employ a qualitative methodology calledInterpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which allows for a detailed exploration of theparticipants' experiences. This method involves organizing and preparing the data, reducing it to keythemes, and interpreting it through discussions and visual representations which is a similar analyticalapproach commonly found in qualitative research [14]. The data analysis will follow a structured process:managing and organizing the data, reading, and noting emerging ideas, describing and classifying themes,developing interpretations, and visualizing the data. In addition to IPA, the research methods will includecertain aspects of reflective lifeworld research [15]. The research will address the following

The integration of NACE Career Competencies helps translate ABETstudent outcomes into practicable career readiness strategies. The courses used projects andguided reflection students to practice eight career competencies: Career and Self Development,Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity and Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism,Teamwork, and Technology. Preliminary observations from student reflections and advisinginterviews suggest students are intrinsically motivated to connect course exercises to careercompetencies. This study provides a

Faculty Communities Exploring Data and Sharing Their StoriesMotivation and Project OverviewThis NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE: EHR) Institutional andCommunity Transformation (ICT) capacity-building project is designed to support faculty tocollaboratively explore questions on student learning and success in introductory and gatewayundergraduate STEM courses, such as early engineering courses as well as prerequisite math andscience courses. The project is motivating faculty to consider evidence-based teaching strategiesby including them as co-designers of learning analytics tools and storytellers inspired by the dataand their reflections.

engineering course Itook. In this course, students were put into groups and had to complete an engineering task (inmy case, build a simple robot); however, the class’s primary learning outcomes focused on non-technical concepts like engineering ethics, which made this course like a mini capstone wherestudents had to find the information themselves to complete their projects. Reflecting on thisproject, I realized that researching and building circuitry for robots was the primary reason forselecting Electrical Engineering. Therefore, when I look at the department’s RED program, I seea similar ideology: an attempt to teach students more about the professional side of engineeringand empower students to take responsibility for learning.

Chelberg and Bosman (2019) found facultymentorship to be especially impactful to underrepresented STEM students as it aided in their“development, retention, persistence, and navigation of the postsecondary setting” (p. 45).Zeller’s et al.

Meaningful conversations, proper reflection, and content mastery areproducts of this learning mode [6].Experiment-centric-pedagogy (ECP), an instructional technique that facilitates activite learning,offers an alternate route for acquiring technical skills and information both inside and outside ofthe classroom.

Epistemic belief, which reflects students’ views on the nature ofknowledge and knowing, plays a crucial role in the cognitive, metacognitive, and affectivedimensions of students’ learning. Research has demonstrated that interventions targeting epistemicbeliefs can significantly enhance learning outcomes (Greene et al., 2018).
