The instructorspecifically talked about the challenging issues that he faced during the implementation. “When we first received the Virtual Lab software (Spring 2018), we received the prototype version of the software. Thus, it needed some work before implementing it in the student learning environment. In Spring 2018, we had graduate student lab TAs run the prototype VL program so that we can get a proper feedback. Then, during Summer 2018, I hired one graduate student to go through all the functionality of VLs

Learning orientation describes a student’s attitude towards andmotivation for studying. It is desirable that engineering students adopt a so-called deep learningorientation, emphasizing understanding as well as reflection on the applicability of course contentand the transferability of learning experiences to professional settings 5 . The need for a focus onprofessional skills has been emphasized since the 1990s due to the preponderance of engineeringjobs being in commercial industry, where the ability to function as part of a cross

Nichols states that the culture of robotics changed between 2008 and 2018, and due tothe rapid change in technology, it will continue to change [10]. However, in the past, due to theexpense, technical challenges and programming language complexity, roboticists were veryspecialized, and the workforce reflected the very limited persistent stereotype of an engineer.This stereotype was that the majority of people who work in robotics, engineering, and computerscience are white males. Due to these challenges, women and minorities became severelyunderrepresented in

autoethnography.MethodsAutoethnography is a qualitative research method that aims to improve sociological understandingthrough drawing on personal experiences with social phenomena [7, 8, 9]. It looks at whatexisting literature says about these topics and relates it to one’s personal experiences throughrigorous self-reflection [10]. The researcher becomes the research subject. The process can besubjective and, as such, can only be properly experienced and understood by the self [7].This study originated when an informal discussion between two of the co-authors occurred aboutthe struggles female faculty face when teaching a predominantly male student population. Manyof the experiences articulated were found to be similar to those of individuals facing gender bias.Published

ethnoracial minorities remain under-represented in engineering education andpractice [22]. Despite constituting just over half (51.5%) of the US population, women compriseonly 40% of the science and engineering workforce, and just 13% of professional engineers.African-Americans, though 12.3% of the general population, are underrepresented within scienceand engineering (7.7%) [23]. Underrepresentation is a concern for both utilitarian reasons ofeconomics and prosperity [e.g. 24] and also for moral reasons: it is simply unjust for the world tobe constructed by a professional community that does not reflect the demographics of that world.Interventions and investigations over many years have identified some factors that improve theexperience and increase

This percentage may be a reflection of a lack of rolemodels as women represented only 14% of the engineering workforce in 2017 [9] and only 17%of engineering tenure-track faculty positions in 2018 [10].Another barrier for entering engineering programs is the prescriptive nature of engineeringcurricula [11].

Like structural complexity, we associate each course with ameasure that reflects its position in the overall curriculum – however, it does not appear to have aspecific name like ‘cruciality.’ The individual course instructional complexity is proxied by thepass/fail rate of the course.

The complex identity formed as individualsprogress from infancy into adulthood is represented by individual, relational, and collectivedomains (Vignoles, Schwartz, & Luyckx, 2011).
