In this paper, we will begin by discussing the face-to-face version of the course with theworkaround online option for a handful of students each semester. We then discuss informalstakeholder interviews that in addition to the aforementioned literature helped to develop therequirements of the online course. The goal of the transition was to develop an online version ofthe course that provided an educational equivalence to the in-person version of the course, whilecontinuing to encourage the community element present in the face-to-face version.2.

Visualizing Arguments to Scaffold Graduate Writing in Engineering EducationAbstractMany graduate students come to engineering education research with technical backgrounds inengineering. This can present a challenge for them in learning to write social science research,with new expectations around the structure of academic arguments for the field of engineeringeducation research. Existing research suggests that even graduate students familiar with writingstrategies struggle when entering new communities of practice and disciplines. Although somescholarship has focused on writing, minimal strategies for encouraging argumentation through arhetorical approach have been developed for graduate students.

The science identity model advances that science identitydevelops intersectional and over time. Research on engineering identity emerged from variousacademic strands, including psychology and sociology. The definition of identity in this study isviewed through the social lens. Identity is defined as "being recognized as a certain 'kind ofperson' in a given context" [16, p.99]. The given context focuses on individual socialperformances rather than their uniqueness as a person.

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing

four tenets (community,identity, practice, and meaning) are well distributed in graduate education. For example,coursework most easily fits into the “practice” category but incorporates aspects of “community”(potentially working with others in class), and “meaning” as courses apply theoretical material topractical relevant engineering applications. A research component of a graduate program, too,spans multiple sectors, falling mainly into the “meaning” category, earning depth and expertisethrough a research experience, but also promotes development of “identity,” “community” withlabmates, and “practice” in the application of coursework principles to real research problems.Layered on top of CoP theory is a more specialized theory, that of

The current study suggests that this valuable work within STEM may be valuablysupplemented by students’ experience in other disciplines. The WGS framework and scholarshipgave the students in our study a different, wider-lens view of engineering itself, and enhancedtheir sense of STEM identity.Pawley [42] argues that “feminist science studies are particularly relevant to engineering andengineering education, namely, for scrutinizing what ‘counts’ as engineering content and why.”Our participants felt strongly that all students should be exposed to the theory and methods ofWGS.

The social dimensions, partly required by ABET accreditation through engineeringethics, remain segregated from 'real' engineering [22].
