that hinder or support role identitydevelopment in graduate school. In addition, this framework for engineering graduate student identity development has thepotential to increase understanding of doctoral students’ experiences, particularly those ofhistorically marginalized graduate students, and how institutions may better support the identitydevelopment of all students. Furthering understanding of identity development in graduateschool supports the development of a more representative engineering workforce throughincreased understanding of the identity experiences of engineering doctoral students. Thus, thiswork may have implications for persistence and representation in graduate school and academia.References[1] S. L. Rodriguez, C
measure several factors related to how students felt about their place in the engineeringcommunity, their attitudes towards engineering, and their perceptions about their future inengineering. In this study, we examined survey data for a subset of the population, first-generationcollege students. Students were asked to indicate their parents’ level of education, and those whoreported both parents/guardians obtained “less than a high school diploma,” “high schooldiploma/GED,” or “some college or associate/trade degree” were classified as first-generationcollege students. Students who reported parent(s)/guardian(s) completed a “bachelor’s degree” or“master’s degree or higher” were classified as continuing-generation college students. Of the
these identity frameworks in the broaderliterature. To be fair, in the broader literature there have only been a few claims that identity isexplicitly distinct from other constructs such as self-efficacy2 or the expectancy-value theory ofachievement motivation.3 However, in the last five years some have made this distinction. Forexample, Lent, R. W., Brown, S. D., & Hackett, G.4 expand on Bandura’s theory of self-efficacyto the extent of illuminating the importance of self-efficacy in academic persistence. While thisis not explicitly identity, self-efficacy is a theoretically relevant construct that had to be takeninto consideration in this review as it is often associated with identity measures.Table 1 Categorization of Identity Studies by

Our resultssupport our hypothesis, suggesting that interdisciplinary studies are appealing to URMs and mayhelp alleviate the push-pull pressure by bridging engineering with careers they better identifywith.

to effectively argue their design solution is independent of thedisciplinary diversity of the team.Discussion and ConclusionsThe goal of this research was to investigate the relationship between disciplinary diversity andeffectiveness of design argumentation to determine if disciplinary diversity can be disregarded asa significant factor when analyzing engineering design teams’ argumentation skills. AsKrishnakumar et al.’s research on this data set determined that interdisciplinarity of a design teamdid not relate to the outcomes of the engineering projects or the quality of the design pitch asdetermined by sponsor satisfaction [41], our results also showed no statistically significantcorrelation between disciplinary distance and design
) levels to ensure that every student seeking anengineering degree is afforded the necessary support systems to complete degree requirements.Future WorkFuture work of this study includes associating the impact of grades with the socioeconomic factorsidentified by Bandura which include racial gaps, school sector, school environment, and familyconditions. A survey was created and administered in the Fall of 2022 with a cohort of studentsenrolled in a Rigid Dynamics course. Specifically, students were asked about the non-academicfactors that affect their academic performance such as family responsibilities, employment, andfinancial issues. The data is under review, and more will be collected in the Spring 2023.REFERENCES[1] Abdi, H. M., Bageri, S

Traditional moral emotions discussed in the previous section appeared in ourdata (e.g., anger, disgust, guilt, pride), but students also used other expressions to describeemotions they experienced. Emotional expressions could be classified into three broad themes:subsequent negative emotions, anticipatory negative emotions, and positive emotions. Thiscategorization was influenced by Pekrun [30]’s classification of achievement emotions. Pekrunclassified achievement emotions in academic settings into activity emotions and outcomeemotions and divided the outcome emotions into prospective/anticipatory emotions andretrospective emotions based on the time at which the emotions are experienced.

effective way for educators to battle this challenge. This paper describes a tool,SHAvisual, which addresses this issue for the secure hash algorithm (SHA). SHA is a family ofcryptographic hash functions that the National Institute of Standards and Technology beganpublishing in the early 1960’s. SHAvisual is designed to help students learn and instructorsteach the SHA-512 algorithm. It consists of three major components: Demo Mode, PracticeMode and Full Mode. A separate global view window helps highlight the current procedure inthe algorithm pipeline. The Demo Mode provides a simplified SHA-512 visualization and isuseful for the instructor to demonstrate important operations in the classroom. The PracticeMode is designed for students to learn the
