Sloan Foundationto identify issues that affect persistence among engineering undergraduates at 22 schools, whilepaying specific attention to the intersection of race, gender, and academic experience [23]. Whenasked to share their personal experiences within the COE, many students indicated that theclimate for women and URMs was not positive and could potentially be detrimental to theireducational experience. For example, some of the comments included the following:“I’m a female, and I've had both professors and students make derogatory comments in jestabout women in engineering.”“Never have I been singled out by

gender in engineering, I was very familiarwith this question and presumed my research participants would be as well. It was supposed tobe an easy question, a way for me to get participants talking about something familiar, and tobuild rapport between us. I realize now this question was also an implicit invitation to tell astory, to give me a sense of who they are, and to provide me a roadmap of what kind of questionsmight be useful to ask later in the interview.For most participants, it accomplished all of these goals. I was surprised by how naturally thesenarratives rolled off their tongues, how rehearsed women’s stories were about how they came tobe involved in engineering. As my research project went on, this became a narrative that I

The most relevant types of assessment in this case are formative (multiple timesduring the instruction process), summative (to be focused on student’s comprehension), andinterim assessments. The idea of explaining STEM material in visual and intuitive ways is not new. Forexample, Tyler DeWitt [1] taught high school students the topic of isotopes. He explained thatisotopes are basically the same atom using an analogy involving similar cars with minor changes.There are a few calculus textbooks that include visual

The data spoke specifically to this when a programdirector indicated that the student needed to be able to work independently with minimaldirection from them. In other words, they were only concerned with the students ability tocomplete the project and not the process which includes the learning component that isassociated with the project. This construct

As colleagues andepistemologies from different disciplines come together in a variety of ways, the interface can beboth productive and complex [2], [9].Researchers also point to community partnerships and service learning experiences inundergraduate civil and environmental engineering curricula that reflect both systems andinterdisciplinary problem-based frameworks.

Flipped instruction can be particularly helpful in control-related courses byensuring that students still receive adequate instruction in control theory while making time forchallenging experimental projects. As reported by de la Croix and Egerstedt, students who aregiven challenging projects but not enough instruction in control theory often create complexcontrol algorithms that are not sound 15 . Conversely, students who receive control theory but arenot given experimental projects often have a difficult time implementing the theory they havelearned.Flipped instruction can be particularly powerful when augmented by low-cost, easy-to

from practices and experiments, from praxis. Because of the need for further praxis inliberatory engineering education as a pedagogical imperative, and the limited, almost nonexistentengagement between the topics we place in conversation (pedagogy, critical thinking, liberationpraxis and theory), this paper aims to initiate and catalyze attention on the subject matter, but itwill not aim to resolve some of the questions it opens. Rather, we emphasize the importance ofliberatory theory and praxis for contemporary engineering education and, then, suggest somecriteria that might guide praxis and broader shifts in pedagogical strategies. To that end, weintend for the project to prompt further research and discussion on these topics.Engineering
