According to Lee andCarrasquillo, “[e]very Korean child learns from a very early age that education is the ultimatecriterion for one’s advancement in life. In fact it is their outright responsibility to their parentsand to their family name that they perform at their best in all scholastic endeavors. Because ofthis belief many Korean students perform schoolwork energetically with resilience, tenacity, anda positive outlook,” though Lee and Carrasquillo also caution of the negative impact suchperfectionism can have on Korean students’ psyches.10 Grade concerns were evident among mystudents.

For example, in onerecent effort [22], it was used as a technological tool to aid in the pedagogy of physics, biology,and math lessons, resulting in teachers’ readiness to implement technology as a pedagogical toolin their classroom. The researchers in [22] claimed that a robotics-based learning methodologyhelps students readily visualize and access abstract STEM content knowledge. Recent studies haveadditionally explored varied pedagogical methods for STEM learning with robotics, e.g.,scaffolding [23], visual modeling [24], and project-based learning [25,26], among others.Assessment of

She urges educators to“become better consumers of the mountains of research that have emerged since the1990s.” For example, she highlights the important role the physical environment plays inteaching and learning.We’ve all heard a struggling engineering student say “I don’t have the brains for this” orsomething similar.

Fortunately, even though ethics has a 2,500-year history,resources abound, as detailed throughout this paper.Why Study Ethics?ABET outcomes offer a pragmatic reason for learning (and teaching) ethics; as noted in Criterion3(f) in the engineering program criteria, students should demonstrate “an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.”3 ETAC criteria for four-year programs are similar;among numerous outcomes, Criterion 3(i) includes “an understanding of and a commitment toaddress professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity.”4Beyond practical concerns of addressing ABET or even FE exam

Potential for research collaboration One of the more enjoyable aspects of an exchange, other that observing the students making what for most is their first international trip, is the possibility for research collaboration. Carefully evaluate the research potential of their laboratories and their willingness to collaborate in one or more yearly projects. Do not necessarily expect this collaboration to happen immediately. It may take a year or two to develop, but when it

During the first phase of the research, a multi-disciplinary team of researchersrepresenting engineering, science and technology studies, social sciences, education, andhumanities worked together performing catalyst studies to explore and identify effective cross-disciplinary methodologies for integrating instruction focused on aligning students’ personalvalues and behaviors in sustainability into existing course materials. Following these catalyststudies, larger case studies have focused on assessing scalable and

However, there is reluctance to adopt a WATPS due to a lack of class time, time toprepare, and incentives; student resistance; and the faculty researcher/teacher identity tension [7],[8], [9], [10].A forced change requires instructors to adapt their teaching practices. Forced changes comeabout as a result of pandemics and natural and humanitarian disasters as well as accreditationmodifications and department and university unilateral academic policy decisions. In all of theseexamples of forced change, the motivation for change is external and may be time sensitive. Oneexample of a forced change was the COVID-19 pandemic; it provided an external reason

As such, the CIMC mentors and groupsfollowed a “just in time” format in terms of topics addressed in their discussions, such asmentoring on remote teaching, support for graduate students as research labs were shutdown, balancing work with childcare, and many other relevant and timely topics. As anexample, mentors learned from their new faculty mentees that, due to the pandemic, theywere having a lot of trouble adjusting given socialization (e.g., lunches with colleagues) thatwould have given them much-needed information about their departments and theuniversity.
