Table I: Project BarriersIn initial meetings with members of ECEDHA and IEC, one of the most common issues was thatthe original, very simple version of the RECET website was not easily searchable becausecontent was not tagged. The website was produced in a manner that made the content available,but without much structure. A plan was developed to collect a set of tags for RECET content.The initial set was much too large to be convenient, so it was reduced to the present set that canbe seen on the website.

In addition, ten randomly selected students, stratified by gender(considered as binary), were interviewed pre and post semester. Interview questions includeengineering identity development as well as impact of the implementation. Some examples ofinterview questions are as follow: • What does chemical engineering mean to you? • Why did you choose this major, and what are your plans after graduation? • Did you know any chemical engineer before? • Do you consider yourself a chemical engineer? What does it mean to you to be a chemical

issues about the underlying philosophy of engineering and engineering education [1].Coming to the fore, from all the division’s activities, these three factors combine to form theultimate drivers to technological and engineering literacy / philosophy of engineering. Thus,with a division and membership already knowledgeable of these three factors, the ultimatemeasure of the success of all that which the division has accomplished will be the ability of thedivision to move into a more public focus.Normally, these discussion points would lead to the development of an organizational structure,attendant positions, and an operating plan aimed at their achievement.

Finally, we end with our conclusions and planned future work in Section 7.2 Literature ReviewThe Computer Science discipline has the highest number of academic misconduct cases whencompared to any other discipline [6]. However, it is not certain whether this is due to 1) trulyhigher rates of dishonesty; 2) the existence / use of more detection tools in the field; or 3) thenature of solutions in this field, especially to programming problems (i.e., there may only be a fewefficient ways to solve a given problem) [6].

ECE Discovery Studio, a requiredone-credit hour discipline-specific extended orientation course, is central to the School’s holisticapproach to student success in the absence of an institute-level general first-year engineeringprogram. All undergraduate electrical engineering (EE) and computer engineering (CmpE)majors are required to take ECE Discovery Studio, ideally within the first academic year enteringthe program regardless of matriculation pathway, which may be true first-year students, transfersfrom another university, non-traditional students returning from a stop-out, change-of-majors,career changers, and dual-degree engineering students.Given the diversity of entry points to ECE’s undergraduate program and

A unique aspect of the GrOW program was that itwas led by (senior) graduate students (authors), who first-hand understood the needs of first-yeargraduate students, which yielded relatable and useful events. Therefore, the authors also suggestthat there be some involvement of students (for example, from registered graduate studentorganizations) in the planning and execution of such programs in the future.SummaryA year-long orientation program for gender minorities in the first year of graduate engineering atUIUC was developed and consisted of 7 events spread throughout the academic year.

To effectively engage elementary students in engineering practices to learn disciplinarycontent and crosscutting concepts, high-quality curriculum needs to be available and accessibleto all, and teachers need to participate in professional learning opportunities. Those learningopportunities should not only include them as learners experiencing engineering as a novice butshould also include pedagogies that are effective for scaffolding design projects and supportingstudents through the process of asking, planning, creating, testing, and improving.

Science and Engineering (CSE) majors from eight CSEcourses at a large, research-intensive university located in the United States. Five questions about thestudent experience in the current course and their plans for the next course were embedded into largersurveys administered in each of the participating courses. In this paper, we focus on student responses tothe following survey questions: “What are barriers that might prevent you from taking the next coursein this sequence?” and “What makes you feel good about your plans to take the next course in thissequence?” Each of the participating courses serves as a prerequisite course for at least one subsequentcourse (for example: Intro to CS I is a prerequisite for Intro to CS II).We address the

The difference between factors appears to be the way in which a generalized notionof diversity is viewed as related to demographic markers of diversity.DiscussionDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ubiquitous in the current computer science higher educationclimate, yet definitions vary, as do perspectives regarding what forms of diversity are valued ineducational spaces. As DEI plans become commonplace for securing federal funding [28], understandinghow students, staff and faculty conceptualize the value of diversity will only increase in importance.The Q-sort

Case study is a research method that ”...investigates a phenomenon (the ’case’) in depth andwithin its real-world context” [18, p.15]. Once the case has been defined, the researcher definesthe boundaries of the case. These boundaries provide a clear scope for the project and help theresearcher make decisions about what data to include [18].As Team X’s original plan was to use a case study methodology to study traditional, in
forethought phase occurs before learners begin work on the task andinfluences how they engage in the task and their ability to succeed in it. In this phase, thelearners analyze the task, assess their motivational beliefs, and plan strategies to successfullyobtain their goals and complete the task. In the performance phase, the learners undertake thetask, using self-control to adhere to their planned strategies and self-observation to monitor theirprogress and evaluate their work. In the final phase, self-reflection, learners use self-judgmentand self-reaction to reflect on the effectiveness of the strategies they used during the performancephase and their need for future improvements.

in the list correspond to hierarchically lower categories and provide a foundation to build upon to reach and achieve higher categories. In addition, the taxonomy has a dimension exploring four types of knowledge: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. This taxonomy can greatly aid educators in clearly defining course goals to achieve desired learning outcomes, and it also helps align the expectations of students and educators for the learning experience in a course. Thus, Bloom’s taxonomy can also inform the assessment techniques that educators might use to evaluate whether students have truly grasped the planned learning goals. In fact, Bloom’s taxonomy has been applied in an ECE education context. Meda and

For this, we used solid works, as we planned on 3D printing the piece. We wereworking with about 12 cm of length on the rod, and the diameter of the inside of the part had to bejust about 2.2 cm to fit on the rod. We tried to find the best balance of strength and freedom ofmobility, as we wanted the piece to be strong enough not to break, but needed to allow for the fullunrestricted rotation of the motor. With these things in mind, we decided on a thickness of 0.3 cm.The

This will be an areafor improvement and stronger focus in upcoming offerings. One way to mitigate this is to focuson these topics using a very small system and hand calculations before moving to a larger systemwhich requires a computer to perform the calculations.In the future, the authors plan to collect data from future offerings of the course to improve uponwhat has been done. This data could be used to answer the question of whether this method ofinstruction is proven to be more effective than simply giving students a simulator to use.In addition, the authors plan to release the course materials

Outcome 5 mentions leadership,collaboration, inclusivity, and several management tasks, such as setting goals, planning tasks,and meeting objectives, to clarify the meaning of effective team functioning. Because our programs have courses that require groups of students to work as a team, ourprograms generally meet Outcome 5. However, we would like to do better than merely meet theoutcome. Standing in our way are two challenges: As engineers with expertise in other topics,curating instructional materials (learning activities and assessments) related to teamworkeffectiveness is challenging. There are so many options for teaching students how to work betterin teams that it is overwhelming, making it challenging to select the most appropriate
