The Effect of Male to Female Ratios on Female Students in Engineering and Technical Science Majors Ioana Tiu, Koenraad Gieskes Binghamton University, itiu1@binghamton.eduAbstractAccording to an article written by fictiv corporation, 16.1% of employed persons in architecture andengineering positions in the US in 2022 consists of women. This study examines perceptions of male andfemale students in engineering classes particularly focusing on the impact of the female-to-male ratio onfemale students. The study presents survey results shedding light on the students’ perceptions within groupsettings. By exploring these dynamics, the
. Sketch-noting is a closely related art form that also combines visual andverbal elements. Sketch notes often make use of simple illustrations in conjunction with simplewords, making them easy to create. The downside is that sketch notes lack the storytelling aspectof comics, making them less ideal for communicating ideas to people not involved in the creationprocess. Inspired by the art of comics and sketch-noting, we have developed the Visual VerbalIntegrated (VIVID) Storytelling pedagogy for engineering education. VIVID Storytelling makesuse of simple visuals and simple words in line with sketch-noting but adds a strong narrativeelement in the fashion of comics (Zhuang et. al, 2022).In the context of engineering education, we have applied
students’ program managementskills. Also, students can examine team dynamics [10,11] and their personal leadership style inthe reflections, encouraging them to directly focus on their interpersonal skills andcommunication. Indirectly, reflection on the design project itself encourages students toreexamine the problem, to find more creative solutions and broaden their thinking. Thoughreflection can indirectly support numerous learning outcomes, a 2022 study of over 3,000 first-year students engaged in reflection suggested that reflections with “limited number of purposesor clear learning goals” will have better outcomes, supporting earlier research by Aronson [5,12].Thus, design instructors are encouraged to target particular learning outcomes for
changes we must make to address these barriers.Guided by the the k2i academy Inclusive Design Framework (Reference Figure 1) (Cole,Goodyer, & Ironside, 2022), the Bringing STEM to Life: Work-Integrated Learning programwas designed to integrate inclusive approaches to both programmatic and operational designthat supports high school students who have opted out of STEM pathways. Over the past fouryears, this program has evolved over 5 iterations to the current model. The program wasintentionally designed to address critical system barriers to access and enable students whohave otherwise opted out of STEM career pathways to reconnect into future possibilities.This paper seeks to provide an overview of the design of the program and explore the
adapt for selected courses, based on a standards integration project in 2022 [18]. Theeffectiveness of the curricular interventions was assessed by gathering verbal and writtenfeedback from instructors both at the curriculum design and module development phase and atthe implementation phase. Student feedback through course feedback surveys was alsoconsidered. This served as a formative assessment. Summative assessments were gathered fromstudents taking the courses by evaluating their performance on the module assessment pieces,such as group project assignments or exam questions.Data triangulation is employed to enhance the validity and reliability of findings, cross-referencing insights from multiple data sources, including surveys, informal
Impact of lecture recordings in a post-COVID environment Ji Ye Janet Lam, University of Toronto1 IntroductionThe recording of lectures that are given during in-person teaching of on-campus courses has beena growing topic of study since before the COVID-19 pandemic [1]–[3]. The explosion in onlinelearning and increased digitalization of teaching is clear to anyone involved in education through2020–2022. In response to the sudden need for online learning, many (if not most) post-secondaryinstitutions invested in online educational technology [4], [5].As post-secondary institutions returned to in-person learning, the option to attend class virtuallyremained an option for some institutions [6], [7
EngineeringSuccess Centre, a faculty-funded support program for engineering students that employs a co-leadership model [2].During the first year, 2021–2022, three students co-led the program. One student leadercommunicated with student participants, organized registration, and booked rooms. Adhering tothe mentorship model inherent in the Engineering Success Centre, one student instructor whohad his CSWA certification co-taught with a second student leader who earned his certificationduring the first weeks of the course. This team continued into the second year. After two of thestudent leaders graduated, the remaining student instructor taught a third year of the programwhile mentoring and co-teaching with a student who received his certification the
process, and then reading theconclusion to see if that article informs our research. We must resist the urge to followinteresting branches from the main topic in these exclusion and inclusion criteria to help theresearcher stay focused.Bork and Mondisa’s 2022 article presents a practical five-stage approach where the outcomes ofeach stage provide a scoping literature review [16]. The stages are inclusion and exclusioncriteria; a reduced batch of references for study from the eligible references, and then literaturedata for analysis. The last outcome is to identify current literature trends and potential researchgaps that will be written about [16].

individuals who identified as women and those who identifiedas men were interviewed, and participants represented both research and course based degreesand various levels of study. Students were recruited by departmental emails sent from theirengineering faculty and were given a $30- gift card to compensate them for their participation.Data collection activities during this study were approved by Ethic Review Boards at theUniversity of Toronto and the two universities where the case studies were conducted.Interviews were semi-structured in nature and took approximately 60 minutes to complete. Asinterviews were conducted in 2022, COVID public health restrictions mandated that allinterviews took place on Zoom. Transcripts were produced using third
