Paper ID #37577Understanding Environmental Factors in Academic Honesty AwarenessTowards a Better Interpretation of Plagiarism via Turnitin SimilarityScoresDr. Mireia Perera-Gonzalez, Northeastern University Mireia Perera-Gonzalez is a recent Ph.D. graduate in Bioengineering at Northeastern University, Boston, MA. She found herself calling at the intersection of becoming a doctor and an engineer in the discipline of biomedical engineering, motivated by the thought of helping others whilst also creating a meaning- ful impact in healthcare. Mireia obtained a BS in Biomedical Engineering from Carlos III University of Madrid
development.We have developed and assessed an FLC model to support curricular and instructional change, aspart of a sustainable faculty development program. In this paper, we describe how this three-yearFLC was designed to promote entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) for our students anddeveloped into a transdisciplinary EML and design CoP. The FLC outcomes were based on theframework developed by the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) and fundedthrough a three-year grant from the Kern Family FoundationWe advanced our FLC model through three iterations and adapted it to the needs of our faculty,while also dealing with constraints from the COVID pandemic. To lower barriers to facultyparticipation, we designed our program to take place
-termchallenges and operating in reactionary mode. There was a sense of cultural decay, as leadersstruggled to notice what the organization was doing well. The dean, his executive team, and theDirector of Leadership Development began to lay plans for a concerted, systemic leadershipdevelopment program that would help College leaders to remember and imagine the organizationat its best, with its strengths at the forefront of their minds. Carrying these goals, the leadershipdirector then partnered with a positive leadership external consultant to produce a year-long,research-based Michigan Engineering Positive Leadership Program, driven by several questions:What kind of culture do we hope to create with the engineering leaders? How can we focus onthe
mentoring practicesAbstractThis full research paper discusses the experiences of five Latiné/x faculty in engineering andwhat motivated them towards developing equity-minded educational practices for theirundergraduate students. The five faculty participants provided written reflections on how theirlife and professional experiences have informed said practices. From a social constructionismparadigm and using narrative inquiry methodology, a combination of in vivo and descriptivecoding (first cycle) followed by emergent and focused coding (second cycle) were used by thefirst three authors to generate a codebook. The theoretical frameworks of Community CulturalWealth, LatCrit, and Hidden Curriculum guided the data analysis and interpretation
ofpersuasion [3]. While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3
for improving problemsolving in engineering mechanics; (4) Extended Reality Enhancements to the Thermal SciencesCurriculum; and (5) Hands-on, minds-on, and game-based learning for Solid MechanicsCurriculum. Cohort 1 was primarily composed of Academic Professional Track (APT) Facultywhose primary role in the department was teaching. Of these, a majority of proposals were in themechanics and materials areas but not many in the thermal sciences and dynamics and controlsareas. A conscious effort was made in year 2 to recruit faculty in these areas; thus cohort 2consisted of about 7-8 Tenure track faculty in areas related to thermal sciences and mechanics.They were paired with APT faculty so that there was a mix of different faculty in each team
an opportunity for research that can guideimplementation of ungrading and thus enable other scholarship.With the above context in mind, this evidence-based practice paper asks: 1) how do educatorsimplement ungrading in engineering courses? 2) what do educators vary in order to adaptungrading to their unique educational contexts? 3) how can we characterize the pedagogicaldesign space of radical or non-traditional grading schemes? We ask these questions as we do inorder to situate our work as a research through design effort, specifically the approach advocatedby Gaver (2012) in which a set of design solutions are interrogated to determine their invariancesas well as the dimensions of variation. In framing our effort as research through design
