Itrepresents the affiliation between retention and GPA and is not a direct correlation. The resultsalso reveal that this relationship is enhanced for

Communities of practice are “groups of people informally boundtogether by shared expertise and passion for a joint enterprise” [7]. In these communities,participants learn new skills socially in a process guided by peers and mentors and situatedwithin the context where the skills are used. The community discusses and reflects together, asbeginners grow into full participants. Faculty, within the same department or across departmentsand institutions

This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

, we focus on human diversity as reflective of “broad heterogeneity in socialidentities and statuses represented among individuals in a shared engineering experience” [1].We see these dimensions as situated in, interacting with, and influenced by the cultural andsocial norms in which individuals operate. In turn, individuals affect those cultural norms.Understanding these aspects is increasingly recognized as an important part of learning tobecome an engineer. Though traditional engineering education has been, and to a large extentstill is, focused on students acquiring technical knowledge [2] [3], in the workplace engineers arerequired to bring more than technical expertise to solve problems.

For this module,groups of students considered the unique design needs of a marginalized stakeholder who relieson the material properties of single-used plastic straws (e.g., individuals with strength andmobility issues) to recommend an alternative material for the straw (e.g., paper, metal, silicone).In doing so, they must consider the larger economic, environmental, and social impacts of theirmaterial recommendation, and also consider how engineering design and public policy canunintentionally exclude vulnerable populations.

We found that students reliably accounted for the decisions observed.Based on these subconstructs, we developed Likert statements written as simple concepts [48]with a 7-point bipolar scale, with a middle option to reduce measurement error [49]. Researchsuggests that using item-specific scales, as opposed to the commonplace agree/disagree scale,can improve the quality of responses [50]; we thus avoided agree/disagree scales and focused ondeveloping scales that reflected the construct we sought to measure. For instance, we avoidedscales that focused on frequency (e.g., always to never), as in our discourse analysis, weobserved that even infrequent decisions were sometimes very impactful. This

Typically, one can identify a range of solutions that are clearly wrong and arange of solutions that are better than others. This range of responses is opposite to the "checkthe answer in the back of the book" instruction in circuit analysis or other engineeringtechnology coursework.

In general, listeningreceives almost no attention in formal engineering education [4, p. 529]. For example, listeningwas characterized as the weakest component among the communication skills within anelectrical engineering curriculum [6].Listening can be linked with a number of the 21 outcomes in the ASCE Civil Engineering Bodyof Knowledge 3 (BOK3, [7]), including all 6 of the professional outcomes and 3 of the 7technical outcomes; proposed links are shown in Figure 1.Figure 1.
