faculty, surveys and success stories from faculty, and lastly, we provide ananalysis and overview to improve self-starter learning communities related to EML micromomentsin the future.2. EML micromomentsTraditionally, EML implementations connect to semester-long, large-scale projects or seniordesign courses where students apply concepts learned in multiple classes to a “real-world”problem. The timing of senior design in the final year of undergraduate studies makes itchallenging to develop an entrepreneurial mindset [9]. One way it can be effective for faculty toacclimate to EML is by doing small implementations through micromoments. Micromoments arerapid and easy active learning implementations that promote students’ learning, emphasizing the3
similar approach in the future. However, they all recommended starting with a simpler case first to understand the learning method, then moving forward to a more advanced tutorial as the one offered to them.• The final stage is to introduce this intervention in the classroom for all students who are taking the Kinetics and Reactor Design. A structured assessment needs to be established to assess the students' learning experience. At the moment, the intention for the structured assessment is to provide the same questionnaire (in the form of reflection questions) to two different classes. The first class will be implementing Jupyter notebook as a tool in the assignments and course project along with in-class tutorials on how

female high schoolstudents and college engineering students and found that most high school students and theirparents, as well as other identified role models did not really understand what engineers do andwere not motivated by what the profession of engineering recommended as reasons to pursueengineering. Cruz and Kellam [7] conducted in-depth interviews with 21 engineering students,including seven female students, in several programs and synthesized their findings through theperspective of the narrative arc of classic adventure stories. They found that high self-efficacy inmath and science and a background in tinkering with engineering toys or projects earlier in theireducation were among the strongest motivators to choose a major in

This paper will sharefindings and implications highlighting how college students can connect their engineering and religiousidentities. This qualitative, phenomenological study – part of a larger, National Science Foundationfunded project – is focused on two broad questions:(1) How does an undergraduate college student develop their engineering identity?(2) How does the religious identity of an undergraduate college student influence the development of anengineering identity?This study represents a deep dive into the lived experiences of one engineering woman’s college studentexperience with this phenomenon.

and practitioners, this paper frames the current state ofthe community’s knowledge gaps and provides insights into the discipline’s future directions.IntroductionFor nearly three decades, the engineering community and society have realized that engineering work has a direct impact on societyand the world in which we live [1], [2]. Developing engineers for future work is socio-technical in nature; success in modernengineering projects requires more than technical capability, but also the ability to manage teams of people and lead them towards theaccomplishment of common goals. Adapting to this new socio-technical reality has brought a recognition that holistic engineeringdesign techniques and professional skills development, (to include

Monthly workshops covered professionaland academic goal-setting topics, vision boarding, scholarship, study abroad, internship, andresearch information sessions.Mentees Feedback: Mentees share their experiences about feeling safe and confident as theyjourney through the rigor of academic life.Mentoring Structure, Relationship, and Mentors Feedback: The mentors serve two roles,mentoring and tutoring their mentees. The vision boarding session was well attended; studentsbonded with their mentors and freely shared their academic and personal goals. Mentors helpstudents with course registration, advising, proofreading essays, building a project, finding jobs,researching labs, or
hybrid format in Spring2021, where in-person students attended lectures in a classroom while online students participatedin a live Zoom session. The course instructor used a two-device setup, in which one device wasused to project and share the slides and the other for interacting with online students. Lectureswere not recorded for asynchronous access. Besides the lectures, weekly discussion section andoffice hours were offered via Zoom synchronous session for all students. Overall, 47 students(33.8%) were registered for the in-person section and 92 students (66.2%) registered for theonline section.Since students had the option to choose either the in-person or online section in both courses, weunderstand that self-selection bias will play a
example, for some, thequestion might have been part of a homework assignment, while for others it may have beenused during lecture to stimulate active learning. Similarly, only a subset of instructors includedfollow-up questions asking students to explain their answer and answer whether they understoodwhat the question was asking and whether it made them think deeply about the course material,as shown in Figure 1. We selected only cases where all of those follow-ups were part of theassignment and where the students provided consent to participated in the study. This study wasconducted as part of a larger project to facilitate and study the use and propagation of theConcept Warehouse in mechanical engineering. [36]Table 1. Institutions

Understand StudentProblem-Solving ApproachesMotivation and BackgroundProblem-solving is an essential skill needed in the field of engineering [1]. The ability toeffectively solve complex engineering problems can be the difference between project successand failure, but problem solving differs based on expertise. Experts are known to employdifferent problem-solving strategies compared to novices [2, 3]. Experts’ greater informationprocessing capacity [4] allows them to approach a problem in a non-systematic manner [5].Specific skills that allow experts to effectively solve a problem are the ability to mentallyrepresent a situation and the ability to employ different problem-solving approaches for differenttypes of engineering problems [6]. Expertise

Thisinformation will help us to shape our learning activities to meet student needs.In this first year, both assessments of IRB-approved surveys, and the worksheet, our focus willbe on identifying student misconceptions and determining how to repair these misconceptionswill help us to focus our repairs on the most important concepts in this topic. As we reiterate ourclassroom implementation strategies, we plan to implement this module across the country at dif-ferent institutions. Our ultimate goal in this project is to provide a learning tool that can enhancelearning in packed bed/fluidized bed topics across different
variousteaching roles (labs, tutorials and design projects), who contractually can undertake a maximum of 6hours of teaching per week. Our GTA cohort is somewhat heterogenous made up of a mixture ofrecent graduates and those with industrial experience, with some being entirely new to teaching whileothers have limited prior experience.The central research question guiding the study reported here is: whether there are any currentmechanisms that are illustrative of (potential) decisional capital, and how these could be furtherenhanced. As this paper is a work in progress (WIP) piece, we are deliberately focusing on one aspectof a much wider study, that considers how professional capital [3][4] can be used to enable individualGTAs to professionalise their

While the control group had 3 midterm exams, the intervention group had 2 midtermexams and one group research presentation with the same grade distribution. The goal of our IRB-approved research study was to analyze the impact of gender,racial/ethnic background, and first-generation status on the students’ mindsets. In this paper, wereported our preliminary observations from the control group and described the mindsetinterventions applied to the intervention group. In the future, we intend to report the observationsfrom the intervention group and show the comparisons between the control and the
-assessment, such as offering extra credit orincorporating self-assessment results into the overall grading scheme as used in this study.A we continue to work on this topic, the following future works are in the pipeline: 1) investigatehow different teaching approaches affect self-assessment accuracy, 2) investigate the effect of self-assessment on overall performance, and 3) analyze how different groups of students (such as poorand good students) assess themselves.AcknowledgementsThis project is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.DUE 1821023.
