’ liminal identities areshaped in both traditional and sociotechnical engineering education settings. We believesociotechnical integration is an important topic for the future of engineering education becauseof its potential to improve engineering practice as well as potential implications for diversity andinclusion at both the student and faculty level. We continue to analyze the very rich data we wereable to collect and plan more publications in the future. For example, we are currently exploringwhat the diverse student perspectives on sociotechnical thinking observed in our focus groupstells about what engineering educators should do, accentuate, or avoid when trying to teach tothat range of perspectives. We would be excited to discuss

The podcast wascreated to highlight the experiences and voices of students, faculty, staff, and administratorswithin an ECE department that may not have previously been at the forefront of the department.The podcast was planned as a limited series podcast to highlight several identities and concernswithin the ECE department from a departmental climate and culture study. Episodes featuredstudents, alumni, academic advisors, and administrative leaders discussing a variety of topics.

examined the factors influencing students’ access to work-integratedlearning experiences (WILs; i.e., internships and co-operative education). Several studies haveexamined how WILs enrich students’ academic and career development. Yet, fewer studiesexamine the considerations associated with who participates in WILs and how these types ofexperiences shape students’ beliefs about themselves as engineers or their career plans afterparticipation. This study examines the narratives of 25 students who did and did not participatein WILs to understand why students choose to participate in WILs, the considerations andchallenges to participating in WILs, and the impact of WILs on students’ identity development.This research used an adapted framework of

However,because these settings had analog counterparts that the project team used prior to the COVID-19pandemic, the planning and execution of the five activities listed above were largely the same forthe researchers.

theteaching of mathematics. It was the material embodiment of a radical educational philosophy.” 1LOGO Culture's success showed that complex topics could be taught with the direct use ofcomputers and electronic systems. A turtle that could teach typing, for example, if it wereprogrammed to move in a way that would trace the typed words across the floor. It would thenhave a “pen down” command to do the actual inscription, and a “pen up” command to move tothe next letter.26, 31 These projects showed that it is possible to teach computer programmingalongside and in addition to another subject. This lesson plan structure has become a hallmark ofEducational Robotics and is still used today.30

Thus,student STEM identity continues to be refined and influenced over the course of one’s entire collegeexperience.

The process ofredesigning curriculum gives engineering educators a space to critically reflect on how the taskpositions students in relation to their teacher and interrogate whether this snapshot of the learningenvironment and instructional planning is conducive to a liberatory education.Using a technology integration tool like a Google Document (Google Doc) can fall anywherefrom substitution to redefinition on the SAMR framework.

Additionally, as we plan to use this survey to assess STEMstudents of multiple majors throughout their course of study, the exclusion of domain-basedknowledge as a component of AE is important - individuals may be adaptive and employadaptive approaches to problem solving without displaying strong content knowledge and thus,we can consider the adaptiveness of students at various levels of education as they progresswithin their program.Methodology and Survey DetailsAt Stevens, all first-year students are required to complete a number of subject pool

They all agreed their teams had a plan to split theproject workload up, but so far some team members did not complete their parts. Participantsalso felt there was too much work to equally split between all of the team members.

Source of Learning and Development, David A. Kolb states that “learning isthe process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” [11]. Heproposed an Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) consisting of the following four processes: (i)active experimentation (planning and trying out what is learned); (ii) concrete experience (doingand having the experience); (iii) reflective observation (reviewing and reflecting on theexperience); (iv) abstract conceptualization (concluding and learning from the experience).Abdulwahed and Nagy applied this cycle directly to learning in a laboratory setting [12]. Theytested the effectiveness of the ELC by adding various elements to their educational laboratorythat corresponded with each

COVID-19 pandemic instantaneously impacted the highereducation system where remote learning was no longer an option for both educators andstudents, but more of a necessity [5]. Most universities were not prepared and had to adapt toremote learning practices while causing severe disparity for students of color, students withdisabilities, and students who are caregivers [6]. Thus, pedagogy for remote learning needsevolution to provide a more equitable teaching structure for all participants.Remote learning can be an advantage for a particular degree plan, while it can also be ahindrance.
