problems to solve, defining the problem space, making design decisions toprioritize certain technical features over others, etc. - are always shaped by cultural norms. Theengineers' social and political beliefs are always reflected in their practices and their work [16],[17]. Engineering as a heterogeneous practice should be aware of its entangled social justiceissues and work with the communities when creating designs [11], [18], [19].Engineering education is moving towards perceiving engineering as a sociotechnical field notonly because of the shifting ideology described above but also because the movement can betterengage students’ identities, hence broadening participation in engineering [8], [20].

The end of both design projects reserved one day to focus on EMand asked them to reflect on questions they had about engineering, to create a concept map as agroup about EM, and to identify the value they had created for stakeholders in their projects. In2021-2022, this was the first introduction to EM for both projects and was designed as areflection. In 2022-2023, it was the first introduction to EM for the robot project, but theresearch-based project had heavily focused on EM and value creation throughout the semester.Student workload across the design projects was reduced in 2022-2023 compared to the yearprior. For example, students were given additional time to brainstorm their designs and createthem, reducing the overall number of

dropin post-course evaluation scores (Tab. 1; ‘21). Post-course evaluations revealed significant issues withthe design of the new MBL approach. Reflecting on the student feedback led to the establishment of aset of best practices that could improve the development and delivery of future MBL assessments.Redesigning the MBL assessment following these principles resulted improved post-course evaluationsduring the 2022 and 2023 offerings of MD1 (Tab. 1; ’22-‘23).The best practices used to improve the MBL approach for MD1 are briefly summarized below:Best Practice 1: Each mastery skill should only evaluate one well-defined skillIt is recommended that skills requiring complex multistep solutions are broken into separate skills.

large mid-Atlantic institution. As described at 2023 ASEE Annual Meeting, we spentthe past few years increasing the response rate to the end-of-course survey and aim in the longerterm to increase the proportion of students who self-report their attainment of the course learningobjectives as either “Good” or “Excellent.” After reflecting upon these results and learning lessonsfrom previous course offerings, we are now introducing strategies to increase student engagementfurther and attain department metrics for the course. Starting in Fall 2023, 13 activities wereintroduced to improve the course. The activities can be grouped into three categories: (A)Demonstrating the worth of the course to the students; (B) Making class fun; and (C

paper is meant to provide adetailed account of the perceptions of five students in one course.Another limitation of this work is that terms such as “sense of community” and “trust” were notdefined for students, so their responses to the focus group questions reflect their ownunderstanding of what these terms mean. In future iterations of this work, we could ask studentsquestions such as: In your view, what does it look like to have a classroom community? Is havinga sense of community important to you in your graduate courses? Why or why not?It could also be helpful to explain to the students the purpose of the focus group beforehand.Students seemed to be expecting to give feedback in a manner similar to a course evaluation andanswer questions

three themes related to advisor-advisee communication: Mutual Trust, ClearExpectations, and Delivery of Feedback.Mutual TrustWhen asked if they would share information about their neurodiversity-related experiences,strengths, and challenges with their advisor, most participants expressed some hesitation aboutdoing so, suggesting that students may not have the necessary trust in their advisor-adviseerelationship to facilitate these types of discussions. Wendy, who later on in her programdeveloped open communication with her advisor about neurodiversity, reflected on her earlyperception that she was not safe discussing her experiences with ADHD, saying: I think it would be something that might be helpful to share with my advisor

This experiential learning model enables themto solidify knowledge through real-world problem-solving. This sentiment is reflected in thestatement from interviewee 1: “The student connects the content given with a real problem that can be encountered in everyday life, which helps in the construction and retention of knowledge.” [interviewee 1] Also, in the statement of interviewee 5, there is: “The student himself will identify

In the survey after each simulated industry experience,students were asked to briefly reflect on the activity by sharing things like what they learnedfrom the activity, how this activity challenged them to think like an engineer in industry, or whatcould be improved about the activity.

. It represents a behavioral aspect of well-being and has beenrecognized as a significant predictor of various learning behaviors and achievement outcomes[11, 12]. According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.

Though the student grade is more of a representation of thecognitive domain, it is a good measure of the student engagement level and, when compared to grades inother assignments, reflects the impact of the gamified problem on their learning.In order to separate the assessment of the data (including coding of the reports) from the evaluation ofgrades, the authors split these responsibilities.
