attractive for the best and the brightest.”—National Academy of Engineering, “The Engineer of 2020” [1].A series of reports throughout the latter decades of the 20th Century criticized STEM educationin the United States for failing to meet demands to remain globally competitive [2]. Such callsincreased in urgency as a series of technologically advancing events of the mid-1990s leveled theglobal playing field in economic and technological leadership – a leveling that authors such asThomas Friedman described as a “Flat World” [3-6]. Looking toward this more competitive,interconnected future, particularly with new developments in the STEM education and workforcein China and India, in 2004 the U.S. National Academy of Engineering

90% of my students (N=87) strongly agreedthat sharing my teaching philosophy is critical. Additionally, underrepresented students wereempowered and archived more than half the “A”s in my courses. In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1]. TPSdeclares the educator’s approach to teaching and learning. Creating a teaching philosophyengages educators in metacognitive reflection on what they

group discussion, listening/paraphrasing, observation, imagination/creativity, and critical thinking. Another key themeidentified was “Appreciating Others’ Perspectives”, in which students expressed appreciation ofthe differences in perspective that VTS discussions tend naturally to draw out. This findinghighlights the potential of VTS as a tool for promoting and supporting diversity in engineering.Based on these data and a brief, associated survey, we learned that students found VTS to behighly effective at helping them become more reflective and was one of the most effectivemethods we have attempted for the development of reflective thinking in graduate engineering.1 IntroductionAs a multidisciplinary team of educators, we have been pursuing

education, visualizing arguments,rhetoric, writing, graduate studentsWhy visualize arguments?Across graduate education in engineering, the importance of communication, particularlywriting, has received increasing attention and for good reason [1]–[4]: communication skills areessential for success in engineering practice, engineering education, and across the academy. Forgraduate students entering engineering education, the literacy and communication practicesrequired of them can be daunting, in part because their previous discourse communities (usuallyin engineering) had different norms for writing, speaking, and developing articles thanengineering education research, and in part because the development of new knowledge oftenresults in a regression

We associate the mastery portfolio with final course grades to illustrateand quantify what a typical portfolio looks like for students in these courses.IntroductionThe use of mastery-based learning or competency-based learning has drawn recent interest in engineeringeducation. Those who have implemented it have reported student learning gains, a better ability to reachdiverse student populations, and more productive conversations with students about grades [1-7].

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 What Factors Influence the Interest of Male and Female Students in STEM (Evaluation)IntroductionTo strengthen our innovation and economy, a focus on STEM (Science Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) is critical [1]. In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with

In addition to the change of instructional modes, the forced closures ofinstitutions also impacted other sectors of the university such as faculty and staff layoffs and lossof revenue from on-campus dining and housing [1]. Furthermore, it has become increasinglydifficult to support students in the virtual learning environment, particularly those in STEMprograms that rely heavily on specialized software, hardware, and lab spaces for coursework [2]. Inengineering education there have been strong efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion(DE&I) of underrepresented minorities (URMs) [3].

Structures DiagramsIntroductionData structures are required topics in computer science (CS) curricula [1] and have semi-canonical diagrams that encode information spatially. Linked lists are an example of a datastructure: they are commonly represented using spatially oriented diagrams (e.g., nodes moving,pointers pointing), and are generally taught in the first or second years of CS curricula. Spatialability strongly correlates with and predicts success in early CS [2]–[6], playing a gatekeepingrole, but little is known about why. Thus, studying linked list diagrams may provide an avenue toexplore the relationship between CS content and spatial ability. However, to the best of ourknowledge, there is no formal documentation on how instructors

about these changes in grading?

In undergraduate education, multiple pathways intoengineering degree programs (e.g., introductory courses offered at regional campuses andcommunity colleges) are often viewed as a way to broaden participation in the field byincreasing access and affordability. However, research within the K-12 context has uncoveredthat educational tracking practices, similar in structure to the pathways seen in higher education,function in ways that perpetuate social inequalities. Often students in less prestigious tracksdevelop lower self-beliefs and educational attainment goals while being offered less resourcesand educational support [3]. Despite these parallels, little is known about how institutionalizedpathways function in higher education
