) framework to actively promote research quality.Our reflection data illustrate how numerical reporting conventions, formative life experiences,and professional aspirations can all affect a young engineer's perception of the relevance ofvariability. We conclude with a discussion of implications for instructional practice.IntroductionVariability—the phenomenon of non-identical values—is core to modern science. The movebeyond calculating averages to the study of real variation is one of the most important scientificdevelopments of the 19th century [1]. Ernst Mayr [2] positions variability as fundamental tounderstanding evolution through “population thinking.” Statistics as a discipline exists in largepart to develop techniques to study variability

2020 [13 and 14]. The key message gleaned is that engineering education has toadapt to the challenges of the future.  For engineering education to adapt for the challenges of the future, curricular changes are needed –but those must be part of a larger systemic change in the organizational culture of engineeringeducation. Faculty are the critical component in achieving the necessary systemic transformation.Facilitating the development of desired skills, dispositions, and reflective habits of mind within ourstudent populations requires a critical mass of faculty able and eager to embody and enact thesedesired characteristics. How can we assist faculty to be vital stakeholders in the cultural shift weseek within engineering education, a shift

They submittheir work to the instructor and share their results with their team members. At the end of thesemester the students reflect, using an online survey, on the role the individual prototyping andtesting experience played in their (1) contribution to the team, (2) learning of technical matter,and (3) confidence in working a design project in the future.This paper reports on the student responses to this reflection.

These changes included: ● Creation of a pre-class/-lab assignment ● In-class/-lab discussions ● Collaborative creation of team and Class/Lab RulesAt the core of these course additions were case studies related to diversity and inclusion issuespresented at the STEM diversity forum. Students were tasked to read the case studies, reflect onquestion prompts and submit their ideas towards the creation of team or class rules that could beput in place to prevent the situation or what action they would take if they witness similarsituations on their own team or another team.

Therefore, students are oblivious to thebenefits of the methods and thus are resistant to the learning approaches. The method employed toaid this problem was developing a series of worksheets that use IBL strategies to introduceintroductory engineering material. Preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of this approachwas conducted by comparing summative exams and real-time feedback of student thoughts usinga daily in-class reflection. Preliminary analysis of the exam comparison and student reflections ispromising. From reflections, the majority of the students filled out the statement sections of thereflection sheet.

Coupled with the EWS, we used data from students’ use of variousinstructional technologies during the course through a digital coaching application calledE2Coach. The E2Coach system provides students with a variety of resources including:weekly help messages, exam preparation (before the exam) and reflection (after theexam) tools, a weekly checklist of tasks that will help students prepare for the class, agrade calculator so students can estimate their grade based on past and planned futureperformance, and various online systems for reviewing academic

Adetails of the experience interview asks the interviewee what they actually do in a particularexperience in order to put their experience within a certain context.

The DRIEM also represents that an individual’s researcher identity exists with, and isaffected by, their multiple other identities and/or future self. The collaborative, iterative processof developing this model led to identifying four propositions: 1) Researcher identity affects and isaffected by reflection on research actions; 2) Researcher identity is fluid and can dissolve orsolidify; 3) Researcher identity and interest in research are influenced by social contexts; and 4)Students’ researcher identity and perceptions of research are influenced by their initial dispositionsand beliefs about researchers.
