. Thisfull paper explores the impact of self-paced and online Portable intercultural modules (PIMs) onthe intercultural learning goals of the students enrolled in a junior-level system thinking course.The PIM used in the class aims to improve learners’ teamwork and communication skills. ThePIM contains five activities, including watching videos about cultural diversity and empathy,survey, quizzes, and exercise that applies learning towards intercultural collaboration. The studentsin the system thinking course were asked to complete the PIM and a reflection assignment. Theresearch questions that we intend to answer for this study are: RQ1: What domains of interculturalcompetence, as defined by the AAC&U IKC Value rubric, are represented through

We apply this methodology to publicly available newsgroupdata which is pre-labeled by topic to demonstrate that MDM distribution may be used toextract a visual dichotomy in the text structure belonging to different topics. In otherwords, text data pertaining to a specific topic have similar MDM distributioncharacteristics. In the future we will apply this methodology to labeled reflections authoredby n students in an Engineering mechanics classroom that is infused with activities thatinvolve an Entrepreneurial mindset (EM) to identify if MDM distribution and clusteringindicates the presence of EM.Future work will also include exploring the confluence of MDM and rhetorical moves, sincewe believe

However, little is known about howstudents' reflections, motivation and self-directed learning are related within engineering context.In this study, data from the students' responses to surveys were analyzed to determine theassociation among the variables of interest. The calculated Pearson correlation coefficient fromthe data shows that self-assessment components of self-reflection, positive perception of self-assessment, and intrinsic motivation have strong significant correlations. Both motivationvariables of task value and control belief have a medium to high correlation with the self-assessment

to metacognitive learningengagements. In the process of self-assessing, students activate self-regulatory functions thatenable students to take ownership of their own learning. Self-assessment activities includestudents reflecting on, evaluating, and monitoring their own learning performances. Studentswho self-assess are better able to identify areas they need to improve upon, and to determine themost appropriate courses of action to achieve academic success. However, little is known aboutthe congruence in students’ perception of self-assessment and instructor's intent in requiring self-assessments. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of engineeringstudents who participated in self-assessment in an engineering

unpredictable futures as professionals and citizens. By expandingthe capacity to study engineering practice through students serving as participant observers, wepropose that academia can learn more about the engineering workplace while students gain atruer understanding of engineering work. At the same time, reflectively engaging with practicemay help students develop new professional competencies, while potentially also identifyingmisalignments between their own identities and goals, on one hand, and current educational andworkplace realities, on the other. This paper will likely be of interest to researchers who studyengineering practice, and especially those concerned with the full range of practical andmethodological challenges associated with

that do not directly reflect our espoused beliefs [14]. We can,however, better predict our future behaviors by engaging in self-reflection related to our previousbehaviors, thus helping to build awareness for future judgements [15]. Due to the inherentcomplexity associated with judgements in a process safety setting, a lack of awareness maycause engineering practitioners to behave outside of their typical set of beliefs, sometimesresulting in poor or uninformed judgements.We are studying chemical engineering students to understand how their beliefs and behaviorscompare in the context of process safety judgements and how they react to any differences sothat we can prepare students to acknowledge the inherent complexity of how they

An empathy map, a design thinking tool, was used by investigators toanalyze each interview, identifying needs and insights about students’ engagement in eachcourse. Based on this initial understanding of student learning challenges, researchers generatedideas to improve learning. Participants were then invited to join small focus group discussions toshare their feedback and contribute their own ideas on the reimagined learning experience.From researchers’ reflections and collaborative discussions, three themes emerged in relation tofundamental learning problems

We see an opportunity to extend panel discussions to have enduring impact bybroadly distributing the data synthesized during the panel discussions. The use of paneldiscussions as a research endeavor has the potential to broaden researchers' ways of knowing, yetknowledge transfer from panel conversations to peer-reviewed publications has to this point beenminimal.This paper highlights a methodology for analyzing panel discussions, discourse content, andpanelist reflection to produce research results

However,whether LGBTQ students experience self-concept or social fit may determine avoidancebehaviors that may ultimately lead them to abandon a STEM major and their STEM career goals.The disclosure of LGBTQ identity to others then reflects both higher self-concept fit and socialfit in that LGBTQ students can be their “true selves” in STEM environments and have theirLGBTQ identities validated by their peers. The decision to compartmentalize LGBTQ identitieswithin STEM environments reflects social identity threat posed by a lack of self-concept and/orsocial fit. Given what prior research has indicated about the LGBTQ climate in STEM, then,these environments would be expected to pose more social identity threat than many

Using this method,for the difficult dimension, the model learns to identify words that are more correlated withhigher difficulty ratings but not correlated with quality ratings.From these word lists, two of the authors manually annotated the words that were valid membersof the different dimensions based on fixed criteria. For example, the word “helping” would countas helpful but not clear because helpful words should reflect positive social behavior while clearwords indicate effective communication. Next, we adapt these lists to the original CCE dataset bycomputing the nearest neighbors to the words in each dimension, using word embeddings trainedon the CCE text data [22]. Computing

slowlyincreased (Cunninghame et al., 2016), this group still remains largely underrepresented in STEMdisciplines (Moon et al., 2012). This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).

Reflecting this shift, the number of qualitative researcharticles in engineering education reflects the increase in interest in qualitative methods and theneed for introductory material for pivoting researchers. It has been the norm for engineeringeducation researchers to partner with emergent and pivoting engineering faculty members tomentor them through this transition, but the process is often time- and resource-intensive. To meetthis need, we have developed this primer on
