. The goal is to provide insights that will help framefuture studies of students who do not value engaging with or belonging in their engineeringprograms to the detriment of their professional formation as engineers.Literature ReviewSense of Belonging and Persistence At a fundamental level, humans have the desire to belong. The desire for interpersonalrelationships has an additive effect on that desire. Previous research on students’ academicsuccess has primarily focused on the interaction between students’ sense of belonging,motivation, self-efficacy, and perception of curriculum [1], [2]. On the college campus andwithin STEM classrooms, several characteristics are known to commonly exhibit a positiveeffect on students’ sense of belonging

Notethat the exams of the two sections originated from two distinct versions, and therefore the examthat each section received was sufficiently different to avoid issues with academic integrity. Foreach question, the holistic design resulted in a comparison group for the building-block design.For the purpose of this study, correctness grading was then also applied to the building-blockdesign. This approach is the core of our proposed methodology. An AI-assisted grader was usedto facilitate the correctness-based grading methodology. Specifically, exams were uploaded intoGradescope [19]. Its built-in AI was used to read the handwritten answers from the answer boxesand automatically classify them in groups. These groups were

multidisciplinary curriculum involving two or moresubject areas not only increases students’ competence in complex problem solving and thuscompetitiveness in the workforce, but also increases interest in future coursework for women [5,6, 7, 8]. The inclusion of engineering majors that support multidisciplinary pathways could helprecruit and retain more engineers into the workforce, as well as help balance the ratio of men towomen engineers practicing the profession.Recently at several universities (such as University of Colorado Boulder, Boise State, OregonState, Texas A&M, Purdue, and University of Southern California), there has been an emergenceof new engineering majors which incorporate outside disciplines into engineering studies,allowing for more

Onesignificant advantage the building and skilled trades education programs offer students isapprenticeships with local employers, which allows them to earn money and gain valuable on-the-job experience at the same time they’re getting an education. Sometimes theseapprenticeships lead to full-time positions in the company. With the foregoing in mind, the goalof this paper is to clearly define the building and technical skilled trades, focusing onarchitectural technology, automotive systems technology, computer-integrated machining,construction trades, electrical systems technology, and electronics engineering technology.Added emphasis will be placed on the role of engineering in teaching these subjects and

In a modified backward design process forlearner-centered course design, designers consider 5 stages in an approximately linear butiterative fashion: situational factors (context), goals/objectives, assessment/feedback, activities,and integration[15], [16]. We, the program administrators, focused on the desiredobjectives/goals/outcomes and the

Another empirical study on learning analytics was alsoinvestigated on Moodle to capture personalized recommendations based on log data [24].Learning analytics and deep learning approach were also implemented in MOOC platforms toincrease students’ engagement and provide a flexible curriculum, as well as an instructionaldesign [33], [38].6. ConclusionsThis systematized literature review conducted an investigation into the utilization of deeplearning recommender systems to support personalized learning environments that werepresented in previous research. A search of three databases yielded 409 articles, which werewhittled down to 20 articles that were read and annotated to generate

In our sample, the majority of our students identified as first-generation college students73% (27) in Spring 2022 and 74% (28) in Fall 2022. Since the institution is an HSI, with a veryhigh enrollment of Latinx students, we expected to see more representation of students whoidentified as Latinx. In Spring 2022, 62% (23) of the students identified as Latinx, while in theFall 2022 semester 74% (28) identified as Latinx. There were more male identifying students inour sample compared to female identifying students in both semester, Spring 2022 sample of malestudents 73% (27) and Fall 2022 sample of male
thoughtful mapping,planning, and alignment of student outcomes to direct assessments of students that must conductedby faculty on an on-going basis. This process must be systematic to facilitate the continuous reviewof programs.Faculty assessment of student outcome performance is a critical component of this process. Whilethe spreadsheet is still the most common assessment tool, several programs have developed othertools and instruments to aid in the assessment process. These tools are often used to automate someportion of the assessment process [2–5]. Programs develop tools in-house or purchase commercialsoftware. These tools may have several benefits such as including the systematic integration ofplanning and assessment, centralized maintenance

If ourcurriculum did not already include an introductory course that addresses the profession andcareer paths and the curriculum, and that connects students with alumni/practicing engineers,these important topics would be included in the intervention as well, to address the “weakinstitution and/or course match” driver. The intervention addresses the “unsatisfactory academicexperience” driver by provoking students to explore the difference between their ownexpectations of college and the demands of the major and profession; we do so by guiding themto develop other key competencies (e.g., critical thinking, design), and by bringing in seniors asguests to

balance an understanding ofboth the technical context with consideration for the social, contextual, and cultural influence onengineering, especially since different countries have different approaches to problem-solving,collaboration, and communication [2]. One way of integrating global competency learning intothe engineering curriculum is through study abroad programs [3]. These programs range induration such as two-week or summer-long time frames and focus on context, country, andlanguage-learning components. However, one of the main barriers for these programs isaccessibility and the lack of flexibility in engineering curricula. Hence, some programs offershort international experiences during the summer to allow students to participate

Over 65% of studentsacknowledge an interest in STEM before middle school age, yet often formal STEMprogramming is not part of the curriculum until high school [46]. Policies and interventionsbeing focused on this older student population have given rise to informal educational spaces, forexample, museums, camps, and science fairs, being available to a wider age range of people [47].These informal educational spaces provide participants with authentic, hands-on, interactivelearning, prior to more formal introductions, and it is believed that these informal spaces appealto a more diverse group of people [47].2.3 Gender SocializationGendered messaging manifests in many implicit ways
course offered in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, students explore thedirect and indirect stakeholders involved in a coastal engineering design example. During an in-class session, students learn how to brainstorm the values and norms of stakeholders that theyidentify, and then integrate those values into design criteria such that it benefits a broader swathof the community. The students then applied the VSD concepts to a course project that requiredthem to create design criteria that satisfied stakeholder’s needs beyond the original client. Theinclusion of this activity in the course curriculum created students who were more invested andaware of the potential impacts of their design.Introduction and Literature Review
