. Thisfull paper explores the impact of self-paced and online Portable intercultural modules (PIMs) onthe intercultural learning goals of the students enrolled in a junior-level system thinking course.The PIM used in the class aims to improve learners’ teamwork and communication skills. ThePIM contains five activities, including watching videos about cultural diversity and empathy,survey, quizzes, and exercise that applies learning towards intercultural collaboration. The studentsin the system thinking course were asked to complete the PIM and a reflection assignment. Theresearch questions that we intend to answer for this study are: RQ1: What domains of interculturalcompetence, as defined by the AAC&U IKC Value rubric, are represented through

We assumed that our student participants (like the youthAmsden and VanWynsberghe engaged with) were seldom invited to shape the design ofprograms or engage in bottom-up critique. We created an iconographic mapping in lieu of acommunity map as an invitation to discuss/critique the whole gamut of places and people thatcomprised their experiences in the [engineering school].The iconographic map (see Figure 1) functioned much like a

We see an opportunity to extend panel discussions to have enduring impact bybroadly distributing the data synthesized during the panel discussions. The use of paneldiscussions as a research endeavor has the potential to broaden researchers' ways of knowing, yetknowledge transfer from panel conversations to peer-reviewed publications has to this point beenminimal.This paper highlights a methodology for analyzing panel discussions, discourse content, andpanelist reflection to produce research results

However,whether LGBTQ students experience self-concept or social fit may determine avoidancebehaviors that may ultimately lead them to abandon a STEM major and their STEM career goals.The disclosure of LGBTQ identity to others then reflects both higher self-concept fit and socialfit in that LGBTQ students can be their “true selves” in STEM environments and have theirLGBTQ identities validated by their peers. The decision to compartmentalize LGBTQ identitieswithin STEM environments reflects social identity threat posed by a lack of self-concept and/orsocial fit. Given what prior research has indicated about the LGBTQ climate in STEM, then,these environments would be expected to pose more social identity threat than many

Using this method,for the difficult dimension, the model learns to identify words that are more correlated withhigher difficulty ratings but not correlated with quality ratings.From these word lists, two of the authors manually annotated the words that were valid membersof the different dimensions based on fixed criteria. For example, the word “helping” would countas helpful but not clear because helpful words should reflect positive social behavior while clearwords indicate effective communication. Next, we adapt these lists to the original CCE dataset bycomputing the nearest neighbors to the words in each dimension, using word embeddings trainedon the CCE text data [22]. Computing

slowlyincreased (Cunninghame et al., 2016), this group still remains largely underrepresented in STEMdisciplines (Moon et al., 2012). This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).

The scaffolding to emphasize prototyping and adoption of aprototyping mindset may help as a pedagogical tool [33]. Artifacts that are created in thesecourses reflect tangible evidence of activity. From the idea to realization, there are means todescribe the role, purpose, and creation of prototypes. Gerber & Carroll [19] describe theconnection and process of prototype creation. Houde & Hill [20] discuss different types ofprototypes as what do prototypes prototype (function, looks-like).

It is important to remember that although this information would not be included in thefinal constructed narrative, its influence persists through the remainder of the data collection andinterpretation.Smoothing is inherently an iterative and reflective process that researchers often refine throughexperience [11].

Yet instructors might actively or passively notice the existence ofdysfunctional teams, where team dynamics were impaired, and team members developednegative attitudes towards one another [4-5]. Furthermore, in other situations, social loafingmight exist within student teams but sometimes hardly get instructors’ attention [6]. When suchsituations happen, the benefits of cooperative learning are compromised and at risk [7]. Scholars and practitioners have proposed ways of trainings to support student team success.Using Goal-Role-Process-Interpersonal-Relationship models, students wrote memos to reflect ontheir team dynamics and development [8].

However, engineers are often more familiar with quantitative methods and summarizingtheir findings using numbers [2], which substantially limits the use of qualitative methods.According to Jackson, Drummond, & Camara [3], the goal of qualitative research involves"understanding human beings' richly textured experiences and reflections about thoseexperiences" (p. 22). As engineers have become familiar with qualitative methodologies [1-2],researchers have begun to explore different types of approaches to illuminate the humanexperience. It is clear that different engineers, engineering students, and engineering facultyexperience their education and careers differently, which modern studies have only begun todescribe [4-6

Men more frequently defined the concept in terms that reflected Innate whereaswomen leaned on Experience in their definitions. Despite these differences in how engineeringintuition was defined, there was largely consensus in participants’ responses to how engineeringintuition is developed. All participants attributed the development of intuition either completelyor in part to Experience, underscoring the notion that intuition develops alongside expertise, asexpertise is largely developed through experience [8]-[12
