]).PurposeThe purpose of this research project is to develop an understanding of our community’srelationships and interactions with data, as well as to advocate for the validity andtrustworthiness of small numbers research. The research question guiding this study is: Throughan analysis of qualitative, engineering education manuscripts published in 2019, what is ourcommunity’s relationship with data? We ask this question to begin understanding the EERcommunity’s most recent qualitative research trends, as well as to determine how the calls formethodological diversity have been answered and if small numbers research is part of thisdiversity. To uncover the community’s relationship with data, we will consider the followingquestions: How do we create data

these are to occur in upper years, students would be so much more prepared to handle teamwork for [our Capstone Project].”The most significant criticisms of the event were to make the project more exciting, and to makethe presentation of results more meaningful/involved, as the demonstrations “really killed thebuildup of the entire event”. Based on the above observations, the organizers have mademodifications to the event for its subsequent offerings.3.4 Tron Days 2017Following the lead set forth by the other programs, Tron Days in 2017 was re-designed to focuson a single hands-on project. This change was needed both to address student interest, but also toease facilitation during the event. The students were tasked with building a
indepth look at the effectiveness of the information literacy approach. This has helped to ensure that student and librarian time are being spent most efficiently and with the greatest impact. For continuous improvement ongoing assessments and modifications to the library instruction session and related student assignments are planned (e.g. a resources type awareness and recognition quiz). Also, librarians would like to collaborate further with the engineering departments to apply information literacy rubric analyses to capstone senior design projects. This would inform librarians, faculty members, and other stakeholders as to how students are able to apply the information literacy knowledge and skills gained in previous courses with an open

Do you like it, though?” Other NPMs may havediscerned from other questions that Ciara was not disinterested in the course or engineering. Forexample, early in the discussion, NPM Greer asked about a capstone course that Ciara had takenin high school and that she mentioned in her CATME report. Ciara shared that she “liked thatproject” – an engineering project – very much. For other NPMs, Ciara’s expressions that she hasa desire to contribute to the team but has trouble doing so due to logistical issue likely suggestedher inherent interest in the project and course.Results for Research Question 2: Supportive StatementsAll but one participant (92
], faculty development [17],and e-learning [18].While there are many pedagogical approaches to promote EM, Active Learning Pedagogies(ALP) are extensively cited as an effective approach [9], [10], [18], [19]. ALPs are defined bymethods of learning in which the student is experientially involved in the learning process andinclude practices such as problem-based, discovery-based, inquiry-based, and project-basedlearning. In addition to supporting EM, empirical evidence reinforces the value of implementingactive-learning pedagogies (ALPs) in STEM classrooms – from the positive impacts on studentlearning and performance to the reduction of achievement gaps in underrepresented groups [20].ALPs have been linked to improved self-efficacy and the

The SEET’s multifaceted initiatives for improvingretention include several best-practice components, namely: 1) exposure to engineering practice through two new courses employing multidisciplinary projects8, presentations by practicing engineers, presentations by students involved in co- op education, and presentations by senior capstone design project students; 2) the development of the faculty mentoring program for first-year students; 3) the development of a peer mentoring program for first-year students; 4) the development of an industrial mentoring program for first-year students.We are implementing all four initiatives, and this paper focuses on initiative #3, peer mentoring

Another educatorexperienced similar pushback and stated, “once in a while, a student will raise kind of anobjection on principle that this is not engineering, ‘I’m in engineering, this is notengineering stuff that we’re doing’”. This perception is not unique to students, anotherinterviewee explained as the only educator in the department integrating ESI intoengineering classes, “it ends up being stigmatized… the person that ends up doing it, at leastin my case, ends up getting labeled not a real engineer.” To shift the

As a lab-based course, that capstone focuses primarily on report writing and designingvisuals. While the instructors have been successful at empowering students to produce well-written reports and well-designed visuals, the recurring results of departmental surveys ofstakeholders (e.g., students, alumni, industry representatives) suggested that MAE needed to dosomething more to prepare students for workplace and research communication needs.In the early fall of 2015 and as a beginning step in their attempt to do more

Engineers are involved in capstone engineeringprojects where they experience the importance of issues relating to the sociality of a particularenvironment and learn the impact of contextual issues as they move through the project.

The paper is part of an overall larger project investigating if changes inteaching practices can change student self-efficacy in engineering [1]. Therefore, thefollowing gives a background on self-efficacy, and relates it to students’ confidence intheir learning and to their instructors’ teaching. Also, the following explains howteaching practices can influence students’ confidence. Self-efficacy theory, which has a significant impact on how students view theirown abilities as learners, emphasizes that people’s confidence in performing a certaintask depends on four types of experience: previous success

application of VRT can enhance the student learning experience in many highereducation programs. Many institutes already had some forms of virtual reality programs such as acurriculum, a research center, a project, or additional resources. In 2018, the top 25 best artificialintelligence colleges in the United States implemented virtual reality into their curriculums in avariety of fields including design, engineering, film, music, and journalism [20].. Meanwhile, theDepartment of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Department of History, andDepartment of Systems Engineering at West Point conducted an interdisciplinary capstone in 2016to create a VR experience of the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach [7].
