Theoretical saturation was achieved when no new themes or insightsemerged from the data.Rigor and trustworthiness were supported through reflexive memo-writing, peer debriefing, andthe use of constant comparative analysis to enhance credibility [25]. Team members who werefamiliar with the project but not involved in the interviews or analysis reviewed the findings toprovide an addition check on accuracy and validity [27]. Ethical considerations includedobtaining informed consent, protecting participant confidentiality, and ensuring secure datastorage [28]. These measures upheld ethical integrity and strengthened the dependability of thestudy.By employing constructivist GT, this study provided a nuanced
professional practice [1].Indeed, team-based, project-based learning experiences are thought to support myriad social,technical, and sociotechnical learning outcomes for engineering students, such as learning tothink and communicate in the languages of engineering, technical writing and communication,prototyping and fabrication, and so on [1]–[3]. However, existing research has indicated that thebenefits of participating in team-based, project-based learning experiences are not always sharedby all students, and sociodemographic characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, sex/gender,socioeconomic status, and international student status, can inform the socioacademic dynamicsby which students come to participate (in)equitably in engineering teamwork.The

myths, such as theidea that mentorship is a one-sided or strictly formal relationship, while emphasizing howmentorship fosters professional growth and personal development. After the lecture, studentsengaged in a brief interactive discussion with a peer, reflecting on their experiences withmentorship (or lack thereof) and sharing their expectations for an effective mentor. This activityencouraged students to connect the theoretical aspects of mentorship with their personalcontexts.Subsequently, students were organized into 10 groups, each consisting of around four menteesfrom ECEGR 1200 and around two mentors from ECEGR 3110. These groups were tasked withengaging in two structured activities specifically designed to cultivate mentorship skills

Syllabi also provide an opportunityfor instructors to exhibit empathy or provide motivation to students through the communicationof course policies. Demonstrations of empathy have the potential to provide additional support tostudents within the classroom and influence student success [8], [9]. Furthermore, past studieshave demonstrated that fundamental information about a course can be deduced from coursesyllabi [10], [11], [12]. However, there has been a lack of research exploring the ways in whichcourse syllabi can be used to examine transparency and support systems provided to students inengineering courses. The purpose

(R) Large numbers of students of color are improperly placed in remedial courses (e.g., mathematics) by university personnel. In order to be effective with all students, faculty should have experience working with students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Multicultural education is less important than English, writing, mathematics, and computer science. (R) All students should be encouraged to become fluent in a second language. Historically, STEM education has been monocultural, reflecting only one reality and has been biased toward the dominant

Moreover, people are more likely to engage in activitieswhere they expect a positive outcome and where their involvement will be valued (Lent, 2002).When students articulate their outcome expectations, a deeper understanding of the impact of theirco-op experiences on future expectations can be gained. The question is: Write a goal to help you develop the professional skill selected above.A thematic analysis was applied to these responses.

In the context of research, we are focused onhelping students connect research with value creation. We have defined a research mindset as a broaderidea that includes many facets of an entrepreneurial mindset. These factors in turn are connected to theidea of student-centered research [6].All of the CUREs in the

, someengineering students shoo this responsibility, recognizing that unethical situations and practicesexist in industry but choosing to write them off as a necessary or justifiable part of the field [9].What’s more, the importance engineering students place on public welfare in general is seen todecline as they progress through their undergraduate education [10].This study seeks to build off of these latter two findings in an attempt to further improve thecharacterization of ethical and political disengagement among engineering students.
