In this study, weexplored the potential for an explicated ‘engineering problem typology’ (EPT) to serve as aninstructional scaffold for engaging students in ill-structured problem. Toward understanding theimpact of EPT training we conducted pre-/post-EPT problem solving sessions. Six student pairswere analyzed and evidenced change that we argue as positive. All pairs demonstrated a shift intheir problem-solving discussion from pre to post as represented by EPT discourse patterns. Thisincludes explicit identification of the problem type, specifically referencing process stages, and inmost cases, discussions aligned with EPT frameworks. The observed change in discourse

This research also emphasized the importance of sustaining the perspectiveof seeing the “self as whole” and incorporating traditional teachings and lessons with what it meansto be an engineer or technologist. For example, Jaemie merged her identities as a Native Americanwoman engineer by being involved in outreach to fulfill her cultural values, as well as a way torestore balance in her life by returning home. Maintaining balance was necessary for the womento see themselves as whole by honoring all of their identities. Foster [26] highlighted how spacesin which the whole self can be recognized are to

wherestudents share answers and aimed to create assignments and exams less susceptible to plagiarism.When faculty took a learner-centered approach to conscientiousness, they put in time and/oreffort to learn about their students’ interests, experiences, and lives; they used this information inplanning course activities and examples. For example, several faculty hired peer learningfacilitators—students who had just completed the course. Rather than simply asking thesestudents to grade, they sought their ideas in planning the course, situating the students as part ofthe instructional team. Such faculty also updated their course materials, but they put effort intoresearching authentic applications of course content and checking with peer learning

From a pedagogical perspective, they require students to think criticallyabout a wide range of engineering concepts and to complete a variety of practical tasks related tolearning objectives. Despite potential benefits, there are some formidable challenges—theoretical and methodological—to understanding how team-based projects shape individuals’ideas about

Responding to studentand parent requests, WIT introduced plans to return to limited in-person teaching for Fall 2020.These plans included adoption of CDC guidelines published at that time which required:face coverings to be worn at all times, individuals to maintain six feet of distance from others,and robust protocols for cleaning and disinfecting. To satisfy distancing requirements, a de-densified model for academic spaces was introduced leading to reduced student capacity inclassrooms and labs.
