Data from this study comesfrom student survey responses (n=19,191) on the Student Post-Secondary Instructional PracticesSurvey as part of the NSF-funded Progress Through Calculus project, which examined studentreports of introductory mathematics programs across the United States. We analyzed the datausing a cumulative link mixed model on the survey items related to instructional practice,academic performance, and affective beliefs to determine which items exhibited a minoritizedrole model effect.

Her graduate training in science andtechnology studies and human-centered design prepared her to see that these forms ofcontextualization are much more nuanced than using particular language, but this varyinglanguage fundamentally changes the engineering pedagogy in practice. She continues tointerrogate why and how engineering educators learn from other disciplines to explicitlyprioritize contextualization.For Dr. Kari Zacharias, this project has been an opportunity to reflect on the

Manyof these programs include providing shared spaces for students to inhabit and interact with eachother, such as multicultural engagement centers, department-sponsored minority studentorganizations, and gender and sexuality centers. These spaces present an interesting physicallocale and cultural context to explore the experiences of LGBTQ+ engineering students, as theyare inherently intended to make engineering feel more inclusive for LGBTQ+ engineeringstudents.

Many of these clubs are associated with professional organizations - e.g.Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) - that promote professional development throughtechnical project competitions, conferences, and networking events. However, the ways in whichclubs help in professional formation and the specific forms of learning within clubs is poorlyunderstood [10]. Hinkle and Koretsky investigated the experiences of three different student clubsand found three different sets of learning outcomes [10]. Those learning outcomes would all beconsidered valuable and included: creativity and experimentation in one club, deep technicalexperience and industry

What kinds of classroom norms do we need to establishfor productive engineering work to take place? These questions may be especially important inschools where students do not frequently have opportunities to engage with their peers in thekind of collaborative decision-making required by engineering design.

Thus, although we draw onMagali Larson’s (1977) notion of “professional project” to document how and when engineeringeducators act to bolster their professional image, it is as important to this study that we alsoemploy a basic understanding of the distinct professional configuration of engineering, and howthis configuration shapes the profession’s educational reform practices. In this respect, the earlystudies of the engineering profession remain an important point of departure (Layton 1971;McMahon 1984; Sinclair 1980; Reynolds 1983; also Noble 1977

Engineering and Language Attitudes in the U.S. A QuandaryGlobalization and the international projection of engineering In the last 30 years, the literature on engineering education has been paying increasingattention to the changes that the field has experienced due to the advancement of globalization.The goal of this concerted effort is to determine and validate the set of skills the job marketdemands from the engineer in the 21st century. There is consensus among researchers that in the context of globalization the U.S.engineering programs either adapt their curricula to meet the expectations of the globalworkforce or take the risk of becoming irrelevant [1]. Irrelevance refers to the currentcurriculum

applying science knowledge in the classroom and engaging in engineering practices.4As of early 2016, 17 states plus the District of Columbia have adopted NGSS as the basis of theirscience standards.5 And engineering content of many forms has proliferated. Third-party curriculainclude Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way, and The Infinity Project, and schools havealso developed their own programs, either on their own or with other institutions, to make engineering aclassroom option for students.We asked three questions to hone in on specifically how outreach programs might be working to bringengineering directly into K-12 classrooms: • Does this program work to bring engineering into the K-12 classroom through student teachers
Project Lead theWay, engineering education in K-12 is mostly not public, and the role of teachers in developingthese experiences has to date been limited. In this paper we seek to show why this is a problem,particularly for creating pathways to engineering for students of low socioeconomic status andstudents of color. As the Next Generation Science Standards come online, and as more and morestates adopt engineering standards for K-12 education, how can engineering education bedelivered as part of public education, involving teachers and unions fully in the process?

The assessment strategies are based on the types of learning in this course,where project-based learning and design thinking employ higher levels of thinking and thereforeneed the matched assessment strategy of a rubric.
