development [9]. Idea generation, synonymouswith brainstorming, focuses on generating a large quantity of ideas in a short period of time, withlists ranging from 50 - 100+ ideas. Concept development works to pare down and combineelements of this list into manageable numbers, no more than a dozen or so for consideration. Ashuman-centered design is a defining characteristic of design thinking, the finalized list ofsolutions should reflect the user’s needs in an end product [9]. For those who wish to develop adesign thinking mindset, practice in divergent thinking or thinking creatively, is an essential step.Creativity is often referred to in the idea generation step of design thinking, as it is of great aidwhen developing a large list of potential

Therefore, engineering schools must preparestudents with teamwork skills and incorporate teamwork as a significant part of their engineeringcurricula (ABET, 2021).Team participation is typically evaluated through peer evaluations or through instructorobservation of individual team members. Several tools have been developed to assess individualperformance, such as the Team Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ) or the ComprehensiveAssessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME). These assessment tools are based onself-reflections or peer evaluations. However, the efficacy of these tools has been questioned.At the University of

The purpose of the minute paper activity is to have students reflecton their conception of research in order to expose students to research as a career path and toaddress misconceptions about research.

Projects like this also address a wider set oflearning styles, promote critical and proactive thinking, and reflection. Mills et. al. [2, 8] argue thatthe current engineering programs do not provide sufficient design experience to students. Becauseof this, graduates often lack communication skills and teamwork experience. Engineeringprograms need to develop more awareness among students of the social, environmental, economic,and legal issues. These issues are better addressed in a project-based learning environment than inany other classroom setting. Mills et. al suggest that they are part of the reality of

Employment in a bureaucratic organization is expected to be full time and long term, with opportunities for advancement—in short, a career. (p. 3)In many organizations today, such bureaucratic arrangement has morphed into more flexible and“flat” structures (see [3])—but even within those structures, with smaller manager ranks andfewer hierarchical levels, people report to people, i.e., accountability and decision-makingauthority rolls up from contributor to leader.Overall, these relationships reflect an organization’s reporting structure.

biomedical engineering curricula in universities across the UnitedStates [5]. For example, programs like Johns Hopkins University’s two week long clinicalobservation program for undergraduates [6] and the authors’ institution’s unique two semesterlong Engineering in Surgery and Intervention Course for graduate students [7] attempt toincorporate a clinically immersive aspect to the traditional biomedical engineering corecurriculum. Through the use of grades, survey data, reflections and other measures, theseprograms show promising improvements to students’ abilities to understand and identify clinicaland surgical needs as biomedical engineers.

They weretreated the same as the students who never understood the concept.Offering partial credit for an exam is an interesting topic by itself among the educationalcommunity. Some faculty members do not give it, while many others do. The methods fordetermining partial credit include reviewing exam papers manually [12], asking and reviewingpost-exam reflections from the students [13], and conducting in-person interviews [14].

everything before writing a first draft, is an incrediblyimportant piece of the process of writing that forces the writer to begin organization and synthesisprior to drafting [2-5]. The motivation for this work comes from a decade of experience teachingtechnical and professional communication to engineering graduate and undergraduate students andthe observed resistance to engaging in prewriting. The majority of students encountered prefer tojump straight into writing, seeing prewriting as a cumbersome task that takes up time withoutseemingly obvious benefit. Reflecting on student resistance to pre-writing activities, such as thepopular outlining, raised the question of what other, perhaps less traditional, approaches might beoffered to students as

That these concepts overlap with related frameworks forunderstanding students’ motivation to succeed and perform in STEM education is perhaps unsurprising,but results in a complicated picture of how EI forms and what role it might play in students’ trajectories.To disentangle expectancy value constructs of motivation and EI measures of competency beliefs, wouldrequire a simultaneous consideration of both- an approach absent in the current literature[8].

to understand what this process may entail.According to some graduate education scholars, there are four core elements related to graduatestudents' development of an identity congruent with the norms and values of their field:knowledge acquisition, investment, involvement, and engagement (Weidman, 2006). Knowledgeacquisition describes how students learn skills and information that will help them perform wellin their new role as a Ph.D. student, as well as gain an understanding of what academic successentails. Through knowledge acquisition, students become aware of normative expectations of thePh.D. student role and can make a realistic assessment of their personal ability to pursue theirdesired career. The student's investment reflects their
