modified so as to reflect a corrected understanding ofthe concept. In-line corrections are preferred, which usually requires the student to space theiroriginal work out appropriately, and neatness is rewarded. If the original submission is almostcompletely worked, the “correction” largely becomes an aided rework of the problem. At thispoint, copying of the solution is possible, but discouraged. In such a situation, the student wouldget a very low grade on the original submission and then get a very high grade on the “corrections”portion of their submission. Given the weighting between each assignment, the overall grade isstill failing. In either case, the first part of the grading is to assign a score to the correctionsthemselves based on how

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

These self-meanings can be based in beliefs about one’s personalor individual characteristics (e.g., I can learn new things quickly), one’s role in relation to others in agroup (e.g., I am a problem solver, organizer, leader), and one’s membership in broad social groups orcategories (e.g., I am a black, female, graduate student).

CATME has been widely used in engineeringeducation across a range of disciplines and levels of students, with use at over 1000 institutionsby nearly 6000 instructors and over 300,000 students (https://info.catme.org/about/our-user-base/).It is important to understand the extent to which peer ratings may be influenced by unconsciousor implicit bias [8].

The students were prompted to do individual reflections as well as teamed reflectionswhere they discussed differences of opinion regarding various items. Afterwards they returned toanswer some follow up qualitative and quantitative questions. This paper takes this data andinvestigates if there are any connections between what students reported and the 17 items whichwere identified as problematic during the PCFA. Results from the qualitative data supportedseveral of the outcomes from the PCFA while providing fewer insights regarding other items.Overall, it

However, the stump of the client was not aligned axially and render the prosthesis ineffective in walking straight. A universal joint compensator that could readjust the alignment of the stump/leg vertically was necessary and, therefore, an extra year was added to complete the project.The lessons learned from the service-oriented project reflects what others reported [20]-[23] thatengineer students need to interpret non-technical needs from client into technical constraints forthe
