FYEE Conference - Paper Submission
Engineering Design (EDSGN 100) acts as a gateway engineering course forover 3800 students across 20 Penn State campuses each year. Recently, the course has incorporatedsix educational modules, which cover topics from creativity to professional communication tomaking. However, these modules require a unifying experience so that the students are able toperceive how the content from the individual modules coalesces to form the unique identity of anengineer. To address this need, a new framework is proposed to guide the creation andimplementation of an 8-week long design challenge within EDSGN 100. This framework identifiesa series of 8 project characteristics necessary to create a clear connection between the content fromeach of the individual modules

I intentionally excluded questions about race, gender, or class in theinterview protocol because I was not interested in generalizing certain groups concerning theirrace, gender, class, sexual orientation, or identification as a first-generation or continuinggeneration college student. Instead, I preferred for these aspects of their social identity to emergeorganically. One particular experience that arose throughout an interview involved one of myparticipants, Simone

In this paper it is hypothesized that degree programs in thesedisciplines confront, with varying degrees of success, a tension between providing theknowledge needed to act and inculcating the ability in students to act spontaneously and in theright way. This paper explores this tension by looking across these disciplines to identifypractices that are believed to be effective in giving students the knowledge and abilities neededto act professionally. The general approach that has emerged is having students actively addressproblems of varying degrees of difficulty and constraint through

Someexamples of the specific questions being asked around these characteristics of diverse people are:which factors enable minorities’ success, how do specific demographics perform in teamworkscenarios, and how can we recruit diverse groups. Some specific examples of nontraditionalquestions asked within this category are the “relationships between student characteristics andentrepreneurship education (curricular and co-curricular) choices” (Celis & Huang-Saad, 2015),as well as how does socio-economic status play a role in course performance (Agrawal,Stevenson, & Gloster

Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving

We envision a delivery of different subsets of the EOP frameworkcompetencies across the project-spine to ensure meaningful engagement is achieved for allcompetencies. This approach allows for at least two synergistic pedagogical and researchopportunities: 1) emphasizing a different subset of EOP competencies in different PjBLcourses allows students to see the interdependencies between those competencies in moredepth; and 2) spreading

They described a balancing act thatundergraduate engineers must constantly perform to succeed (i.e., studying enough, makingfriends, and getting enough sleep) and responded with a call for change. As Ashley touched on inthe prior section, some felt that meeting the student at their level with a holistic approach was themost effective educational approach.One way to support this environment was with a “cohort-based approach” as suggested by Kara,who felt their department’s “strong sense of community” was partly

While 4may represent a freshman LTS experience, 5 would be a capstone LTS experience, building uponprevious technical and social learning in programs such as EPICS, which provides graduatedproject experiences for freshmen through seniors and graduate students that can become morecomplex as the project progresses and as more senior-level students become involved.This balance can be viewed in terms of Butin’s models.6 Basically, we have collapsed Butin’sCultural, Political, and Anti-foundational models onto one axis.

As specified previously, the fourdedicated facilitators for the PD were graduate students and postdoctoral researchers inengineering fields. However, as the PD progressed, the facilitators began to develop a greaterappreciation for the work done by the teachers. This illustrates an effective, bidirectionaloperationalization of social capital with facilitators and teachers learning from one-another.For each of the aforementioned themes, Table 2 below provides examples of key issues affectingteachers during the PD while Table 3 provides examples of changes induced and observed in boththe

The “stayers” tend to use “I”in diverse and un-patterned ways, tend to talk about the cluster in past tense, and tend to talkabout the math course more than others. A comparison between students in first-year writing atNMSU who enrolled in an un-clustered section and ILC students can be made. In Green’sdissertation on “Student and Teacher Identity: Pedagogy and Identity in First-Year Writing,” thetypical use of “I” in prompted writing exercises rarely exceed 4% of the corpus regardless ofgenre or pedagogical approach in her study.8 Having the students clustered might be one of thereasons for the higher use

has experiencein higher education, mentoring may also lead to increased persistence because it helps studentsnavigate the university context [14]. Furthermore, hearing about a mentor’s experiences mayhelp students make connections between their coursework and future careers [15]. The benefit offaculty mentoring is stronger among under-resourced and underrepresented students as theyoften lack access to role models or advice related to courses and careers [16]. While research suggests that mentoring supports students’ achievement and persistence,the psychological mechanisms underpinning this relation are not well understood. Additionally,despite the prevalence of mentoring programs, research on their effectiveness is limited, as thereis
