impact context, and we can use 16 items to measureit. Although the development of instruments in this paper is a pilot study, it has some important implicationsfor future research. First, the instrument can be used to evaluate the authenticity level for engineeringlearning in communities of practice. Besides, many new engineering initiatives such as PBL andExperiential learning have focused on the creation of authentic learning contexts. So future research canuse the instrument to make a further understanding of the authenticity in different kinds of engineeringlearning situations. Additionally, previous research have demonstrated the importance of authentic learningin some design-based learning environments like engineering education [30], but

Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hsu’s research interests include advanced quantitative design and analysis and their applications in STEM education, large-scale assessment data (e.g., PISA), and engineering students’ perception of faculty en- couragement and

Here we primarilyfocus on the experiences of three students who were directly involved in our data collectionefforts. One undergraduate student engaged with one field site (a utility company, “UtilityCo”)through job shadowing and informal interviewing, while two graduate students collected data asparticipant observers at a second site (a small software start-up, “SoftCo”). In this paper, ourprimary research objective is to examine how these three students experienced their roles

, they also set the trajectory for what will be discoveredthrough the research enterprise. The tension of practicality alongside knowledge generation ispalpable in engineering research work, as engineering scientists often balance and blendpostpositivist and naturalistic approaches. Due to the applied nature of engineering research,engineering research work often takes a pragmatic approach, employing whatever epistemic andmethodological modes seem to best answer the question presented [54].Engineering Research FundingFunding availability and source hold a salient position in all threads of research work, and it is nodifferent for engineering.

Researchers need torecognize that integrating STEM and robotics content in teachers’ curricula may not be as simpleand intuitive as it appears and will require conscious and consistent efforts on their side, whichshould be very much appreciated. At first sight, such connections may seem naive and furtherreify the gendered nature of STEM. But it is a critical first step for our informants to think aboutrobotic integration in their classroom and make the robotic experience relevant for their students.We understand that how our informants experience and

in whiteness and maleness [63], [64]. Whenwork exclusively considers engineering broadly, programmatic and curricular practices may bedeveloped that also support this narrow interpretation of interest and identity. Almost allparticipants mention an interest outside of engineering, fewer described this interest with adegree of commitment, and even fewer actually integrated this interest by pursuing it throughclasses, a minor, or a double major. A key reason for not doing so was the limitations of time intheir program and the fear it would impact their graduation time or cost them too much money.However, many participants had a math minor despite the lack of connection between it and theirinterests or goals.
