The assessmentof the effectiveness of this new class was conducted by comparing exams and feedback of students bythe end of the semester. This class provides students with sufficient knowledge of both fundamentalstatistics and practical data analytical techniques for engineering fields, comprehensive experience indata analytic workflow, and the opportunity to exercise their data analytical skills in engineeringapplications.Introduction and BackgroundData science is an emerging field based on statistical methods and machine learning techniques toconvert extensive

-peer interaction is to form social cohesion between the students anddevelop a shared purpose. In addition, the bootcamp provides for engagement between thestudents and the faculty that execute the bootcamp units. The faculty-student engagement hasbeen shown to be a key factor in retention.The expected outcomes from the MDaS Bootcamp include: • Students recognize each other and form long-term peer connections. • Students recognize and become comfortable with project faculty. • Students can explain the types of work data scientists perform and their potential impact. • Students can write scripts within Python that enable them to solve basic problems using data science methods

These include flexibility, trying newthings, having an enthusiastic attitude, and effective time management [5]. Conversely, thereare certain skills that could be helpful to a new academic that are not likely to have beendeveloped while in an industrial position [3]. These skills or experiences include motivatingstudents to learn, assisting struggling students, effective course planning and delivery, starting anindependent research program, obtaining external funding, writing rigorous assignments andtests, handling students in the

Indeed, researchers have found that minoritized students “wouldbenefit if colleges and universities attempted to deconstruct climates of intimidation [4].” In a comprehensive study of Latinx graduate students in STEM at a Hispanic Servinginstitution found that “Faculty mentors played a greater role in their success compared to theirnon-Latino peers.

gender identities that have been historically underrepresented in engineering programs. Using participatory action research (PAR) and qualitative research methods, this study explores whether engaging students in a series of focus groups can help disrupt negative teamwork interactions and encourage inclusive student engagement with team projects in an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering class. All participants in this study are engineering students at a college of engineering in New England, and include 6 undergraduates in the focus groups and two undergraduates (one junior, one senior) who served as peer facilitators.

purposes reported an enhanced learning experience at aChinese public university. Further, Hurst, Wallace, and Nixon [3] surveyed undergraduatestudents and concluded that students believe social interactions increased their enjoyment oflearning, interest in topics, and level of responsiveness. Beyond academic success, engineers ofthe 21st century must effectively engage with peers [7], and as noted by Passow [7], teamworkand communication are among the most valuable skills in the engineering industry. Byresearching these benefits, educators can capture and incentivize the positive attributes ofstudents’ interactions. Further, such research often requires methods, like SNA, forcharacterizing interactions of the research participants.Social Network

are multiple factors thataffect the experience of graduate students as they transition from their previous identities to therole of researcher and scholar. Our review of the literature paired with our personal experiencessuggest that there are several factors that affect these three aspects of graduate student identitydevelopment. First, students are more likely to develop a stronger graduate student identity when theyfeel more competent in their disciplinary and writing skills (Burt, 2014). In a study thatinvestigated the impact writing had on graduate student identity, graduate students shared thatthey often feel ashamed of their work and compare themselves to their peers (Del Toro, 2017).Students were afraid to share their work in

This was not thecase when the LEAP project began but was initiated as UVU sought to incorporate more HIPsinto the curriculum. Each program was charged with designating two required courses as WritingIntensive Courses. The Writing Enriched Committee recommended that faculty of these coursesneed to intervene in students' writing processes by providing in-class instruction, guidingfeedback on plans and drafts, and engaging in one-to-one conversations with students aboutwriting. Key HIP characteristics of the writing intensive courses dovetail with the capstoneprojects but reinforce “interactions with faculty and peers about substantive matters” and“periodic, structured

are important to identity, interests are part of identity formation, too. Byconsidering CS students’ interests in a broad range of activities, we can help potential students seethat students in CS share some interests with them, even if they struggle to find peers and mentorswho represent their race, gender, disability status, or other factors relevant to them. Exploring thiswill allow us to show diversity of interests, one of the few areas in which CS is diverse.Engineering is defined by the students who become engineers, and by the people who educate thosestudents. The question of “What is engineering?” cannot be answered without also answering“Who are engineers?” Our hope is that we can improve the discipline by providing a more

Namely, rather thanbeing delivered in a lab setting as in prior work, the ecological-approach targets carefully selectedpopulations—classrooms with specific, known demographic disparities in performance. Theintervention is adapted to these classrooms via focus groups. Rather than being delivered by anexperimenter, course instructors or TAs are trained to deliver the intervention and to engage theirstudents in peer discussion around the intervention. These peers are not random strangers but ratherclassmates with whom they will work together over the term. The

In our research projects, students were encouraged to reflect onthe lessons learned from the activities either in writing or orally during class postmortemdiscussions.There is consensus among members of our department’s professional advisory board thatprofessional practice invariably requires strong verbal and written communication skills.

,contract grading is associated with building equity and inclusion [9]. However, not all authorsagree on the merits of contract grading [10].Contract grading has been used more often in writing courses and is notably promoted by AsaoInoue [1,9]. In examining existing literature, there are very few examples of contract grading inengineering courses [11]; no published articles from the United States were found. However,contract grading is especially applicable in process-oriented courses, and it may increase studentaccountability since they know the requirements at the onset of the class. In addition, contractgrading systems where students can repeat an assignment that falls below a threshold (i.e.mastery learning) may be advantageous for students in

This vision can be challenging to highlighteffectively in the ‘day one’ excitement and angst, or after the lesson flow of the course hasbegun. The framing focus can motivate students and help them connect the course objectives toachieving their goals. Providing a framing structure in the course will help students take that firststep, or next step, on their career path.The pre-course session may also provide scaffolding and pre-teaching content to better preparestudents for the course

social benefit interest – feeling like your work has apositive impact on society – is an important factor of persistence and overall job satisfaction[32][33]. Social benefit interest has been studied in terms of gender: women place moreimportance on altruistic values at work [34]; are more likely to explain their interest inengineering based on societal contribution [12], [35]; are more likely to specialize in “sociallyconscious” engineering disciplines [36]; and rate impact-driven work as important more oftenthan their peers [24]. High social benefit interest is often studied in relation to public sector work[32], [37], but has also been investigated in engineering [38]. Although there has been a lot ofrecent research into ethical AI use [39
