American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Examining the Impact of Interpersonal Interactions on Course-Level Persistence Intentions Among Online Undergraduate Engineering StudentsAbstractThis research paper examines the influence of interpersonal interactions on the course-levelpersistence intentions of online undergraduate engineering students. Online learning is increasingin enrollment and importance in engineering education. Online courses also continue to confrontissues with comparatively higher course dropout levels than face-to-face courses. This

the purpose of securing a job and performing well incorporate environments. In addition to certain technical skills, essential 21st-century skillsinclude communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. A well-known learningtheory that helps students learn these skills is cooperative learning. Cooperative learning positsthat when students collaborate within teams to solve complex problems, their creativity andcritical thinking skills are improved as a result. Implementing cooperative learning in the pastseveral months has been challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sudden shift fromface-to-face to online instruction, has left a void for newer pedagogical approaches to teachteamwork. In this full paper, we investigate

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Use of Personas in Rating Scholarship ApplicationsIntroductionThis evidence-based practice paper introduces a method for creating subjective, holistic rubricsbased on the human-centered design concept of personas. It can be difficult to align assessmentmetrics with subjective artifacts, especially when the goal of the artifact itself is subjective.

peers, students wouldexperience less peer support, this research question sought to explore whether this was indeedthe case. If students report less peer support in remote settings, we can likely attribute suchreductions, in whole or in part, to the reduced opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions. If,however, students report more peer support, no differences in peer support, or inconsistent levelsof support between the two settings, then we must look at other possible causes to explain thesedifferences. One potentially important influence on perceptions of peer support could be a shiftin student expectations. In the process of adjusting to remote learning, students’ expectations forthe type and amount of peer support they might receive may

RLC on StudentsThe three tenets of the situated learning framework served as the theoretical lens to understandexperiences of novice learners within the DMLC. This pilot study revealed that students found theexperience positive for all three tenets of situated learning. Social interaction among studentsrevealed evidence of intrapersonal conflict. We need to study reasons for conflict as well asstrategies students use to overcome them. Additional research is needed to evaluate students overa period of a year, so that we can understand how students’ perception of context, socialinteraction, and authentic learning change over time. Identifying challenges along with benefitsare important for the design of improved RLCs in the future. Future

students in different fieldswill have different levels of wellbeing as well as perceptions of stress, competition, andachievement. This relationship is hypothesized because they would be socialized in differentcharacteristics that are deemed particular to their fields. In this exploration, we first use largegroups to identify any specific differentiation of engineering compared against the other twolarge categories considered. However, future work will involve the exploration of differencesbetween engineering and specific majors individually.MethodsDataWe used data from the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), a web-based survey administered throughthe Healthy Minds Network for Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health(HMN).

of the field and its innovations[18]. One network analysis study ofcommunity and collaboration, for example, revealed a lack of diffusion across the engineeringeducation research (EER) community, and the network analysis illustrated the shape of thediscipline’s network. The authors then used the analysis to locate disciplinary pockets as well asareas and topics of interests. In this article, we follow scholars outside the field to take morenarrow approach[20]: rather than explore a network to discover themes or locate topics ofinterest, we instead interrogate one particular topic, intersectionality, to understand the way thefield has used the term, the way it has gathered around particular key texts, and the citationaltendencies that support
