She teaches graduate courses in numerous areas, including math pedagogy, assessment, educational research, and learner development. She holds two Ph.D. degrees, in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M University (2007) and in Mathematics Education from the University of Georgia (2022). Her scholarship focuses on mathematics teaching and learning, STEM education, and teacher preparation and professional development. Her 20+ publications include articles that appear in journals such as
Education (EE),Professor (PR),The search term ethics was also included because it is worth noting that some researchers mayconsider social justice to be an extension of ethics. Therefore, we used ethics as a broader term inwhich social justice can be referenced to engineering education. It was also important tounderstand how scholars connected and made sense of the key terms while centering the voicesof professors in the university setting. Only published peer-reviewed papers in academic journalswritten in English dated between 2010 - 2022 were considered.PRISMADirect searches within each of the databases resulted in thousands of articles.

We anticipated 12 latent factors in the plannedvalidation study, with approximately five to six questions per factor. Factors were baseddirectly on themes from prior interview data. Leveraging our experiences with the first study,each item began with identical question stems “I feel stress when” to minimize the variance inparticipants’ interpretation of items. The same number of items were added to and subtractedfrom the survey during the cognitive interview process, resulting in 65 final items.Participants were contacted in summer 2022 via an email

As of 2022, a Bachelor of Science in Engineeringhas returned [31], offered through the Engineering, Design, & Society Department: The BSE is an interdisciplinary design engineering degree that focuses on the creation of innovative solutions to the challenging problems facing people, societies, and the world. Through a sequence of Integrated Design Studios that bridge first-year Cornerstone Design and senior-year Capstone Design, students become experts in design methods that deploy engineering principles to address human problems in real-world contexts

BHEW previously identified that theeducational outcomes and STEM readiness of students of color will have direct implications onAmerica’s economic growth, national security, and global prosperity [6]. The recent Report byBHEW (2022) has identified seven (7) strategies: (i) Dynamic, multilevel, mission-drivenleadership; (ii) Institutional responsiveness to student needs; (iii) Campus climates that support asense of belonging for students; (iv) Student-centered academic and social supports; (v) Effectivementorship and sponsorship; (vi) Undergraduate research experiences; (vii) Mutually beneficialpublic- and private sector partnerships.

issues (Hyunet al., 2006; Lipson et al., 2016). Research also shows that engineering students from marginalizedgroups may face greater incidences of mental health disorders. For example, one U.S. survey foundthat women engineering students were more likely to screen positive for major depressive order(by a factor of 2.3), panic disorder (by a factor of 4.4), other anxiety disorders (by a factor of 2.2),and PTSD (by a factor of 1.9) than their men peers (Danowitz & Beddoes, 2022). The same studyfound that engineering students who identify as Hispanic or Latinx were more likely to screenpositive for major depressive disorder (by a factor of 3.2) and PTSD (by a factor of 2.5) thanrespondents who identified as non-Hispanic/Latinx White; and that

more learner-centered and focusedon formative feedback rather than summative evaluation [1].As the world of technology continues to advance, a shift and embracement of new assessmentmethods is appropriate and necessary. For example, as of early 2022, the New York Timesreported that universities are now having to change the way they are teaching and assessingstudents because of the widespread availability of A.I. Chatbots such as ChatGPT [12]. WithinIE at Minnesota State University, Mankato, differential methods of assessment have beenemployed for over a decade and we want to share our experiences with oral exams to supportothers in embracing the changing world, better preparing engineering students for their futurepositions.Overview of

The five-year project supports two cohorts of engineering students asthey each progress through four years of academic study. A first cohort of twenty-four, first-yearengineering students was selected for the 2022-23 academic year, and a second cohort of twenty-two students was selected for the 2023-24 year. Each year the students in the program receivescaffolded levels of financial support based on their unmet need.Cohorts in their first year of the program are provided with concentrated academic supportthrough an

Thestudents are informed that the in-game points are simply for fun and do not have any effect ontheir course grade.Game DevelopmentThis game was inspired as part of a workshop at Capstone Design Conference in 2022. The goalof the workshop was to create a game that could simulate all or part of the Capstone designprocess. The group in this workshop decided to focus on teaming, as all the faculty involved hadexperienced challenges with their capstone students regarding teaming. The game started off as“Capstone Conundrums” and the initial design prompts were brainstormed at the conference.The game was playtested at several different locations in summer of 2022; Capstone DesignConference, with engineers in

In this work, we focus on the insights obtained from thestudy of the differences between the tier one “correctness” questions and the tier-two“understanding” ones (RQ1). In particular, we propose and study the value of what we call theJustification Effect or J-Effect. MethodsTwo preliminary trials were conducted in the Fall of 2022 (F22), one at George WashingtonUniversity and one at Smith College. The purpose of these trials was to assess the design ofexams in terms of duration, the difficulty for students to answer and instructors to grade, and thevariability of the answers provided
