intentionally broad;chemical engineers work in a variety of industries and therefore learn in the context ofequipment rather than product. We believe that student work has typically been limited by lackof understanding of the potential applications of various unit operations to specific and importantprocesses. To address this, we wanted to include a contextual problem in the course that wasmeaningful to the students and had a specific technical solution it was investigating. We alsowanted to add design and prototype training to the curriculum and to add inquiry-basedinstruction to one of the rotating experiments.Curricular ChangesThe primary curricular change in the fall of 2022 was a redesign of the traditional flooding pointexperiment to an inquiry

), confirmationbias: the tendency to seek out and interpret information that supports one’s existing beliefs (Calikli& Bener, 2015; Hallihan & Shu, 2013; Nelius et al., 2020), and in the case of interdisciplinaryteams, disciplinary bias: a preference towards data that is relevant to one’s own discipline (Harriset al., 2009; Horn et al., 2022). A common recommendation for mitigating bias in engineeringdesign is the inclusion of varying perspectives as contributors. This often is understood“horizontally,” referring to interdisciplinary engineering teams, but can also be done “vertically”with the inclusion of representatives from engineering, policy, management, and other keystakeholder groups. Stakeholder analysis is not a new concept

The datawas collected during the Fall 2022 semester with students from architecture coursesConstructions-1 (n=16 students) and Constructions-2 (n=14, n=17, n=17, n=17 students) toa total sample size of n=81 students. All students provided responses. The survey containedboth closed- and open-ended questions. The survey aimed for students to self-report theirperception regarding the benefits of delivering a mind-map before an examination, and theperception if the mind-map had an impact on the examination. The unit of analysis for thecase study [22] consisted of the days leading up to the examination when students workedon the mind-map and to the moment when the examination itself ended

In Year 1 of this project [21], we employed a longitudinalmixed methods study design to identify the most common and severe stressors experienced by acohort of students at one institution. Drawing from the results of this study and a review of theliterature on graduate student stressors, we developed the Stressors for Doctoral StudentsQuestionnaire for Engineering (SDSQ-E) and administered it twice, in fall 2022 and in spring2023. The SDSQ-E measures the severity and frequency of stressors including advisor-relatedstressors, class-taking stressors, research or laboratory stressors, campus life and

WentworthInstitute of Technology has revised the first-year engineering curricula, for 8 engineeringprograms, in 2021. This paper presents the designing process of a first-year laboratory course inelectrical and computer engineering that was offered for the first time in Fall 2022 as part of theredesigned first-year engineering curriculum. The course aims at providing engaging, active, andhands-on academic experience and at exposing first-year students to their chosen engineeringdiscipline to enhance first year students’ performance and motivation to continue in anengineering

Theautonomous vehicle capstone course is a relatively new addition to the curriculum andimplements a Design-Build-Fly method with a flight competition at the end of April.Undergraduate aerospace engineering students must take at least 5 credits of capstone to meettheir degree requirements.Prior to the 2021-2022 academic year, all aerospace engineering capstone courses included alecture-based unit on DEI that was embedded within the broader context of professional behaviorand team dynamics. With the addition of 2-3 CATME-based team peer review surveysthroughout the Fall and Spring semesters to assess team communication, collaboration, andstudent perceptions of team productivity, this approach satisfied the ABET student

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Measurements Of Adaptive Expertise Among Low-Income STEM StudentsAbstractOne of the goals of undergraduate education is to prepare students to adapt to a challengingcareer that requires continual learning and application of knowledge. Working professionalsshould have deep conceptual knowledge that they can apply in a range of contexts and possessthe attitudes and skills of lifelong learners. The literature suggests the concept of AdaptiveExpertise (AE), which can be defined as the ability to apply and extend knowledge and skills tonew situations, describes some of these characteristics.

, there have been significant programmatic changes for the upcoming 2024apprenticeship cohort. For the 2022 and 2023 cohorts, students from QCC were only able toapply for apprenticeship roles at Company A and Company B. Similarly, for those cohorts,Company A and Company B only recruited from QCC for their apprenticeship roles. For the2024 apprenticeship cohort, students from any of the five participating CUNY schools can applyfor apprenticeship roles at any of the participating technology partner companies. For the 2024cohort, we expect about seven major companies will offer technology apprenticeship roles. Forstudents at any of the participating CUNY schools, this will mean there are more apprenticeshiproles available but also increased cross
,cultural differences with respect to attitudes towards and experiences of other minoritized groups,such as queer students, can also be challenging for international graduate students. For example,some international engineering graduate students at our university have expressed confusion whenasked if they wished to share their personal pronouns. With financial support provided by a seedgrant from our university, we organized the 2022 International Perspectives on Diversity, Equity,and Inclusion (iDEI) Summit. The 2022 iDEI Summit was a day-long discussion amonginternational engineering graduate students about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Kaminski (1998) developed five heat transfer experiments that he used to teachthe laboratory component for a Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) heat transfer courseat Central Washington University [4]. Farrell and Hesketh (2000) used an inductive approach toteach heat and mass transfer courses in which students learn from specific to general (instead ofthe more traditional heat transfer teaching scheme from general to specific) and claimed that thistechnique gives a reason for why the student needs to learn the material [5].

Also, students can examine team dynamics [10,11] and their personal leadership style inthe reflections, encouraging them to directly focus on their interpersonal skills andcommunication. Indirectly, reflection on the design project itself encourages students toreexamine the problem, to find more creative solutions and broaden their thinking. Thoughreflection can indirectly support numerous learning outcomes, a 2022 study of over 3,000 first-year students engaged in reflection suggested that reflections with “limited number of purposesor clear learning goals” will have better outcomes, supporting earlier research by Aronson [5,12].Thus, design instructors are encouraged to target particular learning outcomes for

that there was a lack of an agreed upon standard definition andassessment for self-concept, which is still the case for assessing self-concept in science andtechnology majors [17]. A possible reason is, assessment of self-concept in the domain ofengineering requires a multi-facet amalgamation within academic self-concept, i.e., acombination of science, math, and technical self-concept.A Google Scholar search with “academic self-concept” and “engineering education” as Booleanterms produced 548 results. The search criterion was restricted to the years 2020 to 2022, tocapture the current and state of the art methods to assess self-concept in STEM fields.

Thestudy was conducted with a qualitative approach to measure the performance of civilengineering and architecture students. The data collection was carried out during the firstsemester 2022/2023, taught between August and December, in the civil engineeringcourses: Construction
). Many community colleges across the U.S. offer engineering courses whichtransfer to a four-year university, and 42.7% of engineering students are enrolled at a communitycollege at some point in their education (NSF, 2019). However, year-over-year retention ofstudents in community colleges is low – freshman-to-sophomore rates of retention hover around55% on average (Monaghan and Sommers, 2022). One reason for low retention is thatcommunity college students tend to have more commitments outside of school than theircounterparts at four-year universities. Many colleges offer programs intended to increaseretention and engagement among these students (such as research, scholarships, and formalmentorship). In this review, I sought to answer the
