expanding the inventory ofavailable electrical components and changing the intended client of the device.In the future, we will more formally assess the success of each design experience using thefollowing criteria: 1) percentage of teams that complete successful prototypes, 2) number ofstudents in each team contributing to work (as measured by peer review), 3) student satisfaction(self-reported), and 4) quality of student feedback to other teams. We will also perform aqualitative analysis of the responses to reflective questions teams will answer about the designexperience as part of the lab write-ups.

reflection for makerspace staff to consider when creating a makerspace that encouragesbelonging. To promote a culture of belonging in academic makerspaces, this study suggestsadministrators and staff members should consider the variation in understanding how onebelongs to a space.1 IntroductionAcademic makerspaces are spaces where users learn, share, and create new knowledge throughthe act of building physical objects using tools and supported by expertise from mentors or staffmembers [6], [8], [9] . Building equitable makerspaces is a major goal for many makerspaceproponents in order to increase access to knowledge that was once out of reach for many [10].Prior research has shown that access to tools and expertise in makerspaces can improve
successful? The depth of knowledge is shown across responses asindicated by a sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge and technical expertise comments. Otherrespondents mentioned technical rigor or examples of advanced skills, such as disciplinary engineeringsoftware. Attitude is reflected in the fact that a serious attitude to study or work can make graduates standout and thus make them successful. The multidisciplinary setting replies suggest that students' exposure todifferent disciplines helps to build a holistic understanding of design and construction. Respondents feltthat this 'exposure to different disciplines' setup would enable students to excel and succeed based on theirability to interact with others and to develop better solutions

Initial findings from the open-ended questions from the questionnaire fromthematic analysis of the responses are analyzed fully in [2].Though not necessarily foundational to this work, the authors find inspiration from three otherstudies with similar objectives. First, Cech discusses an idea that beliefs of professional work canimpact intra-profession activities in the workplace [11]. Cech reflects that the engineeringideology of technical/social dualism may have a role in the gender wage gap in the field.

the new concentration will be in effect from Fall 2023 or latestFall 2024 to recruit new students. The plan for assessment for this new concentration is bifold. We expect to invitean external reviewer from similar program and concentration to review our curriculum progress and provide usfeedback. In addition, we plan to monitor the enrollment numbers to see if it reflects what the market study shows.The expected enrollment is 50-60 students and gradually increasing. The committee will continue to meet at leastonce or twice in a semester to follow the progress of the proposed concentration.

workshop has been submitted and currently in review.In this paper, we intend to reflect on the successful features of this workshop series and thelessons learned throughout the three offerings. Over three years, 2019, 2020 and 2021, theprogram supported 103 participants on 51 teams from 2YCs. The program assisted at least 312YCs submit their S-STEM proposals to NSF, and 12 of these 2YCs received S-STEM grants.An additional 2YC proposal was first recommended for an award, but the proposal wassubsequently declined for reasons unconnected to the content of proposal itself. The 3-yearfunding rate is 39%; if the above-mentioned proposal that received an award recommendationbut was then declined is taken into account, the award rate is 42%.Description

It wasthe latter that was perceived to happen infrequently, as it requires abstraction of strategies fromthe particular learning context and the effortful search for their relevance to a new problem [10].Research on improving transfer among engineering students has built on these theories toemphasize the need for teaching fundamental concepts and their relevance for application in newsituations for students to achieve “mastery” [11].

This is reflected in a 2006 statementfrom a group of leading engineering educators titled The Research Agenda for the NewDiscipline of Engineering Education [2, p. 259] where “engineering epistemologies” is cited asone of five research directions. Epistemology is there defined as “research on what constitutesengineering thinking and knowledge within social contexts now and into the future.” That broaddefinition is applied in “drastically different ways” as Beddoes [3] found
the assigned process mechanicallybecause their project deliverables follow the steps in the process. Engineering students need to study design. In other disciplines, students begin by observingthe phenomena to be studied, but engineering students are plunged into a design process (especiallyin cornerstone design courses) before they have ever seen anyone design. Indeed, engineeringstudents learn about design in cornerstone design courses, but they learn only one process, whichis a limited perspective, and they have little opportunity to reflect upon the process and consideralternatives. By observing more experienced students and professional engineers, new engineeringstudents gain a richer understanding of design. Moreover, this type of
modules developed to support different levels of researcher and student atUMD. The presentation was well received and, some faculty in the CEE department wish toexplore ways to further integrate equitable citation practice into their graduate curriculum.Assignment ProposalAfter the presentation on citational justice, faculty in the CEE department became interested inintegrating critical citation practice into their graduate student’s research requirements. One ofthe faculty members developed a short reflective assignment for the graduate students theyadvise to complete. Included in this assignment was identifying who is most cited in the field,analyzing their identities, and reflecting on identities that were underrepresented or missing.After

By extension, reported network measures such as degree (or the average number ofunique coauthors) would not be reflective of the collaboration experiences of non-white andAsian computer scientists. Further, this work posited this difference would skew in favor ofwhite and Asian scholars. That is, if the “average” (e.g., race-neutral approach) computerscientist has x number of unique collaborators, then minoritized

students are positively disposed toward engineering ethics content [18].Beliefs and assumptions about disciplinary coherence and autonomy (or lack thereof) shape ourthinking and are not usually the subject of critical reflection. The analysis presented here drawson the literature on interdisciplinarity to engage in such critical reflection. The intent is not todenigrate or devalue disciplinary expertise, but rather to understand the ways that disciplinarythinking and structures limit the possibilities for bringing academic expertise to bear in contextsthat are not organized by disciplinary structures.How Research on Interdisciplinarity Clarifies Its Purposes and ChallengesRobert Frodeman provides an approach that is particularly useful in the
, students complete two exam problems toassess mastery of the last three weekly topics. Quiz problems were on average slightly lessdifficult than exam problems, as reflected in the overall average scores. A total of 8 quizproblems and 8 exam problems were completed over the course of the semester.Since quiz and exam problems test specific concepts, this study also investigates whether therelationship is stronger for certain concepts than others, e.g. simpler fundamental concepts at thestart of the semester vs. more advanced topics require integration of multiple concepts.The Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotations (PSVT:R) is a timed standardized test ofmental rotations commonly used to assess spatial ability.

earned a graduate degree in ChE through their studies. With this in mind,one comparison that we intend to make is comparing the frequencies of earning a degreebetween Groups 1 and 2. This comparison would seem to show whether the graduate bridgingcourses helped students achieve their ultimate goal: a graduate degree in ChE. However, thiscomparison is somewhat fraught by the idea that some students may take the bridging courses (orad-hoc measures) and realize that they no longer wish to pursue a graduate degree in ChE, thusnot applying to or dropping out of the graduate program entirely (which is not necessarily a“bad” outcome and does not necessarily reflect the quality of their preparation - graduate ChE isnot everyone’s cup of tea!)

Notably, asset-based practicescannot be disconnected from the realities and multiple worlds that BIPOCx people in engineeringface (Mejia et al., 2022). Thus, PD activities should provide room for deep reflection andpurposeful iteration and center the voices of those impacted.Comparative Critical Theories Derived from legal scholarship, critical theories offer an analytical lens to examine racialand ethnic inequalities experienced by BIPOCx individuals.

theteaching and learning of a physics course through the students' perception. The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience
