For instance, they found that “for every one-unit increase instudents’ self-efficacy, they were over eight times more likely to plan to enroll in a master’sprogram and 13 times more likely to plan to enroll in a Ph.D. program relative to not attendinggraduate school” [8, p. 154].Therefore, the body of literature on women in graduate degrees in engineering remains extremelylimited, especially disaggregated on each graduate degree (MSc, MEng, or Ph.D.) or engineeringsubfields.

The first iteration had little scaffolding and only a short video that presented theactivity. There were plans to have options for both python and spreadsheet plotting, but at highschool PD events teachers explained that they, as well as the students, need more practice andexperience in both software. Even with limited experience in spreadsheet software, teachersexpressed excitement during the demonstration of the plotting in Google Sheets activity.

moments.Increased Awareness of Parent Reactions to Child EmotionsOne primary theme that emerged amongst participating parents was an awareness of themselvesand their methods of handling frustration or set-back. This recognition often occurred throughobserving their children’s frustration or failure and reflecting on their approach oracknowledgement of it. Children’s frustration was often readily perceived by parents andsubsequently understood or supported as a natural or even beneficial component to learning. Inacknowledging their children’s frustrations and moments when things did not go according tooriginal plans (i.e., failures), many parents chose to model tactics for working through it orsuggested ways that children might move beyond frustration.One

Although Victor speaksof the “despair that is exhibited on the countenance” in the wake of a loved one’s death and the“bitterness of grief,” he concludes somewhat abruptly that “[t]he time at length arrives whengrief is rather an indulgence than a necessity” [5]. And he speaks with admiration of his adoptedsister and fiancée Elizabeth, who “veiled her grief” and “forgot even her own regret in herendeavours to make us forget” [5]. After a relatively short time of mourning, then, Victor resignshimself to proceed with his plans to attend university: “My mother was dead, but we had stillduties which we ought to perform; we must continue our course with the rest” [5].Once in Ingolstadt at university, is it

[contd] I don't even know how to get into one of those [Ph.D.] programs. And my GPA isn't the best. I don't have the best track record and research.

frequency shift keying (FSK). This project used a microprocessor design with a keypad to facilitate user input. The selected signal is modulated by hardware, and the signal is presented at a test point for display via oscilloscope. A simple 555 timer and cascading filter network were chosen for the frequency generation module. The design process, circuit schematic, program code, and theory of operation were included in the project. The project demonstrates that a student interested in wireless communication can construct a simple circuit to measure and test the fundamental elements of RF generation and modulation. Student plans to develop additional modules to demonstrate amplitude shift keying (ASK) and binary phase shift

Many faculty, according to the student interviews, were unprepared to teach remotely.They had difficulties in using the learning management system (LMS), Canvas, as well as Zoom.As well, some faculty would not record their lectures or not post them online.

Students confront thepressure to create a basis for their future through life planning, rapidly transitioning fromson/daughter roles to a role as a college student, and self-development. They receive bothpositive and negative feedback on all of their decisions, prompting them to adjust these plans fortheir future [12] rapidly. Such pressure feeds into increased stress levels of these studentsattempting to keep up with the fast-paced world of their chosen university.

In one of his groundbreaking essays, he attributes intelligence to thephysical, social and ideological environments “in which humans live,” which are “thick with invented artifacts that are in constant use for structuring activity, for saving mental work, or for avoiding error, and they are adapted creatively almost without notice. These ubiquitous mediating structures that both organize and constrain activity include not only designed objects such as tools, and symbolic representations like graphs, text and plans, but people in social relations, as

The regularimmigration process does not take place at one night, rather it requires short-term and long-termplanning: planning for learning the native language of the destination country, dealing with thefact that you are going to leave behind your country, your relatives, and your close friends,planning for selling your belongings and looking for a place to live your new life at, quitting yourcurrent job and finding a job (temporary or permanent) at the destination country, and so on.

This suggests that EvaluateUR- CURE can be of value in helping a student better understand what behavior(s) defines the course rubric and discern what aspect of the rubric might be the underlying cause of the lower score. This awareness can be an important motivation for the student to plan how they might want to address a particular area that needs attention.In sum, the initial comparison of data from this pilot implementation of EvaluateUR-CURE ispromising and we intend to continue our efforts.

engineers were either disinclined or unable to teach it.Technical communication indeed broke ground in the area of engineering written communicationdecades ago with Seltzer’s (1983) study on the composing processes of one engineer at work(Ford & Riley, 2003). Prior to Seltzer’s study, however, the technical communication fieldactually knew very little about the written communication practices of engineers. Technicalcommunication experts knew “what scientists and engineers [wrote] at work” (p. 325) but theydid not research how engineers went about planning, drafting, and revising texts.

According to Dr. Twenge, iGens aremore pessimistic and less confident than previous generations [7]. They are more willing towork hard in class and not question the grades. They are hesitant to talk in class because they donot want to say something wrong. Having grown up with the internet, they are used to findinginformation themselves. They want professors to keep class interesting, keeping videos, etc. tothree minutes maximum. This is important when planning class time for iGens. Typical iGensdo not

Evidence suggests arange of student interpretation of the purpose and application of critical reflection. Some are
