Research points to several contributing factors which play arole in improving student learning during engineering design experiences, including the impactof active, project-based, and hands-on learning methodologies, and the development of a sense ofcommunity and a peer support network23, 43-45. Cooperative learning approaches that are hands-on and interactive are particularly appealing to underrepresented students 46-49.

allow as little as half a year. WhenEC 2000 abandoned credit-hour bean counting, the language shifted to require “adequateattention and time” for general education subjects (while retaining numerical requirements of ayear for fundamental science and math courses and a year and a half of engineering content).Nevertheless, regardless of whether one casts EC 2000’s advancements for liberal education ofengineers as meager, incremental, or transformative, there is no doubt that the current proposedchanges, by omitting the requirement of “adequate attention and time” for educational breadth,drops the floor on well-rounded education of engineers. This change threatens to send thecountry back not just 20 years to the 1990s before EC 2000, but more than

Similar to theevaluative frameworks, we found that all of the socially situated activities we identified wereused by engineers from both disciplines. For example, these activities include troubleshootingroot cause(s) of failure and multimodal communication as shown in Figure 2.In discerning relationships between the three layers of literacy practices (i.e., genres,frameworks, and socially situated activities) shown in Figure 2, we noticed two things. First, thegenres that an engineer chose to engage with were mediated by the interpretive or evaluativeframework they were

Thisdecision was also a result of the authors’ interest on SVS literature and the successful experienceof offering a pilot face-to-face (FTF) training on campus to improve SVS for 6 talented, low-income students in an NSF S-STEM scholarship program in Spring ’14. Previous studies in theSVS subject [1], [2], [3] report that well-developed SVS lead to students’ success in Engineeringand Technology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Computer Aided Design and Mathematics.Bairaktarova et al.

Factual consistency evaluateswhether each meaning unit in the summary is backed up by the qualitative data. Importantly, wealso added whether information found in the source qualitative data is represented in thesummary. Comprehensiveness evaluates the extent to which the summary reached thecomprehensiveness of the source qualitative data [6]. We dropped “harmfulness” from Tang et al.’s evaluation scheme since the data in this project does not have the clear physiological harms inthe biomedical studies.

Similar to other graduate students within ESED, participant 4 brings theirdisciplinary expertise into the L&L space; which melds with the language from other STEM disciplines, resulting in a richmethod of communicating research to people in and outside of the space.

However, research hasfound that a lack of sense of belonging is a determinant factor in a student’s decision to leaveengineering [12]. The relationships a student develops with their peers, teachers, and faculty canaffect that sense, influencing student performance, well-being, and the decision to stay/leave theirengineering program [13, 12]. The students who appear to have greater difficulty with their senseof belonging are those who are often underrepresented in the STEM/Engineering field(s), such aswomen or students with minoritized racial/ethnic identities [10

Eachhypothesis needs to be tested and verified to see whether it is a cause for the failure. If possiblecauses are rejected, new possibilities are generated and tested. Final cause(s) are formed out of aspace of possibilities. To complete troubleshooting, corrective action is taken to eliminate thecause(s) by either repairing or replacing relevant physical components. These tasks are shownusing a flowchart in Figure 1. Similar recursive models with functionally identical tasks wereintroduced in other studies and manuals [6].While troubleshooting is a sought-after skill in industry, traditional mechanical
