About Project ACE
Project-ACE investigates a novel paradigm shift from single bottleneck course redesign to the strategic transformation of multiple courses along critical-paths using authentic learning experiences (ALEs) based interventions. The proposed interventions are transformative and provide a framework for concerted department-wide curricular reforms.
While it is logically conceivable that reducing fail rates in multiple courses along critical-paths accelerate progress to degree, there is no empirical evidence to establish this. This project will provide empirical data to fill an important gap in literature about the cumulative effectiveness of ALE based critical-path redesign.
Project ACE is supported by the National Science Foundation Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Award #2235774.
Project ACE Goals
Goal 1: Implement ALEs in six critical-paths in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors.
Goal 2: Study the cumulative effect of ALEs on shaping students’ identity as engineers, self-efficacy and belonging, while improving course pass rates and reducing equity gaps.
