CollectionData collection for the study was conducted in the fall semester of 2019. A total of 132 studentsparticipated in the study. 25 (18.9%) were female students. 36 students were first-year students,74 were second-year students, 15 were third year students, and 7 were fourth-year students.Participants were registered in first- and second-year introductory engineering design coursesthat aimed at offering students an authentic learning environment. Before collecting any data,ethical approval for the research was obtained from the University of Ottawa’s office of researchethics and integrity review board. The principal author shared the questionnaire links with thestudents at the beginning of the semester. Participation was voluntary. Students were
data for this paper is from four focusgroups conducted each with two to four students in the same year for a total of 12 students acrossall four years. Students were asked about their general experience in the program and specificteaching practices used, to further support an understanding of teaching from first principles andrelated practices. The names used throughout the paper are pseudonyms.Data collection and analysisThe study protocol was approved by the appropriate university research ethics board. Theinterviews and focus groups were conducted on Zoom, due in part to the Covid-19 Pandemic,and were subsequently transcribed by the research team. The interviews and focus groups wereanalyzed using an open coding process; codes were

Generally,this group of military students has served or are serving as enlisted servicemembers and arelikely to be first-generation or from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups that have beenhistorically underrepresented in engineering education [1] and the engineering workforce. Inaddition, both prior and current enlisted military students are widely considered to be those whohave developed/will develop key attributes, such as a strong work ethic, maturity, and leadershipskills, during their time in service that prepare them for academic success in engineeringeducation and for impact in engineering careers [2].BackgroundThe U.S. military has been a driving force in the evolution of engineering education in theUnited States since

Each implementation, taking theform of a variable length PD or camp, often but not necessarily occurring during the summer,may present content to teachers exclusively, students exclusively, or some combination ofteachers and students. In addition to the flexibility provided in the form and participants invited to the PDor camp, the program allows for wide ranges in offered curriculum. Some camps preparestudents for industry grade examinations, such as the Certified Ethical Hacker examinationfrom the EC-Council[25] while other camps choose to present more foundational cyberse-curity concepts [26]. This highlights the potential for vastly different content within thebroader grouping of GenCyber, ensuring that the needs of K-12 teachers

they gave 100% - and sometimes 110% - to everyproject that they work on. While these statements reflect positively on students’ work ethics, theydo little to clarify whether there was any meaningful connection between student work and theproject topic. Perhaps the most salient takeaway with regards to behavioral engagement issummarized by Melanie: “I might be more motivated if a project idea is cool, but that depends alot on how the project is presented.” In other words, the theming of the project may matter lessthan the project being presented in an interesting way.Affective EngagementThe matter of affective engagement is difficult to address based on the data presented.

In the same train of thought, it is unclear whether it is theinstructional strategies or the tools that support students’ understanding of HCD and how thesetools enhanced their perspectives of the roles of engineers in society. The closest study foundaround engineering design, human-centered design, and instructional strategies was a studyconducted by Villanueva and colleagues [18] where they showed that active learning activitiesconnected to service learning in engineering design resulted in higher engagement of students tothe classroom activities.

experiential, methodological, spatial-temporal, technological, institutional, social, and political/ethical as well as consider that transdisciplinary teams evolving through different stages may require changes in their communication processes [115]. Wang et al. (2019) [116] developed a communication framework for transdisciplinary teams that offers topics for communication and indicators of successful communication (subdivided into relationship development and solution development) at each stage of team formation and performance. One feature of the workflow should be regular and ongoing (emphasis added) communication [98]. Transdisciplinary teams are often separated spatially and these
array of different technologies available for use.Student attempts to modify plagiarized work in an effort to evade detection by similarity engines,which will be known as “mutations” for the remainder of this paper, are of substantial concern toengineering educators as they threaten the ability of the assessment process to accurately identifywhich students behaved ethically and which students engaged in academic misconduct.Therefore, it is essential that similarity engines are as well-equipped as possible for mitigating theimpact of these attempts. The ability of a similarity engine to retain accurate and precise detectionof plagiarized source code files in spite of the application of mutations is an important factor toconsider in an evaluation
also be used to assess ABET outcomes for communication and teamwork,indicating their use for assessing students’ abilities to apply technical knowledge to solveproblems collaboratively while also communicating those solutions effectively.Based on a 2013 review of engineering education scholarship, when faculty assigned teamprojects, they primarily targeted outcomes based in teamwork, design, and communication, withsome focus on innovation, lifelong learning, ethics, and motivation [8]. In a breakdown of theteamwork outcome, researchers found a focus on global/cultural competence (for both teammembers and clients), project management, and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as somefocus on societal concerns, distributed teamwork, leadership
