) Structure; and 7) Peer review [24].Active learning exercisesALEx or active learning activities (ALA) is an instructional method where pre-plannedactivities in class make the students put to use the content that they have just been taught. Manydifferent ALA and ALEx exist [23], [25], which are either informal or graded. The plainestversion of ALEx is regular multiple choice questions, which the students have to solve duringlectures but ALEx also comes as small written exercises, sketch drawings, group workactivities or the like. In class, the instructor presents the theory or case(s) and instruct thestudents how to answer the upcoming ALEx. Typically, the ALEx activities open for studentsubmissions only for a few minutes thus, when conducting graded

Finally we provide conclusions and areas for future exploration.BackgroundThe approaches to teaching inventory (ATI) has been developed and refined over the lastdecade. It has its origins in phenomenographic studies of teachers’ attitudes to teachingand learning in the mid 1990’s.

context. Most field studies have abroadly ethnographic goal, namely to adequately and thickly describe the specific qualities ofpractices, to understand and represent the meaning of those practices for people who participatein them, and to understand unique and locally situated forms of work culture and socialorganization. In the context of engineering practices, field studies have largely been conducted inthe workplace using observations and interviews. These include studies across both disciplinesand time, beginning with pioneering works such as Barnes’ comparative, observational study oftechnical groups in industry [5], and Youngman et al.’s in-depth, multi-modal analysis ofengineering job roles and work activities [6]. The 1980s and 1990s saw

Empowerments such as these have shown to increase studentretention within a major and have positive self-efficacy impacts [31], [32]. Based on the shiftingtrends in STEM student demographics (Error! Reference source not found.), changes in STEMeducation and specifically, engineering education, will be required to ensure the retention ofunderrepresented minorities and women in these fields. Based on the results of this three-yearstudy, best-practices will be identified and presented to allow for implementation at otheruniversities.References[1] S. Garcia-Otero and E. O.

innovation in engineering education necessitates research on ways of thinking. Wesought to gain this understanding based on four specific ways of thinking including futures,values, systems, and strategic thinking. The study builds on the existing body of knowledgeregarding these ways of thinking, while initiating a first step toward an ‘EER ways of thinking’model. We believe the resulting model could serve as an organizing and motivating structure toframe decisions throughout all engineering education endeavors.ReferencesBrown, T. A. (2015).

The Likert scale items askedstudents “to what extent do you agree that each of the following topics improved your ability toeffectively interact with your partner(s) in the problem-solving studio?” Eleven topics oninterpersonal skills were given including i.e. constructive feedback, selective attention, effectivelistening. Each topic was given with a 6 point Likert scale ranging from 0 – I don’t recall thistopic, 1 – disagree strongly, to 6 – agree strongly. Student mean scores ranged from 0 – 6.

compare different feedback structures, both visually(as a network and projected point) and through summary statistics that reflect theweighted structure of connections. The remainder of this section outlines the method ofENA. The details of how ENA was used to analyze the coaching sessions are provided inthe Results and Discussion section.To begin our ENA of co-occurrences of discourse elements (Table 1’s codes), we firstsubdivided the utterances of discourse into groups of utterances. These groups are calledstanza windows. The utterances within a window are assumed to be topically related. Inthis study, we examined conversations between students and coaches where students andcoaches are responding to each other’s previous discourse. As a result
