The model’s spiral shape reinforcesits iterative process. The International Organization for Standardization has a standard onBiomimetics that presents a 5-step model without an initial problem formulation and analysisphase [20]. Georgia Tech’s BID formulated a 6-step design model similar to the design spiraluntil the last step where there is no mention of the final design evaluation [21].

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

general.Consistent with our guiding conceptual model, features characteristic of this summer camp,including connecting lessons to the real-world with applications, team building, and professionaldevelopment, seem to matter. Indeed, given that students had no prior experience in coding, theweek-long activities appeared particularly effective in instilling a sense of competence in theparticipants, which may encourage students’ future participation in STEM related educationalpathways and careers. In addition, the camp likely facilitated students’ feelings of autonomy byallowing them to engage in self-directed activities, such as coming up with their own ideas forshowcase projects. A sense of relatedness is also likely a consequence of the camp, as
time [15], [20]. However, by better understanding how people think abouttechnology, and what they consider right and wrong, educators and policymakers would bepositioned to anticipate and respond more effectively to problems as they arise [55]. Forexample, the Moral Machines project sheds light on how people think about the ethics ofautonomous vehicles, as well as the effects of culture and nationality on these judgments [56].Next, claiming the ultimate goal of ethics education should be ethical behaviors does not meanthat curricula need to/should teach specific behaviors [8], [21]. Rather, it simply means thatdecisions about what is taught, assessed, and how are guided by the ultimate goal of increasingethical behaviors. As was mentioned

The lead author, a white woman, receives the reviews, only to find that the reviewer has disparaged the writing style and the methodology, demanding graphs and charts and analysis! The tone of the review is troubling, particularly for a social justice track: as their qualitative study (along with decades of research) shows, the preference for a particular style of writing, for charts and quantitative analysis, often reveals and upholds patriarchal, Western and white supremacist values.
