identified by the other model. The GPT-4 model tended to identifymore basic relationships, while manual analysis identified more nuanced relationships.Our results do not currently support using GPT-4 to automatically generate graphicalrepresentations of faculty’s mental models of assessments. However, using a human-in-the-loopprocess could help offset GPT-4’s limitations. In this paper, we will discuss plans for our futurework to improve upon GPT-4’s current performance.IntroductionAssessments are found in every engineering classroom and are an important part of our educationsystem [1]-[3]. Assessments play many different roles, including understanding studentimprovements in learning [4], acting as a tool to assist students with learning [5], [6

Continued collaboration thenleads to the fourth stage, Performing. At this stage, all members understand the expertise,position, working style, and personality of everyone to a certain degree. In addition, the teamcould prevent or even harvest from potential conflicts with constructive conversations.Adjourning is the last stage and refers to the period of time when the team disbands or finishesthe project [11-12].

I decided to go back to school again for the lasttime in 2021 and have been in school since then.In the Summer of 2023, I was contacted by Dr. Jaafar, with the opportunity of undertakingundergraduate research with his mentorship. I was given the grant proposal to go over to find outif I would be interested. The proposal also provided an idea of what would be expected from me,and what the research goals were. I accepted the offer since I felt that it would be beneficial tome, especially since I intend to further my studies after graduation. I also felt that my experiencedoing research in industry would help me in this regard. I was excited to start work on

These approaches shift the power relationships traditionally established ininterview settings and allowed student participants to shape the direction of their interviews andstorytelling.In this paper, we first describe the central ethical and justice challenges to soliciting andengaging BIPOC students in research about their experiences. After describing the goals of thestudy, we explain two key strategies that allowed us to address these challenges in our datacollection: 1) Use of boundary objects to elicit participants narratives, and 2) the integration ofparticipatory urban planning methods.We show sample data sets to explain the ways our methods provided opportunities to learn morefrom students, to gain a comprehensive

Network Analysis (ENA)One possible strategy for analyzing the connections between these frame elements is ENA, amethod that uses coded data to find temporal connections between ideas within an individual orcommunity. Each of these codes are represented as a node in the network, and edges betweennodes represent the strength of an individual or community’s connection between those twocodes. For example, epistemic network analysis has been used to investigate how engineeringidentity emerges as students participate in a medical device company simulation [12], howstudents develop an epistemic frame when completing an urban planning simulation [13], andhow engineering values and epistemology emerge as students participate in a four-weekengineering

Starkalso created the Contextual Filters Model that provides an overview of the various contexts thatinfluence course planning for college faculty (Lattuca & Stark, 2011; Stark, 2000; Stark et al.,1988). A study by Lund and Stains examines unique environments and contexts of departmentsin influencing STEM faculty’s teaching practices and finds that disciplinary differences exist andhave shown potential associations to level of adoption of evidence-based instructional practices(2015).

In combination, the results suggest that forstudents who do not initially identify as STEM career-bound, afterschool programming may notnecessarily promote preparation for STEM careers due to an accumulation of weak math andscience school experiences and other socio-environmental influences.Index terms: engineering, high school, math self-efficacy, minoritized students, urban education I.

Multilingual Board GameIntroductionSerious games are a category of games that are often used in education to provide access tocomplex systems. In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

intentions foreshadow behaviors [15].Collaborating with Ajzen at the University of Illinois, the pair introduced subjective norms toincorporate how social dynamics affect intentionality, which culminating in the Theory ofReasoned Action (TRA) in 1980 [22]. The TRA’s usage spurred further studies into beliefs,norms, and behavioral expectations [23], [24]. In the mid-1980s, Ajzen extended the TRA’sapplicability with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) [25], [26], [27], incorporatingperceived outcome control and other behavioral models [28], [29], [30].

Responses for S-STEM and non-S-STEM students were similar. Surveyrespondents shared that earning potential and job security were among the reasons they chose aSTEM major. When asked about individuals or experiences that encouraged their interest ordevelopment in STEM, multiple survey respondents indicated that their interest in STEM wasdue to their academic preparation or in some way inherent and indicative of their innate abilitiesand

Students’ engagement in their field as wellas their plans to pursue an engineering career or engineering graduate education is determined inpart by an alignment between their personal and professional interests and values in engineeringand curricular messages about what engineering practice includes. For some students, thepotential to leverage engineering for social good is a key motivation for pursuing work in thefield [12

In this paper, we focus on student responses tothe following survey questions: “What are barriers that might prevent you from taking the next coursein this sequence?” and “What makes you feel good about your plans to take the next course in thissequence?” Each of the participating courses serves as a prerequisite course for at least one subsequentcourse (for example: Intro to CS I is a prerequisite for Intro to CS II).We address the
