inappropriately, but examining every word in context is too time- consuming for a large-scale study. For the results reported here, we compiled a list of 37 words that are often vague, absolute, unnecessary or inaccurate, based on previous analysis of student papers and faculty input. Occurrences of the words were examined in context. For example, you is accurate when referring to the reader (e.g. closing a technical memorandum to a client with It was a pleasure serving you) but inaccurate when it does not refer to the reader (e.g. Using the graph, you can calculate...). In the future, we plan to expand the list. (Other language features with other analyses are used in the project but are not included in this paper.) 3. Holistic

Future plan for the project As engineering educators, we know that the value of quantitative data is of great importance to most engineering faculty. Consequently, The most important challenge for understanding the data remains to be the answer to the questions: “How to create a quantitative measure of what we are seeing?” or “Is it possible to create meaningful quantitative data for this type of work?” Our goal will be to do a systematic analysis that would help us understand ways to have meaningful quantitative assessment of

Phase I consistsof the following: (1) reading primary research on the intersection of obesity, energy, and foodcost16; (2) researching nutrition in various foods via exploring the grocery store to gathernutritional content; (3) integrating their understanding of energy balances by planning a menu fora day with constraints of varying budgets, $5, $10, and unlimited budget, and (4) meeting anutritional caloric intake for an individual in that budget constraint. Given the course schedule,the BIOE students start the project 1 week earlier than the CHBE students. As a result, we expectthe BIOE team to lead the first phase and act as data

By generating many versions of questions, we are trying to reach the point where, evenif students have all of our problems and their solutions, it would be less effort for them to learnthe course material than to memorize all of the solutions. Once we’ve reached that point, then wecan re-use exam questions from semester to semester. More precisely, we plan to take our currentpool of questions, periodically add new questions to the pool, and each semester use a subset ofthe questions.Building up a pool of short answer questions for PrairieLearn, was relatively straight-forward forus for Fall 2014.

. During this process, faculty are challenged to beginforming their CoPs before funding for faculty-led efforts is granted. Faculty must identify theshortcomings of the course and propose potential innovations that they will pursue. Theleadership and evaluation teams help the CoPs identify potential RBIS that may addressidentified shortcomings, but let faculty decide which RBIS (if any) to pursue. The evaluationteam concurrently helps faculty develop evaluation instruments to measure progress towardstated goals.At a minimum, CoPs are expected to meet on a regular basis (i.e., weekly) and commit to anevaluation plan.

We chose the GUI because research [10] hasshown that it is easier to use than its text-based counterpart.Our most important step was to conceive design ideas for our art catalogue.

affective components of student engagement (Dixson, 2015) Online Course Management Systems One of the negative effects which was detected in online learning environments is thatoften new generation of learners can behave as “butterflies fluttering across the information on thescreen, touching or not touching pieces of information (i.e., hyperlinks), quickly fluttering to anext piece of information, unconscious to its value and without a plan” (Kirschner & vanMerriënboer, 2013). Some researchers do not agree that today's learners are digital natives andefficient multitaskers, who learn best if the specific learning styles are catered or they learn as self-educators (Kirschner & van Merriënboer, 2013).

;0.01Discussion and ConclusionThe implementation of the model was very successful overall. One important lesson however isthat we need to increase the flexibility in the syllabus so that students can repeat laboratoryexperiments when needed. This, of course, is not unlike what happens in authentic researchlaboratories. We also did not fully take into account the increase in laboratory prep time andstaffing needed in the original budget model. We plan to increase the number of researchstreams in Biology and Chemistry in future years.One important consideration in interpreting the results is that students apply, i.e., self-select, intothe research sections. A bias is formed when students self-select a group. This bias can be seenwhen the pre factors were

problem at hand. The smoothness and benefits of thisintegration process may be attributed in part to the institution’s small program (roughly 10-20students in each academic year cohort) and unique, sustained team building opportunities.Further research is needed to see if different cohorts will behave differently at the authors’institution and in larger programs. Regardless, students also suggested integrating teams withbroader experiences and perspectives (e.g. electrical engineering) for a more comprehensivescope of the final design. Students agreed that their greatest learning point was to plan better (e.g. spend more timeunderstanding the problem and how to approach the problem) by learning from others first.They identified that a good
