instructions on how to work in a team, it is important to helpthem learn more about themselves and explore their strengths and capabilities. To help them acquire thisinsight, students are given instructions to complete two tests: the Jung Personality Test and the Team RoleTest. Jung’s psychological typology was first published in 1923 [48], and since then several tests havebeen developed and used by human resources, career coaching, organizational development [49]. It hasalso been used in higher education as a basis for learning styles and also to shed the light on individualdifferences [48]. Jung’s typology is best known for the concepts of extroversion and introversion [50],and sensation -intuition and thinking-feeling. The test result is

It was clear that engineering professors do not have a background in or embed theseopportunities into their courses: CD indicated: I want to say it’s (entrepreneurial mindset) important, although I don’t know a lot about it. I think a lot of students are interested in it and I think it’s an important skill but it’s not something that I had when I was a student and it’s not something that I really gained (laughs) during my career in academia.It is important to note there are stand-alone courses in entrepreneurial thinking for engineeringstudents at the site. These courses were developed by the business school, and are mostly taughtby adjunct professors that are not part of

Prior work [4] has shown that some practicing engineers continue toneglect variability later in their career—the results from this study suggest that features ofengineering pedagogy may contribute to this behavior. However, future work with direct study ofpracticing engineers is necessary to fully understand their views on the relevance of variability toengineering practice.All three student participants described concrete ways in which variability seemed relevant (ornot) to engineering practice (RQ 1), and the specific experiences that influenced their views (RQ2). Prior evidence suggests that variability has not been considered relevant to certain quantitiesin engineering

The abortion ban, the affirmative action ban, I think that has a double hit on people like me who are Black and Brown and also female. We have a lot more to consider in terms of our career because of these laws and where we feel like we can stay where we’ll be emotionally, physically and psychologically safe.Jean was first drawn to the university because of their DEI admissions team.

Interleaved practice has beendemonstrated to improve student learning and retention of technical skills, though the literatureon this practice is smaller than others [5].Interleaved practice involves practicing already-learned material along with newly learnedmaterial. When all homework or quiz problems are bunched together, students expect that everyproblem must be a variant of the skill they are practicing. However, when homework or quizproblems draw from mixed material, students practice thinking through which solution methodsto use and how to apply what they know [5], [11]. Dunlosky et al. cites trials from Rohrer andTaylor (2007, 2010) that compared student performance during

Of the demographic variables, workexperience was significant for all online course impression factors except for online coursepreference [6]. In Rivers, 2021 [13], the author examined the role of personality traits and onlineacademic self-efficacy in acceptance, actual use, and achievement in online learning [13]. Thestudy defined personality as “dimensions of individual differences in tendencies to showconsistent patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions,” and to measure specific personality traits,the study used the five-factor

conocimiento [24]. I began my engineeringeducation career by studying the ways in which different ways of knowing, doing and beingimpact engineering narratives and practices, with a particular focus on dismantling dominantdiscourses that (re)produce deficit models.As a critical scholar invested in racial equity, my broad aim is to elevate these students’voices, epistemologies, and help (re)frame Latino/a/x engineering students as holders andcreators of knowledge [25-27] that should be acknowledged in our pursuit of educationalequity in engineering. My research opposes the notion that students possess inherent deficitsthat must be “fixed.” Instead, I argue that these deficit ideologies further marginalize studentsand perpetuate false models of
a group in their academic career. As such, there are elements of the project, particularly during the analysis and writing of the memo, that require more hand-holding on the part of the instructor. Teaming conflicts occasionally occur, but surprisingly, group dynamic issues have been far less prominent for this project than in the other courses that this instructor has taught. To gain some perspective on team dynamics, this instructor has a prompt at the end of the final exam asking the student how they would divide up a $1, 000 bonus for the work done on the design project amongst the members of the group. In this instructor’s experience, very few students indicate a significant deviation from an

]. Decisions under climate change are deeply uncertain, and DMDU approaches havefrequently been applied for long term planning for urban infrastructure [2]–[4]. Decision makersmust plan and take some form of adaptive action (including no action or deferred action) toaddress the impacts of climate change. These actions tend to be informed by complex modelinganalyses, and it is often difficult to communicate the modeling results as well as the advantagesand disadvantages of different actions to stakeholders and decision makers. It is equally if notmore difficult to communicate these concepts to civil and environmental engineering studentswho will be confronted with similar decisions in their future careers.
