push researchers andeducational practitioners to reformulate and package non-scientific ideas in a scientific andpositivist way to be able to achieve their goals (e.g., research funding, new course design). Toprevent such efforts and gain a better picture of different world views, we may utilize AIprograms as artificial assessors, reviewing proposals and plans primarily through textual andnatural language processing methods. However, we again need to set rule-based conditions andexceptions for AI programs on what to consider Scientific and Non-scientific and whereIndigenous ways of knowing fall into that spectrum. So for either AI or human decision-makers,choices need to be made on the chain of logic and reasoning employed to appropriately
that is so widely taken in engineering prac-tice, but that many engineering ethics education programs do not use, given the focus on the‘rules and codes’ approach. In an engineering education students can often be taught one‘correct’ way to solve problems. They are shown how to learn and apply new things, howto perform well and attain the correct answer through hard work, but not how to fail well.Students might end up attempting a problem multiple times, but failure is never expected orincluded as part of the design plan, and more so is always to be avoided, despite the valuablelessons such an experience can give. With ethical problems especially, where downstreameffects of engineering decisions can have many unintended consequences, failure

future, the project team plans to conductexperiments with other variations of photoperiod. General observation of the trial indicated thatthe longer photoperiod helped the peanut plants to grow more vigorously with the increasedphotoperiod. The seed inoculation was randomized for each zone in Figures 3a and 3b, locationsdesignated as A indicates inoculated seeds, and B indicate non-inoculated seeds. For both trials,gypsum was added to the soil after the flowering of the plants. The peanuts were hand harvestedroughly five and a half months after planting for both FarmBot beds (April/May –September/October timeframe). The harvest from each plant was counted and weighed.4.0 Harvest Data AnalysisIrrigation was discontinued two weeks before the

goal of this study is to quantify how much the use ofuncommon language affects the performance of students from diverse backgrounds. To quantifythis effect, we created SAT level math questions written with and without uncommonterminology. The questions were then distributed to volunteers as anonymous surveys.

There is also a pride of creation for each project builtand taken home.Future Engineers [9] creates quarterly challenges for elementary, middle, and high schoolstudents. Many of the challenges require students to use CAD software, produce 3D models,create a scientific experimentation plan. The organization provides mentoring and challengeshave no fee to enter.

I thinkwhen I’m involved, it means I’m a part of the thing—a part of the places and the communitiesI’m in. So yeah, that that means being present to me.”Noah’s definition of involvement is particularly important since it reflects the reality of studentslived experiences. As we continued engaging students, it became apparent that theirinvolvement, as experienced and not just defined, extends beyond easily identifiable formalinvolvement opportunities.

also consider the course content for each day and plan practices in advance. Duration Guided seated meditations of 3-5 minutes 1-2 times a week are likely to work well for first-year engineering courses. Students also requested a few longer practices be included when possible. Logistics Test the required technology before implementing these practices in-class to ensure the best practice experience for the students and the most efficient use of instructional time. Engagement Regularly encourage students to participate in the practices but do not force students. Also, urge students to reflect on their practice and how it has changed throughout the course.References[1] American

Here we want to highlight the work and calls to action from variousfields, including higher education and the social sciences, which argue to disaggregate the data ofAsian Americans [2][8].Initially, we planned to include this research question for this paper: how do Asian Americanstudents’ cultural identities intersect with their engineering identity? When reporting our findingsfor this paper, we could hardly find any evidence from the already small number of papersselected to respond to this research question. In other words, none of the nine papers selectedhave critically examined how Asian American students’ cultural experiences interact with theirexperience as engineering students. It is unclear how Asian students’ cultural values

Team 3 first turned their attention to the physical construction materials they had beengiven to build the model of their microshelter. They measured these components and discussedhow these measurements could represent the size of the real structures. That is, they wereconcerned right away with the scale and scale factor of the model they would build. They noticedthe even dimensions—2in, 4in, 6in, and 8in—of the materials and then compared these to thedimensions of the supplies in the supply sheet. Although they focused initially on the two-dimensional space available for the floor (the“footprint” of the shelter), they were also very concerned about the interior height
