engineers are mostly likely tohave this attitude in the results section.MethodsThis section describes our process for classifying engineers according to their acculturationattitudes, as determined by their acculturation preferences, and exploring differences in theseattitudes based on their personal and job characteristics.Participants: Data for this study was collected as part of a larger research project administered inFall 2019 [46]. Nearly twelve thousand alumni who earned engineering degrees from a large,public university in the southwestern U.S. within the past 15 years were invited to participate inan online survey via an initial invitation email and two reminder emails sent over the course of atwo-week period. All participants had the

A few participants (n = 4) avoided HC. Minoritized women were slightly more likelyto use this strategy than majority women (4% vs 1%).

I think the man who originallyasked the question even sent her a thank you note for taking the time to give such a thoroughresponse.Sometimes, somebody will say to me, or near-enough that I can hear, a comment which impliesthat women are differently-abled and that this explains some feature of their presence (or lackthereof) in engineering. for example, "women in the software engineering class tend to pickprojects that involve helping people because they're more nurturing than the men".

instructors have been shown to support greaterengagement, feeling of connected and belongingness to a part of the community, and enhancepersistence rates [12][13-14]. Finally, research also shows that student demographic characteristicssuch as age, gender, ethnicity, etc. have influenced students’ success in online courses [8][15-18].This study is a part of a larger NSF-funded project studying the persistence of students in onlineundergraduate engineering courses [19]. The Model for Online Course-Level Persistence inEngineering (MOCPE) framework, posited by this project, includes factors related to coursecharacteristics and individual characteristics [20].

provide input.Limitations The pre-constructed narratives limit these findings because there were constructed todepict their entire navigation towards public-inspired work. Therefore, the stories were notcreated to be analyzed in this paper. They were created to be disseminated to a broad, diverseaudience. This method limits the amount of information that can be extracted from theparticipants. It is also important to note that these personal experiences with public-inspiredscience were early in the students’ graduate career, and that many of the students continued toparticipate in other citizen science projects and later produced documentaries of their work(Battle, 2020; Kriss and Hockman, 2020; Patton, 2020; Purchase, 2020; Lopez, 2021

-ineffective topic-subtopic approach often used in presentations. Because data for the pilot course was considered a success by the collaborative team, thecourse was implemented and has since grown in the number of sections offered each semester.Since the piloted course in 2007, the curriculum, class size, and credit hours for the targetedcourse stayed the same as the pilot. The one exception was that the number of course sectionsavailable to students has increased. We believe that other colleges and universities would benefitfrom a detailed description of the targeted course projects, assignments, and exercises. To thatend, we next offer a detailed overview of the key curriculum that can elevate course designersfrom a theoretical to a

Dynamics software, ANSYSFLUENT. Parametric studies were then conducted to determine the optimal configuration of asingle dimple and multiple dimples. At this stage, the student conducted the investigationindependently without any guidance from the instructor. Different geometrical shapes, sizes,placement along the airfoil, and multiple arrangements were all considered. The designs weredriven by fundamental fluid mechanics principles that were applied by the student. This forcedthe student to think outside of the box and develop critical thinking ability. The project was achallenge for the student as the findings were in direct contrast with many other researchers.While reporting the results is important, of equal importance is the understanding
effective pedagogies andlearning activities that achieve those outcomes in a more-or-less straightforward way. HCteaches us that the process by which faculty determine instructional strategies to achievepredetermined learning objectives could be more dynamic, nuanced, and indirect, with HCplaying a central role in mediating students’ achievement of desired learning outcomes.Engineering educators should carefully examine the assumption that students will always learnexactly what (and not just how much) their backward-design efforts are intended to achieve. Andthis is true regardless of the level of sophistication of their engineered learning projects andassessment measures. By accounting for HC mediation, we believe engineering educators cantake a

has repercussions. That’s a good lesson for our kids to learn in every part of their life, but especially engineers because engineers have power that is magnified throughout their projects. An engineer of something small and inconspicuous could eventually be used to do something catastrophic or damaging to a certain subset of people. And that responsibility falls on the engineer to be wise about the choices that they make on the drawing board, because eventually these choices will be translated into concrete and steel and machinery. So, I think having a conversation about ethics would be worthwhile to have for sure.To synthesize the 14 interviews conducted, most teachers considered environmental and/orsocietal impacts important

Moving forward, it would be interesting to assess the effect ofa mixed-methods approach (CAD/origami) in our context and to develop a larger sample usingthe indirect (origami) method (n=19 in this study).AcknowledgementsThis work was conducted under IRB 2017-011(N) and grew out of work started under the NSFEngage Project, Award #0833076, at Stevens Institute of Technology.References1.
