through Design (RtD) canconnect research and engineering educational practice. The following scenarios offer grounding: ●​ Scenario 1: Two educators, inspired by recent work on ungrading, decide to pursue ungrading for courses they teach. Through conversation, they realize their collective experiences could inform others who might be interested in themselves pursuing ungrading. As a result, the educators come together to analyze their approaches in four different courses (two each), identify insights about how to adapt ungrading to different contexts, and organize the insights into a framework that could guide other interested educators. ●​ Scenario 2: An educator becomes interested in the potential for

These inequities limit opportunities for individuals and hinder theinnovation and inclusivity of STEM fields.Such barriers are deeply rooted in structural inequities, including “epistemic exclusion”—themarginalization of scholarship and scholars that challenge disciplinary norms or focus on equityand inclusion [1], [2]. Hiring and evaluation processes often emphasize narrow productivitymetrics, such as publication counts, grant funding, and citation indices, which privilege dominantgroups and discourage bold, innovative research [3], [4].

Bonwell and Eison in 1991 [1] defined that instructional activities involving students indoing things and thinking about what they are doing as techniques to promote active learning. Abroad range of activities can be considered active learning techniques under this definition [2].Some are simple and easy implement. For instance, the students may engage in ”think-pair-share”[3], where the instructor raises a question, ask the students to think about it, and then they arepaired with peers to discuss

Despite their importance, research onteaching methods in these courses has been limited [1].

Learners in STEM EducationIntroductionDifferences among learning styles for neurodivergent learners can greatly impact theirexperiences within higher education. Neurodivergence is described as a neurological variation inwhich the brain processes information, leading to individuals having different strengths andweaknesses [1]. While neurodivergence is generally well understood in professional settings,universities must ensure proper access to necessary accommodations and information in order tosupport students in STEM fields. Standard STEM educational practices emphasize innovationand problem-solving, but systemic barriers within higher education can hinder success. Thisstudy, which is part of a course-based

A neurotypical individual is defined as a medically healthy person who exhibits a typical pattern of neurodevelopment along an expected timeline compared to their peers [2]. This study focuses on the training methods available to faculty, staff, and administrators to increase their support for neurodivergent learners in higher education. The objective of this study was to establish if Clemson University provides its instructors with proper training to raise awareness of neurodivergence and how it can be implemented in the classroom. It also looked at how modern technological advances may affect the educational process. These themes are

We use social cognitive career theory as a theoretical framework,focusing on the job search as a contextual influence that moderates choice goals and choiceactions. We examined the following research questions: 1. What barriers and challenges do students encounter during the search for full-time employment? 2. How do students navigate through such barriers and challenges in the job search

of K-12 education.1 While some schools havechosen to offer specialized engineering courses, this is not possible at all schools. Even wherespecific engineering courses are an option, students with already full schedules may not be ableto devote an entire term to exploring what it means to be an engineer. While it could not take theplace of a dedicated course, a more realistic option for schools in those situations might be toincorporate engineering activities into existing science courses.2 This can strengthen theconnections between science and engineering. Additionally, this approach has the benefit ofreaching students who may not initially be interested in engineering, potentially opening them upto new possibilities for their futures
