generation processes. For example, an interview question may be wordedin such a way that it reflects the experiences and worldview of somebody who speaksAppalachian English versus African American English. To offset this possibility, the researchteam should consult with people who are familiar with the language and culture of the researchparticipants and ask them to evaluate data generation protocols as well as early collected data. Insummary, researchers can enact several validation procedures to increase the likelihood that theirdata generation methods are culturally responsive and result in a fit between a social reality andthe research report, rather than a deficit view. These steps include: • Recognize subtle (or non-subtle) linguistic

not only was this exhausting, but that it worked against theirmastery of the concepts: Having a whole day of lectures, theoretically, allows students to focus on the work and ask questions in a ordered, consecutive manner. Unfortunately, owing to the long days [specifically in CHE3005W] this was not achieved practically as the long hours is exhausting for the student and the lecturers. Additionally, it was difficult to not really know anything about the topic at 10h00 and then by 18h00 essentially finishing two weeks worth of information. If one did not understand a concept or if one needs time to reflect on the work to fully understand it, meridian was the only time to do so to ensure that one

toconduct tasks. Similarly, competence describes a student’s belief in their ability tounderstand content. Performance and competence are closely linked. In later quantitativestudies of identity, these factors were combined into one performance/competence factor,thus reflecting student’s self-perception of performance as linked to their actualperformance. Recognition describes how parents, relatives, friends, and instructors seethe student in a given context. This framework was expanded by Hazari, Sonnert, Sadler,and Shanahan (2010) in their quantitative analysis of physics identity with the addition ofinterest to the framework. Interest describes one’s enjoyment in learning or interest inlearning about engineering. The PCIR framework refers to the

The primary source ofdata was 21 transcribed audio recordings of design meetings and is supplemented withinterviews, reflections, and course artifacts. Thematic analysis revealed 10 themes that representconnections and disconnections between the process used and a common five-stage designthinking process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test). These themes demonstrate someof the opportunities and challenges related to design thinking within an engineering coursedesign setting. In particular, they suggest that engineering course design is a relevant context fordesign thinking, but one to which design thinking methods do not always naturally translated.Future work should focus on better

” Mechanical EngineeringResearch quality was considered throughout the data collection and analysis process, based onthe Qualifying Qualitative Research Quality (Q3) framework by Walther, Sochacka, and Kellam[17]. The belongingness responses from each student were coded using in vivo codes [18]. Invivo codes brought richness to the analysis and reflected the exact words used by the students[17]. Multiple coding and theming passes, as well as a constant comparative method, were usedacross interviews to tightly link the themes to the data [19]. Authors had ongoing conversationsabout emergent results and addressed borderline cases. Memos were kept throughout theanalytical process to document and make apparent the researchers’ perspectives.The qualitative

achievementHowever, most evaluation tools are developed by instructors. As such, the desired behaviorsas listed are top-down rather than bottom-up. How the students themselves are perceivingtheir own learning environment is vitally important to their persistence in engineering[12][14]. A second study suggests that, though many behaviors overlap, some aspects ofteammate behavior viewed as important to students are not reflected in most instructor-created peer assessments. This study lists eleven behavior components important toteammates in engineering education settings. The more unexpected components of poor teambehavior include expecting teammates to contribute beyond their “fair share”, beingunwilling to take on tasks beyond clearly articulated

For this stage, we used data fromthe 2016 cohort of RSAP, which included 91 students who participated in three different tracks:Europe (Italy, Switzerland, and Germany), China, and the Dominican Republic. Demographicinformation for this cohort is in Tables 2 and 3. In general, the program has larger representationof women and underrepresented students than the population of the College of Engineering(CoE), and the 2016 cohort is no different.

