how team dynamics affect undergraduate women’s confidence levels in engineering.Dr. Malinda S. Zarske, University of Colorado, Boulder Malinda Zarske is a faculty member with the Engineering Plus program at the University of Colorado Boulder. She teaches undergraduate product design and core courses through Engineering Plus as well as STEM education courses for pre-service teachers through the CU Teach Engineering program. Her primary research interests include the impacts of project-based service-learning on student identity - es- pecially women and nontraditional demographic groups in engineering - as well as pathways and retention to and through K-12 and undergraduate engineering, teacher education, and

become reflective engineers who usetheir phronesis to take conflicts and dilemmas more seriously in order to meet the ultimate goalof engineering: to find ways to make the world a better place.Reflection in Engineering Education Literature Various forms of reflection have surely been practiced and promoted by engineeringeducators around the world for centuries. However, considering that “engineering educationresearch (EER) generally lacked definition as a discipline until the late 1990s and early 2000s”(Johri & Olds, 2014) relevant literature on graduate-level engineering education prior to the1990’s can be difficult to find. This review will focus primarily on literature of the past decadebecause it is both more readily available

STEM topics, Very few are more familiar with LEGOs and robotics and so it was very new to them… you know low socioeconomic[s]... It's not surprising because they do not have that type of exposure and so it's really important and I think was fascinating for them to have that exposure to see what STEM is all about and they seem to really enjoy it.It appears taken for granted that Jill’s and Bob’s students are familiar with LEGOs, and someeven Mindstorms. In contrast, Deborah’s consideration of the social and economic inequities thather students face does not allow her to make such assumptions.Teachers found the STEM connections educationally important in and of themselves, but alsoarticulated hopes that they inspire

Using this method, I created discussion notes for all technicalsessions. Each set of notes begins with a brief synopsis of the general theme(s) of that session.Most of the content of the notes is questions posed by the papers and discussion that might be thesubject of further research in the broad range of areas addressed within LEES scholarship.

and what response they receivedfrom their audience(s).The student writing projects were analyzed using discourse analysis 12 and multimodal analysis30,31 in order to examine how the students enacted positions through roles and relationships visa vithe reader, and the extent to which they were successful in their positioning (RQ1).We considered criteria for successful positioning in multiple ways. First, we asked ourselveswhether the authors actually positioned themselves as engineering researchers or engineers -what were the strategies they use, and did they appropriately signal membership in thatcommunity. For instance, scientists are expected to use the language of uncertainty and to avoidoverstating their claims when discussing the

learning approaches with ever-changing research-based and technologically instrumented means, transferring control over education from teachers to mangers of the bureaucracy.Therefore, engineering education is considered as a system that can be studied, controlled,optimized, and assessed. A classic example in this regard is the “pipeline” metaphor [10] that hasbeen widely used in the United States to understand and tackle the systematic challenges withretaining engineering students and recruiting underrepresented populations. Nearly allengineering education graduate programs in the United States are in engineering colleges,schools, or departments.

communication and management acumen (e.g., technicalwriting, technical presentations, and project management). Such an approach is essential topreparing future engineers for the workplace [1]. The challenge becomes providing studentswith effective exposure to both kinds of skills within engineering programs.Traditionally, the development of such skills has been a matter of content-specific courseworkintegrated into a school’s engineering program(s). (A classic example is the technical writingcourse often offer by English or communication departments and required of engineeringundergraduates.) As institutional resources shrink and student demand increases, the need tofind alternative methods for offering training in these “soft-skill” areas grows
