bachelorsdegree are using the technique today. In contrast, ten years ago, specialists did a majorityof FEM analyses, mostly educated at the masters or doctoral level [1] due to the method’stechnical complexity and to the command line pre-processing requirements. Finite element courses in academia at the undergraduate and graduate levels inengineering programs are mainly theoretical in nature. Although some students andpractitioners have taken an FEM course at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, manyindividuals have only been introduced to FEM in a two to five day training course.These training courses enable an individual to ‘build a model’ and have the program runsuccessfully to yield some output. However, these software-training courses fall

Each manuscript was read, and the data described above was collected foreach of the 17 articles and compiled in a master spreadsheet.Stage 5: Collating, summarizing, and reporting the resultsUpon having reviewed all 17 articles the mapping of the research contexts, populations, andmethods was done by compiling a table of the general characteristics categories that each paperfell into. The collation and summarization of the answers to our research questions was done bynoting each individually reported finding from all 17 articles (many articles had multiple) thatprovided an answer to our research question of a perception that students had about

In the context of culturally relevant pedagogy, this meansnot only helping students meet traditional academic benchmarks but also empowering them toexcel by recognizing and validating their cultural identities within the learning process. Forengineering education, this principle is vital as it addresses the need to support students fromdiverse backgrounds in mastering complex technical content while also fostering theirconfidence and sense of belonging in the field.

with skills to account for and meaningfully contributeto these sociocultural facets [1]-[4].Industrial engineering distinguishes itself from other engineering disciplines through itsemphasis on data analysis to improve social systems and processes. This field also focuses onhuman and business dimensions more so than other engineering disciplines [18]. Industrialengineering students are usually expected to become proficient in topics such as ergonomics andhuman factors, maximizing economic profit, systems engineering, operations research,manufacturing processes, and quality control [13], [19]. These examples of foundationalknowledge are no doubt essential for industrial engineers to master, however, students oftenprioritize that knowledge over

Students reported that they primarily uselecture recordings to edit or fill in partially missed lecture notes even after attending class (n=63,58%), review lecture notes to master material or improve understanding (including the use ofclosed captions) (n=53, 49%), review for exams or quizzes (n=45, 42%), catch up when sick orotherwise unable

Lave and Wenger maintain that the development of expertise issocially mediated. Participants in a group of practitioners of a domain acquire identification withthe practice embodied in the domain as they master peripheral roles at first, then progress tomore central roles as ability and competence develop.28,29 The enduring nature of a communityof practice comes from three characteristics of both community and practice: “mutualengagement, a joint enterprise, and a shared repertoire of ways of doing things” (p. 49).28 Mentalmodels are more malleable, yet what makes them adaptive and effective in interactions within

The impact that faculty can have on women in STEM disciplines is not always clearlydelineated as positive or negative. For example, in their study of 40 STEM graduates, Salazar etal.

). As a research area, it is grounded in certainontologies, epistemologies and methodologies (Evans et al., 2010). A widely quoted definition ofstudent development is as follows: “the application of human development concepts inpostsecondary settings so that everyone involved can master increasingly complexdevelopmental tasks, achieve self-direction, and become interdependent” (Miller and Prince,1976, p. 3). There are at least two assumptions behind the discussions about studentdevelopment. One is that student development is a positive growth process, which isconceptually different from change or growth (Sanford, 1967). The other is that studentdevelopment is conceptualized and evaluated on the basis of the changing societal conditions(McEwen
