure students' sense ofbelonging in STEM fields (2012). Expanding on Good et al.’s work in belongingnessmeasurement, Walton and Cohen have also employed surveys to assess
appropriate designs, but tocommunicate these designs in written, oral, and graphical form to a variety of audiences rangingfrom their technical peers to the general public. Indeed, almost all professional engineeringorganizations cite effective communication skills as a top priority for graduating engineers. Forinstance, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)’s The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century outlines expectations for engineers entering practice within thenear future (National Academy of Engineering, 2004). The report states that it is impossible topractice engineering without communication, and engineers functioning in global networks musthave “an ability to communicate convincingly and to shape the opinions and
questions may not be subject to bias; the respondents may know that a statement is true,but they do not have the experience to understand why the statement is true.Retrospective post-then-pre survey designThe E3 team decided on the retrospective post-then-pre design as an alternative survey format forsubsequent program evaluation. The retrospective post-then-pre design was proposed in the late1970’s as a way to minimize/eliminate response shift bias in self-reporting pre-post surveys36. Inthe retrospective post-then-pre design, both before and after information is collected at programconclusion. The participant is asked to rate his/her current knowledge/skills/attitudes/etc.behavior as a result of the program, and is also asked to reflect back and

While all of the participants had the opportunity towork on-site within the design clinic over the term, one of them noted that they started the co-opterm working remotely. This student noted that in the remote environment it was morechallenging to get acquainted with

It seems likebelonging is a term that offices are allowed to include in their name as opposed to diversity, andalready many offices have removed or switched around the words equity and inclusion.”Karter noted that “I wouldn’t say there has been any major closures or seen any offices dissolve,but it’s been more just trying to find a way so that we are still providing the necessary resourcesand support for our students to succeed in whatever it is that they do without, I guess, reallyclearly naming it as this is for a certain group. This new legislation, it does say that we are able toprovide things for underrepresented [students]. It’s just how can we define theunderrepresented.”Morgan noted that “My particular office[’s]... mission
students, interleaved practice on homework also helped in unit test preparation, butless so than the other practices. Notably, this practice could have been implemented moreeffectively and consistently throughout the semester. For future study, integrating only onepractice per semester would make learning gains associated with the practice more obvious, butmore importantly, asking students to comment specifically on each practice would improve thebreadth of feedback and perspectives.References[1] S.
