In assessment of the student-provided note sheet, Weiman hypothesizes that “it isbeneficial to have students do activities that have them reflect on the course material and how itis organized, such as what they would do in preparing a cheat sheet, but that should not be madean either/or choice coupled with the kind of exams that we give” [16]. Weiman furtherhypothesizes that open-everything exams are better predictors of future success, stating that themore “exams resemble solving authentic problems in realistic environments, the moremeaningful measures they will be of how our students will be able to perform in

diverse workplace are often assumed and not carefully considered. Extantliterature finds that while there certainly can be benefits from diversity, it can also be a source ofconflict and misunderstandings [8], [9]. Increasingly, new types of pedagogy and learning thatrelies on reflection and understanding one’s own identity in comparison to others can lead toincreased group performance [9]. In order to benefit from diversity and inclusion, intentional 4planning and learning opportunities need to be considered.

qualitative sensibility was selected to describe the personalexperiences associated with the issue of liberal arts in higher education engineering courses andprograms. The rationale is that a narrative study affords an opportunity to tell the story throughteacher reflection [17]. The story is a chronological [17], first-person, autobiographical account[18] with prompting from archived annual review documents and subsequent validation fromcolleagues. The classroom settings included one public land-grant and one private institutionwith a mixture of engineering and architecture students in opposing degree granting programs.The narrative context is threefold as it describes a broad timeframe and scope, and then narrowsto experiences in and out of the

The indirect measures based on student surveys reflected a similar endorsement ofthe online approach. Besides the learning outcomes, the exercise of transforming an existingface-to-face course to online delivery, highlighted: effective transition strategies, assignmenttypes, and engagement methods to build a successful course. This case study proposes a stagedtransition to test lecture content and assignments within a traditional lecture-based setting.

The original plan for the project was to work on the foot/ankle, pylon, and socket component of the transtibial prosthetic limb. However, the stump of the client was not aligned axially and render the prosthesis ineffective in walking straight. A universal joint compensator that could readjust the alignment of the stump/leg vertically was necessary and, therefore, an extra year was added to complete the project.The lessons learned from the service-oriented project reflects what others reported [20]-[23] thatengineer students need to interpret non-technical needs from client into technical constraints forthe

Responses to the first question about the dairyfarm indicated that the students learned from that trip at about the same level as the other trips.By the time students enrolled in Quality Management, four students had quit the program andgone back to China, so enrollment was at 102. Organizing and conducting the Labs was timeconsuming for faculty and an added responsibility since the labs took place outside of regularlyscheduled class meeting times. Hence, it was desirable to determine whether the Labs werejustified relative to perceived benefit they provided to students.During the last week of class, students had the opportunity to complete a survey to reflect

We also note that the proposals that were part of the2017 cohort’s submissions were reviewed when the knowledge generation requirement wasstill new; neither program officers nor reviewers had become well-acquainted with what thisaspect of the proposals should reflect. All of these factors likely contribute to difficulties thereviewers showed in properly delineating strengths and weaknesses under the appropriatemerit review criteria.

Unfortunately, too many decisions aboutinfrastructure are overly nearsighted and are suboptimal for community well-being and quality oflife [41]–[45].

traditionally served by the field of engineering due to a lack ofrole models. Although the six-year graduation rate for women is comparable to men [5] and thetotal number of engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded to women has increased by 71% during2006-2016, the percentage of engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded to women held steady atapproximately 20% over that decade [9]. This percentage may be a reflection of a lack of rolemodels as women represented only 14% of the engineering workforce in 2017 [9] and only 17%of engineering tenure-track faculty positions in 2018 [10].Another barrier for entering engineering programs is the prescriptive nature of engineeringcurricula [11].

[14] admit this is a difficult task, especially in terms of quantifyinglatent qualities of such a system. Like structural complexity, we associate each course with ameasure that reflects its position in the overall curriculum – however, it does not appear to have aspecific name like ‘cruciality.’ The individual course instructional complexity is proxied by thepass/fail rate of the course. One could find the average pass/fail rate for the curriculum,mirroring the use of summing blocking and delay factors to calculate structural complexity, butthis could be a weak measure.

In 2017, ASEE surveyed 338 universities nationwide that have four-year degreegranting engineering programs and found that of the 27,412 tenured/tenure-track engineering facultymembers, only .52% were African American women [1]. Although this number depicts a dismalrepresentation, this number actually reflects an increase in the number of African American womenfaculty members in engineering over time [1].There are a variety of reasons why diversifying the engineering ranks adds value.

The complex identity formed as individualsprogress from infancy into adulthood is represented by individual, relational, and collectivedomains (Vignoles, Schwartz, & Luyckx, 2011). The individual domain focuses on personalcharacteristics and beliefs, the relational refers to influence from significant individuals likefamily and friends, and the collective domain reflects on the impact of social groups to which anindividual belongs (Cruess et al., 2015).Drawing from these theoretical foundations, it can be inferred that some undergraduate AECwomen may begin their nascent AEC-PID process even before
