validated ICAP [12] frameworkthat allows to make claims to measure student cognitive engagement in these activities [11]. Thisinformation will help us to shape our learning activities to meet student needs.In this first year, both assessments of IRB-approved surveys, and the worksheet, our focus willbe on identifying student misconceptions and determining how to repair these misconceptionswill help us to focus our repairs on the most important concepts in this topic. As we reiterate ourclassroom implementation strategies, we plan to implement this module across the country at dif-ferent institutions. Our ultimate goal in this project is to provide a learning tool that can enhancelearning in packed bed/fluidized bed topics across different
variousteaching roles (labs, tutorials and design projects), who contractually can undertake a maximum of 6hours of teaching per week. Our GTA cohort is somewhat heterogenous made up of a mixture ofrecent graduates and those with industrial experience, with some being entirely new to teaching whileothers have limited prior experience.The central research question guiding the study reported here is: whether there are any currentmechanisms that are illustrative of (potential) decisional capital, and how these could be furtherenhanced. As this paper is a work in progress (WIP) piece, we are deliberately focusing on one aspectof a much wider study, that considers how professional capital [3][4] can be used to enable individualGTAs to professionalise their

contained the same grade distribution forclass participation, weekly group work participation, homework, group project, and the finalexam. While the control group had 3 midterm exams, the intervention group had 2 midtermexams and one group research presentation with the same grade distribution. The goal of our IRB-approved research study was to analyze the impact of gender,racial/ethnic background, and first-generation status on the students’ mindsets. In this paper, wereported our preliminary observations from the control group and described the mindsetinterventions applied to the intervention group. In the future, we intend to report the observationsfrom the intervention group and show the comparisons between the control and the
-assessment, such as offering extra credit orincorporating self-assessment results into the overall grading scheme as used in this study.A we continue to work on this topic, the following future works are in the pipeline: 1) investigatehow different teaching approaches affect self-assessment accuracy, 2) investigate the effect of self-assessment on overall performance, and 3) analyze how different groups of students (such as poorand good students) assess themselves.AcknowledgementsThis project is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.DUE 1821023.

The initialplan was to import Canvas assessments into SearchLight. But since this tool is no longer supportedby the University, the team is exploring other options such as PowerBI and Tableau.Figure 9 in the appendix presents the pilot PowerBI dashboard summarizing Canvas student out-come results. The goal of this pilot project is to incorporate and improve upon some of the re-porting features found in SearchLight and to compile data from various sources into one database.Though there is increased flexibility by building out the reporting infrastructure, it requires moreskills

During the study, t-tests were performed on the two cohorts to search for significantdifferences between the groups in terms of performance on major assessments. These assessmentswere chosen because they were uniform for both cohorts. Only homework and quizzes completedby the Top Hat cohort required the use of significant digits, whereas the Traditional cohort didnot have to use significant digits in both the calculation and reporting of their answers for theirassigned homework and quizzes. These two groups were also involved in a second study involvingtheir course project, therefore the project was removed from the calculation of their final gradeprior to the data being analyzed.For consistency of all

Previous teacher and student studies have documented success with theCrumble in England and the U.S. due to its durability, affordability, ease of use, wealth ofinstructional resources available, and appropriateness for students and teachers in the elementaryand middle grades who have varying levels of experience with physical computing [5-6,10,28-29]. In addition, the Crumble can be programmed using drag-and-drop block-based coding tocontrol external sensors.

COVID restrictions and having places to go it gets really hectic and hard to communicate. (Cohort 2)This inability to effectively communicate not only limited peer-to-peer discussion, it alsohindered the development of social capital (connections with peers) that otherwise would havebeen supportive of learning within the course. In some instances, this meant limited opportunitiesto conduct group work or projects. In other cases, it meant that they lacked a reference group ofpeers who are also studying in engineering and so they ultimately felt like they were strugglingalone. It really made it hard to get help with projects or talk to people and be like, hey, I'm having an issue, like maybe you're having

current reported effort contributes to the growing body of knowledge and resourcesgenerated by the multi-institutional Mentorship 360 (M360) project, funded by the Kern FamilyFoundation. Junior and senior faculty were interviewed to examine perceptions of mentorshipheld by faculty mentees and mentors. Comparisons across mentors and mentees providedinsights into existing alignments and misalignments regarding interpretations of effectivementorship [4], [6].A subset of engineering faculty interviewed for this project stood out as unique from otherparticipants because their perceptions of mentorship were fraught with uncertainty and/orinconsistencies despite being actively engaged in mentor-like support relationships with others.In these discrepant

engineers, students will be comforted to know they can achieve success inengineering and be prepared for the issues they will face in the field. By including social contextfor engineering design, the next generation of engineers will create socially conscious designs andfight for equity in their future careers. This inclusion of social context should be in the forms ofcase studies, debates, or role play, capstone projects rather than just historical examples, whichwill teach students how to critically think about such issues and consider ways in which largersocial structures serve to empower or disenfranchise people. Furthermore, education shouldinclude inclusivity training to discuss issues of equality and inclusion, including gender equity inthe

engineering education (EE) have played a significant role in thedevelopment of countries before, during, and since colonization [1]. Lucena & Schneider [1]remind us that while economic and political conditions may have differed across countries,engineers' primary goal during colonization was to transform nature into infrastructure to becontrolled, get a return on investments, and demonstrate superiority over indigenoustechnology. Across different colonizing powers, engineers filled a role in service to thecolonial project. Over time, as colonies became independent countries, engineering was - andstill is - considered an essential tool for helping these “traditional” societies on the path todevelopment [1]. In addition to engineering, formal
remind them that these objectives tie directly to whatyou will ask them to do on exams and projects and will drive how you weigh things in yourgrading rubrics. By doing this, you clarify to students why they are doing what they are doingand what to study. For example, when they ask, ‘What will be on this exam?’ you can say, ‘Thisexam will test you on objectives 4, 5, and 6.’ Using objectives as a study guide to studentsincreases the probability that students will learn the objectives[10]. Through this practice, youare not only clarifying how students prioritize their time for your course, but you are alsosimplifying and focusing your work in creating the assessments and activities. In addition, clearobjectives allow you to describe “intended
