Theweekly sessions followed a lecture-type series with different guest speakers introducing the TAsto key pedagogical topics such as Bloom’s taxonomy, active learning, rubric design, studentmotivation, and ethics. The seven bi-weekly assignments engaged the GTAs by asking them towrite their reflections on personal teaching experiences related to the topics presented in thecourse. The service learning project was optional, and it required the GTAs to design and teach anengineering module in one of the local schools’ classrooms.

to meet educational goals. It is important to define achievable and reasonable rubrics that thestudents can understand and achieve successfully.The capstone course in the School of Engineering Technology, which is in the Purdue Polytechnic Instituteat Purdue University, is offered over two academic semesters. The needed skills to define, design anddevelop engineering technology solutions are introduced and developed. Planning and designingalternatives that meet cost, performance, and user-interface goals are emphasized while consideringdifferent design approaches. In addition, project planning, scheduling, and management techniques arestudied. Teamwork, global and societal concerns, and professional ethics are integrated into course
. Open-ended questions were used tosolicit unbiased feedback from the students on their class learning experience and team dynamics.The authors are currently working on developing rubrics to assess the six learning outcomesidentified for this course. The plan is to develop a comprehensive rubric that evaluates studentlearning outcomes and to provide student’s active feedback.References: 1. DAG, D. A. G., & Ethic, W. (2000).

Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future

an exhaustive study, works exploring stress induced bygamification demonstrated that subjective stress can lead to conditions such as anxiety, hostility,and depression, all of which are harmful [31]. If leaderboards are implemented without the meansof hiding personal identities, there arises the issues of a transparency of individual performance.Students can algorithmically deduce the status of their peers, which has numerous ethical and so-cial issues. Gamification is often based on a one-size-fits-all approach (consistency across badges, quests,etc.), which may not be appropriate for everyone. This lack of customization on a personal levelcan lead to different groups of students losing interest. Some may find the games too difficult

The first-year 1composition curriculum emphasizes the rhetorical situation (writer, audience, purpose, andcontext), rhetorical appeals (logical, ethical, and emotional), and genre awareness in the writingprocess [1]. Most first-year composition courses are taught and/or administrated by English orCommunication departments.Although engineering undergraduates learn academic writing in first-year composition or othergeneral education writing courses, they often struggle to transfer the writing knowledge fromthose courses to engineering courses [2].

This required several programs within our institution to work onmethods that can be included to make students more aware of equity issues and assess theirunderstanding on the above subjects.This paper discusses how courses were changed to include equity as part of the curriculum.

further research into how students learn to frame engineering designproblems and what role framing plays in their professional formation.Introduction and Research PurposeDeveloping the ability to design solutions to problems is key for engineering students learning tobe professionals [1]. Many design experiences happen in the first-year and senior year courses,though increasingly they are being incorporated into courses along the entire program [2]–[4].Instructors must make many decisions when developing design challenges, not all of which areclear. For instance, in senior capstone design, faculty commonly contend with ABETrequirements, ethics, project management, appropriate scope, appropriate technical content, andteam dynamics [5]–[7]. With
