needed. When students post and reply to messages, and read the messages of their peers and give them feedback, this improves the quality of the learning environment dynamics and the richness of the content delivery.• Community Policies: These specify rules and standards of ethical behavior that must be followed. These should be shared with teachers and students at the start of the program. This helps to avoid confusion and inappropriate behavior. Web-based learning requires more internal self-regulation and external supervision. Community policies can provide a schema to help keep specific learning groups engaged in their online courses from beginning to end.In an educational context, the Activity model is a reminder that
improvement, such as the holistic ECE curriculum transformation projectat Colorado State University, proposing a new organizational structure that interweavesfoundational focus on math and science, creative focus via research and design opportunities,and professional focus on ethics; this is replacing the existing conventional, lecture-style, rigidECE curriculum [4]. Similar efforts have been funded by the RED initiative at Iowa StateUniversity and Virginia Tech [5]. More specific undergraduate ECE education improvementefforts have included pedagogical interventions, such as incorporating project-based learning [4],[6], as well as practical, tool-based interventions, such as the development and introduction of adebugging simulator at Stanford

them keep up with the technological changes. Overallmore African American teachers participated over four years. The teachers who participated inthe surveys reported that the program had increased their confidence in research andincorporated STEM in their classrooms. In addition, the program has provided flexibility to theteachers as they start their research two weeks after the students (REUs), which required theteachers to work more at developing their teams.ConfidenceMost of the effects were seen in the teachers' confidence in producing research articles forpublication, understanding research literature, and understanding the ethical issues surroundingresearch. Teachers' confidence levels barely changed between 2019 and 2020 but increased

usingcommon hand tools, to which students may have more prior exposure, rather than machines likedrill presses or band saws.While short practica may be a beneficial practice for developing student comfort with fabricationmethods, project-based learning still plays an important role in engineering design. Numerousstudies have indicated that integrative projects are well-suited for developing other critical skillsin engineering design, like teamwork, communication, creativity, ethics, application of technicalknowledge, or the integration of all of these skills in the overall design process, even if they arenot necessary for the development of comfort with fabrication techniques per se [26],[27],[28].Students may thus benefit from the incorporation of
Research PosterSymposium. This sharing of stories, experiences, and ideas allowed each REU member to learnmore and grow personally as well. Each REU scholar would be able to achieve this with theirown research that they undertook, but the sharing of knowledge with each other is what allowedthe establishment of the community of practice [12-13].In addition to the weekly meetings, many of the REU members attended workshops provided bythe university’s Office of Undergraduate Research. These workshops encompassed a multitudeof topics from Diversity and Inclusion in research to research Ethics. These additionalopportunities allowed for even more growth, as REU members who attended communicated with250+ undergraduate researchers from 23 different
diversetypes of data, including sociotechnical sources, to meet the needs of industries and to serve societyeffectively [6]. Students must be prepared to practice design approaches that are tailored to thecomplex realities in engineering design practice not only to support innovative and profitableindustries [7], but to support ethical, critical engineering design that considers societal needs [6].Broad, high-quality sociotechnical data collection and analysis, frequently requiring the use ofqualitative research methods, are especially critical during the front-end of design processes, whichAtman [8] defines as activities like problem scoping, requirements definition, and concept selection,and that often determine the success or failure of design

After the approval of the ethics board and the Vice-Provost Student of the university,we accessed and worked with different sets of students’ records. Here are the datasets we used inour analysis in this study:Undergraduate students’ registration and academic performance (2006-2021): The researchsample included data from 26,842 undergraduate students with at least one university recordfrom 2006 to 2021. In total, there were 275,233 records from these undergraduate students,including every session they have registered at the university. Twenty-four parameters describedthis research sample, but we
funding needs to be available for engineeringextracurriculars in low economic and rural school districts. To improve the perceptions of womxnand other underrepresented identities in STEM, the representation of scientists and engineers needsto be shifted in the classroom and in media. Textbooks, educational videos, and classroomexamples need to depict people with different genders, races, and ethnographies, allowing youngstudents to see themselves as engineers. Teachers need to be trained on how to avoidmicroaggressions and foster inclusivity in classrooms. Diversity, inclusion, and ethics need to beincluded in the K-12 STEM curriculum.Undergraduate education: Following changes to K-12 education, undergraduate education needsto undergo systemic
enrollment data by gender and race were available. Since this data is publiclyavailable, our research ethics board does not require research study review.Gender data was limited to the categories “male” and “female”. We will use these terms whenexamining the data, but will use the terms “men” and “women” in discussing the results in linewith our constructionist approach to gender [33]. We acknowledge that there is a difference inmeaning between these terms (e.g., male versus man), and that the dataset does not represent allgenders (i.e., non-binary).Racial data was distributed among the following categories: ● American Indian/Alaska Native ● Asian ● Black ● Foreign ● Hispanic ● Multiracial (added in 2010) ● Native Hawaiian

Students who have more in-ternal motivation are more likely to succeed in doctoral degree programs, whichtend to require individual work ethic and self-driven goals and research (Sverd-lik et al. 2018, p. 376-377). Internal motivators, such as a desire to succeed inacademia or the desire to better research skills, help graduate students succeedwithin a graduate school environment (Sverdlik et al. 2018, p. 377). Addition-ally, students who already have a strong set of writing skills are likely to be moresuccessful in graduate school than those without (Sverdlik et al. 2018, p. 377-378). Beyond having strong technical writing, students who are able to plan,write, and revise in an organized manner are less anxious and more confident

The platform now has a bank of about 300 concept questions for Staticsand is very effective to elicit student written responses, drive conversation, and peer more deeplyinto student reasoning (Papadopoulos et al., 2022). However, even though there is a high rate ofstudent response, the corresponding grade weight was no more than 5% of the grade. In thiscontext, I have not yet established firm evidence that experience with concept questionsimproves performance on procedural test questions, although this has been previously argued(Koretsky et al., 2016)During the last decade or so, I have also begun to “contextualize” problems in both homeworkand exam settings to address issues of ethics, social justice and sustainability (Leydens &
student-centered approach to teaching and learning. [33].ITL aligns to guidelines provided by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)[34] to establish that students should be learning engineering in ways that look like the work engineers do([4], [35]). To meet ABET learning objectives and teaching through Inquiry, students work on teams toidentify, design, and solve complex problems and to create ways to test their ideas that meet specificneeds and constraints of health, culture, environment and economics, while communicating effectively todifferent stakeholders and exercising ethical and professional judgments. ABET learning objectives arerepresentative of Inquiry and not Transmission teaching ([4], [14]). Even
semester, a total of 26 students completed the first writingexercise and 24 completed the second. The exercises were administered during lab time under theobservation of the lab instructor and with the specific instruction not to use a calculator and tocomplete all work within the application. No technical issues arose during testing. As the workinvolved human subjects, approval of all ethical and experimental procedures and protocol wasgranted by the Institutional Review Board of Montana State University.Pre-Response Self-Rating Versus Post-Response Self-Rating Versus Post DLR ConfidenceAs noted previously, students rated their perceived ability to correctly answer the primary questionof the writing exercise after reading the question but before
thesubject matter [33]. Disagreements regarding the coding or data analysis were addressed andresolved by consensus. This resulted in multiple iterations of the coding process with evolvingdialogue regarding the data to ensure that the analysis process maintained credibility andtrustworthiness in the substantive validation process [33]. We continually engaged in self-reflection and conversations regarding our positionality to reinforce ethical validation. Throughthese conversations, we evaluated how our positionality influenced our data analysis and tooksteps to ensure the participants' voices were centered in our minds.Table 3.
