This paper presents and reflects onthe implementation of formative assessment in our Calculus I course for engineering students.Theoretical Framework: Formative assessmentFormative assessment is an instructional technique in which teachers quickly assess students during oroutside class for minimal reward/penalty, with emphasis on improving learning. Formative assessmenthelps both students and teachers to identify knowledge gaps and misconceptions, and

collected data from multiple sources, including student work,faculty reflection logs, pre-/post-surveys, and student focus groups. Our project did not originallyintend to explore connections to engineering identity formation in students or professionalpractice. However, while analyzing the student focus group data, we observed that engineeringidentity was impacting students’ responses in unexpected ways. Thus, this paper aims to answerthe following research question: How are students’ conceptions of engineering identity linked to their perceptions of sociotechnical thinking?BackgroundSociotechnical integration in engineering educationMultiple studies of engineering practice have underlined the necessity of integrating social

[7], and helps further indicate a necessity forincluding role ethics and CSR as part of engineering ethics curriculum. Teaching CSR to engineering students acknowledges that professional engineers practice ethicswithin a larger societal and corporate framework with distinct roles that can affect ethical action thatengineers can pursue [7]. CSR itself has many weaknesses, and has been accused of having little influenceon daily corporate practices [22], [23], has not been fully internalized by many corporations [24], and is notclearly linked to engineering [15].

Considering the perceived need for a balance academic load,we also plan to explore ways to improve curriculum planning and assessment patterns inengineering education. During the second semester of 2020, we collected students’ self-reports oftime-on-task to identify peaks of academic workload in specific weeks and subjects. Furtherstudies will be conducted to understand how these self-reported data could help teaching staff andstudents reflect about course planning and time management, respectively.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by CORFO under grant no. 14EN12-26862

This gap directly contributes toother academic problems; for example, the current retention rate of underrepresented students is10% less than that of the majority students in CBAS at MTSU. Moreover, this gap gets worseyear after year in the past three years.Closing this gap is more challenging in the sophomore year due to a well-known phenomenon incollege education known as “sophomore slump”: reflected as either students getting poorer GPAor lower retention rate, or both, in the sophomore year [1] [2
