Introducing our investigation of cultural practices for supporting ethical engineeringOur research collaboration took place within the context of a larger NSF-funded research study.This study is exploring whether and how extended immersion in cultural practices of the UMDSTS-LLC program supports students’ macro-ethical sense-making about the world andexploration of their personal and professional ethical responsibility within it [4-5]. The primaryorienting research question in our broader investigation is, “How do activities in a multi-yearliving-learning program with an STS emphasis help shape engineering students’ development ofmacro-ethical perspectives and participation in macro-ethical practices across multiple contextsover time

As an exploratory partof developing a measure of culture of inclusion, we thought to assess behaviors associated withsupporting it. Specifically, we were interested in the extent to which faculty, staff, and studentswere already engaging in inclusion-related activities. We began our exploration by focusing ontwo common ways that Center members support a culture of inclusion: through engaging inrecruitment and mentoring of individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in engineering.Research has shown that when workplaces are not diverse (e.g., low percentages

Generally, faculty members issue exams two ways for in-person/hybridmodality: 1) during the allotted class time, or 2) evening exams, which are granted an approximatetimeframe of two or three hours. During the course duration, the instructor posted lecture notes,homework assignments, and homework solutions on the CANVAS portal as supplement to assiststudents with course material. Additionally, all lectures were saved and recorded in the Zoomcloud in case students needed to review lecture concepts independently. However, during the examwindow, the instructor removed all student access to lecture notes, homework assignments andsolutions, and recorded lectures to enforce academic

Respondents had the option to name faculty who motivated them to pursueprofessional licensure but only ten faculty members were named. Of these ten faculty memberslisted, eight of them had their PE and the other two were department chairs. This indicates theimportance of having licensed faculty on staff to encourage students in taking the FE. Beyond the seven motivating factors represented in Table 4, four respondents clarified thata motivating factor was that they were required to take the FE exam to graduate. Of these fourrespondents, three agreed or strongly
increaseenjoyment and 5% of students determined the goal of gamified learning was not to improve theirgaming skills [9]. This reflection in their responses show that students know gamified learningisn't like playing a game as they would outside of the classroom, but rather it is used as anothertool to further their education in a modern way. From the responses of these engineeringstudents, it is evident that the need for an overhaul in the typical engineering education learningenvironment is very much needed. While students are eager to accomplish new feats in theireducational career, it is difficult for them to achieve those feats due to the competitiveness that isfostered, whether directly or indirectly, and lack of encouragement to explore outside of

That was very informative.” “I liked the spotlights of the different concentrations so we could understand the differences and hear from the teachers.”These student perspectives underscore the important of faculty thread representatives withinECE Discovery Studio. Thread experts are critical to achieving student-learning outcomes,including: • Students will build an understanding of the ECE curriculum threads and make a preliminary decision regarding their course of study. • Students will explore the broader field of electrical and computer engineering with respect
efficacy of the program’s virtual activities.The results above demonstrate the ability of the EXPLORE Mobile Lab to affect change instudents’ engineering identity; however, the change is statistically significant following multipleinterventions rather than just a single intervention. This suggests that repeated outreach programactivities may have more of an effect on the students’ identification with engineering than asingle exposure. In the case study results, greater increases were seen in the recognition vectors.It is hypothesized that having the students work on the activity in a group, having the programfacilitated by an engineering faculty, and having the faculty member reinforce the idea that theydid an engineering task could be the reason

Does the STEM networking intervention result in greater retention of community college women in engineering and computer science programs?Conceptual FrameworkArcher et al. proposed the concept of “science capital” as a theoretical lens to help explain whysome students have intentions to pursue science careers, have different levels of science self-efficacy, and see themselves as a “science person” [10] [11]. This theory builds on Bourdieu’stheory of cultural capital – that the relevant attitudes, knowledge, information, skills, andresources that an individual possesses can contribute to one’s power and progress [12]. Anindividual’s social network can serve to provide access and information that help a studentnavigate and persist on the CC

cultural change in engineering education come at a cost,however. Faculty members must support the changes and institutional resources must beprovided for initiatives to be successful for an extended period of time.Retaining students' interests and supporting their long-term career development is a culturallydependent process. Diverse students have a diverse set of backgrounds, interests, andexpectations [15]. In particular, racially-minoritized students face distinct equity challenges [16].Such challenges and the corresponding inequities exist both in CEE education and in the publicinfrastructure that is the tangible output of CEE education. Malcom-Piqueux characterizesmilestones in the history of US public education in two dimensions: race
, ethnicity, employment, etc. [12], [22], [25].Considering causes related to academic factors, research also indicates that student dropoutpertains to how the student relates to the academic system [6], [12], [14], [16]–[18]. Forexample, Tinto’s model suggests that the level of social and intellectual integration, the intentionto follow an academic path, and the commitment to finish the career, are the main areas drivingstudent dropout. At the same time, Gorky [27] proposes that student satisfaction with academicservices can drive a student’s decision to drop out. Student satisfaction refers to the fulfillment ofmainly three categories when providing the academic service which are reliability, empathy, andresponsiveness. These last factors are mainly

We used a single case studymethodology to examine the counternarrative of Andre, an Afro-Latino male undergraduatecomputer engineering student who took an engineering course that integrated issues of racialinequality. We found that Andre’s social identity was not only related to but was inseparablefrom his engineering identity in that he identified as a “Black engineer.” His experiences as aBlack person caused him to have a personal connection to his critiques of social oppression, andhe learned how he might have a role in working toward social justice through engineering
