Both because of more available and accessibledigital fabrication tools and a rise on maker-based pedagogy, such educational approaches areprogressing past just learning experiences that are project-based but more and more one canrealize a functional and desirable product (in addition to the underlying technology). This greateravailability of rapid prototyping and maker spaces can support these types of learningexperiences, allowing student teams more access to holistically imagine, design, and morereadily build their solutions. The more authentically these learning experiences can be curatedand staged by instructors, the more meaningful and useful such courses can

research paper synthesizes findings from two research grants studyingHyFlex instruction in a first-year design course. “HyFlex” is a method providing students with autonomy toparticipate in person or online and, in many cases, fluidly blends the two based on the instructor or students'individual needs. While HyFlex is not new, it has become more feasible since COVID, as technologies haveimproved and cultural acceptance of remote work has evolved. Our two funded projects have resulted in avariety of specific research studies that are published in papers.

This study seeks to address the gap in knowledge about graduate-level creativitythrough a thematic analysis of five semi-structured interviews with engineering graduatestudents. These interviews are part of a larger mixed-methods research project with the goal ofcharacterizing the creative climate of graduate-level engineering education. In the interviews, weasked participants about their creative endeavors, how they define creativity, and theirperceptions of creativity within engineering.

Fifteen collaborators participated insemi-structured interviews, which were analyzed based on the four foundational components ofGEAR. Key findings indicate that the absence of a clear governance structure, siloeddecision-making, and communication challenges impacted the early phase of the project. Thestudy emphasizes the importance of inclusive collaboration in conducting equity-focused workand provides insights for other Alliances seeking to promote diversity and equity in STEMfields. Implications for the Alliance include adopting the GEAR approach more widely, forminga working group to address communication

challenges they will address(Leijon, Gudmundsson, Staaf, and Christersson, 2022). Since problem-based learning has been effective in learning and improving CT skills(Ulger, 2018), it is always recommended to be utilized within the projects and assign-ments of engineering education. Based on these definitions, the challenging feature ofproblems can impact the student’s critical thinking though they are completely dif-ferent concepts. That is our main motivation to investigate this issue and recommendapproaches to distinguish these two terms for instructors and students of computer andsoftware engineering courses.

understanding of student experiences across sites ofwork, and to protect students in meaningful ways.IntroductionConducting research that involves students is fraught with ethical and justice concerns: are thestudents being coerced? Are the students worried that they’ll be punished for something theysay? Will students feel pressured to participate? These questions are amplified when the studentsat hand are from marginalized and minoritized groups and when those students are asked tospeak about their experiences within the classroom. Scholars across engineering education havebuilt projects that report out on student experiences, and all of these implicitly or explicitlysuggest that ethnically and racially minoritized (ERM) students experience trauma

Engineering education plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of engineersand scientists (Agrawal & Harrington-Hurd, 2016; Brothy et al., 2008). Given its importance,research studies have sought practical ways to improve engineering education practices acrossmultiple dimensions (Crawley et al., 2007; Litzinger et al., 2011; Pizarro, 2018). Among theseefforts, there has been a long-lasting and ongoing focus on project- and team-based learning inSTEM and engineering education research (Felder & Brent, 2016; Kolar & Sabatini, 1996;Wankat & Oreovicz, 2014). Researchers found that project- and team-based learning practiceslead to favorable learning outcomes and behaviors, as well as effective cognitive and non-cognitive
