] proposed that students’ epistemic practice in SSI are understood through bothargumentation and informal reasoning [6], [13]. Based on an intensive literature review, Sadler [6]concluded that it is hard to assess the quality of student argumentation only by logical reasoningbecause in SSI contexts, everyday life experiences, moral and ethical beliefs, values, and cultureaffect students’ argumentation practices. Duschl also points out that student argumentation in SSIis a reasoning strategy that involves the general reasoning domain of informal logic as well ascritical thinking [10].In most recent research concerning argumentation, Toulmin’s model [14] was adopted as a usefultool to understand logical reasoning of argumentation. However, Toulmin’s

The Washington Accord Graduate AttributeProfile [13] defines 12 elements that graduates of engineering programs need: - Engineering knowledge - Problem analysis - Design/development of solutions - Investigation - Modern tool usage - The engineer and society - Environment and sustainability - Ethics - Individual and teamwork - Communication - Project management and finance - Life-long learning.While a pre-engineering undergraduate student would not be expected to master these skills tothe extent of a graduate, an

This engineeringexperience provides young students with a more holistic understanding of engineering than otherprograms by presenting a wide variety of engineering disciplines connected by sharing goals ofaddressing far-reaching societal problems. Interdisciplinary collaboration is also modeledthrough cross-program collaborations and activities. The EID program has partnered with the Humanity in a Digital World program to discussthe ethics of artificial intelligence in autonomous vehicles. The undergraduate programs atNortheastern University have a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary learning and this

Wealso qualitatively assessed the degree of reinforcement and attitude propagation within eachcohort as potential mechanisms for the enhancement or suppression of student interest on anindividual basis. This study may offer insight into the value of strategic targeting of differingstudent demographics to systemically enhance STEM performance and interest during key pointsin students’ early careers, such as the end of secondary school and during the transition to post-secondary study.Methods Ethical statementAll data collection involving students was approved by the University of Toronto HealthSciences Research Ethics Board (Protocol # 34825) and the Toronto District School BoardExternal Research Review

Her research interests are in software engineering, including software pro- cesses, software measurement, and software engineering education. She also has interests in ethical and social aspects of computing and has been active in efforts to increase the number of women in computing for many years. She has been a co-PI on nearly $1.5 million in grants from industry and the National Science Foundation.

Thesafety training (combination of online and onsite) for a total of four hours, under the guidanceand supervision of trained laboratory graduate students, allowed YSs to learn about laboratoryprocedures. During the final day of bootcamp, mentors held a formal meeting with their scholarsto discuss details, plans and expectations about the specific project.During weeks 2-6, students worked on their project daily, performing original research under thesupervision of their graduate mentor

, it allows for the solution to viewed as something realistic,usable, and practical, resulting in greater overall success [6]. As an engineer, it is important tolearn about those the project will impact to ensure that the product will meet their needs. Byasking students to consider the needs of others and providing realistic environments to practiceempathy in engineering design challenges, researchers hoped to achieve two outcomes: first,increased retention and initial registration in STEM-based classes after participating in theprogram, and second, greater overall success in designing and creating solutions.The empathy connections made in the program drew heavily from education research, includingNoddings’ ethics of care and Dweck’s growth
