Tsai is a doctoral student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, whose work examines and develops initiatives and curricular innovations to encourage more students, especially women, into the field of engineering. In addition to assessing peer mentoring programs, Tsai also explores teaching engi- neering statics through tangible sensations in the body, to feel and understand forces, moments, couples, equilibrium, and more via internal constructs instead of the conventional external examples.Dr. Daria A.

The hypothesiswas that asking students more questions would cause the students to reflect on the task at hand,which would in turn increase learning.

Prior to the exams or during the exams, students were not instructed to gothrough the guides. During the final exam, students were asked to respond to the following twoopen-ended questions, and their reflection on the questions were assessed. 1. Do you normally go through the guide and the grading criteria included next to each problem before attempting the problem? 2. Write the advantages and disadvantages of including such a guide and grading criteria for each problem. The figure shows an aluminum and a steel rod that are fixed at the base and support a

students’perception of engineering as especially important in biomedical engineering because it is both heavilyinterdisciplinary and heavily human focused [9,10]. In biomedical engineering, content traditionallyseen as mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering is merged into novel curricula that are human-focused, creating conditions where biomedical engineering students may develop a differentunderstanding than students from other engineering majors.The purpose of this paper is a preliminary analysis of students’ reflections on the epistemologicalboundaries of engineering. We want to understand the boundaries that students establish regardingengineering and the way in which they articulate those boundaries. As an initial step towards that goal

This study indicates that a combinede-portfolio and micro-credentialing platform could benefit students by a) providing students witha tool to reflect on and showcase their experiences, b) matching students with upper-class andalumni mentors in career pathways they are interested in, and c) providing them with curatedlists of on-campus and experiential opportunities and micro-credentials that would support theircareer pathways.IntroductionEvery student’s experience through engineering school culminates in different results -- students’future pathways range
