Hence, asking them directly to understand whatthe industry needs is better. Faculty and administrators

to organize thisvaluable work by characterizing the nature and effects of the landscape of stressors experiencedby doctoral engineering students. In Year 1 of this project [21], we employed a longitudinalmixed methods study design to identify the most common and severe stressors experienced by acohort of students at one institution. Drawing from the results of this study and a review of theliterature on graduate student stressors, we developed the Stressors for Doctoral StudentsQuestionnaire for Engineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 and in spring2023. The SDSQ-E measures the severity and frequency of stressors including advisor-relatedstressors, class-taking stressors, research or laboratory stressors, campus life and

After spending countless hours researching, discussing, attending fellowships,and professional developments looking for an answer to what diversity, equity, inclusion,and belonging looked like in a high school science classroom, I found the answers weremainly theoretical. This paper sets out to describe the process by which I used thesetheories to distill a practical, strategy-based, actionable framework for secondaryscience teachers to use with concrete steps to support their classrooms in becomingspaces that support DEIB.Framework The framework I’ve developed contains 5 elements: intentional grouping,student-driven labs, project
; and 6) Socio-ecojustice. The work by Pedretti and Nazir provides a strongtheoretical framework that has significantly influenced this research study.The Application/Design Current focuses on solving problems through the design of newtechnology or the modification of existing technology, and is a strong fit for engineeringprograms, given the emphasis on engineering design in the undergraduate curriculum. ThisCurrent focuses on problem-solving skills, experiments, design-build activities and other creativeapproaches. A criticism of the Application/Design Current is that it suggests we assume thatthere is always a need for a technology; where some problems are not best addressed by atechnological fix.

, teachers must firstlearn to think in new ways about the students, content, and the teaching and learning process[23], [24], [25]. Teachers' beliefs about whether they have the knowledge, skills, and resourcesfor students to implement design challenges successfully are essential to the success of theengineering design curriculum [31].Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)Teachers’ PCK also impacts teacher practices in the classroom. PCK emphasizes three aspects:content, pedagogy, and students. It involves a focus on a specific subject matter concerningstudent learning, curriculum, and effective strategies to employ for teaching [25]. Shulman [24]defined PCK as the “blending of content (CK) and pedagogy (PK) into an understanding of howparticular

It also recognizes that interdisciplinary education can benefit student learningand is often the core at K-5 learning [11], how integration occurs and how impactful it can be onstudent learning still remains unexplored. Our research question for this study was: What doesexisting literature indicate as promising practices when integrating CS into other subjects?To answer this question, we conducted a systematic literature review using the Khan et al.methodology. Systematic literature reviews for integrating CS have also been conducted. Forexample, Rich et al. conducted a literature review in

However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative
