overcome any obstacles that they might havefaced. This is evident when looking for reasons why engineering students drop out. To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

argue and change their grades.While these features of traditional grading can be criticized for how they can impede studentlearning, we also want to balance the view that these features have their own reason in theeducation system. For example, summative grades are important for managing academicstandings, scholarships, and graduate school admission. One-off examinations are common inprofessional licensure processes (e.g., engineering ethics examination). The complexity behindgrading stems from the fact that grades are not just intended for student learning; they are alsoimportant for social and professional constructs [4].In response to the negative effects of traditional grading, ungrading has been advocated toremove grades entirely from the

This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

Thestudents, without faculty intervention, came up with many of the same solutions as have beenseen in the literature [17].MethodsThe complete survey administered to each class at the beginning of the term can be found inAppendix A.

One feature of the workflow should be regular and ongoing (emphasis added) communication [98]. Transdisciplinary teams are often separated spatially and these

The ability of a similarity engine to retain accurate and precise detectionof plagiarized source code files in spite of the application of mutations is an important factor toconsider in an evaluation

However, there are other presumed merits to theresearch interview approach utilized here in the STEM environment: ● It forces students to confront the impact of science and engineering on a broad population. ● It can “humanize” STEM work, connecting data to people. ● It strengthens soft skills like communication, socialization, and ethics. ● It provides additional training beyond lab or workshop attributes. ● It familiarizes students with government policies that intersect with their

In class, students are tasked withexploring an open-ended problem with the goal of learning a fundamental numerical methodsconcept. The problem is contextualized with a real-world application and used to highlight theachievement of an underrepresented STEM figure that links to the concept.
