can be difficult to internalizeand discuss in an open forum, the course builds towards these topics, starting out withrelatively easier topics (e.g. Mindset and Bloom’s Taxonomy) and moving towards issues ofbelonging and identity by the end of the 15-week semester.An important aspect of the course is that it is incorporated into the students’ general educationrequirements and is not an extra burden of credits taken in addition to required program andgeneral education coursework. RIT requires students to take a course that addressesidentification of ethical questions, and the Metacognition course addresses the outcomes andhas assessments that examine students’ ability to identify and address ethical scientificquestions through case study

While considerable research has been devoted to promoting conceptualunderstanding, few studies have focused on the intentional ways that students can engage inlearning that can affect conceptual change. Intentional strategies include motivational factors andthe learning strategies students use. In an effort to understand

Her research interests include understanding and addressing students' difficulties utilizing sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques in the context of physics problem solving. In addition to investigating students' difficulties in the context of a single course, she is also interested in understanding how these difficulties change longitudinally as students advance through the curriculum and encounter these mathematical tools in multiple contexts. She is also interested in the development of research-based and validated

The hidden curriculum inadvertently conveys to students what is important inthe educational community. This paper employs a hidden curriculum perspective to explore therole and value of ethics and societal impacts (termed ESI) in engineering education. As part of alarger study on the ESI education of undergraduate and graduate students, this paper exploresESI through a hidden curriculum lens using an ex post facto design and mixed-methodsapproach. Individuals who teach engineering and computing students participated in a surveywhere they reported their own ESI education practices and their perceptions of the

One of Sedlacek’s (2004) noncognitivevariables – availability of a strong support system – proved to be particularly salient to studyparticipants. At the center of study participants’ support systems was a sense of belonging andcommunity. Though all study participants reported building some level of community orfriendships, they were challenged in doing so. Most study participants reported low levels ofsocial preparedness, or the ability to easily make social connections with peers, with manyparticipants making few friends in the first and second year.Commonly, study participants built friendships through what Kelly referred to as the “sharedstruggle” environment of being an engineering student

Too often, the program has been understood in terms of whatit is not, and the ways it diverges from our ABET-accredited BS majors, rather than for theunique combination of disciplinary methods it combines. This was damaging to the identity ofour AB students. Worryingly, the program’s existence can sometimes permit other Collegeprograms to abdicate their own potential contributions to interdisciplinary integration. Weunderstand from both the history of engineering education, and history itself, that a single“bridge” is insufficient.
