engineering students access, use, and understand information; identify gaps in theliterature, and how this can be used to support information literacy education in theengineering disciplines. Engineering students are required to create, problem solve, andimprove, using engineering principles to develop their skills in technical, environmental,socioeconomic and political aspects of the engineering process. They are increasinglyfaced with the availability of rapidly shifting information types, which are gathered fromsources like Google and Reddit.

Shannon joined the project afterthe grounded theory data analysis was already underway. As a result, she was able to view thefindings of both investigations from a new perspective with more clarity than the authors whohad been engaged with data analysis for a long time. She leveraged this perspective to helpsynthesize the findings of both studies, pinpointing and articulating commonalities and distinctdifferences in the results.

The answers would help demonstrate the students’ writing and technicalskills, previous involvements, and interests. The students are selected from schools all aroundQatar that are interested in robotics and have shown to possess great group dynamics. Typically,the students are selected based on their performance in previous interactions from the STEMactivities and programs hosted by the university where the outstanding and skilled students areidentified and invited to be participate. However, there are instances where the students reach outto participate in such programs or schools would nominate their high-achieving

Eggleston’s paradigm is similar to the “Scholar Academic ideology” proposed by Schiro. “Scholar academics” writes Schiro, “assume that the academic disciplines, the world of the intellect, and the world of knowledge are loosely equivalent. The central task of education is taken to be the extension of the components of this equivalence, both on the cultural level as reflected in the discovery of new truth, and on the individual level, as reflected in the enculturation of individuals into civilization’s accumulated knowledge and ways of knowing” [12].

A recent review by Banerjeecarefully examined 71 peer-reviewed educational research articles, mostly in STEM fields [1].These studies document numerous benefits of lecture capture for individual students, includingimproved learning, higher academic performance, better work-life balance, the ability of studentsto complete and understand their own notes, overcoming language barriers, enhanced studentinterest in
of reading,they must be made aware of the immediate benefit of coming to class prepared with somebackground knowledge of topics to be discussed and their transformation from passive toactive learners.Improvement of self-confidence from reading assignments is one of the chief benefits that isusually not talked about in engineering classes. Background knowledge gained from pre-classreading assignments prepares students for active class discussion and helps them transformfrom a passive to an active learner. Within a positive and supportive class environment, itcould help students earn more recognition and respect from their peers. It boosts students'self-confidence, which results in better student engagement and performance in class. Thisbrings

IntroductionAn adequate supply of quality workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields is vital to continued US economic growth and competitiveness [1]. Communitycolleges enroll almost half of the nation’s undergraduate students, thus their role inundergraduate STEM education is very important, especially for individuals from groupstraditionally underrepresented in the STEM field. With support from the Department ofEducation Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP), a

The course leads students throughdesigning a 32-bit RISC-V processor in SystemVerilog (a hardware description language) andteaches students how to write assembly and C code to run on their processors. We implementedthe diversity and inclusion activities in two sections of the same course (one section had 25students while the other had 30 students) taught by the same instructor.Getting Students to Know One AnotherThere exist many ‘ice-breaker’ techniques that can help students get to know one another [17].The technique we decided to use included weekly seat rotations (so that students would sit nextto different people each week
