variations, most universities suggestthe importance of these competencies as helping students become career-ready, lifelong learners.Each engineering program, including architectural engineering, requires faculty to consider,envision, articulate, conceptualize, and prioritize these competencies [9]. Also, prior research hashighlighted the importance of these integrations at curriculum and course levels [10], [11]. Also,the literature highlights the importance of investigating the impact of such integration onstudents learning and career trajectories [11][12]. However, these integrations are usually eitherad hoc or do not follow the evidence-based practice approach. These issues lead to a largerconversation of systematic and mindful integration of
motivationand transfer had to be reframed for this context. To ensure elementary students could access thenarrative, the readability level of sentences in the text was modified to a 5th-grade level. Thechange allows elementary students to immerse themselves in the situation better, a key of themotivation component. The intended purpose of the transfer component is to support the learnerin using the skills in other engineering situations. For younger learners to transfer engineeringpractices and skills to another situation requires engaging in multiple experiences [34]. Thedesigned case is standalone; therefore, the transfer component was excluded.The preliminary case study was developed with four dimensions in mind: problem-scoping,persuasive
engineering activity were seen as entrepreneurial activities by the students (Table2). When asked to describe specific examples of how their ability to explore multiple solutionpaths increased from the class, a larger percentage of students in the control group cited thewater filter activity compared to the experimental group. The design sprint activity did show upas a higher percentage of respondents when asked to describe a specific example to createsolutions that met customer needs compared to the water filter activity. The control groupparticipated in an activity that, while not designed with the EM in mind, did make connectionsfor students. Although not intended, both activities (design sprint and water filter activity) had animpact on student’s
belonging inengineering. The study found that classroom inclusion was the only significant predictor ofbelonging and could predict it positively to a moderate degree. Further, it was found that studentsin revised inclusive courses reported significantly stronger feelings of inclusion and belongingthan their peers in traditional courses. These findings suggest that systematic efforts toimplement neuroinclusive learning practices in engineering education may contribute to a senseof belonging for all students.IntroductionThe concept of neurodiversity, a term coined by sociologist Judy Singer [1], emerged asmembers of the autistic community challenged the predominant disability framing of autism andembraced the notion that diversity of minds is both

But as of right now, I would say my goal is to be financially stable. My parents made this big sacrifice to come here and leave everything they have. So I feel like I can make a little sacrifice to just pursue a career where I can get on my feet and make a little bit. Have a job that's guaranteed right after college. And then from there, I don't mind working on what I want to pursue.Participant 12’s story reflects external, Utility-based factors for choosing engineering. They arefocused on the financial stability

Once we have a proper mechanism to ensure the delivery of sufficientkits, we can expand to other locations to tackle the challenge of decreased chemical engineeringenrollment nationwide. We will also incorporate other topics like heat transfer and solid-liquidoperations. UF has already developed these other modules; thus, their integration into thesummer program can be planned in a smooth and organized manner, keeping in mind that theymust be customized for high-school students.The chemical engineering course in the summer program starts with an introductory

The investment of approximately 2 minutes involved a video-guided meditation. In Lesson 2.1, Mr.Sagun even asked students to identify their current emotions, with some students sharing that they weretired or calm. The mindfulness activities provided a moment for students to reset and refocus, andsupported student engagement in the lessons.Embedding IEP Goals and Objectives With intention, Mr. Sagun ensured that the lessons also supported students’ IEP goals andobjectives and led to opportunities to collect progress monitoring data. For example, in Lesson 2.1 Mr.Sagun was able to gather data on students
factors should be kept in mind: 1. Underrepresented students must see others with their identity in the role of an engineer to feel welcome in the STEM space. 2. Underrepresented students must have time and freedom to engage with their identities as engineers in the classroom to solidify their engineering identity. 3. Underrepresented students must have the choice to engage or not engage with instruction in class so they may feel safe and welcome in the space. 4. Underrepresented students must have their skill-development needs acknowledged and addressed so they may be at the same level as their overrepresented peers. 5. Underrepresented students must be given a human-centered approach to engineering problem