Using text from scales of engineeringself-efficacy and interest, we reflect on the pedagogical strategies for enhancing studentconfidence and interest which emerge from the lesson content. Then, as a second method forevaluating the impact of our lessons, we map changes in student self-efficacy and interest scoresreported before and after the soft robotics lessons. According to Wickham and Grolemund [18],these exploratory approaches offer insight that is not otherwise obtained. Along with morestructured statistical analysis which we have reported elsewhere, the content analysis andcharacterization of changes in student perceptions support the refinement of the curriculummoving forward.Soft

also adapted Ashford and Blacks [7] scales measuring proactive behaviors across six dimensions: (a) feedback seeking, (b) positive framing, (c) general socializing, (d) relationship building, (e) networking, and (f) information seeking [7]. Though these scales were developed to understand workplace socialization, we adapted them to reflect the context of engineering education. Then, to assess normative contexts, we developed a new five-question scale to explore students’ involvement in extra- and co-curricular activities. First, we ask students to list engineering-related organizations in which they participated. Second, and germane to the concept of socialization, we ask how students

and I like to do other things besides math.”The above excerpt, at a first glance, seems to contradict the value that Rebecca earlier expressedregarding intellectual performances. But we found the distance Rebecca sought to achieve from beingcategorized as an engineer reflected more of a desire for her individual agency rather than any disdain forengineering. This desire for agency was particularly heightened in light of her participation in engineeringas a woman. She described how others’ perception of her, in particular as a woman in engineering,invaded her individual sense of control of her choice to exist as an engineering major: I’m a girl so I think a lot of people [will say], “Good for you.” Sometimes it makes me feel

acknowledge that these groupings are narrow basedon the available data. Uneven population sizes from the resulting separation is due in part to themany students who had a neighborhood socioeconomic that was the same value as the quartilemedians. This challenge in data analysis alone emphasizes the need for study of low-socioeconomic students and their relatively few pathways into engineering. Students who attendcollege in engineering majors are surprisingly homogeneous in their neighborhood socioeconomicstatus. These groupings reflect the engineering student population, and thus provide informationon the types of attitudes toward and experiences with STEM that engineering students in a college-going population have by socioeconomic status in

suggest that institution type may providevaluable insight into student identity formation. A potential explanation for this result is the cultural differences in place at eachinstitution. Students at the HSI may attend college with the expectation that they are receiving adegree to pursue a very specific career (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degree to be anengineer”) while students at the PWI may attend college with the perspective that it will openmany different opportunities for them in the future (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degreebecause it will allow me to do many different things with my career”).

exit these models (p<0.001). Similarly,these students were over 70% less likely to exit the red classification (p<0.001). Studentsin soft applied fields were also less likely to exit the yellow classification (p<0.05), whileundeclared students were less likely to exit the red classification. The linear and non-linear predictors were significant for the yellow and red exit models, and like the yellowentry model, the coefficients suggest that the risk of exiting either model increases until amid-term point, tapers off, and then increases again towards the end of the semester. Thisfinding is likely explained by the weight of assignments during these periods of thesemester (midterm and final examinations), and thus, may simply reflect the

Engaging inthe engineering design process within education is intended as a way for youth to practiceencountering challenges and persevering through them to create a solution [4].Helping students learn about, and learn how to use, the engineering design process is a major aimof engineering education [5]. Engineering design is useful in practice because it allows studentsto make mental models concrete and offers time to make decisions, reflect, communicate, andcollaborate [6]. Additionally, understanding engineering design is important because the processis used by engineers in all professional fields [7]. Because of its prevalence among professionals,the process is key to

These results may be reflective of students who have low emotional stability, seek tofollow social norms and conventions, and have abilities to succeed in the “stress culture” ofengineering [63]. Grit-persistence of effort was related to the other affective constructs ofidentity, motivation, and belonging, but Grit-consistency of interest had a weak negativecorrelation with many of the stress indicators. This result may point to differential factors of howGrit may operate in engineering students when compared to the larger populations in which ithas been used previously, like psychology students and adults.

approaches with technical engineering skills. This requires anenhanced curriculum with a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social context,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. Effective faculty members need to mirror these values and skills intheir instruction and mentoring. Efforts have begun to reimagine the “engineering canon” whichrequires a shift from positioning engineering as a purely technical endeavor to framing it associo-technical. We are developing a new General Engineering program that incorporates thisperspective [30]. In addition, we are developing modules that emphasize the sociotechnicalnature of engineering for traditional
