We defined search behavior in terms of frequency ofsearches, types of search queries, frequency and types of other events (Table 2) around searchperformed by students. Previous work [28] used a similar definition of search behavior foreducational video search, but our analysis was more detailed (e.g., we also studied the types ofsearch queries).Figure 3 shows an overview of the study design. With approval from the Institutional ReviewBoard (IRB), we collected anonymized student interaction data logged by ClassTranscribe. Thedata included interaction events from 1,894 students across 25 engineering courses during09/2019 to 07/2020. For each user interaction with the tool, the event logs contain

A recent project team won the Utility of Tomorrow competition, outperforming fifty-five international teams to bring
professionals from the engineering andscientific community in the Denver area.As part of the College’s renewed focus on design and computing, the instructor altered thecourse significantly for the Fall 2018 – Spring 2019 academic year. Since the course is requiredfor all Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering majors early on in their academic program,redesigning this one course was hoped to be a leverage point to shift students’ perspectives. Theinstructor converted the Environmental Challenge into the Environmental Design Challenge,following the Stanford d.school model for the design process [5]. The students were given classtime to discuss and work through the design process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test).The instructor explained

A summary of the program changesover time is shown in Figure 1.The primary goal of the faculty development program is to foster EM in engineering education byengaging faculty in EM activities and perspectives that they can implement with their students [1].Faculty needs were mapped to a suite of faculty development offerings that included workshopsaddressing EM activities and perspectives targeting curriculum, teaching, research, industry, andleadership.
