students’perception of engineering as especially important in biomedical engineering because it is both heavilyinterdisciplinary and heavily human focused [9,10]. In biomedical engineering, content traditionallyseen as mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering is merged into novel curricula that are human-focused, creating conditions where biomedical engineering students may develop a differentunderstanding than students from other engineering majors.The purpose of this paper is a preliminary analysis of students’ reflections on the epistemologicalboundaries of engineering. We want to understand the boundaries that students establish regardingengineering and the way in which they articulate those boundaries. As an initial step towards that goal

Personal agency is a capability that every individual holds; it is described by Bandura asan individual’s beliefs about their capabilities to exercise control over events that affect their livesthrough purposeful and reflective actions. Agentic actions allow students to explore, maneuverand impact their environment for the achievement of a goal or set of goals. This study identifieshow cognitive processes of forethought, intention, reactivity, and reflection shape a students’agentic behavior and together influence first-generation college students’ goal of making adifference in their community through their engineering degree.Data for this study came from a large-scale

Theoretical Foundations based in Writing to LearnLearning to program is a complex process that could benefit from Writing to Learn (WTL)strategies. The struggles of novice programmers is well documented [1]. A commonly citedfactor is “fragile knowledge,” which is knowledge that is incomplete and superficial [2].Students who effectively employ metacognitive strategies, such as reflection and self-assessment, are more likely to master the problem solving skills that are essential toprogramming

reflection on their learning accessed their feedback more often thanthose who do not [6]. So it is hypothesized that students who do reflections will score higher onproposed factor 2 (timely review of feedback) than those that do not. Of the 1213 students, 226were enrolled in sections of the course that used structure-reflection [6]; 874 were enrolled insections that did no or minimal (e.g., minute paper) reflection. To test the hypothesis that thescores obtained for factors associated with timely review of feedback were higher for sectionsthat did reflection than those that did no or minimal reflection, a Kruskal-Wallis test and aWilcoxon Rank test were used. These two non-parametric tests were chosen over the parametrict-test due to the Likert

Although qualitativeresearchers often conduct phenomenography collaboratively, most often a single individual leadsthe data collection and analysis; others primarily serve as critical reviewers. However, qualitymay be enhanced by involving collaborators as data analysts in “sustained cycles of scrutiny, de-bate and testing against the data” [1, p. 88], thus interweaving unique perspectives and insightsthroughout the analysis process. Nonetheless, collaborating in this intensive data analysis processalso presents unique challenges.

A series of three workshops were conducted in 2018 byvisiting educators engaged in engineering education at both two and four-year HSIs. Before,during, and after the workshop series, attendees were asked to reflect on three guidingeducational philosophies: intrinsic motivation, students as empowered agents, and designthinking. Thirty-six engineering educators from thirteen HSIs from across the Southern UnitedStates participated in one of two, two-day workshops where attendees prototyped examples ofhow they would implement these philosophies at their home institution.

However, thefield of engineering has not yet established a clear idea of what “disciplinary engagement”means.Engineering at its core is about creating solutions to problems using mathematics, science, andcreativity through a design process. The engineering curriculum reflects this by containingdifferent types of courses that teach the mathematical models of natural phenomena (i.e.engineering science courses, or technical core courses), laboratory and experimental techniquesand processes (i.e. lab courses), and fundamentals of engineering design (i.e. design courses).These courses all ask students to engage disciplinarily in different ways, all in support of theoverall practice of engineering to create new solutions.

, soteaching staff are dealing with larger workload [6], [8]. Consequently, they spend less timereflecting about curriculum and teaching practices [9], [10], and they resist to fulfillingadditional assessment requirements at a program level [4]. Besides lacking opportunities to reflect, most faculty lack opportunities to collectand analyze meaningful learning data due to the complexity of assessing student learningoutcomes on a program level [11]. To deal with this challenging but essential task,teaching staff rely on both quantitative (e.g., quiz results, test scores, mid-term students’satisfaction and end-of term evaluations) and qualitative data (e.g., open-ended responsesto end of term comments from students and colleagues) to identify

To be effectiveproblem-solvers, however, students must learn to construct accurate and appropriateunderstandings and knowledge about the relationships between task characteristics (i.e., purpose,structure, and components of tasks) and associated processing demands. This personalknowledge about the problem-solving task at hand is known as metacognitive knowledge abouttask (MKT) [13].
