The amount oftime it took the students to complete each activity module was also collected. In the main sectionof the survey, the students were asked to rate their subjective perception using a 5-point Likertscale: Strongly agree (5), agree (4), undecided (3), disagree (2), strongly disagree (1).These perception questions were divided into two sections:Overall experience: 1.

How an actor moves through the 4Rs depends on their margin of maneuverability.Call to Action ● All academic reviewing processes, from conference reviews to program reviews to Tenure and Promotion reviews, have the potential to enact inequities and injustice and to harm those with less power through epistemic and other forms of violence. As members of this community, we should commit to anti-racist, inclusive approaches to review that inhere an ethic of care and hold one another accountable [19], [28]Limitations and Further ResearchAs is obvious by now, this is not the paper we thought we were going to write; much more workcan, will, and has been done to illustrate

This data is collectedto assess student work for the following seven SLOs: • SLO 1: an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. • SLO 2: an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. • SLO 3: an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. • SLO 4: an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering

Alldata collection materials were for ethical compliance by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) atlead university on this study.Individual interviews ranging from 15 to 45 minutes long were conducted via Zoom withstudents identifying as Latina, Latino, Latinx, or Hispanic to collect the audio data needed toidentify the common stereotypes and stereotype threats that they experienced.

problems of interest. Theidentification of stakeholder groups is something with which our first-year students sometimesstruggle, focusing primarily on the obvious players: students, faculty, and staff. Similarly, theirwriting about ethics and environmental concerns can be simplistic if they are not activelychallenged with these topics in class discussions.While the terms “users” and “stakeholders” usually imply human or human-organized entities,there are many non-humans that inhabit or interact with a university campus. These non-humanscan be just as important to consider in design. Landscaping choices can dictate the communitiesof plants and animals that make a space feel comfortable. Pest activity must also be managed orprevented. Other species

The problem scenario is a hypothetical vignette that asks students to consider multipledetails in an ill-structure problem context. The scenario provides information that possibly representsengineering and technical skills, economic feasibility, ethical considerations, and cultural sensitivity,which can be considered when studying potential solutions [21, p. 114].

The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Abeesee residents. In fact, many
ethical reasons, only students overthe age of 18 will be invited to participate in this study.Recruitment Procedures Clear identification of students who are freshmen (i.e., 1st year) and sophomores (i.e., 2ndyear) in the engineering program can be difficult for administrators to accomplish due to thevaried credits inside and outside of engineering students prior to enrollment. However, at theuniversity where the proposed study will be conducted, engineering students must be formallyaccepted into a major-specific professional program prior to enrolling in junior level (i.e., 3rdyear) engineering courses. Therefore, we intend to use the student identification numbers of allstudents working toward entrance into the engineering professional
teaching practices, and the use of technology and innovative pedagogies on student learn- ing and success.

Healthcare saw thegreatest changes in terms of model content since medical schooling programs requiresignificantly different skillets and have different expectations when compared to applying forengineering positions. Additions included medical ethics, medical clinical work, inclusion ofadmissions test scores, as well as a focus on patient treatment and care experience. All changeswere made after
qualitative and quantitative data gathered suggest that theprelab problem sets helped the students to be better prepared for the lab sessions due to thecomplementary nature of the prelab problems and the lab problems. Coupled with thefeatures of WeBWorK, the prelab problem sets provided better support for the students’learning and also deepened their understanding of the concepts during the actual lab sessions.AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by the Simon Fraser University Teaching and LearningDevelopment Grant.

RoundtableMeeting held in Winter of 2021, industry leaders were asked the general question, “What havebeen your top 3 challenges with attracting, hiring, and keeping talent?” Although major concernswere “lack of work ethic/habitually late or absent” (85%) and “can’t find qualified candidates”for their companies (77%), one employer stated that students hired from the Bucks CWDcertification programs remained on the job and were very reliable. Another employer indicatedthat with the strict CWD vetting process and continuous monitoring of student performanceduring the training sessions, it was “like having a 12 week vetting process” before the CWDgraduates entered the workforce. Employers have expressed continued confidence that they arehiring quality

Based on these observations, students are identifying and developing problem statementsaround common issues clinician’s encounter. There is a particular emphasis on understanding thehealthcare workflow, and the ethical, compliance, and regulatory issues of the clinic. Students arealso tasked with understanding and articulating the needs of various stakeholders. The classultimately culminates in students submitting a presentation that summarizes the considerations of theearly design process.The bulk of the class time will consist of students undergoing direct clinical immersion. Thisincludes meeting with healthcare professionals in various roles, observing medical

analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning

Performative autoethnography views the personal as inherently political, focuses on bodies-in-context as co-performative agents in interpreting knowledge, and holds aesthetic crafting of research as an ethical imperative of representation. (loc. 21019)Developed by Victor and Edith Turner, and Edward Bruner in the 1980s, performanceethnography (and by extension, performance autoethnography) is an inquiry strategy that haspolitical purposes for inciting others to action and strengthening commitment to performativecitizenship, a kind of civic-minded discourse [6].

Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects. It requires various teaching techniques in class to accommodatevarious students’ learning styles; it is reflected on relevant curriculum by locally

Several additional schools expressed interest prior to thesummer institute, but they chose to delay their participation to a future date. Each participantreceived a $1,200 stipend plus housing and travel costs for the summer institute. Each schoolreceived $3,000 engineering curriculum and materials for supporting up to 50 students in STEMclubs plus an additional $1,500 for flexible spending toward STEM-Club activities (e.g., 3Dprinter, virtual reality headset, etc.).

these practices reflect, potentiallyobvious, expectations of an engineering intervention, the structure of the activities in themakerspace embed a lot of assumptions about the “ideal” or “successful” camp participant. As aresult, the human centered design challenges in teams reproduces cultural narratives thatprivileges students’ technical competencies and work ethic [21].Although this reproduction does not inherently have a negative impact on the inclusion ofstudents, in the context of our camp it results in who is recognized as successful. Thisreproduction privileges students with who have a high self-efficacy for building things. As aresult, through our critical reflections, we discovered that we are missing an opportunity topromote the

that we have for a design course might be that the students will learn critical processes, software tools, and professional skills that will be necessary for a job in industry whose primary responsibility is design. This broad goal might represent just one of the values we have for the course. Other values might relate to acquisition of technical knowledge or practicing certain professional skills (communication, ethics, etc.). When considering the value propositions, consider questions such as: o What value do you believe that your course has for students and other stakeholders? o If you asked your students (or other stakeholders), what value do you think they would attribute to your course
