AerospaceAbstractIncreasing the number and diversity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates is important to our country’s continued economic growth and is an area ofnational interest as this need continues to rise. In addition to the number of STEM graduates isthe need for graduates to work effectively on teams. Diversity within engineering groups has beenshown to positively impact a team’s body of knowledge on a given topic, as well as improve thatgroup’s creativity, ethical decision-making, and ability to function as a cohesive unit. Aerospaceengineering is unique in that traditional methods of attracting more students from diversebackgrounds have been less effective than in other STEM fields, and average percentages forminority

Byusing the algebraic formulation of CAP, students can begin and advance in engineering studywhile they work toward learning Calculus. This will allow students to progress toward theirdegree while strengthening their mathematics abilities.In contrast, advancing in a typical Engineering curriculum requires the student to enroll inCalculus, because MOST Engineering courses contain SOME content that uses Calculus [3].Some courses require no calculus like Graphics and Professionalism Ethics courses butexceptions are few. This means a matriculate ill prepared to study Calculus must catch up onmathematics BEFORE starting

Studies havebeen conducted on the benefits of informal learning settings, but there are few studies on how thephysical space itself can support the informal learning process. Research surrounding learningspaces in libraries has emphasized use of collaboration and flexible spaces, but these studieshave been conducted to inform space design decisions

],worldview, ethical considerations, researcher bias [6], validity threats [6], and research quality[7] all broach on the complex underpinnings of positionality for engineering education research.However, the primary difference that appears is the consideration of the actual personal rootsthat a researcher has for the type of research conducted and its “quality”, and the peoplesresearched. Beyond initial considerations, this rooting of thought in relation to another’s lifeexperience surpasses reflexivity, which can be confused as being bound to the beginning and endof a study. The consideration of the rooting and internal exploration that exists in positionality isa continual consideration that spans beyond the work of research studies to explore a

In the latest revision of student outcomes foraccreditation (2019-2020), ABET changed Outcome F from “an understanding of professionaland ethical responsibility” to Outcome 4, which specifically adds on that these responsibilitiesmust “consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context.” [9]. This change in accreditation criteria has been a strong motivator for allengineering programs to include broader contextualization in their curricula.

Thelarge private university in Colombia through its Center for Excellence in Teaching (CEDU) hasdeveloped a generic research protocol, approved by the university ethics committee, intended toguide researchers in the treatment and use of information coming from human subjects. At thesmall comprehensive university in the USA, a similar protocol exists and procedures for dealingwith human subjects and research involving them is clearly defined. At both institutions,students will be made aware about the research taking place and the treatment of the dataobtained from them

Students who wereviolating the ethical rules were informed and any post was immediately removed. We observedlittle student activity on the site during the first half of the semester. During this lightly usedtime, the class took two major exams. After the second major exam the students wereencouraged to use the platform by giving them a very minor grade incentive in the form of extracredit. This incentive caused some students to begin using the software very significantly.During this incentive period, the class was given another two major exams. Data
