free tochoose what they would like to compare with others and which performance goals they focusedon. For example, in the air-powered vehicle activity, a child may be concerned about whethertheir vehicle moved across the track like other children’s designs (i.e., performance-avoidance)and at the same time also want to ensure their vehicle looks the coolest (i.e., performance-approach). For mastery goal orientations, the mastery-avoidance goal orientation was closelyrelated with performance orientations. This may be due to the overarching component acrossthese survey items, such as fear of failure (see [17]). Mastery-avoidance may also be challengingfor young children to reflect on since it requires a sense of their own learning ability. What

Teaching expectations were reflected in student outcomes, all earning at least a B at theconclusion of the course, granted as directly transcripted credit. This is to say that sophomore,junior and senior students completing the course received a transcript from the university with norequirements or matriculation agreement to enroll at the university to receive their credits, leavingpost-secondary options open. However, outside of the course the school has agreements with theuniversity that provides preferred admittance to 9 out of 10 colleges in the university.Recommendations

questions take the form of natural language, “phrased in a way thatinterviewees can understand.” In this context we moved away from the specific language of self-regulation and motivation, given the research-specific definition of these terms, to use languagesuch as “approach,” “confidence,” or “interest.” As seen in Table 1, we also reflected on the timebasis for each interview question here. To help participants reconstruct their class experiences[21, p. 90] and ease cognitive demand we organized interview questions chronologically. Withthat organization, interview question about pre-class conceptions were an induction to theprocess of describing beginning, during, and post-class experiences.

Finally, the program involves participation from all faculty andtechnical staff in the engineering school - an all hands on deck approach. We summarize thecurricular changes and decisions made over the past five years, as well as present novel datagleaned from student and faculty reflections. A major change in the curriculum was a changefrom a model with 10 weeks of typical coursework and only 5 weeks of DesignSpine to a moreintegrated 15 full weeks, as both student teams and clients needed more time to effectively workon the design project. Also, as the program grew, there was the need to change the leadership

A holistic view of active learning includes three main components:information and ideas, experience, and reflective dialogue [27]. A successful active learningframework should consider how students (i) encounter new information and ideas, (ii) engage withinformation and ideas, and (iii) reflect on their learning.

knowledge production and these interventions should not beat the cost of the students’ well-being. Methodologies that center the experiences of marginalizedpeoples while simultaneously not being harmful or exploitative are lacking in engineeringeducation research. This paper suggests a different path and reflects on how we can build a bettermethodology that does not further harm. We argue that building a more responsive and lessexploitative research methodology starts by understanding trauma in relation to structural andsystemic oppression, applying Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectional framework to the ways wedescribe trauma, and being context-specific with the communities we aim to research. We hopethis paper acts as a call to action for other

Once on campus, the program attempted to create apositive, success-reinforcing community of students, similar to those found in minority advocacyorganizations and smaller engineering departments (Baldwin et al., 2021a). Students began theircollegiate STEM experience with a boot camp designed to emulate the expectations and work loadof the first-year engineering program at Purdue, in a consequence-free environment. During eachschool year, students were provided with a friendly, success-tools oriented seminar by one of theprogram’s investigators. Reflective writing exercises were emphasized to encourage writtencommunication skills and career focus (McCarthy, 2011; Bolton, 2006). Purdue has

The difference with the asynchronous component is that it imparts knowledge throughvideos or readings without the teacher being in real time with the students. The video presentedby the teacher can be recorded by the teacher or by someone else. The individual and groupassignments are used to reinforce the knowledge learned through tasks in which they are put intopractice.The versatility of the BFL is reflected in how it adapts to different situations that may arise in aclassroom.

And just really learning how not to give them the answers. So I think as an educator I grew in that area. Because as a math teacher: Okay, we gotta move on [and I will provide the answer].”Kevin continued: “But so when I asked them [students] questions about what wasn't working, I would pose the questions in a way: What if you did this?

measurable change for either group. The two-sample t-test performedfor questions F2, F3, F4, T5, C4, and C6 yielded a zero change across the semester for both theself-designated VCE and Microsoft Team’s groups. These questions may reflect the generalconditions of teamwork or reflect the class's layout. For example, question F2 read, “I felt class-related resources were readily available to me.” It could be viewed as more dependent on theinstructor’s use of LMS or file sharing rather than the file sharing within the participant’s team.This would reflect the course rather than the effectiveness of the VCE or the student’s choice ofVCE in this study. This will be further expanded upon in the limitations section of this paper.Another noteworthy

Reinforcing a betterunderstanding of nanoscale is important if one strives to understand how matter is constructedand how the properties of materials reflect their components, their atomic composition, theirshapes, and their sizes.Imaging techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are recognized as an important“gateway” tool for introductory students to view and understand material properties in the fieldof nanotechnology. The challenge, however, is the gap of knowledge between what is happeninginside the electron microscope

The stereotypes and assumptions about Black males excluded them fromvital educational resources such as study groups which often formed around gender and raceaffinity [5]. Similarly, Burt et al. find that graduate student-advisor relationships in graduateengineering often included microaggressions and reflected unsupportive environments thatperpetuated structural and social inequities [7]. These discrimination experiences and microaggressions can cause traditionallyunderserved students to see engineering as unwelcoming and unsupportive [4, 7, 15, 16].

It can take many forms and canbe as simple as answering questions during the lecture or as more involving as asking the studentsto reflect on the presented material and their learning experience [8]. The effectiveness of activelearning had been extensively investigated in the literature and was proven to increase students’learning, engagement, and interest in the topics discussed [8-11]. Despite these facts, the traditionallecture-based learning is still the dominant approach in STEM fields [12, 13].
