manufacturing capabilities of the Alfred State clean room. As with all projects, there were some portions of the microfabrication process that were notexecuted as planned. The aluminum traces for device design configurations 1.1 and 2.1 wereunable to be realized due to unforeseen design flaws. There was not enough spacing between the20 µm wide traces for the photomask laser printer to properly define those elements. In addition,the traces failed due to overdeveloping in the photoresist developer solution. The configurationswith smaller critical dimensions were washed away while waiting for larger features in the otherconfigurations to develop properly. These results, although not desired, are still valuablefeedback concerning the student’s MEMS
ways that the leadership of an organizationcan create a diverse cast and set the stage for creativity and innovation to occur before describingnine specific actions that leadership should take. Several of these relate to building a communitythat values, encourages, and celebrates creativity. To be clear: this is a cultural necessity thatmust be fostered by the organization’s leadership.Too often, our programs hold up one-offs as a sign of programmatic achievement, a sort of “lookwhat that kid did!”, but these achievements are singular and were often completed asindependent study or extracurricular activities rather than as part of a broad plan for all students.By building a creative community, we suggest that all student efforts are

PA4tells us that more experience with the concepts and process, and application of the results, isnecessary. This suggests that — in addition to inserting ethics modules in courses throughout theentire degree plan — that there could be multiple ethics checkpoints through the semester. PA5approaches ethics from the well-developed rationality of an engineer! There are always tradeoffsto be considered and with the instruction and practice provided, this student indicates that it ispossible to “engineer” a maximization of ethics while actively minimizing harms (this issomething we would hope for!) Similarly, PA6 concludes that one can

The software engineering program offers a course that includesresearch methods content, among other topics.In this paper, the course that was developed is presented. Specifically, the types of content thatwere included are discussed and an overview of each of the weekly modules is presented. Theparticular goals of each module and the instruction of research methods applicable to theadversarial cybersecurity domain are reviewed.This paper continues with a review of relevant prior work. Then, it provides context bypresenting the existing graduate programs at NDSU and the planned cybersecurity programs.The need that drove the development of the new programs is then discussed followed by adiscussion of the

This level of thinking was more representative of otherstudents in the class and were partly due to students’ interest and background knowledge, partlydue to assigned readings, and partly due to how activities were led.Future WorkAs the study moves forward, we will continue to refine the above data analysis. We also plan toenhance the study in the following ways: 1. We will use open coding methods to derive a more in-depth, systematic analysis of student responses in Activity 3. Through this analysis, we

Looking in more detail at the open-ended responses from the survey conducted byBesterfield-Sacre et al. faculty are more concerned with necessary administrative actions, whereaschairs and deans identify interventions for individual faculty. For example, faculty identified theneed for curriculum grants, policies to incentivize innovative instructional practices, incentives forprofessional development, and additional faculty teaching seminars. In contrast, chairs and deanssuggested additional assessment of teaching, faculty development of additional teaching plans andmaterials, and college-wide discussions on teaching innovation.

In 2016, a technical operations manager was put in placeto provide continuous technical expertise on every topic.

RTOP does not judge the quality of student-centeredinstruction, but it does measure if it is happening, and how much it occurs. Observers are trainedthrough a standard set of videos to assure that the inter-rater reliability is high [3].After several observations and a session on understanding the RTOP, faculty participants becamecurious about their scores. The project planning group decided that an experienced instructionalcoach in K-12 (part of the RTOP observation team) would meet with interested participants tohelp them understand their scores. Coaching the faculty was not originally part of this project,but it seemed opportune. Reformed Teaching Observational Protocol (RTOP) LESSON DESIGN AND

howconfusion and disequilibrium can be a vital component of deep learning. He notes that whenstudents enter a state of disequilibrium accessed through reproduction (Bandura,1977), twochoices are available. The first being to work the new information into the extant plan ormethodology. The second choice is to accommodate the new knowledge by replacing the oldwith the new. Cognitively, order is restored and a balance is returned, allowing information to beprocessed into students’ long-term memory (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1971). Choudhury and Hargis(2017) explore how formative assessment can identify real time student misconceptions duringBandura’s (1974) reproduction phase.

This study serves as a catalyst for reflection on the initial implementationof a course designed to integrate engineering and the arts. We hope this reflective exercise willmanifest in iterative improvements for future implementation. To further

Thisincluded an expectation that it will be difficult to hold themselves accountable to maintain agrowth mindset and that maintaining positive attitudes of intelligence as malleable will beespecially difficult during times that are personally difficult. “Making effective plans is hard and holding yourself accountable is even harder.

We as instructors will be more successful if we areprepared to accept students as they are, and design courses that assume, welcome, (and perhapsreveal,) the many different kinds of motivations that are undoubtedly present. We hasten to addthat we are not in opposition to well-posed post-positivist studies of student motivation bydemographic, and in fact believe that this approach may be strongly justified as a component ofintersectional research toward inclusion and culture change.

], formative feedback will help students learn to self-assessby applying good assessment practices to evaluate themselves. From evidence gained throughformative assessment, teachers will be prepared to give feedback and adapt instruction toindividual students.Notebooks have the potential to give teachers a way to flexibly assess science and engineeringlearning within an educational context. Because they are embedded in the curriculum as part ofinstruction, notebooks give specific data to guide formative assessment [17]. They help studentsmonitor their own thoughts, and give them a space to construct knowledge through reflection.Notebooks are authentic to scientific and engineering practices, where they are used byprofessionals to hold plans, diagrams
gathering information about participant’s English proficiency, familystatus, prior teaching and work experiences, duration of stay in the US, and future plans aftergraduation. During this interview, we also asked participants about their teaching assignmentincluding nature and level of class, their role in the class, prior experiences of teaching or takingthe class, anticipated rewards and challenges as a teaching assistant, and support provided by theuniversity or the engineering department or the course instructor to help the participant betterhandle their TA responsibilities. The second interview was conducted in the last third of the semester (10th - 12th week).The aim of this interview was to give an opportunity for participants to
believe enrich their classes.Some participants started teaching right away, some after years or decades of industry experience. Someparticipants earned a doctoral degree early in their career, some much later, some do not plan on earning adoctoral degree at all. This breadth of pathways is important when considering recruitment and careeradvancement policies. A “one size fits all” approach to recruitment, especially if that approach is modeledon the tenure-track recruitment criteria, will result in policies that exclude some candidates whoseperspectives and experiences would be an asset to the program. There was no career pathway that could bedescribed as “typical” among these ten participants.We found that our participants were hired with an
element of social value; saving money was still the only social value identified.Instead of articulating specific social value their proposed project would bring to the localcommunity in which they planned to implement it, the Youth Scholars described in their posterand through their discourse with audience members that the project would bring benefits to andavoid harm to the world in general. But such articulation of broad and vague goals does notexhibit a sophisticated understanding of social value creation through energy engineering.Furthermore, the Youth Scholars’ second poster exhibited a higher level of applied knowledge ofownership, reinvestment, and extraction, articulating ways that ownership of technologies shapesthe design of a system

The initial interviewalso included questions about when individuals planned to begin work and what email address theypreferred that the researcher use for post-graduation contact.

It is between these lines, “the space between the official and unofficial… the intendedand the perceived” [2, pp. 35] that hidden curriculum exists. This influence can be manifested inthe verbal and nonverbal communication; not just the lecture or material but the way it ispresented and the way that educators carry themselves in relation to it.
