students an opportunity togrow their skills over the course of their degree program. While engineering mechanics coursesare not always associated with student team projects, these courses provide the opportunity toshow students how teamwork and diversity are relevant to problem solving. And, as mechanics-oriented courses often dominate the sophomore and junior level of many engineering programs,they can be an important venue for providing continuous instruction to students about workingwith others and in teams. This paper introduces and examines the effects of a teamworkintervention in Engineering Mechanics: Statics aimed at teaching students about the importanceof diversity and inclusion in engineering with specific attention on problem solving

NI ResearchThis section presents excerpts from a Narrative Inquiry project with an SVSM undergraduateengineering student named Cooper (self-selected pseudonym). Cooper’s stories of becoming anengineer are being documented within a narrative inquiry project to understand the experiencesof “nontraditional” [71, 72] undergraduates in engineering [73, 74]. Examination of Cooper’sstories of becoming are important for the field of engineering education; they provide rare andvaluable glimpses into the knowledge, skills, and assets that returning veterans bring to theengineering profession, as well as the unique ways in which veterans experience formalengineering education.

Anyidentification regarding group identity was removed prior to scoring and replaced with a project-assigned ID number to maintain privacy and to mask group membership from raters. All students’solutions were scored using the PROCESS rubric after the semester. Thus, PROCESS scores donot reflect or have an effect on students’ course grades.Raters’ scores for a subset of student solutions were analyzed to determine how consistently ratersmeasured student problem solving ability.

Few examples of other types of reflection activities (e.g.,graphing, sketching) have been presented or studied in the engineering education literature. In this project, which is part of a larger investigation into high performance design teams, weexplored the use of graphing and other visual techniques for recording designers’ perceptions oftheir design processes and products. Our primary aim was to introduce greater richness into theevaluation of designers’ behaviors and outcomes as we posed research questions about

because “everything's very tied together and it's better to have a wide base of knowledge.”Within engineering contexts, Caleb recognized reflection as necessary to making sure projectsteps were documented and that students were reflecting on how they have grown through aproject because it is one of the things he has been asked to do in his classes. When asked abouthis fellow students’ reactions to professors prompting students to reflect, he said, “when it comesto non-engineering things, I’ve certainly witnessed if not experienced it myself, why are wedoing this.” Caleb suggested students tend to focus on the end product rather than the means andprocesses of a project. He hypothesized this focus on the end product, could be related to someof the

They are introduced to these design problems through engaging classroomexperiences and in-class demonstrations, practice through working an individual engineeringdesign project, and solidify their understanding through group lab experiences and field trips toboth drinking water and wastewater treatment plants [17].

Engineering and Technology (ABET) has made anexplicit statement in its criteria that engineering programs must demonstrate that their students arehave “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”. Many engineering schoolshave developed various trails to deliver ethical contents, either through creating standing aloneethical courses, or through embedding the ethical topics in traditional engineering courses,typically capstone design. This pragmatic approach has been supported by engineeringprofessional societies such as NSPE, ASME, IEEE, etc. which historically have played a crucialrole in shaping the content of US engineering ethics education (Downey & Lucena 2004).
