Understanding and acknowledging that students' life experiences,social background and/or cultural history can vary from those of the instructor can helpensure that attempts of humor are not degrading, offensive or excessive.This poster explores both the positive and negative effects of humor in the collegiateclassroom.

Abstract Brain development is not a constant process. Parts of a human’s braindevelop sooner than other parts. Several medical researchers have discoveredthat the emotional portion of a human’s brain develops rather quickly. Theemotional portion becomes dominated in a person’s teens and early twenties.The rational side of the brain development begins to overtake the emotional sideas most people reach their mid-twenties. This is not always the case. Someyounger students are very rational thinking people while some adults neverdevelop out of the emotional dominated thinking. As seasoned engineering educators, most of us think rationally aboutproblem solving and how we learn. This guides us toward our “best approach” toteaching and

Who You Know Does Matter in Engineering Self Efficacy Susan Amato-Henderson, Jessica Mariano, Pete Cattelino, and Brian Hannon Michigan Technological University High performance in high school math and science are necessary prerequisites for successin science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) majors in college. However, of thesub-group of students who excel in these areas in high school, very few choose to pursue aSTEM degree in post-secondary education. Bandura’s (1986) social cognitive theory suggeststhat a student’s knowledge, skills, and previous accomplishments are not always the bestpredicators of subsequent
