In both phases, the number of students whodemonstrated procrastination tendencies for every module is relatively low, thus identifying asmall group of students for whom a resource-intensive intervention is feasible.Table 1.

Even in current day UnitedStates, professions like structural engineering have fewer female and minority industry leadersthan those that are White Caucasian male [1], and the same follows for academics in this field.As a result, many faculty members have limited exposure to the notable published works,projects, and other contributions of under-represented individuals to share with students.Historically, entry to professions in the built environment have been riddled by barriers due togender, race, and class. This continues to negatively affect not only the number of women andminority students who choose to

For some activities, the students away from campuscould participate fully in the activities; while for others, they were only able to watch the face-to-face students perform the activity while still completing the assignment. A few activities lentthemselves to be conducted virtually for everyone. For others, the best solution was asynchronous Zoom session simultaneously projected on a classroom screen using a participant’ssmartphone to capture the activity being conducted live. For other activities, an asynchronoussolution provided a richer experience for the students using PowerPointShow, video footages,and Screencast-O-Matic editing. The hands-on activities included arches and

During class, students were given a briefexplanation of California’s Cap and Trade Policy. They then played a game to simulate the openmarket of allowances and see where emissions improvements were and were not made. Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum. From the start of the quarter, students were told they would need to include a socialjustice analysis as part of their Capstone project report. This analysis was required to includemeans

Some utilize project-based learning strategies tohelp establish an understanding of the nature and limitations of engineering models [11]. Someembrace role-play as a way to demonstrate the importance of context and perspective in defining,to say nothing of solving, sociotechnical problems [12]. Yet others have an explicit focus onethics, having students grapple with real-world engineering ethics problems [13]. All of thesecourses prioritized communications and teamwork, and created opportunities for empathybuilding.3. Course overviewMaking the Modern World challenges a

The APS department is using EML as the driver of our newengineering major and minor curricula. This department-wide implementation requires manyfaculty members to get training in EML methods so that they can incorporate them into their newand existing courses. The FLC's goal is to provide new instructional tools related to EML thatbest support the development of a faculty's teaching methods. For their “final project”,participants publish their new EML methods as a “KEEN Card” [9] that is shared with the KEENEngineering Unleashed community.At an R-1 institution like UNC-CH in which research is a high priority, faculty development

roles in theworkplace or viewing themselves as leaders. Grounded in research on engineering identity, thisproject posited that an identity-based approach to engineering leadership may provide a moreefficacious way to develop leadership as part of engineering formation that integrates leadershipinto engineers’ professional identities. To explore this proposition, this project employed asequential, mixed-methods study resulting in development of a grounded theory of engineeringleadership for undergraduate engineering students.This paper shares an overview of the project’s path during the funded period and highlightsinitial findings of how engineering undergraduates define engineering leadership.

other individuals. For example, engineering work producessignificant and long-lasting impacts on society, and engineers are responsible for understandingthe potential societal implications of their solutions [1]–[4]. As another example, engineers maywork closely with communities and stakeholders as part of their problem definition and solutiondevelopment processes [1], [4]–[6]. Furthermore, communication and collaboration are coreaspects of professional engineering practice. To achieve optimal engineering outcomes,engineers must be able to work effectively with diverse teammates and co-workers [1], [7]–[9].Engineering students engage with the social aspects of engineering work in several contexts,including internships and project-based design
, criteria, andconstraints. Each student produced an individual coded design evaluated individually for meeting the project and the group’s statedrequirements. Each group presented together and was evaluated for coherence among the designs and articulation of themes.AFFORDANCES • Students shared personal feelings in individual designs. • Students thought deeply about problem definition with other students. • Assessment boundaries between individual and group work were clear and easy to assess. • The method gave “hope for pandemic group work” to a participating educator. • “The coding assignment it was a fun way to cooperate it into our learning”LIMITATIONS • Thematic unification was weak (e.g., topic, colors, actions.) • Seven students chose
successful training and consistent participation of theconstruction workforce to minimize accidents on jobsites. While traditional safety training hasfeatured classroom lectures and quick toolbox talks, the emerging technology of AugmentedReality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) has recently been utilized by several different groups to attemptto improve construction safety training programs. This paper is presenting the current state of awork-in-progress project to investigate both the acceptance and efficacy of existing AR/VRconstruction safety programs and develop an improved AR/VR construction safety game. Thecurrent stage is the baseline measurement of efficacy using traditional classroom lectures as wellas early planning/creation of the improved AR/VR
