However, high school students face inadequate preparation for STEMfields, and the STEM workforce is experiencing attrition. The report from the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) indicates that the proportion of high school students meeting college readinessbenchmarks in STEM subjects declined from 19% in 2021 to 16% in 2022 [2]. Moreover, 24%of

ForCanadian perspective, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) is responsible forevaluating and accrediting undergraduate engineering programs offered at Canadian institutionsto ensure they meet and establish academic standards [18]. Here, in total of 12 GAs set by CEABserve as benchmarks for evaluating the outcomes of undergraduate engineering programs. Asfrom the manual [18], in 2022 it underwent a refinement with the “design” graduate attribute(attribute 4) to align the students with evolving technological and societal challenges that
. Participating inwhole-class conversations during engineering design experiences can also help students expandtheir engineering thinking to include perspectives of care (McGowan & Bell, 2020) and socio-ethical deliberations.In a multi-year collaboration of university researchers and classroom teachers in first- throughsixth-grade classrooms, we have been enacting and studying five different types of whole-classengineering design conversations, which we refer to as Design Talks. Examples, including videoclips and transcripts, can be found on the project website at www.engineeringdesigntalks.org andin prior publications (Wendell et al., 2024; Wendell, Watkins, Andrews, & Malinowski, 2023;Wendell et al., 2022).As a teacher-researcher community of

Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com Can Oral Exams Increase Student Performance and Motivation?AbstractThis is a Research paper. A large number of students never raise their hand during lectures or goto office hours. This is especially the case for large undergraduate classes. It is hypothesized thatmany students would benefit from more interaction with an instructor or teaching assistant. Thisstudy is part of a larger project of implementing oral exams in undergraduate engineering courseswith potential benefits including improved assessment and reduction in academic integrityconcerns. In addition to these benefits, this study paper explores whether oral exams can increasestudent motivation to learn and performance

Surveys were administered each Spring semester from 2013 to 2022 to sophomoreengineering students at a large PWI institution in the Midwest, yielding a dataset of 1,766responses. Based on prior theory and research, we determined whether there was sufficient priorvalidity evidence for adapting Schreiner’s survey and what additional validity evidence wasneeded for the sophomore engineering use case. Adopting Kane’s argument-based approach, wegathered evidence to find support for the validity of the interpretations of the five scales of theSEES, specifically for reliability and factor structure. We then performed factor
. Another concern is the possibilitythat chatbots could be used to encourage academic dishonesty, such as by providing answers toassignments or exams. Some researchers have argued that chatbots have the potential to facilitateplagiarism by providing students with ready-made answers to assignments and assessments [24]. In [25],the authors presented the potential for chatbots to be used to cheat on online exams. The author in [26]also addressed this issue. These studies highlight the need for careful consideration of the ethicalimplications of using chatbot in education. The recent release of ChatGPT in November 2022 (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) by OpenAI(https://openai.com/), an AI-powered chatbot, has marked a significant advancement in
