This Spring, faculty and staff participated in aseries of workshops discussing our role in serving Hispanic students and developing plans forprograms and activities on campus that embody our HSI identity. Spanish is the second mostwidely spoken language in New York City; therefore, in order to remove language as a potentialbarrier for recruitment and promote our identity as an HSI, the IUSE program information wastranslated to Spanish and is available on the website and as print marketing materials.ConclusionOverall, these preliminary results suggest that targeted pre-transfer and post-transfer supportsimprove transfer student outcomes.

The convenience sampling of studentsthrough research team contacts may have resulted in students more interested in reflecting onengineering work. Next steps within the larger research study include plans to intentionallyrecruit a more diverse student sample through program listservs, student organizations, andmultiple universities to ensure diversity across gender, race and ethnicity, experiences, andselected projects. The larger research study will be expanded to include high school

Outcomes testing is a good way to determine where a particular course fits into the overallcurriculum or degree plan. Based on the results of this outcomes survey (Figure 24), it appearsthat the VaNTH Biomechanics modules can contribute to the following ME outcomes: PO #2 – Ability to solve open-ended problems; PO #4 - Ability to setup, conduct and interpret experiments and to present the results in a professional manner; PO #5 - Ability to use modern computer tools in mechanical engineering; and PO #6 - Ability to communicate in written

In the mostrecent senior lab project, the students were partnered in groups specifically to encouragementoring. The senior lab was an all-male class having 16 students, with a wide variety ofbackgrounds. The majority of the students were traditional students; entering collegedirectly from high school, but a sizeable percentage is non-traditional students; enteringcollege at a later stage in their lives. Sixteen students were enrolled for this class; 13White and 3 new Spanish students.The 13 White students in this group had been together in
material, and feeling more confident in their knowledge. Female studentsresponded more positively than male students to nearly every question regarding communitybuilding except for whether group problem solving helped students feel a sense of community.All activities described in this study are easy to integrate into lectures, and given their potentialimpact on community building, learning, and comfort with active participation, they meritconsideration in all graduate courses. Consistent with other studies of a graduate level course,small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings and precludes disentangling factorswhich may impact student responses such as gender, time at this university, and internationalstudent status. We plan to
processes for engineering education research is beneficial and essentialconsidering the innovative and adaptive nature of engineering. Hence, iterative revision cycleswere planned to develop a framework encompassing the essential elements of qualityengineering education. The study begins by outlining the final framework and then describes itsdevelopment from a modified ABET Criterion 3: Student Outcomes. Each time, multipleresearchers coded academic standards from multiple states (e.g., MOE's latest physics syllabus),then compared and discussed the results. A detailed coding protocol was developed for eachround iteration to facilitate content analysis and maximize the review process's validity andreliability. As part of the design research cycle
wisely. Good study habits include setting clearand achievable goals, creating a study plan, and taking regular breaks. Developing good studyhabits is critical in engineering, as it allows engineers to be more productive and efficient in theirwork.(v) Participation in Internships or Co-opsAnother chief constituent of the course is emphasizing the importance of participation in aninternship or co-op. Participation in these opportunities allows engineering students to work onreal-world projects, gain valuable work experience, develop important skills, and network withengineering professionals and mentors. This helps them make connections in the industry, whichmay lead to future job opportunities. Additionally, internships and co-ops provide an

While it was planned to send at least two iterations of the survey tothe faculty, based on the feedback from the first iteration, the wording of the items was modifiedfurther and was created in Qualtrics for administration the last week in November of 2020. Thesurvey was made available to students for one week.Analysis: The data from the Delphi method was analyzed descriptively in Excel and the textualdata was analyzed to identify challenges and strategies that would be retained using basic manualcontent analysis. The quantitative part of the SES was analyzed descriptively using Excel andSPSS. The first section of the survey, which included all the strategies specifically used

Rather, the ultimate goal of communitycolleges is to prepare students for transfer or employment through certified technical educationprograms [6-8].Undergraduate research has proven to be a high impact practice that helps students increase theiracademic performance, build confidence, and develop critical thinking skills and STEM identity [9-11].These traits are necessary to become a successful scientist, engineer, or educator in these fields— thus itis imperative that research experiences are provided in the early stages of STEM students’ educationaljourneys [12, 13
and instructors have been largely dissatisfied with thismandatory change [9] and have expressed preference in face-to-face learning [10]. Deliveringthe course content to students in a virtual environment is not easy [5]. However, assessingstudent learning when teaching online is even more difficult and requires detailed planning [11].The existence of plentiful online resources makes it very difficult to assess student knowledge,especially for the current curriculum. Among the changes suggested to adapt to the new normal,revision of curriculum has been brought up [12]. In this article, we concentrate on students’improper use of smart phone applications which can solve mathematical problems. Our aim is tocontribute in restructuring College

This course was held inSpring 2020, where students started the course fully in-person and shifted to synchronous virtualinstruction shortly after the mid-semester survey. The course was at the introductory level, and itwas the first major-specific course in the curriculum. The course is typically taken in the springsemester of the second year, so students may know each other and have some experience withcollege level instruction.The other cohort (Cohort B) started the course in Fall 2020 with synchronous virtual instructionwith plans for partial in-person instruction.

Because of the qualitative nature of responses collected in the survey,we plan to further validate the results by conducting focus groups for the engineering populationin the future. This paper presented the survey design and testing in order to investigate the studentinteraction with instructors/TAs and with other students in online courses. To assess the studentinteraction with instructors/TAs and with other students in online vs. face-to-face courses, thestudents who took summer 2020 courses were asked to take an online survey which askedquestions related to summer 2020 (online courses) and fall 2019 (face-to-face courses). Thesurvey questions were related to tools

The low stakesactivities seek to prepare students for a successful experience with the graded assignment. Themodule is inclusive of different learning styles and includes the following activities: 1. Guided written analyses of two videos concerning planned obsolescence, and environmental and human health, followed by class discussion of student analyses. 2. A journal reflection in which students reflect on three articles about inequities and sustainable design practices. Students also reflect on a third

consented with theinterviewer that the course content would apply to their career goals, Stephanie declared, “Notfor me.” Interviewer: So does this (the course curriculum) apply at all to your career goals? Kirk: Yes. (Other two male students also nodded in approval). Stephanie: Not for me. Interviewer: No? How come? Stephanie: I think I’m going on into manufacturing. Unless I’m manufacturing some military technology which I don’t plan on it. Because I couldn’t live with myself if I manufactured guns or something like that. Kirk may think differently. But unless I go into some military class, it wouldn’t really apply to me. It was very interesting though. Selena, a female student in 2017
