provide additional direction on theways in which the negative consequences of meritocratic ideals might be mitigated.Conclusion Sense of belonging is an important factor in students' overall college experience. For BLIstudents entering engineering programs, sense of belonging not only plays a role in persistence incollege overall but also in their ability to persist specifically within engineering. As BLI studentsencounter hurdles that challenge the ways in which they view themselves in the engineeringenvironment and how that aligns with engineering culture, it is vital that they are provided theresources and support that not only assist them with mastering material, but also provideopportunities for genuine community building, helping
of amotivation, extrinsic motivation, and intrinsic motivation,self-determination theory is built upon psychological necessities [18]. SDT states that a studenthas a psychological need for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Autonomy can be definedas the self-regulation of behaviors [19]. From an educational perspective, an autonomous studentwillingly devotes time and energy to their studies, and an autonomous classroom would be one inwhich teachers support acknowledgment of feelings, student choices, and opportunities for self-direction [18].Competence, as described within STD, refers to the need of a student to feel that they areeffective and mastering material [20]. For educational practices, instructors can increasecompetence through

One participant questioned whether we wereasking students to do too much, by expecting them to master both technical skills and humanisticunderstanding at the undergraduate level. He encouraged the other participants to consider theimplications of engineering as a four-year undergraduate professional degree, arguing that noother undergraduate degree program expects students to graduate with both the technicalproficiency and critical awareness of engineering.

will be successful on that objective in a future problem. In Statics we require roughly fivecomplete and correct demonstrations of an objective to claim mastery. In Dynamics and DeformableSolids there are more mastery objectives, and we consider three complete and correct demonstrations toclaim mastery. Again, these levels can be set by the instructors based upon the nature and logistics of thecourse.Mastery-based learning is often associated with mastering a concept before going on to the next moreadvanced one (e.g., a student must succeed on ten successive problems of a certain type in order to moveon). That model would be difficult to implement in courses like these. In our model, mastery develops inparallel for all of the mastery

can be detrimental to thelearning of the mentee and the mentor (Dominguez and Hager 2013, p. 175).It seems then that is can be more beneficial if the relationship is viewed as amutual learning experience, where each partner can gain wisdom from the other(Dominguez and Hager 2013, p. 175). This allows the mentor to act more asa facilitator rather than an authoritarian, which can generate a more positivementoring experience, potentially having more positive outcomes for the mentee(Dominguez and Hager 2013, p. 176). This also draws on a traditional ’master-apprentice’ relationship, where good habits in the mentee are formed throughwatching and learning from the mentor, but the mentor still cares about thewell-being and learning of the mentee

marginalization when working in teams. These experiences of marginalization for somestudents act as another barrier for the team’s ability to understand and agree upon goals (Mathieu et al.,2008). Marginalization in student teamwork limits the utilization of resources available within the team’srepertoire, raises issues of trust and conflict, and causes conflict due to roles assignment and sharedleadership (Yang and Yan, 2002). While clearly defining goals for the team seems to be the easiest taskon the part of the engineering educator, providing a safe environment for effective communication withindiverse teams, along with accountable interdependence, is a more sophisticated task. This task requiresthe engineering educator to master a new set of tools

]. Table 1summarizes the various reasoning modalities employed in STEM education. Engineering has themost variety of thinking modalities and technology has the least. Creativity and innovation areessential in the engineering design process. Researchers, academics, educators, and engineeringorganizations all agree that further improvement in engineering education is necessary to fostercreativity [e.g., 10; 36]. Such a task appears daunting because instructors usually prefertraditional teaching styles by relying on a didactic approach rather than modern strategies callingfor activity-based methods. Because it is more difficult for STEM pedagogy to master differentthinking strategies in a passive learning environment, student’s STEM learning must
