Education, 2021Exploring the Evolution of Engineering Students’ Feelings of Inclusion in Their Collegeand the Broader Scientific Community.AbstractThis complete research paper discusses how students’ feelings of inclusion change throughouttheir undergraduate career. Student responses acquired through focus groups and one-on-oneinterviews were examined to determine how included the students felt in their engineeringcollege and also the broader scientific community.A small group of non-calculus ready engineering students enrolled in a large land grantinstitution in the Mid-Atlantic region consented to participate in the study. The student cohortparticipated in an NSF S-STEM funded program aimed at fostering a sense of inclusion inengineering by

As described at 2023 ASEE Annual Meeting, we spentthe past few years increasing the response rate to the end-of-course survey and aim in the longerterm to increase the proportion of students who self-report their attainment of the course learningobjectives as either “Good” or “Excellent.” After reflecting upon these results and learning lessonsfrom previous course offerings, we are now introducing strategies to increase student engagementfurther and attain department metrics for the course. Starting in Fall 2023, 13 activities wereintroduced to improve the course. The activities can be grouped into three categories: (A)Demonstrating the worth of the course to the students; (B) Making class fun; and (C

In this course, groups of (typically) three undergraduate studentswere mentored by one graduate student. The undergraduate students worked with and were ledby these research mentors in various aerospace engineering research projects. In many cases, theundergraduate students were working on a project related to the research mentors’ theses orresearch work. Previous studies looking at the undergraduate

The data for this study are a collection of semi-structured interviews with eight students spanning chemistry, chemical engineering, andbiochemistry at a large public Mid-Atlantic university. While the dataset contains thirty-twointerviews—one each year for four years across eight participants—the bulk of the discussion ofpre-college experiences occurred in the first- and second-year interviews. As noted above, abetter understanding of how students pre-emptively form their picture of the universityenvironment and how they fit into it would allow for better design and implementation ofsupport and interventions for students who are struggling to adjust.

One exception was Harold Walker’s essay for the 2016 ASEEMid-Atlantic Section conference, in which he argues that some of Haidt’s “elements of morality” but notothers are privileged in “a number of engineering texts” [31]. Thus, this distinction between frameworksand foundations remains grossly understudied in the context of engineering ethics.Of course, the importing of moral foundations theory into engineering ethics brings with it somecompelling critical questions.

DBR parallels principles of design as we teach them in our technologyand engineering classes: “Design has its own distinct ‘things to know, ways of knowing them,and ways of finding out about them’” so it investigates “the man-made world” through“modelling, pattern-formation, [and] synthesis” toward values of “practicality, ingenuity,empathy, and a concern for ‘appropriateness’” (p. 221-222)11. DBR leverages the complexity ofeducational environments; opportunities for iteration in different contexts (to see what works,when); and product-based nature of curriculum design.
