In many cases these complex andinterrelated applications can best be demonstrated during a field trip in an actual application1.Field visits enable the educator to expand the students’ view and help students avoid merereflexive application of exercises provided in class. Field visits also expose students to a broaderbackground and mix of common sense knowledge and situational factors

Instruction in HSIs: Specific Instructional Strategies that Work, thatcreated an uptick in resource views.4. Resource Types and UsageThe resource library includes webinar recordings, peer-reviewed publications, videos,presentations, and success stories covering topics such as: ● How to develop competitive ATE proposals at your HSI ● Professional development to improve Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity ● Curriculum enhancement and development to improve Latinx student success ● Data, Theories, and Research Models to inform your ATE research project ● Professional development for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy and Inclusion ● Examples of technician training modules in SpanishFour categories of HSI-relevant resources were initially
graduate students to extend beyond this professionalidentity in order to develop identities as engineering researchers. This identity turn requires thedevelopment of a researcher identity [2], [5], [6]. Three studies, in particular, have devisedframeworks for describing this transformation. The GRADs project proposed an identity-basedmotivation model by integrating the future time perspective and identity frameworks; this modeljoins the future time perspective framework and adds the influences in the past (how identitieswere developed) on goal-setting processes [7], [8]. In 2021, Bahnson et al identified threeidentity references to understand identity development: engineer, scientist, and researcher [2]. Athird framework, the Role Identities of
education research community in the U.S. has specified the nature of instructionalstrategies in retaining students in STEM-related courses, with a focus on an integrated STEMcurriculum designed to improve non-cognitive factors, such as interest, while developingpositive attitudes towards STEM [5][6][7]. Interests and attitudes in science develop early in astudent’s life, and it is important to develop these attitudes as they are motivators towardspursuing STEM fields and careers [8] [9]. More recently, the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) 2017 report on supporting student’s college success hashighlighted the importance of intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies and the evolvingneed for labor market recruits to
learning environment. While the influence of language on educationalexperiences has been the subject of several scholarly papers, no research have looked explicitlyat language use patterns in the field of engineering education or the possible negative effects ofbiased language.In light of this, the present study integrates two conceptual frameworks: implicit bias theory andacademic literacy theory. This approach allows for a detailed investigation into biased languageuse trends within engineering education research, as well as an understanding of how thesetrends diverge from the field’s goals of diversity and inclusion. Implicit bias theory examinesunconscious attitudes and stereotypes that subtly but significantly influence language use

Therefore, we posit that students will become more interested and likely to pursuecareers in STEM fields if they are engaged in science curriculum in ways that allow them to beactive participants in their learning. In an effort to respond to the lacking diversity in the STEMfields and worker shortage5,6, the Engineering Research Center for Revolutionizing MetallicBiomaterials (ERC-RMB) has developed a series of impactful educational outreach activities.These include short term (one-day) workshops, one week programs, and multi-week experiencesaimed at improving overall scientific

The overall goal of this project (NSF-0530365)is to enhance student learning process by implementing an undergraduate curriculatransformation at Old Dominion University that integrates web-based simulation andvisualization modules in several engineering science courses. Although the scope of the projectis quite broad, encompassing a wide range of lecture and laboratory courses in three disciplinesnamely electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, the focus here is on efforts directed towardsdevelopment, implementation and assessment of web-based virtual laboratory experiments

in which to integrate newcontent in an effective manner. The total class time required for all three interventions ranges from 1-2 hourswhich equates, on the higher end, to one class session per quarter. The researchers and instructors of the courseagreed that the number of interventions and required time is reasonable without interfering with the core classmaterial. These interventions are hypothesized to improve engineering students’ sense of belonging and self-efficacy in their majors [14, 15].After considering course assignments and scheduling, the researchers chose a selection of ENGR 104 coursesin which to embed the interventions: Fall 17, Spring 18, and Fall 19. Each course was taught by a differentinstructor however, the content of

Foremost, given the limited time that an instructor has availablefor formative review of student writing (particularly in writing-across-the-curriculum designs),peer review effectively increases a student’s opportunities to receive timely feedback to informrevisions.2,6 Reviews across a breadth of research suggest that in higher education settings, theeffect of peer feedback upon a student’s work is equivalent to the feedback of the instructor.1Substantive revision is a key practice of experts that we must often scaffold in students, and peerreview serves as an organizing circumstance for

MicrosoftExcel. Although a number of alternatives exist, Microsoft Excel (along with Visual Basic forApplications – VBA) is used throughout the mechanical engineering program at California StateUniversity, Northridge (CSUN), and is therefore familiar to all of our students. An additionaladvantage is the availability of this software on virtually every engineer’s computer in theworkplace. Visual Basic procedures linked to “buttons” on a worksheet prepared by theinstructor are used to generate the data used for analysis. The procedures may easily be modifiedfor a variety of purposes, including providing unique results for each computer station orchanging results from semester to semester (to make plagiarism difficult).II.
