These alumni are currently participating in diversecareers, including entrepreneurship, as employees of engineering firms, academia, graduatestudies, business analysis and management consulting, pharmaceutical science and law.Data Collection and AnalysisData was collected through semi-structured interviews with faculty members and alumni. Thestudy protocol was approved by the appropriate university research ethics board. The interviewswere conducted on Zoom, due in part to the Covid-19 Pandemic, and were subsequentlytranscribed by the research team.

they believe each engineering undergraduate degreeprogram should be able to cultivate in their students, including: (a) an ability to apply knowledgeof mathematics, science and engineering, (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, aswell as to analyze and interpret data, (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process tomeet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, (e) an ability to identify,formulate, and solve engineering problems, and (g) an ability to communicate effectively (ABETCriterion 3. Student Outcomes (a-k)). We argue that all of these skills are essential componentsof the argumentation process

assistant at the Tufts’ Center for Engineering Education and Outreach.Dr. Darshan Karwat, Arizona State University I am an assistant professor with a joint appointment in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and The Polytechnic School at ASU, where I run re-Engineered, an interdisciplinary group that embeds peace, social justice, and environmental protection in engineering. I am originally from Mumbai, India, but feel equally at home in Michigan or Washington, D.C. (and now, the Valley!). I studied aerospace engineering (specializing in gas dynamics and combustion) and sustainability ethics at the University of Michigan. I then spent three years as a AAAS Fellow in Washington, D.C., first at the U.S

undergraduateengineering curricula. Communication, especially in the context of working with teams and othersoutside of business organizations, was lacking in new engineers, and they emphasized teamworkskills from capstone design projects to hold the most value. Survey results also found that criticalthinking, seen in design skills for parts, processes, and systems were of utmost importance forsuccess in the workplace.Through a survey of Atlanta area construction engineers and managers, the highest emphasis wasplaced on competencies of “communication, ethics, professionalism, commitment to lifelonglearning, and multi-disciplinary team collaboration.” In comparing these industry preferences withundergraduate engineering programs, the study concluded that

We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

The secondYTU, You Teach Us – What You Learn, gave students the opportunity to select any topic thatthey believe fit the overall objectives of the course and that would advance theirs and their peers’creative abilities. For instance, while the course covers many ideation and implementationtechniques, students provided novel content in areas such as makerspaces, ethics, the connectionbetween creativity and sleep science, brainstorming techniques, and creative habit formation.The topics that students can select to teach for this assignment are intentionally open-ended forthis course on creativity and innovation.

., engineering science) while largely ignoring the practical, social and behavioralinteractions that make up a significant part of engineering practice [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11].There is an increasing sense that science and engineering need to develop broader, moreinterdisciplinary perspectives to address the complex social problems facing the world today[12], [13], [14]. To become competent professionals, engineering graduates need to work acrossdisciplinary boundaries and engage more meaningfully and holistically with the social world andsocial systems that embed engineering such as the diverse international, societal, and communityinterests, as well as the various political, economic, legal, ethical and commercial interests inwhich engineers

Historically, they have established powerrelationships among authors, ideas, and larger sociotechnical systems within the university[26].Our citations reflect our reading practices while establishing field boundaries and contours andultimately funneling into the larger economy of the university. They undergird this universityeconomy in a number of ways: (a) we form communities of practice/discourse communities inhow we cite, excluding and including particular ways of knowing; (b) we give particular ideaspower and visibility in how we cite; (c) we decide whose work matters, who should be tenuredand promoted, who belongs; and (d) we teach ethics and intellectual property through citations.These

The course meets twice aweek for two hours each and relies heavily on team-based, hands-on activities and projects tohelp students learn the course material. Additionally, the course uses a flipped classroomapproach, where students watch assigned videos or read selected chapters from the textbookprior to attending class and spend most of class time

However, at theuniversity where the proposed study will be conducted, engineering students must be formallyaccepted into a major-specific professional program prior to enrolling in junior level (i.e., 3rdyear) engineering courses. Therefore, we intend to use the student identification numbers of allstudents working toward entrance into the engineering professional

qualitative and quantitative data gathered suggest that theprelab problem sets helped the students to be better prepared for the lab sessions due to thecomplementary nature of the prelab problems and the lab problems. Coupled with thefeatures of WeBWorK, the prelab problem sets provided better support for the students’learning and also deepened their understanding of the concepts during the actual lab sessions.AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by the Simon Fraser University Teaching and LearningDevelopment Grant. We also note that DORE provided a waiver from full ethics review forpublishing this at the conference. Lastly, we would like to thank the students in this coursefor their kind participation in the study.References[1] S. J. Greenwald

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4. How might the lessons of this work be implemented to systematically alert instructors when
