. At [my internship] I worked with pretty young like 30’s people and then people on the top like my boss. I had to work with American managers and Japanese managers and clients all over [the world]. (Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While

Ifthe grading has little weight on writing an explanation, the students would simply ignore theverbal thinking aspect and just apply algorithm learning to get to the numerical answers asked inphysics questions. In a typical example where a block on a ramp is connected to a verticallyhanging block via a cord, the acceleration and tension can be calculated with algorithm learning.However, in a learning assessment in terms of verbal thoughts and writing skill, most of thestudents would fail to show in their writing that the acceleration answer must be less than 9.8m/s/s; and that the tension is the force that pulls up the block on the ramp and the same tensionprevents the vertically hanging block from free falling by acting as

. A key outcome of this research is a Framework of Professional Responsibilities toconsider how future research can examine student cognitions, behaviors, and dispositionsabout professional and ethical responsibilities. Components of the proposed framework havebeen previously described in the engineering education literature. For example, Gilbuena etal. (2015) described project management and timeline development as developed within acapstone project. However, the students’ discussion of professional and ethicalresponsibilities aligned most closely with Besterfield-Sacre et al.’s list of professional traits.Specifically, we identified self-management, task management, and team management as thekey components of students’ experience of

The psychologist John Flavell1 introduced the term in the 1970’s whileadvancing research on the topic, but ideas about the usefulness of reflection in improvinglearning began much earlier, starting with John Dewey2.

As we, the faculty and students, began to recognize the structure we could let go ofthe problem and the solutions. However, this “letting go” had to occur repeatedly (almostweekly) as the issue continued to be bothersome to many of us.What are the cultural beliefs, values, and paradigms that are causing the problems of intransigentSTEM pedagogies that result in STEM cultures that are exclusive? We first note that “S” refersto the physical, or equivalently, the natural sciences; it excludes all other organized ways ofthinking, or “sciences.” Implicitly, natural sciences are prioritized over other “sciences.”The natural sciences derive knowledge through

tacit.Explicit knowledge is codified and captured in archives and databases in discrete words ornumbers. Tacit knowledge, on the other hand, provides the context for developing andunderstanding explicit knowledge [7]. Tacit knowledge is not codified and is, therefore,harder to communicate. The development of tacit knowledge is a continuous activity betweenindividuals sharing experiences for mutual understanding [6].Knowledge needs to be continuously created in order for it to be continuously shared.Nonaka [6] proposes that knowledge is created through the conversion between tacit andexplicit knowledge via four modes, referred to by the acronym SECI, in a continuous cycle:1) socialization (S) is creating tacit knowledge from other tacit knowledge through

The instructordecides what should be learned based on their own paradigm of what a good engineer shouldknow, but this does not take into account the interests of the student or the ever-changing needsof the world. The underlying assumption of this predominant system is that human beings are notnatural learners and must be forced to learn through external behavioral motivations such asreward and punishment.A look through the literature shows that in the 1990’s, before No Child Left Behind (NCLB),there was much talk about grading and assessment, mostly related to standards-based grading.The discussion faded from view as the consequences of NCLB focused on the detrimental effectsof standardized testing.

However, nationwide data shows that, ifanything, women and minority representation among students in science and engineeringdisciplines has decreased slightly over the past 10 years2,5, making this hypothesis unlikely.Table 1.
