We have selected energy, as it is afoundational topic across multiple engineering disciplines, relevant to students’ lived 2experiences, and has important social ramifications. We are targeting a class in the second yearto provide students with a grounding in CSP early in their engineering education so that theymight use these mindsets moving forward. Many students often first see energy concepts in“Introduction to Thermodynamics.” With its grounding in 18th century power cycles and

Concurrent with the 2016presidential election and during the collection of interview data as a part of this larger study, ashift occurred in the national discourse around diversity. As such, we sought to understand howthis shift in the national discourse did or did not influence engineering students in STEMclassrooms. As a part of acknowledging the changing sociopolitical discourse occuring on anational scale in our own research, we included additional interview questions related to studentsattitudes about recent national events while conducting our planned research on students’attitudes about diversity. We felt that this shift in the research plan was warranted to capture howstudent attitudes may be

In ourcomparison, the China program provided more cultural intensity, but both programs seem tohave provided research intensity (i.e., opportunities to be challenged and develop). However, thecultural experience may have outshone the research challenges for the China participants, as theycertainly focused more on those topics during their interviews.Both IRES programs have several more years remaining, and we plan to continue collecting datafrom both programs.

The students described that the advisors werehelpful for staying on track for course and university requirements.

The idea is that socio-cognitive conflict, i.e., disagree-ments with other learners’ conception of the same problem or topic and interaction with peers toresolve the disagreements is fundamental to the learner’s grasp of new

This involves discussing potential theories (often from other fields or disciplines) that could resolve on the unexpected finding. This stage should be treated like ideation in design processes; variety and volume are desired. 3.
