Altogether, these techniques led learners to engage with civil engineering topics,fostering interest and growing their knowledge of the topic, while meeting the required rigor ofthe university classroom.IntroductionHigh school students are increasingly interested in exploring engineering disciplines beforecollege enrollment. These opportunities give students the ability to interact with engineeringeducators, understand the academic rigor, and meet peers in their area of interest. Students findthese opportunities in traditional high school classes, after school programs, and summerprograms held at colleges and
expanded their offerings to international graduate stu-dents beyond residential studies. Advances in teaching and learning technology have played a keyrole in enabling remote instruction to these students. In particular, synchronous instruction andengagement with peers within a cohort have been shown to improve the educational experienceand lead to high persistence rates.It has previously been reported that instructional technology can be used to teach a full master’sdegree program in electrical and computer engineering to international graduate students in a syn-chronous fashion. To increase engagement, students study in the program as cohorts and collab-orate in the classroom and in completing a significant engineering project. This technology

Encouragement badges were awarded for accessing the flashcards or attending office hours; repeating these behaviors earned higher levels of the badges.Three times over the semester students are required to write something: an ethics response onday 01, written instructions for using the right-hand-rule for three-dimensional moments on day15, and a project report on day 40. Some students believe that becoming an engineer means theynever have to write anything again; while assigning writing assignments can disabuse them ofthis notion, we hoped that assigning badges would highlight some of the places where engineersuse writing skills. The writing badges also have

, technology failures created significant resistance to widespread adoption [2, p. 29]. Theability to have robust communication and interaction between students and educators is essentialto getting buy-in from both parties. This section explores the current technologies in use fortoday’s online courses, current and emerging grading technologies, and considers the keyemerging technologies required to enable online learning to continue to improve its deliverymethods and expand in scope. The current online learning environment relies heavily on technology to enable thesharing of information and to provide feedback to students. For students to interact with facultyas well as peers, the proliferation of conference call and video conference call
interaction between peers, increased relianceon instructors, and a significant decline in experiential learning such as labs, groupprojects, demonstrations, problem-based learning, and service-learning. Themajority of students report feeling worried about making progress toward theirdegree, and about half worried about completing the semester. Two benefitsstudents identified was having access to course materials all the time through theLMS and the flexibility of remote learning. Findings also show that technicianstudents are quite diverse by way of age, partner status, having a family, race-ethnicity, employment status, and educational background. About one-third ofstudents who responded are women. This paper concludes with several

Students received an in-depth understanding of the software product because they were im- plementing it.Challenges: 1. Students struggled with programming-related skills. As a result, too much time was spent on implementing the application. 2. Some team members preferred to avoid the technical work and only contributed to the writing of the reports. 3. Students struggled to meet the statement and branch coverage requirements for testing.Approach 2: Capstone Group Project - with the development and testing phases interleaved.Advantages: 1.

Johnson, University of South FloridaFernando Sánchez, University of St. ThomasAbstractUsing a citation network analysis, this project analyzes the 209 instances of the term“intersectionality” in the ASEE PEER repository to locate the central authors and texts thatinform the field’s use of the term. In this citational analysis, we suggest that the limited citationof Black women should be interrogated and redressed as a form of inequity. Framing this projectwithin the politics of citation and the current campaign to #CiteBlackWomen, we work toexplore how the term “intersectional” has been embraced, whose theories have been adopted,ignored
, designed to supportupper-level students through reflection of their past experiences and creation and application ofskills that will guide their professional futures. In the course, students iteratively reflect on andcommunicate their past experiences and development of competencies through writing stories;drafting values and guiding principles; connecting with mentors; and applying learning to early-career decision-making. At the end of the course, students were able to: 1. Describe their growth in and mastery of competencies in the context of their undergraduate experiences. 2. Define social capital and increase their social capital by identifying one peer and one professional to ask salient questions to, receive meaningful answers

In exchange for their increased educational labor comparedto the rest of the course, students who self-select to take part in the cogen would be able to dropone homework assignment from their final grade. Ultimately, four students—Danielle Gan, Patrick Paul, Justyn Welsh, and Thomas Pauly—offered to take part in the EJ cogen, writing to Anna about their prior experience with leadingclimate discussions.

The reflection prompt was “Afterparticipating in the discussion forum, write up a short reflection (50 - 500 words) on what youlearned by answering the discussion questions and discussing with your peers.

Jigsaw places more responsibility on the students, breaking theclass into groups and assigning one person from each group to become a subject-area expert on asubtopic (such as reading a specific journal article), and subsequently having each group memberteach their peers in the group the piece of the overall puzzle that they mastered. Finally, student-generated exam questions allow students to work through the key concepts learned during a unitthat deserve attention on an exam, anticipating many of the topics they will face while creatingone question that may be on the exam itself.

architecture schoolsconduct these events publicly and with peers [4]. Between 1919-1932, the Bauhaus in Germanydeveloped a new form of studio pedagogy: a focus on giving students technical skills throughworkshops and preparing students for these workshops with “foundation courses” [3].While studio pedagogy has been used in fine arts for over a century, elements of the studio havebeen recently advanced as beneficial for engineering education. Wilson and Jennings [5] reportextensive efforts to use studio pedagogy to, among other goals, reduce emphasis on lecture.Other motivations for engineering studio pedagogy range from improving student employability[6], facilitating concept transfer [7], and familiarizing students with the use of experimentationand
adventuresas opposed to directly teaching the students [17], [18]. One example of an information seekingbehavior could be a simple unassessed icebreaker activity at the beginning of a course where thestudents to share information about themselves while gathering information from their peers[19]. A second example is discussion boards. These are assessed collaborative activities whereeach student posts an answer to a specific question and is required to respond to other students’answers. The class discussion boards can flourish without the instructor’s guiding dialogue as thestudents engage in asynchronous threads [20], [21]. The keys are to include shared responsibility,require constructive feedback, and inspire expansive questioning. A third example

Research shows that having diverseteams working on complex challenges produces more effective and impactful solutions thanworking in uniform teams or as lone individuals [31-35]. In the case of predominately onlineinstruction environment, teams also offer the opportunity for social connection and peer support.The class was divided into teams with the assistance of the Comprehensive Assessment forTeam-Member Effectiveness (CATME), an online tool that aides instructors in forming studentsteams based on best practices, and stayed in their assigned team for the entire semester.Synchronous class sessions: These sessions were held on Mondays via Zoom. This time wasdedicated to discussing and
element for a system such as ours because they meet the design requirement thatthe system should need minimal additional training. Satisfying the “minimal additional training”requirement means that the engineering education teaching and research community could applythe this kind of system off the shelf in their own work to identify important trends and answerrelevant questions in their own contexts.In educational data, NLP techniques have been used to study a variety of topics. Crossley et al.,[12], [13] used a series of rule-based approaches to study students’ sentiments and their mathidentities in an intelligent tutoring system. Crossley et al [14] also used an NLP approach tostudy differences in students writing styles as a function of their
