An I-T-U ratingwas used to accomplished this, where I means “introduction, without providinghomework and feedback,” T means “teach, where assignments are provided and graded”,and U means “utilize the SKA that student had already mastered in a previous course.”The lower case i,t,u denote the existing depth, while the upper case I,T,U denote the newteaching depth that the team proposed. These definitions allowed the team to considerhow the SKA should be mapped into and taught in

The mean pre-intervention score for the 15females who responded was 60.80 (s.d. 26). At post-intervention, the mean score for males was79.47 (s.d. 12), while the females mean score was 79.67 (s.d.17). Though these data are limitedby the fact that fewer participants completed post –intervention than pre-intervention measures,it is notable that females initially lacked confidence in their ability to master these skills, yet afterexposure to the program, their level of confidence was very similar to that of the males.

often speaks about the influence of constructslike race, socioeconomic status, gender, or other broadly defined social characteristics. Identitytheory also discusses these constructs, but refers to them as master statuses, and disagrees as totheir handling and their importance7, 8. However, there is a space for the two theories to worktogether, particularly when it comes to studying identities that are defined socially and performeddaily, e.g., engineering.For this paper, we use these theories to clarify differences between the two types of engineeridentity and address the ways that cultural definitions of engineering impact students in the dailyperformance of their identities. This approach is anchored in existing work that explores theimpact
to succeed in a specific situation or at a particular task.This belief informs how a person approaches goals. Self-determination theory emphasizes thatpeople’s actions are driven by external systems (e.g., grades, incentives, rewards, etc.) as well asinternal factors (e.g., curiosity, self-satisfaction, interest, etc.). The theory consists of three basicpsychological needs to foster positive experience and well-being—autonomy, relatedness, andcompetence. Autonomy is an individual’s ability to be empowered to act of free will in a way thatis consistent with his or her interests and values. Relatedness is a desire to interact or connect withothers. Competence is the desire to control or master an outcome. Expectancy-value theory focuseson

courses.Development of metacognitive and critical process skills, in addition to mastering technicalcontent, can better equip engineers to be capable of creative application of their knowledge.Creativity is a foundational requirement for innovation and another of our Academy’s sevenacademic program goals. One important aspect of creativity is the ability to develop multiplepossible solutions for a given problem (referred to as divergent production). Engineering courses,particularly introductory ones, often emphasize finding a single correct answer to each problem(convergent production). Felder (1988) 16 argued that engineering education was “failingabysmally” in teaching divergent production, suggesting that graduates would not be wellequipped to creatively

A major course objectivewas to prepare students for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and the Principles andPractice of Engineering Examination for Environmental Engineers, which currently contains 23air pollution questions (NCEES 2011). During the Spring 2016 semester, in which students weresurveyed, 5 masters-level graduate students and 14 undergraduates (junior and senior-level) wereenrolled in the course. Of the 19 students, 17 were female and 2 were male. Each master’sstudent enrolled in the air pollution course was a member of either the civil and environmentalengineering program or the environmental engineering and science program, and eachundergraduate student

undergrad teachingassistants) were in the OEL at any one time. This space was known to be a collaborativeenvironment, and often students were observed working on other courses and forming studygroups. Due to this open collaborative environment, it was likely that students would interactwith others that were not in their laboratory sessions.This active and open environment created and encouraged a complex collaborative learningatmosphere for students. In the OEL students would interact with students in the sameintroductory course, other students (in different engineering courses or other majors),undergraduate teaching assistants, graduate (both doctoral and masters) teaching assistants, andfaculty. The range of interactions in the OEL created both
