groups (SA4)When students reflected on what they needed from their study groups, some trends were similarto those of lab groups. For example, 21.3% of students prioritized individual accountability intraditional learning while only 14.1% did so in remote learning. This downward trend is similarto what students said about their lab groups. With regard to individual accountability, whilestudents made more frequent comments about interpersonal and social skills in remote learningwith regard to their lab groups, the increase in these types of comments in their study groups wasmuch larger. Students in remote learning mentioned interpersonal and social skills with respectto their peer groups at over twice the frequency (22.7%) of students in
-Centred Designing Task composed of two sections: The first was for thestudents to compare the structural development of either district, and reflect and make theconnection of how many of the human needs (of the Matrix of Human Needs of Satisfiers)are already considered in each plan, and therefore see how that is reflected in the quality-of-life reports of the residents of either district.The second section was to design a Human-Centred Design for the people of Shatila, with thepurpose and intention of positively impacting their quality of life in both the short and longrun. They were encouraged to include as many of the human needs (of the Matrix of BasicHuman Needs and Satisfiers) that the people of Shatila ought to have currently missing

codeswere refined to reflect observed patterns in the career possibility discussions in the data.Conceptually similar codes were grouped into a set of categories (Academia, Industry, andOther). Interview questions that probed relative importance or interest in specific career pathswere not asked; as such, the coded mentions of a career path were considered to represent astudent’s awareness of a career possibility. Additionally, the research questions and analyticapproach presented aimed to explore what students perceived as possible rather than plausible ormost interesting.A code was counted if it was mentioned at least once by a participant. Because the intensity ofthe students’ awareness or interest was not the focus of this study, multiple

The significance of faculty being available to meet may reflect the significantdemands that especially minoritized women face in managing multiple priorities on their time.One ethnographic study recounts how Inez, a minoritized multiethnic female student, felt hinderedacademically by her professors’ lack of availability outside of office hours [11]. Anotherminoritized female student, Kitatoi, expressed her frustration with attempting to receive help fromher instructors outside of office hours [39]. As a single mother, Kitatoi had competing prioritiesand a more flexible instructor could have better assisted her learning alongside her continued focuson other important obligations. Cole [41] also found that minoritized students believe
ofengineering, and a time for students to reflect upon and decide the majors and specialties theywill pursue thereon (Ngambeki, 2009). It is also a time when students’ beliefs of engineering andits education are reinforced (Hutchison et al., 2006). The content and experiences offered aspart of these courses present an opportunity to support students in developing their beliefs andattitudes towards engineering. We teach students that engineers design, apply math andscience to solve problems, program, make decisions, have different areas of specialty, but oftenmiss or convey only implicitly that engineering at its core is a human endeavor, one that ispracticed for people, with people, and as people (Fila et al., 2014).

between higher educationinstitutions and governments in securing their repatriation. Back in their home countries, manyinternational students faced issues with unstable internet access, limited space to work and studyin their own homes, and time zone differences which made it difficult to adapt to and learn in theremote setting. These difficulties were compounded for Asian international students by a rise inanti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significantincreases in Sinophobic slurs on Twitter, social media, message boards, and other platforms ofAmerican culture reflected a shift toward blaming the Chinese for the COVID-19 pandemic andamplified negative bias against both international and U.S. Asian students

To mitigate thisthreat, I engaged in memoing processes to help me to reflect upon all of the ways in which mysubjectivities could influence the findings. Additionally, I engaged in a “critical friends” protocolwith trusted mentors and colleagues to ensure that my framework was appropriate, my analysismethods were sound, and that my findings were representative of what the data present [33].Results & DiscussionSTEM IdeologyA recurring theme among all four participants was the reflection upon and

Several assessmentswere used to determine if the online students attained the same experience and success as thestudents in the traditional face to face section. One assessment was a quantitative analysiscomparing the grades of each section. Also, two surveys were created for the students to takeand reflect on their work on the projects and the course. The first survey was given after the firstdesign project and focused on how the course structure aided in teamwork on the project. Thesecond survey was

