MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change.

, lack of free study resources, and limitedinvestment by students in studying. The survey respondents “expressed the need for a creditedFE review course to relieve the burden of identifying and accessing study materials, self-teachingexam content not covered in courses, and reserving studying time on top of large course loads.”The survey also revealed the students’ need to have sufficient access to exam preparationmaterial and knowledge of the exam process. The lack of visible department-provided studymaterial might be why many students rely on external study materials such as Youtube videosand the NCEES practice exam.To the authors' best knowledge, there is no study evaluating the impact of SDLMs to preparestudents to take the FE exam in
’ impacts on sense of belonging across genderIntroductionThis complete evidence-based practice paper examines the extent to which targeted curricularand co-curricular activities impact first-year students’ sense of belonging in engineering, andwhether these impacts differ by gender identity. The study used a quasi-experimental, mixedmethods design wherein quantitative and qualitative data were collected from first-year studentparticipants in a grant-funded scholarship program (Scholars – the “treatment” group), withquantitative data also collected from a matched group of first-year students who were notprogram participants (Comparison group).

Our chemical engineeringdepartment has structured the core curriculum for the last 20 years in a series of six sequencedPillar courses (5-6 credits) [1], [2], [3], [4], five of them with a companion lab course (1 creditunit) [5], and the capstone process design course integrated with a course on Ethics and Safety (2credits). In order to directly and quantitatively assess the achievement of these student outcomes,competency is measured in a variety of required courses across our curriculum using variousassignments

These models include fixed effects (such asthe presence or absence of a ban - that is, a variable that can only attain certain values) andrandom effects (such as the cumulative qualities of different states that impact the outcomes inthat state differently from other states).For each gender-racialized category (2 genders x 5 racial categories = 10 fits), several MLMswere fit to the data for all 6 states, and the best model was determined by the lowest BayesianInformation Criterion (BIC). The BIC approach considers how well the model fits the data, butpenalizes for each additional factor added to the model. This

In this study, we seek to identify the specificways engineering faculty at an elite university have refined their traditional face-to-face coursesbased on their experiences during the remote teaching phase of the pandemic.MethodsThe participants for this study were limited to faculty within the College of Engineering at theGeorgia Institute of Technology. To achieve a sufficiently large sample size of participants and togain initial insights to changes in teaching, a survey-based study was designed. The survey
videos, presentations, andadditional written materials which compose a “EM in Research 101” package. This “EM inResearch 101” package will address common questions students have about engaging in researchas well as introduce EM 101 concepts in the context of research. The series of videos will beprofessionally produced. These videos will be short, inviting, and targeted to addressing keyresearch and EM topics as well as sparking a passion for impactful work. Written materials mayinclude reflection exercises and group modules utilizing EML for giving students a sense of howand why engineers conduct research.The goal of Efficient Team Training is to make research training more efficient, fosterentrepreneurial-minded thinking through well-designed
promotion and tenure process.Within the library, more money could be allocated to course reserves, though this is unlikely tobe the most sustainable solution. Between the library and the school of engineering, the mostequitable and long-term solution would require investing both time and money in developingopen and accessible textbooks and course materials. Overall, the focus should be on empoweringstudent’s learning, and ensuring they have access to the materials they need to meet their learningoutcomes.Future ResearchAdditional directions for research include a faculty facing survey regarding what factorsprofessors consider when choosing texts, or a study that follows the textbook expenses ofindividual engineering students and the impacts of that
converging to select an application, called solution mapping [7]. Althoughsolution mapping practices are demonstrated in several fields within engineering, engineeringstudents have limited exposure and training in solution mapping as their curriculum mainlyfocuses on problem-first design processes. As a result, limited evidence-based design strategiesand tools are available to support curriculum development and training for our students.Using design strategies is important in supporting engineers to adopt evidence-based approachesto achieve design success [11]–[15]. In this study, we examined cognitive strategies used byengineering practitioners for solution mapping. Recent engineering studies have focused ondeveloping best design practices to

The general results showed that students gainedvaluable skills and a strong sense of belonging in our College. Students’ praise for each other,their instructors, the undergraduate learning assistants, and the graduate teaching assistants wasparticularly satisfying, because it matched our student-centered priorities, and our framingassumptions that the best learning and engineering happens in healthy communities.
