students discussed whichfoot type to use for the foot adaptation component of the survival suit design. The first instanceof EBR stated by Sean was also coded functionality because he explicitly referred to hisknowledge that human feet would work in the snowy conditions. The second instance of EBRwas coded technology, since Samuel justified his counterargument by referring to an existingtechnology, shoes. He used his prior knowledge about existing technologies to point out a flaw inhis teammate’s argument that human feet would be the best option for the survival suit.Example related to colors and camouflageIn addition to the choice of the survival suit covering material, students also had to choose whichcolor(s) to make the exterior of their suit
presenting the total externalwork and total strain energy equations beginning first with a single load P applied to a planartruss with one load sequence. Then loads P and Q are applied using two load sequences in whichthe load Q is applied at the location and in the direction of the desired displacement. From thisbasis of understanding, an additional load S is included in both load sequences to discuss itsinfluence on the displacement expression. This leads to a general understanding of the influencethat any number of additional loads would have on the displacement expression, and that theeffect of the load Q remains unchanged as these loads are applied. It then becomes evident thatBarry T. Rossonthe desired displacement due to all the applied loads

’, ‘behavior’ and ‘function’ as wellas similarly named and closely related concepts (such as “form and function”) for describingaspects of design. I have chosen to use the terms Structure (S), Function (F) and Activity (A) anddefine them as follows.Designers apply functional intentions (F) to abstract structures of instruction architecture (S) byexecuting a variety of instructional design activities (A). These structures, functions andactivities are different abstract domains or layers of the design process; each domain capturessome aspect of design decisions. The usage of these terms will be illustrated by an example.Technical content changes rapidly and constantly but the professor has no control of that changeprocess and cannot make design
engineering is a young discipline. Although the term “software engineering” wascoined in 1968, development of the first undergraduate programs in the discipline did not beginin the United States until the mid to late 1990’s. The first software engineering programsdeveloped in the United States were not baccalaureate programs. Early programs were focusedat the graduate level, working with students who already had a base of knowledge in computerscience. Although there were isolated courses in software engineering offered at someinstitutions as early as the mid-1980’s, it was not until the early to mid-1990’s that softwareengineering concepts began filtering into undergraduate programs. Sometimes these conceptswere incorporated into computer engineering

There is a sense that all the courses led tothis moment and now it can be applied to building an actual process. And yet control is the subjectarguably most critical to a graduating chemical engineer that most likely will have a first industrialjob as a process engineer. What does a process engineer do? Well, she is responsible formaintaining a process of unit operation(s) to run at specified conditions 7 days a week, 24 hours aday. Yes, she is essentially doing control. Look again at Figure 1.

Dominant images create expectations about how individuals in that location aresupposed to act or behave. In this … concept of culture, the image remains the same over aperiod of time, while individual or

These studieshave measured level of involvement as either number of activities or number of hours involved inactivities [58], [63], [64].

: “In general, the studies did not take a critical stance on how engineering knowledge is constructed, who participates in engineering, and who decides who becomes an engineer. In terms of critical pedagogy, few studies questioned how to empower students of color (e.g., concientização) or considered taking action and working alongside the students (e.g., praxis) to de-colonize and re-inhabit their spaces, including all of these different domains that students of color inhabit” (pp. 157-158).In a similar vein, Patrick et al.’s state-of-the-art review of papers claiming to use critical methodsin STEM education found that many articles mentioned using a critical theory at the beginningbut did not follow through by
Students and Developing Professional Support NetworksIntroduction The Purdue University Rising Scholars program was initially funded in 2016 by NSF S-STEM#1644143 Rising Scholars: Web of Support Used as an Indicator of Success in Engineering. Theterm ‘Rising Scholars’ has come to represent the strata of the population that are of low socio-economic status (SES) striving to complete a collegiate education (Kent State University, 2021;Stanford University, 2020). The current collegiate entrance metrics favored by many well-regarded state institutions for their STEM programs have certain gateway values, and in general,do not select equitably across many notable factors, including gender; race; ethnicity; first-time,full-time status; and low-SES
engineering, many of the URM studentsstruggle to complete their degree due to various factors: inadequate academic preparation,insufficient awareness career options, lack of necessary financial, academic, social, and culturalsupport for success, and low levels of self-efficacy.To address these barriers and build capacity for student success, SFSU has partnered with twolocal HSI community colleges, Skyline College and Cañada College. This collaboration involvesdeveloping and implementing several strategies through the Strengthening Student Motivationand Resilience through Research and Advising (S-SMART) project, which is funded by theNational Science Foundation's HSI Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program.One of the strategies developed

Psycho-social characteristics experienced. 4. Personal feedback/recommendations for promoting equity, inclusion, and representation of black women in CS.Each subtopic and corresponding findings are discussed below.4.1 Established Identity in CS with Themselves & OthersFindings for this classification were based on five key questions that were asked during the focusgroup sessions: Q1: Do the participant(s) exhibit an identity towards computer science? Q2: Do the participant(s) consider themselves as computer scientists? Q3: Are they proud to be

when accomplishing this purpose. Specifically, a largeamount of information is considered indirect knowledge, or knowledge only reasonablyaccessible to a learner through social contact [1]. Further, within the learning context,interactions are adapted reciprocally by the learning environment and learner [2]. These andrelated foundations indicate that understanding the social aspect(s) of the learning environment isessential for understanding and improving learning.To identify and optimize social variables related to student learning, recent engineeringeducation literature shows a growing awareness of and interest in peer support. Theseobservations of student interactions and outcomes indicate improved learning, motivation, andself-efficacy due
in 2020-21, as shown by the Student Demographics reported in Table 1.Students in this program believe that remote undergraduate research programs “give opportunities tostudents all over the country to participate in research projects …. without having to live in the samelocation”; “[collaborating] with people from different backgrounds …. enhance[s] the research process”;and “[Diversity] is important to gain an extrinsic understanding of how our work can impact others, soby promoting diverse collaboration, it also improves the work itself” (Student Testimonials).The active outreach to high school students allows undergraduate community college researchers to takeon high school mentees. This serves to lessen the gap between undergraduate
courses and pro-environmental knowledge and behavior and environmental attitudes.References[1] S.-W. Liang, W.-T. Fang, S.-C. Yeh, S.-Y. Liu, H.-M. Tsai, J.-Y. Chou and E.

In the study from UAE[26], women with higher SES were less likely to choose STEM majors and careers (Fig. 1),unlike in the US and UK where studies found higher SES to significantly impact the likelihoodof persisting in and choosing a STEM major, respectively [22, 24]. In Caspi et. al.’s study [16] inIsrael, they found no gender difference in ninth grade students’ choice of a STEM major whereasgender differences were found early on (i.e., prior to intervention) in STEM attitudes in USstudents [13].
