originallydeveloped elsewhere to align with their institutional culture and approach, as well as studentexpectations. Because educational interventions may affect student learning, implementing aninnovative instruction should value individual instructors’ pedagogical decisions as experts intheir institutional context. This single-participant study reveals that this Freeformimplementation at an institution quite unlike the institution of Freeform’s origin is associatedwith significant adaptation to local institutional context.

Related termsthat commonly appeared in these 29 papers also included: caring (20 papers), respect(ful) (17papers), ethic(s/al) (15 papers), and altrui(sm/stic) (14 papers). A detailed exploration of notionsof care in engineering was conducted by Strobel et al. [41]. Kindness may be more active andpersonal than care, as in showing kindness to others (or even oneself), and avoids potentialconfusion around notions of care and diligence in conducting accurate calculations. This quickanalysis shows the inter-relatedness of the ideas of kindness, compassion, empathy, and caring,illustrated somewhat more clearly in the

The maximumresponse count was 171 for the first experience listed, which can be argued as possibly the mostimpactful experience on students' professional identity.The responses for the prompt were analyzed using thematic analysis [26].

Hence, we intend to interview studentsto understand how they perceive the study abroad program’s marketing materials.References[1] S. Jorgenson and L.

ProgramsWhile literature examining the term “onboarding” specifically is limited within higher education,programs designed to support newly admitted students are commonly described in first-yearexperience literature [20]. These programs are meant to support students’ transition into collegeand have been around since as early as the 1600’s. In fact, Harvard College implemented anorientation program that connected new students with current students in 1636 [21]. The firstonboarding programs were primarily designed to support the transition of new students into post-secondary education. Today’s onboard programs vary among institutions, but it is common tosee one- or two-day orientation programs, first-year seminars, welcome weeks, and commonbook reading

emerged [1].As technology advanced and grew, society’s problems and needs became more complex andspecialization areas became more specific, allowing more engineering disciplines to take shape.Examples of engineering disciplines taking shape more recently in the past few decades includeusability engineering [5], web engineering [6], and mechatronics [7]. In some cases, additionaland more specific disciplines are considered ‘branches’ or ‘sub-disciplines’ of the ‘original’disciplines that many consider to be the primary engineering disciplines: civil, mechanical,electrical, and chemical [8]. For example, in Dixit et al.’s [3] book describing the history ofmechanical engineering, he also explains production engineering, industrial engineering

Eight common underlying causes of conflict are thenintroduced [23]: • Attitudes • Perceptions • Personal goals • Behaviours • Communication • Resources • Conflict styles • ValuesReferring to this list, students are asked to consider which cause(s) may have underpinned theconflict they described and to reflect on how their knowledge of the underlying cause(s) mightaffect or change their solution.

the ADVANCE program, although strides have been made at the undergraduatelevel, yet the number of M.S. and Ph.D.’s awarded to underrepresented groups has not increasedappreciably since the mid 1990s [3], [4]. For instance, between 1997 and 2017, the number ofHispanic undergraduates grew from 14% to 24% whereas Hispanic faculty only increased from3% to 5% during the same time frame [5]. Zellers et al. [6] reported in 2008 that less than 10%of the full professors in sciences were women and only 3% of assistant and associate professorswere African American.There were 12,156 doctoral degrees were awarded with Native Americans earning 0.3% of thePh.D.’s, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders 0.6%, African Americans 4.2%, Hispanics 6% and women23.6% in 2018

In summary, this work-in-progress paper presents a survey that measures a range ofoutcomes to assess the impact of a first-year engineering design course. By surveying thestudents at the beginning and end of the semester, positive changes in student self-efficacy andstudents’ perceptions of their skills are measured.References[1] A.

What are the experiences of students who worked collaboratively on the take-hometest? How likely are students to seek help on this assessment? And where are they getting thissupport? By examining these questions and offering opportunities for students to share theirreasoning for opting in or out of the take-home tests, we will have a broader understanding oftheir decision-making and explore connections between critical thinking and collaboration.Bibliography 1.
