He said “If youbelieve what the people are telling you, it will crush you.” Keep fighting. Everyone has had apunch in the face. Don’t give up. Steve noted that in an ever changing world, it is important to bea lifelong learner and to always be ethical. Wayne noted that several of the people he grew upwith got engineering degrees, got their doctorate, and returned to Appalachia. These people serveas examples of what Appalachian people can achieve. Wayne echoed Gage’s sentiment thatAppalachian engineering students can’t go in half-heartedly. They must give 100%.Limitations and Future Work This study was conducted as a

academic work ethic [20], [21], [22], studentnetworks [23], and mentor guidance[24], [25], [26]. Using CCW is an avenue to conduct asset-based research, which highlights the strengths of students rather than weaknesses. This criticaland assets-based approach makes explicit the strengths and assets of communities, in this casewithin makerspaces. CCW can frame the experiences of students who might not always be seenthrough an explicit and purposeful focus on assets they bring into the space. This is apersonalized approach to understand the student staff’s experience as opposed to the neutraloutputs of their experience such as what they are creating or how many machines they are usingin the space.Research Question: What are the assets student staff

They are asking the research question because the meaning is unclearand requires new data and interpretation to provide meaning. At the same time, a qualitativehypothesis may still exist at a higher level: even that “X type of data about Y topic/phenomenonfrom P participants will generate meaningful answers to my research question.” Then, the DataCollection stage requires clear, ethical (e.g., IRB approved, if including human participants), andstructured data generation just as quantitative research; however, qualitative data comprises wordsor

According to Margot & Kettler [27], while PreK-12 teachers valued STEM education,they reported challenges on the structural and institutional level, pedagogy, assessment, andconcerns over students. Yet such challenges can be overcome. Research has shown that preservice teachersbenefit from improved STEM engagement, especially emotional engagement, after participatingin the robotics unit in a teacher preparation course [28]. Practice integrating technology-relevantactivities using robots boosted participants’ confidence and knowledge (of teaching practice,safety, and ethical issues) and their likelihood

At the group level, it is about the civic virtues and the institutions that move individuals toward better citizenship: responsibility, nurturance, altruism, civility, moderation, tolerance, and work ethic” (p. 5).With the conceptualization of this study through positive psychology, we attempt to be able toknow about the positive role the institutions can play to support an overall environment ofwellbeing and thriving for undergraduate engineering students. We argue that if institutions canprovide such an environment, the MHW of engineering undergraduates can be improved to suchan extent that the possibility of ending up with mental problems may be lessened.4

We expectstandards adopted by an EER team could be related to data quality/validation, disciplinary norms,research ethics, stakeholder requirements, or standards specifically applicable to that team. Whilewithin an idealized knowledge generating community, the standards would be shared among allmembers of the team, we anticipate that on EER teams there may be certain standards that are notshared across the team or present in different ways from one

Computationalthinking, with its focus on algorithmic problem-solving, is a vital skill for engineers [9]. Integratingcomputational skills early and regularly in engineering curricula has been shown to improvestudent outcomes [10]. Similarly, we propose that incorporating data skills throughout thecurriculum can also strengthen engineering formation.Data skills refer to the ability to collect, organize, analyze, visualize, and communicate dataeffectively and ethically. Engineering students practice data skills in various assignments, such asconducting experiments, designing solutions, and evaluating results. These assignments mirror thereal-world

Therefore, we plan to factor in students’ efforts whenpredicting their course performance.One of the best ways to measure how much a student cares about their academic performance isto analyze their participation in the class [1, 10, 11]. A discussion forum is a platform that enablesstudents to seek help from their peers and instructors. Multiple studies have focused on producingand analyzing the statistical correlation between discussion forum data and student courseperformance [11, 12, 13].

assessment;artificial intelligence in educationIntroduction Research indicates that college and engineering students often lack essential skills requiredby employers, such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership, emotionalintelligence, and social ethics [1], [2]. This gap between college preparation and career demands isparticularly evident in the engineering field, where technical knowledge is prioritized over softskills like creativity, innovation, leadership, management, and teamwork [3]. Moreover, the shiftfrom traditional instruction to skill-based curricula has gained momentum in educational settingsto center the learner in education. This approach encourages students to engage in hands-onactivities, problem

Through her work, she aims to empower students, fostering an environment where they actively shape their communication interactions, including teamwork and ethical discussions. By integrating these principles, she goes beyond traditional methods, ensuring that students not only learn but also take an active role in shaping their communication experiences.Dr. Christie Stewart, Georgia
