Taiwan there are notsufficient instructors who are trained and motivated. These inadequate course designs andsystematic limitations lead to a lack of understanding of the relationship between technologyand society and a lack of systematic thinking among science and engineering students. Thissituation limits students’ ability to think about their professional skills, future employment,ethical responsibilities, and other issues in a global context.1Cultivating “global competency” in a divided worldWe also witnessed an educational reform in engineering education curriculum worldwide. In2018, China began the New Engineering Education and Excellent Engineer Education andTraining Plan as the cornerstone of its national engineering program. In May 2021

Different intuitions correspond to each of the foundations. Moral foundations resultfrom biological evolution and aim at human survival [40].

the traditional faculty advising role. These staffmembers provide guidance on study plans, pre-requisites, and other logistical degreerequirements to help facilitate graduation, but often do not develop deep human relationshipswith students the way a faculty-advisor relationship can develop [18]. A recent study by Gauleand Piacentini [19] found that female Ph.D. students in chemistry paired with female advisorswere both more productive and more likely to become faculty themselves. This seems to be aninteresting strategy to combat the under-representation of women in science and engineering andbreak the cycle of attrition of female students. The researcher has plans to pilot the genderpairing of advisors for the Fall 2023 cohort of

One of these three courses is the Professional Planning with Spatial Visualization coursewhich implements the Sorby’s Developing Spatial Thinking curriculum. This paper addresses thequestion: What are the effects of the spatial thinking curriculum on the spatial abilities of low-income sophomore summer scholars?Students take the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Visualization of Rotations (PSVT:R) and theRevised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT) as a pre- and post-assessment for thisprogram. The PSVT:R is traditionally administered as a pre/post assessment of spatialvisualization in engineering majors. In this work, it was chosen to assess knowledge

Translating the ethicaldimensions to questions allows instructors to more easily think through the tool, since the timeinvolved in course planning is often a limiting factor to whether an instructor successfullyintegrates new ideas into their classroom practice.Using the toolIn the course of either creating or revising a course, an instructor can work through the eightdimensions, considering the questions and the examples provided to find ideas for their owncourses. Not every course will incorporate all eight dimensions. An initial goal of one or twochanges is a

For faculty and staff, the University has set in place arequired DEI Training Component for performance plans, which can include EverFi training,among other activities.The NC State College of Engineering desired to provide additional attention to the importance ofdiversity for engineers. Desiring to maximize effectiveness, in-person training was selected,despite the difficulty of enforcing a required in-person training for thousands of students. As afirst step, a diversity, equity, and inclusion module was designed for use during new studentorientation. This module consisted of a 45-minute session led by engineering DEI

The games were designed to work with anexisting inquiry oriented curriculum and demonstrated that games can be successfully integratedwith inquiry oriented pedagogy. In the next steps we plan to run a mixed-methods basedproficiency measuring study that looks at students of linear algebra from multiple demographics(novice/experienced; undergraduates/pre-service teachers) and collect data on decision choicesmade in both the bunny and pirate games. We are particularly interested in learning how thedecisions evolve with game repetition and if

surveys will be taken to understand how the faculty understand their positionality, what they have learned during their participation in the professional development experience, and how they plan to continue the work beyond the professional development experience. A few faculty will also take part in an interview where they will be asked in greater detail about their experiences in the professional development experience and their viewpoints on the teaching and learning experiences of MS in STEM. To answer the third question, the students of the participating faculty will be asked to complete their course evaluations which will include questions that inform the work of the grant to measure the extent to which their

During the intense three-week training, the firstbarrier students faced was to collaborate with a team of students with diverse backgrounds,interests, and grade years, both online and in-person. This requires students to quickly learn andmaster team capabilities, to take initiatives and be bold, be able to motivate and inspire others, aswell as to plan ahead and allocate resources and time smartly. The unique mentoring system withacademic, industry, and onsite mentors addressed the challenge commonly faced by PBLmentors, where the three mentors serve as the three pillars to

Researchers have worked to identify predictors of STEM persistence,both before matriculation and after. A student’s level of academic success before matriculation isa strong predictor of STEM persistence. These predictors include standardized test scores andtaking calculus in high school [9], [10].Research has found that, after matriculation, a student’s likelihood to complete an undergraduatedegree was linked to a student’s level of academic and social integration.
