effective college teacher. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Institutional Data as Motivation for Course-Level Change in EngineeringIntroduction and BackgroundFor decades, studies have called for attention to recruiting and retaining a diverse studentpopulation in STEM fields and increasing the numbers of STEM graduates [1, 2]. Multiplestudies have documented an “achievement gap” in terms of success for under-representedminorities (URM) [3] and first-generation college students [4], and also provide a multitude ofsuggestions for better supporting these students at the institutional and classroom levels [3, 5].In 2019, ASEE

The focus extended beyond genderto include race, sexual orientation, physical ability, and other categories of social identity.Gender non-binary students had the opportunity to choose between either of the two courses. InAutumn 2019, the courses’ enrolled students were limited to new first year engineering studentswho self-selected to take part in a pilot “Inclusive Leadership Cohort”. Students in this cohorttook the Inclusive Leadership Course concurrently with the first two required engineeringcourses in their first two semesters at The Ohio State University. Due to COVID, in Autumn2020, the courses went back to being open to all undergraduate engineering

Laboratory CourseAbstractLifelong learning is a part of student outcome in ABET ETAC in Criterion 3 (2017-2018, 2018-2019) as “self-directed continuing professional development”. Lifelong learning Criterion 3 (i) inABET EAC 2019-2020 is mapped to the new Criterion 3 #7 as “an ability to acquire and applynew knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies”. For some instructors oflaboratory courses, it can be challenging, vague, or difficult to measure this student outcome. Avariety of definitions was found that related to continuing learning and professional developmentafter graduation. The definitions vary enough to make it difficult for instructors to developcurriculum and assessment tools. The value of this paper to the laboratory

The ASEE conference (LEAD Division, 2019) also enabled us to benchmark over 40

The project wasscaffolded with instruction and intermediate low stakes assignments so that teams graduallyaddress the components, rather than hurriedly complete it at the end of the semester. Theseelements are described later in this section.This biomimicry module with EML was implemented for two cohorts of students in twosequential years, which we term cohort 2018 (n=33) and cohort 2019 (n=23) here. As notedpreviously, the biomimicry project was included in a previous iteration of the course but did notinclude instruction on EM and was a shorter duration.Project RequirementsThe final deliverable is a team presentation describing a bioengineering device or design conceptthat draws inspiration from nature.
