These universities encounter similar challenges in first-year retention and graduationrates, especially in the STEM disciplines. As they strive to improve the first year engineeringand/or mathematics student experience at their campuses, they have engaged in differentapproaches; including Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL), formation of an Engineering LearningCommunity (ELC), and engaging students in outreach as STEM Ambassadors. Incorporatingthese individual strengths with new activities that will be shared across institutions, the team iscurrently embarking on a multi-year research project to uncover how students develop STEMidentity in an urban context, identify

Essays were revised based on peer-feedback and thenwere turned-in for grading. Students were not aware that their essays would be analyzed relativeto the nine motivation areas.During a review of the essay produced by the first cohort of students, the grader generated a listof the most common motivations to the prompt. A total of ten different motivations wereidentified in the first administration. Those same ten motivations have been used in allsubsequent essay reviews. The ten response areas used were:  Challenging,  Family/mentor influence,  Hands-on

We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices

The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions.

). Research has shown that implementing DLI inother subjects, such as history, has led to students showing greater mastery of historical thinking,increased ability to transfer historical knowledge to other contexts, and improved readingcomprehension compared to peers that did not receive DLI [5], cf. [6], [7]. Similar studies havebeen conducted in science [8].Research on disciplinary literacy suggests that use of DLI in engineering may increase students’abilities to engage in engineering thinking as well as lessen literacy-based barriers that preventwomen and underrepresented students from pursuing STEM pathways. To accomplish this goal,a robust model of DLI in engineering must be developed and disseminated into K-16 classroompractice.BackgroundThis

Afinal limitation is the passive nature of the learning process in this approach. Students engagewith these cases by writing analyses or taking tests, rather than by actively grappling with theethical dilemmas presented. This passive engagement reduces opportunities for personalreflection and the development of critical thinking skills required in the students’ future careers.In recognition of the limitations described above, educators have recommended several strategiesfor increasing student engagement in engineering ethics: Some recommend electronic bulletinboards and chat rooms, which encourage students to
