The research presents a review of the literature including the (1) study context,(2) study methods, (3) study objectives, (4) microaggressions outcomes and (5) microaggressionstypes using data from 45 journal articles. Data analysis included coding of the journal articles toidentify major themes representing different forms of microaggressions. The current results showthat the research studying microaggressions using an intersectional lens is limited. This researchcontributes to improved understanding regarding microaggressions by identifying the gaps withinexisting literature on microaggressions. Practically, this research increases the visibility of subtlenegative behaviors that engineering

The program consisted of threeworkshops, a series of informal coffee hour conversations, and two deliverables from theparticipants. Workshop 1 consisted of an overview of the ISE-2 program and an introduction tosocial cognitive biases. Workshop 2 focused on how students learn, provided evidence for theeffectiveness of active learning strategies, and exposed participants to these strategies.

Engineering Education, 2019 Critical Thinking Skills in First Year Non-Calculus Ready StudentsIntroductionCritical thinking is defined as self-reflective thinking[1]. Critical thinking requires the use ofcertain skills and disposition to evaluate thoughts and ideas with the purpose of refining them [2,3]. Critical thinking involves an in depth evaluation of events, problems, ideas, and artifactsbefore accepting or framing a conclusion or opinion [4]. Engineers are trained to becomeproblem solvers and critical thinking is essential for problem solving. Many educators believethat critical thinking skills are important and should be promoted in schools and universities, butthey feel unequipped to teach those skills[5, 6].The purpose of this

On many college campuses, makerspaces have become a hub ofcreativity and innovation. Those working in these spaces may gain skills crucial for developingengineers.Creative design, prototyping, building, and communicating ideas are important skills to fosterwithin students in engineering. Makerspaces are an ideal place for students to develop theaforementioned skills and more. Universities usually have machine shops for making parts forprojects and prototypes, but the shops are run by professionals, and extensive training is requiredfor students to use equipment themselves [1].

In contrast to the absence of engineering leadership in this report,engineering leaders will be key to creating a successful STEM ecosystem due to their uniqueability to coordinate interdisciplinary efforts to solve complex challenges associated with anincreasingly interconnected world. Thus, it is key that engineering undergraduate studentsreceive management or leadership training and build identities that align with leadership.

Project-based learning works to emulate professional behavior, in this case of the engineer, allowing forstudents to apply knowledge in a manner that could be transferred to a professional setting [3].Project based learning has been shown to bring about increased motivation and positive attitudesfrom students as well as a perception that course objectives are being met [3-4].

Prior research indicates that most undergraduate students who enter into anengineering major in the United States will not ultimately obtain a degree in engineering [2]. Ithas been suggested that many do not persist in engineering through to graduation due to a lack ofability, motivation, or interest, but there is evidence to suggest that other factors offer superiorexplanations for why individuals leave engineering [3]. Engineering identity, the degree to whichengineering is central to a student’s self-concept, has been found to explain retention-relatedoutcomes better than a lack of interest or ability

These courses, particularly those that must serve a diversepopulation of students outside of computer science, are difficult to design and presenttremendous challenges for the students who take them. For example, many novices hold mentalmodels that are not compatible with learning to program [1]. These challenges have led to abroad range of instructional innovation, many of which are focused on problem solving as acentral mechanism for developing computer science knowledge and expertise.

Thus, broadening participation in engineering fromunderrepresented groups is a critical priority. To address this need, this project focuses oneconomically disadvantaged rural students. Given the unique geographic and cultural factors thatimpact rural students’ career choices, it is critical to study choice in context [1, 2]. In ruralcommunities, students career choices are heavily influenced by the people and values of the localcommunity; family, teachers, and friends, in particular, often played a key role

Since then, thegrant has been funded twice more; the current award period started in 2017 and will run until2021. As a requirement for the SEECS program, all students must participate in a community-based design project, undertaken for a non-profit entity in the local region.

Intheir seminal work, Chickering and Gamson assert, “Learning is not a spectator sport. Studentsdo not learn much just by sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing pre-packagedassignments, and spitting out answers” (1, p. 4). In that regard, the vast majority of engineeringdynamics courses do not typically include opportunities that allow for observation andinvestigation of the Newtonian mechanics derived and studied in class, which is understandablegiven the financial and logistical difficulties associated with creating
