Her current engineering education research interests include engineering students’ understanding of ethics and social responsibility, sociotechnical education, and assessment of engineering pedagogies.Dr. Tyrone Vincent, Colorado School of Mines Tyrone L. Vincent received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Arizona, Tuc- son, in 1992, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at the Colorado School of Mines, Golden. His research interests in- clude

benefits ofinterventions. It is no surprise that a supportive learning environment would bring about student successand that historically underrepresented groups experience additional need for this support.Moreover, diversifying the gender and ethnic representation of ECpE graduates would yield amore diverse engineering work force more equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.Diverse teams are beneficial for an amalgam of moral, equitable, and innovative reasonsincluding improved problem solving and improved work outcomes [17]. This representation anddiversification is pertinent for professional and ethical advancement. Especially as the softwareand engineering (S&E) workforce continues to grow 3% faster than total employment growth

andLearning Commons, highlighting the learning outcomes we discussed above, and then activelytrying to support the students through engaged learning.Labs StructureThere exist a total of seven weekly lab modules. Each lab introduces a set of related topics thatbuild upon the material from previous labs. The labs used to be two weeks in length, allowing forflexibility in fitting with the students’ personal schedules, but we discovered that the flexibilityactually motivated procrastination. Instead, to encourage a strong work ethic, we shifted to aweekly schedule. The labs are gamified so that the next lab will not unlock unless a studentcompletes the prior lab first. This incentivizes them to get something working, even if theirsolution is not

Undergraduate students involved in this projectwere required to have an interest in semiconductor device fabrication or testing and status as anElectrical Engineering student moving into their junior year.System Requirements The proposed system is intended to perform HTOL and HTRB tests on semiconductordevices. The tests apply high temperatures to solid-state devices while applying a stress voltagein order to observe and measure changes in their performance. These changes, in combinationwith statistical analysis tools, can be used to make assumptions and predictions about thedevices.[3] The system was designed by a team of 2 undergraduate students and

She also led a project to develop a taxonomy for the field of engineering education research, and she was part of a team that studied ethical decision-making in engineering students. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Factors influencing conceptual understanding in a signals and systems courseAbstractPrevious studies show that many engineering undergraduates lack conceptual understanding ofsignals and systems. Although there is evidence that teaching style impacts conceptualunderstanding, there are few studies

final grade, no resubmission) compared to the implemented competency-basedgrading model (1-4 scores, equal weighting for all learning outcomes, includes resubmission). Asthe figure shows, 64% responded “Strongly Agree” when asked if, “I was more motivated andengaged with this model vs. traditional grading.” A total of 84% had an affirming answer to thatsurvey question, and only 4% had a negative response.Open-ended questions were also given in the survey. Below are some representative quotes fromthe student responses, regarding the flexible timeline, resubmissions policy, and related topics.Grammatical errors are not corrected from the original response. “It was very rewarding having a course that was paced by my own work ethic.
