It was administered to all employees in 2022 and had a response rate of about 43% (665people) among the faculty population of interest. The survey was intended to measure employeeengagement and well-being, employee experiences and opinions regarding diversity, equity, andinclusion (DEI) at Mason, and flexible/remote work. Each of these variables was assessed viamultiple Likert-scale questions. The set of questions assessing employee engagement is

By acquiring multiple sources of information about the sameevent occurring in a social setting, researchers can integrate and triangulate these data, enhancingthe analysis’ depth and accuracy. Therefore, in this research project, the researcher engaged inextensive first-hand observation in classroom settings throughout the semester, collectedstudents’ written responses reflecting their class, and conducted open-ended interviews designedto validate our findings with students’ perspectives. Second, investigations of instructors’ pedagogical practices in naturalistic settings, versusin a laboratory or through lab-based experiments, can yield different findings (Le Compte &Goetz, 1982). Indeed, identifying instructor’s
throughout the interviews.The general goal of the project was described to participants at the beginning of the interview asfollows: “The purpose of the research is to gain insight into how instructors in higher educationmake instructional design decisions, such as whether and how to incorporate research-basedpedagogical innovations. We are particularly interested in how instructors’ environments,including department culture, university policies, resources, etc., contribute to those decisions,which in turn affect students.” At the end of each interview, the interviewer asked participants ifthey had any other comments that might be useful for the project.Transcription was performed using Microsoft Word, and qualitative coding was performed
within engineering [6]. However, the theoretical grounding ofthe concept, and its relationship to other ways of teaching and practicing engineering ethicsor design, is not discussed within the TSPP itself, nor in its related materials.The authors of this paper are members of a cross-institutional research team studying theeffects of the TSPP on students’ understandings of engineering responsibility [1]. As webegan our project in January 2023, the multiple meanings of “tech stewardship” – and of“stewardship” itself – became apparent. We noticed the word “stewardship” in diversecontexts, including in scholarly literature, on the news, and on our garbage and recyclingbins. We spent team meetings discussing the relationship between the “tech

To avoid potential order effects, the order of the items inthe actual survey was randomized such that recognition, interest, and competence items areinterspersed with one another rather than occurring sequentially. However, the items are groupedtogether in Table 1 below for greater clarity.As discussed above, the complementary work of Perkins et al.2 used a different approach toadapting Godwin’s scales,1 including the generation and testing of several new items.

The microcosm of the college campus can be challenging for students, where some areleaving the familiarity of home and family to join spaces where they can be isolated. Prior researchsuggests that being socially connected can help to alleviate stress (Achat et al., 1998). Research alsoshows that minoritized student populations experience more barriers to persistence in STEM highereducation compared to white students and certain Asian populations due to the added stress of racismfaced by these populations (Harper, 2010; Pawley, 2019). Racial stress can manifest due to phenomenalike isolation, stereotype threat and microaggressions at

This e-portfolio includes but is not limited to undergraduate research, projects, and high-impact experiences that can be leveraged to pursue future academic and professional careers. ombining e-portfolios with an interdisciplinary approach to education scenarios allows us toCperform the analysis of our cohort's growth in varied ways. Previous cohorts were tasked with the performance of a pre-and post-program survey as well as a traditional reflection essay[2]. Extrapolating on that idea and the engineers' inherent drive for innovation, in this 2023 cohort we elevated the research design by adding concept maps to assess student
perceptions.Exploration of NetworkingIt is helpful to address the nature of networking and its significance to engineering students andpracticing engineers. While this paper focuses on strategic or professional networking, there are twoother types: personal and operational [6]. Personal networking includes our circle of family, friends,and those associated with personal interests. Operational networking is practiced as part of one’s work.A student’s operational network consists of faculty, staff, and other students, and related individuals,e.g., a company sponsor for the senior design project. Unless otherwise noted, we use the termnetworking to mean strategic, career, or professional networking.Very little has been published in the areas of preparing
learning objectives rather than accumulating points to earn a grade.Standards-based grading has been implemented in engineering courses, such as mechanics ofmaterials [19], fluid mechanics [20], thermodynamics [21], and project-based design courses [22].Specifications grading has also been implemented in various engineering courses. For example,three case studies of implementing specifications grading to demonstrate how it can be used indifferent types and levels of engineering courses are presented in [23]. Other descriptions ofspecifications grading in engineering include courses on thermodynamics [24, 25], bioelectricity[26], general and engineering physics [27], fluid mechanics [28], system modeling [29], andcapstone design [30].Benefits, best

Eighty to 90 percent of engineeringstudents each semester indicate that at the end of project scope, once design has begun, externalconsiderations are no longer incorporated into the technical development process. In other words,students are taught to believe that once they begin the design process, they must follow aprescribed engineering route that leads to a deterministic outcome. This lack of

considering the Peer Reviews feature, one has to consider when peer review is mostcommonly used in engineering courses. Peer review, if it is employed by instructors, tends to beused in conjunction with project work, particularly design work, though it can be applied tomany other types of student work and with learning benefits [23]. Project work in the curriculumunder study tended to occur in senior-level courses. So, it is not surprising that Peer Reviewswere not used in the second- and third-year courses considered in this study, as they focused onengineering science topics with more traditional homework and exam course elements [24].When considering Rubrics and Outcomes, each of these features demands instructors have bothadvanced pedagogical

Inboth questions, students were asked to select their top three from the list of thirteen lab learningoutcomes, and the percentage of respondents that chose each learning outcome was quantified.In terms of self-reported weaknesses (Figure 4), over 40% of students selected “Designprototype” and “Compare to theory” as their greatest weaknesses. “Design experiment” and“Troubleshoot” were also

To determine the effect agency has onstudents, we explore how different aspects of laboratory experiments contribute to students’development through a survey used to measure consequential agency as well as engineeringidentity, relevance, and persistence intentions.The goal of the project is to extend theory about agency in learning and the development ofprofessional identity in upper division chemical engineering laboratory courses. Specifically, weinvestigate how agency in four domains—(1) experimental design prior to doing the laboratoryexperiment; (2) data collection and
considered on their own, many of the changes seen here match expectations of the course faculty. (1) Teamwork is a large portion of the first-year engineering sequence with required team projects in both semesters. This is less emphasized in CBE 20255; therefore, it is unsurprising for that to be less emphasized in student response post-course. (2) Resilience rises in mentions in the study group while falling in the control group. In the study group, resilience and persistence were common themes of class lectures and office hours. This was a deliberate inclusion when students struggled, especially around large assessments. Therefore, class instruction can be linked to this
