Hence, following thesubmission of their final report, students were asked to: (1) write several paragraphs about whatthey learned, why they were more engaged, the challenges they encountered and how theytackled them, and the usefulness of various classroom activities and tools and (2) rate the qualityof their learning experience in reference to the course learning objectives. In their writing,students often cited that the knowledge-building project reinforced their understanding of
used in chemical engineering instruction, in part because oftheir availability through learning repositories like LearnChemE.com and AIChE ConceptWarehouse. ConcepTests evaluate the readers’ understanding by integrating the concepts intoquestions that force the learners to evaluate their own arguments for certain multiple-choiceanswers while selecting one final answer. Thus, the learners’ considered reasoning before selectingan answer allows for evaluation of conceptual understanding. However, few ConcepTests havebeen developed for Process Control courses.As an extra credit assignment in a Process Control course at Northeastern University, studentswere given the opportunity to write ConcepTest questions of their own for use with

Here, we focus on how studentsadapted to online education and their perceptions of the teaching and learning activitiesemployed in online courses. In particular, we report on student experiences pertaining to: (1)office hours, (2) synchronous online lectures, and (3) asynchronous recorded lectures.2 - Theoretical frameworkThis study is grounded in Weidman's socialization model. Weidman posed a process model thatasserts a student's engagement with their learning environment leads to various degrees ofintegration into the existing culture. To elaborate, he writes, "there is a pervasive consensus onnorms and expectation for students in higher education that is driven by

critical approaches were scaffolded in class concurrent withguidance and support from both supportive faculty and peers (p. 879).Professional IdentityProfessional identity frames the importance of one’s work to the self and is foundational foroverall personal development [46]. While a number of models exist to describe it (e.g., [47]),Lave and Wenger’s [48] Community of Practice (CoP) model has emerged as a usefulframework for understanding the engineering profession [e.g., 27, 49, 50]. This model is basedon historical apprenticeship models and the identity transformation often resulting from thisprocess. This study has adopted the CoP model to explore professional identity. The CoP modelframes a profession as a community of experts surrounded by

This process was repeated as each subsequentpaper was located until no new references were found. Next, EBSCOHost was used to search thefollowing databases: ERIC, Academic Search Ultimate, and APA PsychInfo in tandem withGoogle Scholar. Finally, a search was conducted on ASEE’s PEER database. Key words forsearching these databases were developed by selecting common key words from the previouslyobtained literature, as well as through consultation with a university librarian whose expertise isin educational research. Key words included “military”, “veteran”, “student”, “engineeringeducation”, and “undergraduate
hosted onCoCalc [18], students were encouraged to only have one or two members actually writing code,one projecting the content to the table monitor, while the entire group discussed how to solve theproblem. This helped prevent groups from simply "splitting" the notebook amongst themselves,defeating the point of a collaborative environment. Of the 14 sessions of this pilot course, 9 werereserved for the collaborative notebooks while the rest were dedicated to a project, where studentswould propose their own application of linear algebra and present it to their peers. Examples offinal projects included image classifiers and stock market predictors. Due to the restrictionsimposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the course moved to a fully online format

Active learning [2],increased class time [3], recitation [4], project-based learning [5], and peer tutoring [6] are just afew of the methods chosen to enhance traditional lecture-based courses. However, studies forsome of these methods point to mixed results when integrated into the main Statics course [3],[5]. Some show that the results are statistically insignificant when compared to previous lecture-based approaches, and that any improvement can be attributed to factors such as studentattendance, participation, and course satisfaction [5], [7], [8].Additionally, active learning and other innovative pedagogies have barriers which preventinstructors from embracing

Second, what are the primary skills that the construction companies are looking for?Third, do our students know how to express their opinions in a meeting, write a report, make apresentation, work in a team, and finally, know about ethics and compliance? IntroductionSimilar to engineering, construction management is about providing better, safer products andservices; being trusted, while following clients’ expectations and specifications andcontemplating the triple constraints (scope, time, and budget) [1]. This translates to completingthe project within the planned schedule and budget while keeping the stakeholders satisfied withthe final delivery. It is unique within

Weearnestly call this “hosting STS parties”; during the course, as they grapple with the intensity andintractability of the large-scale problems that technology has perpetuated (misinformation,polarization, war, white supremacy) they learn that their agency is related to their ability tosurface difficult questions with their peers, subordinates, or superiors. This simultaneouslylowers the bar for what it means for them to be agentic in the context of ethics, while takingseriously the issue that

Without exception, the student groups chose to set up a group inDiscord and do their work there. Designs were completed using Altera Quartus II, andsimulations were used to demonstrate the functionality of the projects. While this effectivelydemonstrated the success of the groups’ projects, the presentations were dry and harder tofollow. Digital timing diagrams are no substitute for blinking LEDs, 7-segment displays, andbuzzers.

, we conducted a literature review as part of a larger study to understand what has beenstudied in EER regarding women’s epistemologies. The purpose of this paper is to explore thelandscape of women’s epistemologies in recent EER. Our guiding research question is: “Howhave women’s epistemologies been studied in published engineering education research?”To begin this literature review, we searched through the ASEE conference proceedings database(also known as PEER) for student women’s epistemologies from 2016 to 2021. We chose thistime frame to focus on current research of epistemologies in EER. The keywords used in thesearch were “Epistemology + Women + Engineering.” We focused on engineering students tohighlight the epistemologies that relate

In [11], the authors introduce the approach to understanding better of the“professional identity, culture and formation” of the technologists that will go on to four-yeardegree programs colleges.
