, little is known about the expectations of QL for engineering students asthey begin their college engineering studies. This WIP aims to share the results of usingqualitative content analysis (QCA) to identify how QL appears in first-year engineering courses.These results are the initial step in developing an instrument to measure the QL of engineeringstudents using a Student Model within the evidence-centered designed framework.IntroductionThere is broad agreement that college students need more instruction in QL, as described in [1],[2], and many other studies. Additionally, many existing instruments measure the QL for thegeneral population of collegiate students, like the Heighten QLA [3], Collegiate LearningAssessment+ [4], and the GRE

Education and Energy Engineering PracticeOver the past century of engineering education there has been a persistent debate about andcritique of the outcomes of engineering education regarding the preparation of engineers forpractice [1], [2], [3]. The focus of this critique largely centers on the tendency of engineeringeducation to emphasize the technical, rational science of engineering, while overlooking thecomplex practical, social, and behavioral interactions that comprise most of the practices ofemployed engineers [4], [5]. As the importance of the human systems of work has increased,there is increased attention paid to the practical and social practices of scientific, technology, andengineering work [6]. In addition, there are calls to

Prior to running the course, we studied the university’s Energy MasterPlan, learned about the current state of solar energy on campus, and identified four potential newsolar projects. We divided the 14 students in the class into four teams, with each team conductinga feasibility assessment for their solar project over the course of the class. Students started byexploring the solar we already have on campus. Once familiarized with the current system, weguided the students in completing their assessments of the new projects through four, two-weekphases, with each phase focusing on a different sociotechnical analysis for their project: 1) social,2) technical, 3) economic, and 4) environmental.

We alsodiscuss possible barriers to teams having epistemic negotiations.1 IntroductionThere are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and group projects. Whether working on a teamleads to innovative solutions or frustration often depends more on the dynamics among team mem-bers than the project itself. These dynamics can be especially important on interdisciplinary teamswhere individuals may have different ways of thinking about knowledge (or epistemic beliefs)because of their disciplinary backgrounds [1, 2, 3].

A 1976 study byMatousek and Schneider involving 800 cases of structural failure resulting in 504 deaths and 592injuries found that when engineers were at fault, 36% of the failures were due to insufficientknowledge on behalf of the engineers [1]. In most circumstances, this source of error should beavoidable. Students in engineering and technology are exposed to a vast range of topics in theirgiven discipline making complete mastery of all topics difficult.

: How can and should holistic engineering studentsuccess be measured? Given that very little progress in diversifying engineering at either theundergraduate or graduate levels has been accomplished in the past decade despite attention andfunding [1], we suggest that if a new way to assess success of students were to be developed, wemay be able to measure and identify where students are not thriving, and to develop more effectiveand strategic interventions. This is particularly important as students and departments alikerecover from the pandemic, which has adversely affected student well-being [2,3], retention [4],and learning [5-7] at the undergraduate and graduate levels [8,9], especially for marginalizedgroups [10-12].
