Following more data cleaning, 96 respondentsfrom the pre-and post-survey were obtained.Implementation of ECP in ClassesPhase 1: Data Collection1.1 Pre-Test: A survey was administered to students enrolled in a biology course at the universityto measure their current level of motivation and learning prior to the experiment-centric pedagogyintervention. This survey asks students to rate their level of motivation and learning on a 1-7 Likertscale, as well as include open-ended questions about their attitudes towards Biology courses andtheir experiences with Experiment-Centric Pedagogy.1.2 Implementation: A special project (Effect of Exercise on Heart rate) based on Experiment-Centric Pedagogy was implemented in the biology course. This involved the use
efficiency and suitability ofthe peer observation process itself; impact-related questions inquire about the effect of theprocess on the quality and outcomes of the teaching practice; and culture-related questions arerelated to the overall perceptions of the impact of the peer observation process on thedepartmental culture around teaching and faculty relationships. Finally, a set of questions isrelated to the project objective of promoting inclusive teaching practices, evaluated separately.Table 1 shows the questions related to each theme from the committee member survey (CMS)and observed faculty survey (OFS).

(TMCT) was developed in 2018 at Utah State University as apart of a National Science Foundation funded project in partnership with the National Federationof the Blind (NFB) [9]. The TMCT is a tactile testing instrument that is intended to measure andquantify both spatial visualization and spatial relational capabilities of the BLV population. Afteranalyzing pilot TMCT participant score data, our research team decided to increase the utility ofthe TMCT by splitting the original format of the 25-questions into two parallel subtests (A & B),each containing 12 questions. With this significant change to the format of the instrument, weneeded to determine if the reliability of the TMCT was retained in its split form.A pilot analysis confirmed

In another, a clinicalimmersion program for biomedical engineering students, where participants evaluated clinicalneeds to address in a capstone project, was effectively pivoted to a remote format [21]. Largelyout of necessity, these studies have focused more on the adaptation process than the systematicmeasurement of reciprocal outcomes or virtual internship designs While the immediate needs forvirtual internship opportunities, caused by COVID-19, may be dwindling, these modalities willlikely have a role in addressing access and equity in both the workforce and higher education inthe near future [13], [18].Equity and AccessThere is

Scores of 3 or lowerwere considered low scores.Case DescriptionsThis case study [29] is part of a larger research project aiming to measure the spatial ability andidentify the spatial strategies used by BLV populations. Annually, thirty participants wererecruited from all areas around the United States for this larger study. The study spanned 5 yearsbut had interruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic. All participants were high school studentsranging in academic grade level from 9th grade to 12th grade. This paper presents a case study offour of the 30 total

Participants We excluded anyone that identified HC as positive since the scope of our project was tosee how HC is negatively impacting FG students and their intersecting disenfranchised identities(self-identified women, Latino, and Black bodies). Asian identities were excluded from thisstudy since they are statistically overrepresented in science and engineering [22]. An initialround of coding the data revealed that out of n984, n341 answered the emotion question on thesurvey. Of the n341, n157 answered the survey question with either a negative emotion orlacking any memory of HC experiences. The demographics of the n157 participants is listed inthe chart below.

Here theysometimes discuss having to work on a team of engineers and take opinions from otherengineers. As shown in this example quote from a participant: “Also, as a professional engineer, I will have a lot of group projects, so it is beneficial for me to learn how to take input from others.”As the semester progresses, however, they begin to expand their ideas of who they might becommunicating with and what “problem solving

As students are engaged in projects to build on theseskills, this change is to be expected.ResultsOver 100 retrospective pre- and post-course surveys were analyzed using mixed factorialANOVA to investigate this study’s research questions and hypotheses. We were interested inseeing if there was an influence of college or gender on the growth in these concepts so multipleone-way ANOVAs were conducted to compare the effect
the field of CS may not be equitable or inclusive to black women. Moreover, the fact thatan overwhelming majority of these participants experience imposter syndrome and struggle withtheir inner confidence further challenges their sense of belonging in the field, which could playan integral role in their overall representation in CS.Challenges that black women face are uniquely different from other groups due to the fact thatthey reside in the middle of the intersection of race, gender, and in some cases class. This uniquedynamic may be indicative for why 50% of the participants feel pressure to show adequatecompetency and perfection in these settings.

