Alexandra Hain; Sarira Motaref – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2023
The ability to predict spatial elements based on two-dimensional figures, evaluate engineering elements, identify expected deformations, and predict possible failure mechanisms are critical for engineers. However, in applied mechanics courses, many undergraduate engineering students struggle with applying these skills to engineering problems.…

John R. Reisel – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2023
Surveys and interviews were conducted among faculty and students regarding undergraduate research experiences (URE) in an engineering program at an urban research university. In the student survey, students were asked to self-identify if they felt that their URE had provided them with 11 potential benefits. In the faculty survey, faculty were…

Guerrero, Shannon; Louchart, Katie; Fule, Mary; Daugherty, Robert – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
Following national trends in both mathematics placement and developmental mathematics coursework progression, this study investigates alternative placement options that remove a developmental mathematics barrier for as many students as possible by providing alternative placement pathways. By allowing students to be placed directly into the…

Mallouk, Kaitlin E.; Strong, Alexandra Coso; Riley, Darby R.; Faber, Courtney J. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
Background: The National Science Foundation (NSF) and other organizations have spent millions of dollars each year supporting well-designed educational innovations that positively impact the undergraduate engineering students who encounter them. However, many of these pedagogical innovations never experience widespread adoption. To further the…

REU-INFEWS Program: Results from Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Security Program
Pitre, Danielle; Mlsna, Todd; Mlsna, Deb – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
From 2017-2021, Mississippi State University's Department of Chemistry has hosted a 10-week summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, focused on research related to food, energy, and water security topics. The goals of this program were to train students by providing an intensive research experience, recruit minority and…

Kearney, Miranda A. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for educators. In Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), where students learn about the scientific process by working on novel research, few resources for remote learning were available. Here the impact of changes to course delivery format on student learning gains in a…

Stadlman, Margaret; Salili, Seyyed M.; Borgaonkar, Ashish D.; Miri, Amir K. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
Lack of student persistence and retention is significantly hurting the US in producing the required number of qualified graduates, especially in STEM fields. Although many factors contribute to students falling off track, one of the controllable factors is the identification of at-risk students followed by early intervention. Predicting the…

Vonderheide, Anne P.; Sunny, Cijy Elizabeth; Koenig, Kathleen – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2022
Many disciplines have used concept inventories (CI) to better understand the alternative ideas held by students. Administering a CI at both the beginning and the end of the semester can yield much information. For example, a comparison of both pre- and post-test responses can help determine if specific gains in student learning were met. In this…

Harris, Daniel M.; Schlueter-Kuck, Kristy; Austin, Elizabeth; Cohen, Kristina L. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been implemented and studied throughout the sciences, with well-documented benefits now clear for both students and faculty. Despite their increasingly widespread application, there remain very few documented implementations within engineering curricula. In the present work, we describe…

Ma, Lili – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
This paper summarizes our experience of teaching undergraduate robotic courses in the past ten years. The objective is to introduce students to the fundamental knowledge in robotics. Lecture topics covered subjects in both Autonomous Mobile Robots and Robotic Manipulator. In the lab sessions, students work on physical robots to acquire basic…

Simmons, Denise R.; Chau, Anh D. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
Undergraduate student participation in out-of-class activities yields a range of documented benefits and represents an area of study that can inform efforts to increase persistence in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) majors, particularly for underrepresented groups. This study was designed to explore the impact of selected…

Johnston, Carol; Tang, Julia; Arvand, Afsane; Lee, Paul – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
Many efforts have been made to enroll more women and other underrepresented groups into STEM fields, including the current NSF-funded S-STEM (S-4) program at our University. S-4 aims to increase enrollment and retention in STEM majors through student activities such as a summer transition to University program, the development of a Learning…
