linkage between engineering writing and disciplinary discourse with other mechanisms ofengineering graduate socialization, such as identity formation, socialization, persistence, anddesire to pursue academic careers. This study is designed as an embedded exploratory mixedmethods study of current graduate engineering students and recent non-completers that seek toanswer the following research questions: 1. How do graduate students at various stages in their PhD programs in engineering perceive the role of academic writing as it relates to academic socialization and success in future academic careers? 2. How are these perceptions different or similar for graduate students who are considering leaving or have left their

Learning can be categorized into several distinct modes of engagement includinginteractive (I), constructive (C), and active (A) learning, as well as passive (P) learning accordingto Chi’s ICAP hypothesis [4]. The ICAP hypothesis suggests that interactive engagement, whichencourages students to interact with their peers or technology in a constructive, discussion-basedmanner, results in the largest learning gains, though all active modes of learning lead toimproved student performance compared to passive learning [1, 4].

machine learning, the creation of content at the overlapof these two areas offers several opportunities for education and research. Machine learning [1]promises to solve several problems in solar energy generation including a) fault detection [2,3,4,5],b) shading prediction [6], and c) topology optimization [7,8,9]. Preparing students early in their plansof study to tackle these problems requires: a) training in machine learning, b) exposition to solarenergy systems simulation [10], c) skill building in terms of developing or using software to integratemachine learning to obtain solar system analytics and control the overall system [11]. In this paper, we describe an educational program developed to bring to undergraduate classes[12,13] select
American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 WORK IN PROGRESS: Understanding pre-service teacher beliefs aboutvaccination using and modifying group-based computational simulationsIntroductionThe Texas Department of State Health Services reported 56,738 kindergarten through 12thgrade students entered the 2017-2018 school year having been unvaccinated for non-medicalreasons [1]. These children have parents who file for a conscientious exemption to vaccines orare more colloquially known “anti-vaxxers.” [2]. While this figure only represents 1.07% of thestudent body of Texas, a closer analysis shows the heterogenous composition of unvaccinatedstudents in schools.

need for greater emphasis on leadership in engineeringeducation, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),through its Engineering Accreditation Commission, updated its accreditationcriteria for student outcomes in 2017 [1]. ABET shifted from simply stating theneed for engineers to “function on multidisciplinary teams” to a more detailedcriterion, which identifies specific aspects of leadership, including “an ability tofunction effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, createa collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” [1].

Withthis understanding, we hope that they would pursue other opportunities to sharpen theircommunication skills.IntroductionThe three pillars of communication are considered to be one of the important professional skillsin engineering practice [1]. They are reported to be even more important than technical skills [2].Graphical communication, one of the pillars that is unique to the engineering practice, coverstechnical requirements of drawing and visual skills. Most students have shown to struggle inpresenting and understanding, graphically, ideas that require high visualization skills [3
methods.Procedure At Miami University, The author did not provide the students with a questionnaire to fillout. The rationale being that ‘students are exhausted in filling out forms.’ Some researchersare of the opinion: ‘questionnaire-fatigue’ will result in skewed data that may lead to faultyconclusions. Therefore the assessment data was collected in an indirect manner. The author delivered four content materials in four different modes.Topic 1 was delivered in the traditional Lecture Format. (Aural)Topic 2 utilized Power Point Slides and other Visual Aids. (Visual)Topic 3 was left for the students to read, write and submit their findings.

While these themes were commonacross the studies included in the analysis, the way the themes manifested across data sets raisesinteresting questions about the formation of engineers and the socialization experiences thatcontribute to that formation. As research on engineering practice continues to develop, it isimportant that researchers consider where engineers are within their career trajectory and howthat influences their perceptions about the work they do and the agency they have withinorganizations.Introduction and BackgroundWhat constitutes engineering practice is constantly changing and revised as engineeringproblems become more complex and multidisciplinary, and the scale on which engineeringproblems are solved increases [1