amount of further technical material we wish we could present to ourstudents. Hence, we acknowledge that to infuse an ambitious array of knowledge and skillsrelated to sustainability and social justice as well as habits of mind like emotional intelligence,critical thinking, universal design, and cultural humility into the curriculum could seem naïve oreven harmful.However, when we consider the evolution of engineering education over the long and the shortterm, we find that what is most critical for educators to impart has always shifted with thedevelopment of technology and its scientific and mathematical toolboxes. In electrical andcomputer engineering, there is much more technical content that was once taught in four-yearprograms, which we

Furthermore, the creative climatedimensions that were explicitly mentioned across interviews provide insight into the dimensionswith a strong influence over the creative climate in graduate-level engineering education.6.1. Creative Personal IdentitiesEach participant was asked to define creativity in their own words. These definitions were uniqueto each participant with little overlap among the responses, which ranged from generating ideas,exploring different perspectives and connections with an open mind, and expressing themselveswhile bringing their own visions to life. Participants were also asked to define what it means tobe an engineer. Unlike the creativity definitions, these responses were

Case study, specifically Yin’scase study approach, has been used in previous engineering education research. For example, aqualitative research study using Yin’s embedded single-case study approach was used toinvestigate teachers’ engineering practices as part of a professional development program (thecase) with their engineering lessons as the embedded units of analysis to determine the extent ofteachers’ engineering integration abilities [10]. Another engineering education study that used amultiple case study design by Yin was a preschool classroom observation study of “engineeringhabits of mind” [11] that used the Teaching
participate in WIL experiences do notexpect the amount of complexity of the problems they were facing as engineers on the job [20].Further recognition of the affective domain’s importance, and in particular work self-efficacydevelopment, over the course of WIL experiences will alleviate some of those issues. There arestrong reasons to suggest that these affective ways of operating are crucial for harnessingengineering students’ cognitive skills [16]. Educators who use WIL should consider linkingexplicitly the cognitive and affective domains for greater student engagement and learning inWIL and for subsequent work readiness/employment [16]. With these ideas in mind, we nowturn to our own exploratory investigation of student experience of design in a
students persist in engineering.Our study is situated in the context of civil engineering, as two of the PIs are civil engineeringfaculty members, but it should be noted that we often refer to engineering education in theaggregate. This is partially because students at our institution do not declare a specific majoruntil they complete some foundational coursework in math and science. The interventions in thisstudy are designed specifically with civil and architectural students in mind, but they may betranslated to other disciplines.Building Pathways ProgramsThe Building Pathways program features academic and professional development programmingfor engineering students during the first and second academic years and during the summer termsfollowing
collaborative change management and communities ofpractice in engineering education at the national level, where Mattucci developed a largeprofessional network across the country. In this role he often felt unfamiliar with the actors,priorities, and attitudes within the various contextual domains and the people he was workingwith. This role coincided with the initiation of his mindfulness and awareness practice, which ledto him actively seeking ‘contextual mentors’ to help navigate the systems. This approach ofintentionally seeking contextual mentorship has been ongoing for the last five years. Recently, hebecame more aware of the mentees in his network, and perceiving these relationships through asocial network lens, which has inspired this work, and
acknowledgesthat infrastructure design requires consideration of diverse settings and the needs of thecommunity as a whole rather than as a collection of individuals [32]. Too often, communityimpacts are only considered after the design has been developed according to the technicalcriteria. Through the use of CCD, the design can be developed from the start with both technicaland human criteria in mind. CCD emphasizes that both asking multiple community stakeholderswhat they need and observing how they interact with the system in question may be a better wayto ensure the community feels heard and the engineer understands where improvements can bemade to better fit the way people use a system [32].Another approach to addressing sociotechnical problems such
