artifacts.Due to the smaller sample size of participants afforded in this research – participation of studentsin co-curriculars is a limiting factor – we employed a quasi-experimental design. A control groupwould serve as a measure of no treatment nor exposure to new practices – just business as usual.Our assumption is that a pre-PT problem solving discussion assessment serves the same purposeas a post-assessment of a control group. That is, the students in the program are sophomore, junior,and senior undergraduates, who already bring to the study an established approach to ill-structuredproblems that has been developed over their academic careers thus far. We therefore treat the pre-PT problem solving discussion data as the control group baseline for

Differentiated instruction refersto the practice of personalized learning based on a students’ skill level, while approachabilityrefers to the openness and willingness of the staff to provide help [4,21] One staff highlights theimportance having a positive interaction with students in the quote below: I think there's a
: Online Teacher Professional Learning (Evaluation)IntroductionTo be successful in a 21st century global economy, engineers must develop a broad knowledgebase that allows them to contribute to diverse interdisciplinary teams and to creatively solveproblems faced by humanity [1]. In undergraduate and graduate engineering programsthroughout the United States, more higher education institutions are beginning to implement bio-inspired design (BID) into their engineering curriculum to better prepare their eventual graduatesfor a cross-disciplinary career (e.g., [2]; [3]). To do so, programs throughout the United Stateshave begun to integrate BID in various ways into their undergraduate and graduate-levelcurriculum, including through small modules, full

Just because, I mean, we were in a meeting, and the project leader said, or the project sponsor said, ‘This is what we plan to do.’ I just raised my concerns […] I didn’t have any leadership responsibility in the project, per se. But I was just in a meeting and voiced my concern.In addition to identifying and communicating the need for important tests, James also gave severaladditional examples which emphasized that ethical engineering includes transparency, decision-making, and proper reporting. These examples were less detailed and presented more as a runthrough of different ways he has experienced these aspects in his career. One example was duringhis time as a postdoc when made decisions about using animal subjects

Theworkshop participants felt this combination would provide a rich and effective series of coursesand would well prepare graduates for careers in Data Science [11]. The workshop resulted inidentifying key skills required for undergraduate Data Science majors to master includingcomputational and statistical thinking, mathematical foundations, model building andassessment, algorithms and software foundation, data curation, and knowledge transference(communication and responsibility)[11]. Six main subject areas of a Data Science Major wereidentified; data description and curation, mathematical foundations, computational thinking,statistical
challenge for sociotechnical engineering instruction is the evaluation of itseffects. Some of the difficulty results from the breadth of educators’ goals. Most of these effortsdo not define specific desired outcomes beyond increasing students’ ability to understand “thetechnical” and “the social” as deeply connected, and to appreciate that sociotechnical thinking isan important part of engineering work. That is, sociotechnical engineering programs andinterventions rarely prescribe desired career paths or other, more easily quantifiable goals fortheir students. Attempts to measure the success of sociotechnical thinking contextualizationtherefore require ascertaining how students’ thoughts about their work and identities haveshifted, if at all

Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab
