The study analyzed the perceiveddevelopment of communication, professionalism, lifelong learning, teamwork, and reflectivebehavior skills related to co-curricular participation. Some findings from the study include higherreported teamwork and reflective behavior related to participation in any of the three categoriesof co-curriculars, lower reported communication skills for students participating in URM clubswhen compared to peers who did not, and higher reported teamwork skills with

Expanded research in the engineering education context can lead tomore closely aligning instructors’ teaching styles and students’ learning styles.IntroductionIt is well established that there is often conflict between the instructor’s teaching style andstudents’ learner styles in the engineering classroom [1]. The use of adaptive learning as ateaching style facilitates several learning styles, complementary to the traditional lecture style.Learning styles including sensory, intuitive, visual, auditory, inductive, deductive, active,reflective, sequential, and global [1], can all be incorporated into

Noddings [2]described the attributes of the teacher as a carer. In such a role, she proposes teachers should beattentive to the needs of students, responding always in such a way that the caring relation ismaintained. She emphasizes additional attributes of caring teachers: the ability to listen, theability to empathize with the student, and the ability to reflect upon the actions to be taken in caseof need. Finally, caring teachers should also promote a caring environment, encouraging theirstudents to read and respond to their peer’s feelings. Gholami and Tirri [3

Measures ofstudents’ self-reported commitment to career have primarily been used by others as outcomevariables [10], [11]. In our analysis, we model the possibility that commitment to an engineeringcareer may serve as a motivator to obtain the knowledge and credential often necessary forstudents to obtain their occupational goals. Because these are early career students, we expectthem to have relatively low commitment to the field of engineering in this baseline data, butmodeling their expressions of commitment throughout their undergraduate education may helpus better understand their

By reusing the same test questions every time a course is taught, instructors may not be gradingan exam that is actually reflective of whether a student has learned the material. In this case, it is alsoarguable whether or not the student committed an act of academic dishonesty. Instructors must beconscious that their exams have, in all likelihood, been shared by one student or another. It is essentialthat new and original tests are created each time the course is offered in order to determinewhat level of mastery their current students have actually achieved.In many college

, “Students’ agency beliefs involve how students see andthink about STEM as a way to better themselves and the world along with being a critic ofthemselves and science in general [20, p. 939]. The critical thinking perspective is intimately tiedto engineering agency beliefs, where students become “evaluator[s] of STEM as well as becomecritics of themselves and the world around them through self-reflection” [39, p. 13]. In essence,agency beliefs in this framework are based on a spectrum of how students view engineering as away to change their world or the world at large.Most agentic frameworks in engineering education used qualitative research methods.

Inaddition, teachers also noted that they especially enjoyed the lecture topics that coincided directlywith lab experiments, as this gave them a sense of how-to best design lessons for their own studentsby being able to actively take on a learner’s perspective. These comments were made immediatelyafter the first 2-weeks of the PD program.
