A Two-Step Program for Undergraduate Students to Gain Authentic Experience in the Research Process1. IntroductionThe value of undergraduate participation in authentic research, especially in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, has been the subject of various studies overthe past two decades. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (2008) identifiedit as one of ten high impact educational experiences. The Council on Undergraduate Research(2005) termed authentic research participation as “the pedagogy of the 21st century.” This isperhaps not surprising, as STEM students report both affective and cognitive gains from theirundergraduate research experiences. Increased knowledge of how
always had an interest in this question and decided to tackle it during the course of my doctoral studies, which were advised by Joe Sinfield. Innovation, however, is a broad topic, one that could perhaps be said to have no home as it lives across fields such as management, technology studies, design, engineering, economics, engineering education, and psychology. Those who study innovation tend to focus either on characterizing innovation or on characterizing innovators, and at the outset of my study I felt a strong tension while trying to decide which one – innovations or innovators – to focus on. Although I could not understand why, I felt strongly inclined to study both, and thus my
to draw on paper the relationshipbetween engineering ethics and DEI. We chose to have participants draw after having oneinterviewer practice the protocol with another. At the time, we were considering askingparticipants to use modelling software (e.g., Miro) that was familiar to them. Based on this pilotinterview experience, physically drawing on paper felt more appropriate than virtual modelling.We rationalized that drawing would eliminate time devoted to learning a new technology andthat drawing activities employ different parts of the brain than verbal responses would. After thedrawing activity, participants responded to a DEI case on organizational retention ofunderrepresented employees, which we adapted from “Dirty Diversity” [30
related to science, technology, engineering, and math is something that has changed dramatically over the past few decades. However, representation is still highly unequal for multiple reasons. This study will seek to discover the most influential factors that contribute to women choosing to either pursue or avoid a career in STEM. The survey will be targeted toward women currently pursuing or working in a STEM field. It asks demographic questions and requests participants to rate how much different factors influenced them to choose a STEM career path. Additionally, it will ask what the challenges or disadvantages are that cause women to have hesitancies about entering the STEM field. The survey will be distributed to various groups of females in
Society for Engineering Education, 2019AbstractIn recent years, makerspaces have become an increasingly common feature in the engineeringbuildings of academic institutions. Through the creation and continued funding of these spaces,access to rapid prototyping technology has allowed for fast, straightforward project developmentacross the engineering disciplines. While many hypothesize that students’ participation withinthese facilities has a positive impact on their educational experiences and outcomes, there is littleempirical data that describes how and to what extent individuals are impacted by exposure to amakerspace.In this paper, we seek to understand how the use of a university makerspace in a course projectimpacts students’ engineering
the need for a pedagogical model that helps develop students as professionals, which isdifferent from a standard instructor-led learning model. As a counterpoint to such broadeningefforts, Anderson, Courter, McGlamery, Nathans-Kelly, and Nicometo18 find that “engineers areseen to be frustrated by non-engineering work.”.These, and other studies reviewed in the next section, point to a two-fold gap. One, students lackknowledge of the social and problem contexts/requirements, and are not trained in ways toaddress them. Particularly lacking are need/problem identification and need/problem framingskills, which are required to address complex and messy real world problems. Second, studentsdevelop values that are too technology-centered, and this

with the possibility of a cultural technoscience by drawing onengineering studies to introduce engineering mindsets [31], progress as a political term, and theassumption that new is always better [32]. The module also explores dominant cultural images ofneutral computation by analyzing the operationalization of fairness and the assumed neutrality ofmathematics (i.e. positivism, mathwashing, algorithms/culture distinction) [33]. Finally,objectivity is contested through a feminist studies critique as a segue into discussing how the“objectivity” of technology plays a role in marginalizing the knowledges of oppressed peoples[34]–[36]. For example, students will be challenged to think about how familiar “value-free”constructions and practices of

expose all students to activity, project or problem-based learningstrategies1. For high school students, many PLTW initiatives are not embedded, but offered asan elective course, outside of their normal Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)trajectories. Students in public school settings where PLTW is offered as an elective may findthat these courses conflict and compete with other courses that may hold a personal interest.Though PLTW courses are engaging and expose students to principles in engineering andtechnology, in many educational settings, it is up to the individual student to decide on PLTW asa viable and worthwhile pathway.To assess the impact of PLTW, several states have begun longitudinal tracking of studentsenrolled in
Course on Undergraduate Students (RTP)AbstractExposure to pre-college Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activitiesand undergraduate service learning have been linked to increased interest and participation inSTEM careers. However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own. Of concern are the elementary or K-6 teachers who will be expected to include STEMin their lessons but do not

, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are currently major focuses of pre-college education in the United States. This is partially an effort to produce a greater number andvariety of STEM professionals; it is thought that this effort will help the US remain competitivein a global economy [1], [2]. Regardless of career choice, STEM education has the potential toimprove the STEM literacy of all students [3]. One of the current trends in STEM education isthe integration of the four disciplines. A main goal of integrating STEM in pre-collegeclassrooms is that students can make connections within and between the STEM disciplines,which has the potential to deepen their understanding of each discipline [4].Of the STEM subjects, engineering has
