cursive font, can reveal the student's identity. This will be more pronounced if multiple exams are taken by the student or if the student has the same instructor in multiple classes. 2) Sample size: The classes we considered had around 40 students. After splitting the class into control and test groups, the number of students in some demographics was low. 3) Nature of the course taught: We employed this technique for courses in the chemical engineering major. A wider outreach with more courses in other majors will provide a comprehensive look at the problem.Future ConsiderationsWe are pursuing several avenues of future research in this project. We outline some of our futurework below.Improvement of the Anonymous
’ experiences in engineering (e.g., Figard & Carberry, 2023; Figard etal., 2023b; Figard et al., 2023c), this paper expands on the nuanced complexities surroundingidentity within the disabled engineering community by addressing the following researchquestion: How do disabled women in engineering degree programs describe the intersections oftheir marginalized identities, as they relate to their educational experiences?Methods The findings presented in this paper are a subset of a larger project and data collectioneffort that focuses more broadly on the experiences of disabled engineering students. Morecomplete methodological details can be found in (Figard et al., 2023b; Figard et al., 2024).1 Identity-first language is used in this paper to
students in the dataset with identities underrepresented in STEM. Questions of how to moveadditional types of engineering curricula online, how to support underrepresented students inSTEM, and how to provide an engaging learning experience in Ecampus curricula are popular butin-progress areas of engineering education research. The outcomes from our project can help tolay the groundwork for more broad and theoretical investigation into these important but complexpedagogical questions.References[1] Alhazbi, S., & Hasan, M.

whatpredictor parameters are important and which ones do not affect the outcome. The initial workaims to identify key predictors for high-accuracy predictions using a reduced dataset available,as well as help identify and test more prediction factors used in the literature. Through futureiterations of our model, we aim to further improve prediction accuracy by incorporatingadditional predictor data and increasing the student pool available for such analyses. Earlyidentification of students at risk of changing or dropping from the program will enabletargeted intervention and improve their chances of success. These initial iterations will serveas benchmarks, with the ultimate validation of our project relying on the performance of theAI model with data

During the study, t-tests were performed on the two cohorts to search for significantdifferences between the groups in terms of performance on major assessments. These assessmentswere chosen because they were uniform for both cohorts. Only homework and quizzes completedby the Top Hat cohort required the use of significant digits, whereas the Traditional cohort didnot have to use significant digits in both the calculation and reporting of their answers for theirassigned homework and quizzes. These two groups were also involved in a second study involvingtheir course project, therefore the project was removed from the calculation of their final gradeprior to the data being analyzed.For consistency of all

may be doing more than just supporting howstudents believe they belong in engineering spaces but also in how they are seen and seethemselves as engineers. The participants illustrated how recognition from faculty throughrespect and disrespect was impactful in how they felt seen as engineers and navigating futurestudent-faculty relationships. If engineering education is going to answer calls to supportengineering identity development curricular and programmatically, changes will need to considerfeatures that support students beyond specific classroom assignments or projects. Engineeringfaculty serve as people already embedded in engineering communities who may help guidestudents into this community by making them feel like they do or do not
validation, pragmatic validation, ethical validation, process reliability). Waltherand colleagues’ [26] quality framework draws attention to the pervasiveness of validationthroughout the entirety of a research project, and they offer six validation types to provideguidance for promoting research quality. We take up these quality considerations in theremainder of the study, but first we briefly offer ways of operationalizing the key phrases weinvestigate herein.Operationalizing “Engineering Ethics” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”In this study, we introduce and interrogate two concerted terms or phrases: (1) EngineeringEthics and (2) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). We do not presuppose how participantsought to define these terms, but
participation in creative projects, and student-teacher engagement.Additional benefits of incorporating social media into education include the ability to followclasses from anywhere at any time and the best possible interaction with the material throughpeer debate and opinion sharing [17]. In addition to students engaging and exchanginginformation with subject-topic professionals through social media, using them in engineeringclassrooms can improve discussion quality, boost student participation, and promoteindependent learning [18, 19]. Similarly, studies analyzed social media data using Twitterhashtags on activist campaigns for increasing gender equality in the engineering sector [20].Despite the advantages SMPs’ interactive learning environment

The survey also included several shortanswer questions, one of which is analyzed in this study: “What one action can your TAs at take
–particularly Latinos/as/xs – have been perceived as disruptive elements of theAmericanization project [1]. Latinos/as/xs have been framed as individuals that are unable tosucceed in academic spaces because of inherent deficits and thus unable to accommodate tothe demands of American exceptionalism [2]. Engineering is no exception to this deficitframing of Latinos/as/xs. In fact, engineering has a long history of discrimination towardminoritized groups that is still present today in engineering programs [3]. For instance,Latino/a/x engineering students still contend with the enduring repercussions of deficitideologies, racialization, and a process of assimilation through subtractive schooling [4, 5].Engineering has, too, embraced an educational

The TMCT is a tactile testing instrument that is intended to measure andquantify both spatial visualization and spatial relational capabilities of the BLV population. Afteranalyzing pilot TMCT participant score data, our research team decided to increase the utility ofthe TMCT by splitting the original format of the 25-questions into two parallel subtests (A & B),each containing 12 questions.
