The authorhas employed online reading quizzes as well as guided study assignments. Examples ofassignments as well as multiple measures of student perceptions of learning are presented.1.

Students areencouraged and supported in a learning process where they are directly engaged with and takeresponsibility for their own learning. The merits of active learning (as opposed to passivelylistening to a lecture) are well-documented. A meta-study by Freeman et al. (2014) examined225

Creativity, apseudo-cognitive construct, is likewise cited as a desirable trait among engineers. In previouswork we showed that a project-based design course rich in brainstorming activities resulted in asemester-long improvement in certain aspects of creativity compared to a course that wasrelatively poor in brainstorming activities [1]. Not all design courses, however, are equal in thedegree to which they are project-based. This led us to question whether overt training increativity could yield even greater improvements in creativity than are already gained in a skills-based design course.A

Therefore, the research willcontinue in subsequent years. In addition, evaluation of the design teams’ concepts byexperienced engineering design faculty indicated that the teams that participated in the creativityexercises exhibited greater innovation in their design process versus the control. Finally, studentsreported that the exercises are fun and help them expand their way of thinking to considerunexpected solutions to a diverse array of challenges.1.

Experiences within EngineeringAbstractThis theory paper continues an ongoing conversation about the use of critical theories to examinerace in engineering. Critical race theory was popularized in the 1980s for its use in legal studies[1] – and a decade later in education. Although three decades have passed since this movementof race research ignited, the engineering profession still lacks diversity. Whites are still themajority within engineering, which in turn culturally defines the field. In this setting, onepotential response from Blacks is that they hide their Black identity to blend into the dominantWhite workplace culture. To study this situation, we offer an extension to the work of WendyFaulkner and her concept of in/authenticity that women

Curiosity has alsobeen linked with workplace learning and job performance [3]. Given the short-term and long-term benefits curiosity can have on self-directed learning and job performance, it is important tobe able to identify whether students are exhibiting curiosity in the assignments that are submittedfor formative feedback.In recent years’ text mining has seen increasing focus on the investigation of sentiment [4],behavior analytics [5], linguistic understanding [6] improving product