This is not to say that the women on the siteidentity personally with postfeminism as a philosophy or are even aware of it. The advice theyprovide, however, aligns with dominant postfeminist narratives and cultural ideas about howwomen can achieve success in the contemporary workplace. They emphasize the need forwomen to overcome any other issues or obstacles they may encounter as individuals (whether ornot they perceive of them as being related to gender). Women on the site promote the idea of a‘can-do’ woman who takes control of the situation and is confident.Minimizing and ReframingOne common piece of advice to women often with respect to gendered barriers was to

Engineer, researcher, student, and educator roles are commonly enacted by engineeringdoctoral students during their graduate studies [23]. While these academic roles may align with adoctoral students’ interests, they may also be strictly defined by the institution that the doctoralstudent serves. For example, a doctoral student may or may not be interested in being in the roleof an educator but may have to be a TA as part of their graduate program. However, regardlessof how interested they are in that role, the expectations and structure of their behaviors whenenacting that role are

acknowledging the unequaldemographics of the ECE department. As of the time of the interviews, participation of womenwas only 15%, while underrepresented minorities were even fewer at 5% [16]. Meanwhile, ahigh international student population (38%) [16] posed unique cultural challenges. Thesestatistics appeared to be common talking points at faculty meetings, especially when it came toadmissions and hiring decisions, and faculty generally expressed a desire to see thedemographics of the department more closely reflect that of the population at large. Amongsome faculty, there was also an understanding of deeper concepts related to diversity andequality. For example, some acknowledged factors other than race, nationality, and gender thatcontribute to

They, in a sense, they’re very workaholic. And it’s easy to forget that you’re not just regurgitating information to these kids. You are impacting them. You are affecting them and they may be going through issues. Some people enter college so young that they still don’t know who they are. Like they’re still maturing, they’re still growing […] Not everyone’s gonna be mature and have their stuff together. If you’re not understanding everyone has their own pace, everyone has their own
NILAcurriculum was developed to have comprehensive learning objectives and desired attendeeoutcomes, supplementary pre- and post-NILA curriculum, and evaluation strategy of attendees’gained knowledge and socio-emotional development. After three years of refinement, thecurriculum’s implementation had improved the attendees’ experience and preparation to lead theirchapters which was reflected across inter-organization metrics (e.g., membership, national eventattendance, survey data). However, NILA remained limited in its ability to achieve one of itsintended aims: to align its SHPE’s strategic, tactical, and operational infrastructure to the overallSHPE mission longitudinally, particularly in terms of local, long-term chapter programming.

The ideas we present here are part of a much larger thought process (Authors, 2021, in progress) in which we are thinking about the ways in which we use quantitative methods in engineering education, and how they might be better realigned or reformed to achieve the same diversity and equity outcomes we feel are more readily achieved by qualitative methods at the time. Our treatment and presentation of demographic data variables here represent a starting point. 1 The “doing” of engineering education is full of many delicate power
similar to the one in our paper: for twoinstances of a class (on face-to-face and another flipped) they observed students’ grades,students’ reflections using surveys, and instructor, and peer observations. Similar to ourconclusion, they observed better students’ performance: all students passed and obtained bettergrades compared to face-to-face instructions. Additionally, Hussain et al. reported that “a flippedclassroom model helped high performing students more than lower-performing students.”Several prior studies also reported that the flipped approach is beneficial by reflecting on thestudent engagement[11], motivation, and acceptance by the students[12], but unlike our work, theydo not compare flipped approach to face-to-face instructions

Each grid has a unique code that you can share with your students so theycan access the topics and the videos being posted by the professors and classmates. It is amagnificent tool for reflective learning and for building solid learning communities within yourclasses. As an educator one can post discussion prompts and students may respond with shortvideos, whether they are learning in class or at home. Flipgrid is completely free.

These methods are summarized below.1) Combine synchronous and asynchronous learning options to provide both flexibility for self- paced learning and humanized interactions in the class. [10]–[13]. All the course materials, schedules, and assignments were managed using iLearn. Weekly pre-recorded lectures, usually composed of two or three 30- to 50-minute videos, were posted to iLearn as shown in Figure 2(a). At the end of each video lecture, exercises were added to reflect the topics covered in the video. A shared Google doc was created to collect questions from the students on the video lectures. The weekly video lectures were designed tailored to the weekly lab activities. Students must watch