In this model, we show a “Potential Engineer” asa starting circle (to the left) that over time might progress into a “Future Engineer”. The “FutureEngineer” is not a specific endpoint, but we might define it as someone who has completed anundergraduate engineering degree. In this transformational process, we show spirals that representthe progress of an individual and their overall growth in efficacy that comes with experiences inthe classroom and labs and outside the classroom in the form of internships, projects, and life.The larger circle that encompasses the “Future Engineer” is the ”Mythical Engineer”, where thisrepresents what a
Blackfeminist standpoint must be promoted collectively through agency (space to share livedexperiences for the creation of meaning) and power (access to knowledge claims).AgencyMarcel [28] states agency is sensing the pre-reflection self. From this frame of mind, agency isan inherent cause of action due to an immersion with feelings and beliefs. Additionally, agencycan commonly be referred to as a space - describing all the dimensions in which we, as humanbeings, exist (e.g., physical, mental, and social), is used to help understand the importance ofagency. According to Alston et al. [29], the freeing or oppressing of any state of thesedimensions directly impacts an individual's ability to project their reality onto their world.Combining the ideas of

This paper presents a selective literature review guided by thesequestions, and concludes with a brief discussion of potential implications for engineeringeducators.IntroductionThe objective of this paper is to explore the ways literature describes the strategies high-achieving black men in engineering use to navigate the social, institutional, and cultural contextof their undergraduate engineering programs. We take a particular interest in the experiences ofthese men on undergraduate engineering project teams. Not only is successful performance onstudent teams indispensable to the undergraduate experience, but demonstration of the ability towork effectively in teams is essential to entering the engineering
the instructor and the students. Kahoot is an onlinetool to create and host interactive quizzes [16]. Students enter a username (their real name or anickname) and answer questions from their mobile device or laptop. Each question has a timelimit, and when the time is up, the correct answer is displayed, and the instructor reviews thequestion with the class. Pear Deck is a slide-based interactive learning tool that allows instructorsto create and integrate interactive activities on each slide during a lecture [17]. For example,students could be asked to draw a specific crystal structure on a certain slide. The instructor canthen anonymously project all the drawings to discuss the correct answer. Across both GSRSs, theinstructor facilitated a
Machine Learning for Kids [17], a learning environment thatprovides detailed instructions for students to generate machine learning projects in Scratch andother programming languages. The researchers selected activities since the activities had imageclassification and supervised learning components. The instructor assigned approximately half ofclassroom to each activity and invited students to move to a different table if they wished to dothe activity that they were not assigned, leaving agency for students to select their activity. Nostudents changed tables.

Practitioner C shared that that it is incumbent upon thepractitioner to create numerous opportunities and options for engagement in virtualprogramming. In addition to learner diversity, adaptability to the participants’ environment andtheir access to resources is important. Practitioner B stated: “In a classroom setting, I typically provide all the materials needed for a structure challenge. In preparing for the virtual structural challenge, I gave the students a lot of options for the challenge. I made sure that all project materials needed could be easily found in the home. For example, for our structure challenge, I suggested students use items like empty

Goals and Beliefs - When you are struggling with a challenging problem/project in your class, what is the process you use to get through those challenges? How do you feel when doing this?Early emerging themes related to the interview question analysis include a general understandingof the importance and likelihood of learning new concepts continually while working in aprofessional role. Students expressed growth in understanding the acceptance of reaching out forassistance from other students and faculty after exploring information on their own as they workthrough challenges in their academic
in-person laboratory experiences. The course used the video conferencing clientZoom as the primary method of communication. If virtual and in-person learning was happeningsynchronously, the Zoom call was projected in the classroom so that all students could see andhear each other. A video and audio feed was also available from the classroom so that studentscould hear each other across platforms.ResultsThe results of both Cohort A and Cohort B’s activities were extremely promising. Students inCohort A had statistically significant improvements in the number of other students they feltcomfortable working with over the course of the semester. At the start of the semester, studentsidentified in the survey that they were willing to work with an
