development is integrated across the curriculum.Students take academic courses about leadership, practice leading their peers in a variety ofsettings and contexts and receive feedback about how well they lead. A similar idea can exist fordeveloping creativity in engineering programs.Engineering students must be taught the fundamental concepts of creative application ofknowledge along with the skills to employ creativity. Importantly, they must be provided with avariety of opportunities throughout the curriculum to apply in creative ways the technicalknowledge they are building and be provided with focused and specific feedback. They mustalso be provided with safe spaces in which risk and the potential for failure are not equivalent toa failing grade

If any question or issue raised in thechatbox needed the instructor’s attention, the GTA would inform the instructor immediately sothat the issue or the question could be addressed in real time before the class moved to the nexttopic.In addition to the Hybrid delivery mode used for the lectures, several other technological toolswere used in order to

One such group of invisible marginalized people in STEM are LGBTQ+ engineers, whonavigate a chilly, heteronormative climate in higher education [5] [6]. Additionally, prior studieshighlight how students with multiple-marginalized identities face more barriers than those withone or fewer marginalized identities [7] [8]. Students resist this chilly climate and can overcomethese barriers by forming communities of support, gaining power within the department, andinteracting with peers to create a more inclusive culture [2]. Resistance to this environment canbe influenced by the visibility of students’ marginalized identities [1

Some of these students enter the university withexisting mental health concerns; others develop mental health challenges during college. Awide range of backgrounds and factors can influence a students’ mental health and wellbeing:living and financial conditions [6], academic preparation [7], student-faculty interactions [8],food insecurity, and family responsibilities [3], and peer relationships [9].

Once students select their research topic, they proceed to work on writing a technical survey paper on the subject. Students must use acceptable technical writing templates for their paper and should rely on an adequate number and type of references to ensure a balanced and credible coverage of the subject. In the Fall 2021 course offering, students followed the IEEE conference paper template. At the end of the semester, students present their research to the entire class, practicing appropriate public speaking and communication skills and responding to peer questions and feedback. • Assignments: the

Perceived benefits from robot integration in introductoryprogramming courses include an increase in programming skills, peer learning, and studentmotivation [3]. It has been observed that along with fostering creativity, using robotics in thesecourses increases student success [4, 5]. In general, introductory engineering courses haveincorporated robots with a goal to increase problem solving skills [6] and overall programretention [7]. However, robots are often a source of frustration to students.

As such, the labs were re-designed to be completed by individuals. At the end of the semester, we adapted and deployed a survey (based on earlier work byRecktenwald and Hall [2]) to collect students’ feedback and response to the new format of teaching.The main objective of this paper is to summarize the novel teaching setting and provide an overviewof the feedback we received from the students.

meaning making. Even so, reflectiveassignments are rarely employed in technical engineering courses. When reflections have beenemployed in higher education engineering courses, the focus has been on less technical artifactsincluding peer interactions [16], portfolios [17], or using course grades to measure the efficacy ofreflections [18]. That is, reflection is mostly used for behavior-based reflection (i.e., working wellin a group, learning a tool, or effective study habits) rather than more typical engineering content. Reflection assignments can be categorized to quantify levels of learning. Multiple studieshave offered categorical ways in which reflections can be coded [19-22]. Typically, these codingschemes focus on the student’s

follows: Approximations [of practice] represent an opportunity to engage in aspects of practice with additional support and under conditions that are designed for optimal learning. Approximations generally try to target specific elements of practice and create conditions of reduced complexity in order to make it easier … to try out new elements of practice while reducing the consequences of failure. [9]Two well-known types of approximations include: (a) teaching individual students or smallgroups of students within field experiences [1, 10]; and (b) peer teaching experiences wherePSTs teach other PSTs and/or their teacher educators who assume the roles of students [11, 12].Regarding the former, the field experiences

It also means thattranslanguaging is understood to be a key tool for expression and identification.Translanguaging is defined as the full range of dynamic linguistic practices that bilingualsengage in [14]. These practices include, but are not limited to, code switching, mixing ormeshing, bilingual reading, linguistic borrowing, writing and conversing. Our project, based onCSP and translanguaging theory, questioned the strict separation of languages as well asassimilation into whiteness as the end goal of education [13]. Strict separation of languages,however, is one of the hallmarks of DLBE in which at least 50% of the instructional time isrecommended in the partner language (i.e., a language other than English).
