Though contextualized and limited to one designteam, the account of these designers is a useful starting point for coming to understand howbeginning designers experience failure in design. These findings also offer insight into the designof educational experiences where failure may occur.IntroductionDesign problem-solving is invariably part of everyday life [1, 2] and design thinking is beingincreasingly adopted to solve problems in a range of

Therefore,it is important to shift faculty beliefs, and in turn, practices, regarding teaching strategies fromprimarily lectures to a more engaging, student-centered style classroom. One way to achieve thisis through professional development programs. These programs have potential to increase facultyawareness of research regarding effective instructional techniques, while also providing spaceand opportunity for ongoing discussion around classroom innovations and active learningteaching practices. Professional development programs facilitate processes where faculty canengage in deep and ongoing learning and discussion around student-centered teaching practices.In turn

’ Epistemological Views of Engineering among First Year Engineering StudentsIntroductionThe research interest in engineering epistemology has been growing as more engineeringeducation researchers consider that students’ beliefs about the nature of engineering is essentialto how they learn, which influences their professional preparation [1]. In a report written by theSteering Committee of National Engineering Education Research Colloquies [1], engineeringepistemology was one of the key research areas for the new discipline of engineering education.Epistemology refers to how individuals view the nature of knowledge and knowing in aparticular domain [2].

women’sexperiences, both in education and in their careers. Much of the research on bias in theworkplace has focused on U.S. and European women engineers. Forty years of social scienceresearch have shown the prevalence of implicit bias against women and the ways in which suchbiases impact decisions in hiring, performance evaluations, and compensation. However, similarstudies are scarce in India.Extremely few women in India were earning engineering degrees in the 1980s. Compared to theUnited States, where about 10% of engineering degrees were earned by women, less than 2% ofengineering degrees were earned by women in India [1, 2]. Fast forward 20 years, and in the year2000 women in India had surpassed women in the U.S., earning 24% of engineering

Our data consist of audio-video records of class discussions and coursework in the pedagogy seminar.

A study at Oregon State University found that working in teams gives studentsopportunities to communicate with others, set group expectations, and practice conflict-resolution,​ all of which are skills that are highly desired in industry [3]. A major goal ofimplementing groupwork into the classroom is to prepare students for teamwork in theengineering workforce, yet students are not learning technical and non-technical skills equally inthese types of classroom settings.

Of particular importance to the University of Illinois at Chicago, as a Minority ServingInstitution, is that racial/ethnic URM students are often also low-income students.

Yet, there is little research about how students are learning whileworking on these problem sets. The first author of this paper has addressed this in her prior work,and this study of open-ended modeling problems is derived from her findings [1]. Examiningstudents working on homework in control systems and fluid mechanics courses, she foundstudents are mostly engaged in conversations to get their homework done instead ofconversations to build knowledge about disciplinary concepts.

In prior publications, the results of anonymous student feedbackcollected at the end of the semester have been reported, including: quantitative results ofLikert-scale responses to five common questions; and representative comments to open-ended questions. These prior results suggest that at least two responses are predominant,namely: 1) rejection of mastery learning as “unfamiliar”/“unfair”, or “lazy on the part ofthe professor”; or 2) welcoming of mastery learning as “empowering”, or “an opportunityfor self-ownership of learning on the part of the student”.

It is well known that they have apositive effect on measures of student academic performance including retention and graduation rates [2]. Learning communities alsohave been shown to facilitate both the academic and social transition to college for first-generation students [3]. These characteristicsare especially important in the graduation of students underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)disciplines including women and African-Americans
