, separating themselves from the situation(s) where the virus waspresent. This may come in the form of switching majors away from science, technology,engineering, and mathematics, to changing departments, universities, or even jobs. To preventthis attrition, ingroup experts and peers inoculate one’s self-concept by creating environmentsthat foster social belonging (Tse, Logel, & Spencer, 2011). In fact, “recruitment and retention ofunderrepresented groups who are newcomers at entry level is closely dependent on the visibility”of ingroup members (Dasgupta, 2011a). A stronger and more stable sense of belonging is onlyone benefit these ‘social vaccines’ can have. Exposure to ingroup experts and peers in high-achievement environments strengthens

Short writing example involving exploration of topics in Physics 230.During the third week of class, students were given a short in-class writing activity in the form ofa classroom assessment technique (CAT) pioneered by Angelo and Cross [22].

a learning environment in STEMeducation [1], but less is known about conducting engineering design challenge activities inhome environments. Although many studies highlight the development of STEM concepts andskills, more research is needed to understand how to support this development through caregiver-child interactions at home. This study aims to (a) investigate caregiver-child interactions thatsupport the development of child(ren)’s STEM conceptualizations and skills in engineeringdesign challenge activities within family pedagogical practices, and (b) examine caregivers’pedagogical expectations within family pedagogy. Guided by Vygotsky’s cultural-historicalview, the authors analyze child(ren)’s development of STEM conceptualizations

grading platform (Marmoset), which is capable of doing functional assessment ofstudent code, but not an assessment of style, nor of design. The shift to automatic grading for onequestion also necessitated that the question had to be highly structured, though the otherquestion(s) were similar to past years. All of the assignment questions required coding in C++.2.2.3 MTE121 Course ProjectThe course project in 2019 was to design and implement a mechatronic/robot system of thestudents’ choosing, while meeting a set of given specifications for the mechanical system(number of sensors and motors) and the software (number of functions); taking place over thelast 5 weeks of the term.

of degrees compared to the number ofindustry jobs (i.e., involving the design, manufacturing, regulation, and sale of products andservices in the biomedical sector) available for biomedical engineers in the 1970’s and 1980’s[9]. However, as more programs have developed and the number of graduates has increased, theratio of graduates to the number of industry job openings has become less promising [6]. Further,research on student job placement shows that the history of BME program development asintentionally broad and unique to each institution’s faculty strengths [9], may have had anegative impact on industry’s perceptions of BME graduates, limiting BME student industrycareer placement upon graduation [5], [9], [11], [12].

. Another page of the survey asked students to select one or two nouns(among 14 options) that best describe the nature of the role they took in the context of the team.Nouns connoted various conceptions of leadership (e.g., Director, Sheriff), fellowship (e.g.,Therapist, Referee), and followship (e.g., Assistant, Secretary).Part 4. Explain Choices. The final page required participants to offer some explanation orclarification of their previous responses by answering at least one of two prompts: (a) “How didYOU decide how much individual effort to invest in each design task?” (b) “What other verb(s)or noun(s) describe how YOU contributed to the design project and functioned within yourTEAM? Why?”AnalysisThe WTCS data were analyzed using quantitative
outcomes, and interpersonal outcomes. Empathic processesresemble the skills dimension of Walther et al.’s [6] model of empathy in engineering andmanifest through perspective-taking, self/other awareness, and related skills. As this modelemphasizes, however, one’s orientation to others and one’s behavioral dispositions also play akey role in determining whether one will empathize. Thus, as one example, numerous factorsinfluence ‘team member understanding.’ Moreover, as Davis’s model emphasizes, this type ofintrapersonal understanding can promote interpersonal action or behavior.Second, empathy can promote positive teaming environments. Such positive teamingenvironments may be evident through a lack of negative valences, such as limited frustration

It starts with the 2019 in-person camps and endswith the 2020 virtual camps.For S.H.E. camp, two tailed paired t-test results, shown in Table 9, show that the camp increased,on average, participants’ interest, understanding, and excitement for engineering. Q1 hadstatistically significant increases with the lowest mean level being moderate interest or higher.Q2 had statistically significant increases and indicated a good to very good level ofunderstanding. Q3’s results indicate participants were excited about engineering before and afterattending the camp. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021
learning) [1], [8], [9], [10]. For the “Minute Paper” the instructor takes a few minutes atthe end of class for students to answer two questions, generally what they learned and whatquestion(s) remains unclear/unanswered. The instructor can review the comments and address themost common comments in the next class as well as quickly assess a student's learning andunderstanding [8]. Eliciting information from students on the topic that is most confusing, or the“muddiest point”, has been applied for years in many different classrooms including GeneralChemistry [8], [9], [10]. For example, King [10] used clicker questions in a large enrollmentGeneral Chemistry course to have students anonymously identify the “muddiest point” from aselection of topics

dataonce it had all been obtained. As the students were working through the videos, the instructorwas able to join the breakout rooms to answer questions and provide guidance.With the data gathering complete, the students continued working in the breakout rooms toanalyze their values and results within Excel. The majority of the time, one person from eachgroup would use the Zoom share screen feature to present their excel spreadsheet so all memberscould work together on the data analysis. Once everyone was satisfied with the results, thespreadsheet and corresponding graph(s) were uploaded to the learning management system forinstructor review and grading.Kinematics and Dynamics lab – Virtual labThis lab begins with a general presentation covering
discussionboards at the same time.From Figure 4, there is an indication that students were somewhat satisfied with thetechnologies/platforms and methods used by instructors/TAs during the online session.
