students’ first year, engineering courses often make use of group projects,sometimes in the context of cornerstone design courses [1]. Such contexts provide opportunitiesfor students to develop professional skills as well as to develop rich understandings of technicalcontent [2]. In such spaces, teams of novice engineers work to negotiate design decisions in theface of uncertainty. Ideally, student teams would evidence a fairly even distribution of talk andideas [3], but the literature is rife with reports of inequitable contributions in student groups,often with inequitable patterns related to gender and race/ethnicity [4-16].Because students lack significant engineering judgment and technical expertise, other factors thataffect their evaluation

Additionally, these findings will be useful for all researchers seekingnew methods of translating research findings into actionable impact. Keywords — Dissemination; Student experience; Narrative; Interviews; Inclusivity; Faculty1.

constitutethe conventions that engineers use to communicate the knowledgebase that stem directly fromthe physical phenomena they work to manipulate. Consequently, engineering education centersaround a pedagogy that focuses first on the formalisms that abstract real phenomena. Rather thanbuilding on an understanding of the phenomena from their direct, primary experiences,engineering students often are reasoning in terms of formal redescriptions of these phenomena[1]. This formalisms first approach [2], we contest, exposes students to ideas in terms of theirformalisms before students even get opportunities to ground [3] their intuitions in theexperiences that underlie conceptual understandings [4-6].Theoretical Framework:Analyses of secondary-level math

GPAs of Black women and men is part of alarger NSF-funded mixed-methods study that includes in-depth student interviews of Blackstudents who persisted in and switched from ME. In this quantitative paper, we examine theGPA patterns of Black students in Mechanical Engineering (ME). Students who have everenrolled in ME have four potential, mutually exclusive, outcomes: 1) they can persist for 12semesters without graduating; 2) they can graduate in ME within 12 semesters; 3) they canswitch to another major; or 4) they can leave school. In this research, we identify the mostcommon GPA patterns associated with graduated ME students.We hypothesize a relationship between distinct GPA patterns and whether a student persists inME, graduates in ME

Results from the quantitative analysisindicate excellent model fit and offer support for the validity of the Depoliticization inEngineering instrument.IntroductionCech and Sherick defined the ideology of depoliticization in engineering as the “belief thatengineering is a purely ‘technical’ space in which engineers design technological objects andsystems stripped of political and cultural concerns” [1, pp. 203]. The idea that engineering workis purely technical, defined by adherence to scientific objectivity, and should avoid social bias byexcluding social justice missions, cultural and political issues, and other

In addition, as an alternativeapproach, we discuss tactile learning and teaching aids for the (Q, r) model.KeywordsVisual Aids, Inventory Control, (Q, r) Model, Abstract Concepts, Engineering Education.IntroductionAbstract concepts without visual aids can be difficult to comprehend because they lack directsensory [1], physical, or perceptual representation [2]. In engineering education, some studentsstruggle to find solutions or are not confident in explaining their solutions even if the solutionsare correct, perhaps because they mechanically follow problem-solving steps without reflectionand understanding.

An initial 2009 survey identified an increased need for computermodeling in MSE and noted that employers highly sought CMSE skills [2].

Lipson, et al. found that business and engineering students show “asignificantly decreased likelihood” to seek out mental health services compared to otherdisciplines; less than a quarter of the engineering students “with apparent mental health problemshave sought help” [2, p. 36].

Pupil dilation wasrecorded as a measure of cognitive load via an eye-tracking device as studies have shown thatcognitive load causes a task-evoked pupillary response. Previous studies have shown that there isa linear increase in pupil dilation as cognitive load increases.The current study was conducted in two phases.

This Year of Impact will move us beyond action to focus on the impact of the actions we take. We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) Empowered engineering student organizations to make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) Actionable organizational policies and effective practices implemented in Colleges of Engineering that disrupt the status quo regarding who gets to participate in engineering education as a student and as a faculty member; and (3) Increased participation

Balsa wood bridge competitions, for example, have beenaround for decades and are the “go to” engineering outreach activity, particularly for civilengineering programs, used to introduce students to engineering. They are fairly simple to runand can easily reach over 100 students. However, balsa wood bridge competitions are now facedwith the ever-growing popularity of other competitions related to robotics and rockets, and mostrecently drones. Competing with more flashy activities can make it difficult to attractparticipants, and even volunteers, especially if competition dates overlap. The traditional balsawood bridge competition simply requires students to build a bridge and

This paper, however, highlights a novel case of a dual creditmodel, referred to as the facilitator model, for first-year design courses. The case presentedoutlines procedures for developing and implementing such a model within engineering andtechnology programs. While this may not be the same process at each university, hopefully thisprovides some guidance to help navigate such a task. The facilitator model is a relatively newmodel for dual credit that was recently piloted with a cohort of high school juniors and seniors [2].For this

Though past research about online learning, in general,may shed light on instruction with online labs—e.g., [1], [2]—the experiential emphasis oflaboratory learning presents unique challenges in an online environment that must be addressed.Online labs have gained interest in education over the last decades.

global communities and work to devise solutions to the givencommunity’s technical challenges. However, if these projects are created without a social justiceframework, or undertaken without appropriate student training, they can often reify the inequitiesthey seek to resolve. When students are motivated by a “design-for-charity” mindset, they maydevise effective short-term solutions to a specific technical challenge, but fail to adequatelyimplement a successful long-term resolution [1]. These projects can often have a paternalisticquality, in which engineering students, outsiders to the community, decide upon the best courseof action for community members without taking into consideration the community members’needs, goals, or desires [2
