This Spring, faculty and staff participated in aseries of workshops discussing our role in serving Hispanic students and developing plans forprograms and activities on campus that embody our HSI identity. Spanish is the second mostwidely spoken language in New York City; therefore, in order to remove language as a potentialbarrier for recruitment and promote our identity as an HSI, the IUSE program information wastranslated to Spanish and is available on the website and as print marketing materials.ConclusionOverall, these preliminary results suggest that targeted pre-transfer and post-transfer supportsimprove transfer student outcomes.

Outcomes testing is a good way to determine where a particular course fits into the overallcurriculum or degree plan. Based on the results of this outcomes survey (Figure 24), it appearsthat the VaNTH Biomechanics modules can contribute to the following ME outcomes: PO #2 – Ability to solve open-ended problems; PO #4 - Ability to setup, conduct and interpret experiments and to present the results in a professional manner; PO #5 - Ability to use modern computer tools in mechanical engineering; and PO #6 - Ability to communicate in written

This paper will summarize and synthesize our key findings across the threequalitative data strands. By shedding light on the factors that influence student motivation toengage with social justice content in engineering courses, we can help other faculty who areworking toward related curricular transformations at their institutions.MethodsIn a
have been anticipatedby engineering educators to meet these rapid changes [2]. However, the current structure of a4-year engineering degree continues to lag behind more nimble approaches to training theworkforce, such as partnerships between companies and mass open online course (MOOC)providers [3]. Although accreditation plans show intentional opportunities for students to accessand integrate knowledge independently in design courses, internships, or research experiences[4], there is a growing acceptance that learning should be directed by more than pedagogy alonein order to educate engineers. Our vision to meet the challenge of accelerating change is to construct engineeringcurricula that are guided by both andragogy (self-directed

For example, the invited lecturer who teaches the section of radiographywill host a lab session where students have a chance to see every part of an x-ray machine, take imageswith it, and take several measurements of dose and image quality. This type of hands-on studentengagement would be very difficult to organize without the help of our invited lecturers. Having a largeroster of invited lecturers does, however, introduce complications when planning the course. One disadvantage of having so many invited lecturers is that of continuity. Each invited lecturer mayhave their own idea of how they want to run their

First, the socialidentity theory puts light on the active role played by individuals in different groups to uphold theirunique identity [34] For instance, when young women plan their careers, they tend to choose pathsthat they feel align with their identities. Secondly, it recognizes the significance of identities towhich individuals feel strongly committed to [34]. In this study, representational intersectionalityinforms how film representations of Black women can impact their lives whereas the SocialIdentity theory informs about the potential impact the film representations of Black female

We drew from Carlone’s work [13, 14] indesigning protocols and onboarding activities for our team. We realized that these practices ofcultural analysis overlapped with some of the orienting goals of the STS program andcompetencies it was trying to cultivate. For example, Dr. Gupta had observed an STS lessonwhere the instructor invited students to photograph the contents of different refrigerators theyhad access to (at home and at work) and then analyze those scenes. In a research meeting, Dr.Gupta noted that, “these activities prepare them to take up cultural analysis.”At the 2020 Physics Education Research Conference, Dr

The utilization of either method firstrequires students to design a part using a type of computer

(Each set is actually six meetings as the 87 students in the class are dividedinto 22 teams, and the teams assigned to one of six cohorts.) Project planning andcommunication issues (as well as many other “professional” issues) are discussed withthe current projects used as examples or case studies. The teams with projects involvingsimilar technology are grouped in the same cohorts. Teams make informal presentationsand present samples of their work at each cohort meeting. The teams are encouraged towork together as appropriate. There are four rounds of oral

Because the aggregate ULtraffic load of most of these IoT applications is typically higher than that of downlink (DL), we focus ouranalysis only on LTE UL performance.To achieve our objective, we present a simple LTE UL scheduling strategy that fully conforms to LTE’ssignaling and QoS standards and builds upon two sequential scheduling algorithms, that is, intra-HNscheduling and inter-HN scheduling. The numerical results of this work can be used as initial guidelines tohelp industry and city officials, who are planning to rollout Smart connected streetlights network, in selectingthe appropriate wireless connectivity technology.The rest of this paper is organized as follows.

However, some researchers argue that amore accurate term to describe this shift to online platforms during the pandemic is “emergencyremote teaching” [11, 12], due to the inexperience of professors and teaching teams with regardsto online classes. It rapidly became clear that this type of teaching that became the new standardin March 2020 when the majority of the world began lockdowns to help curb the spread of thenovel coronavirus was not sustainable, and proper teaching plans and support for faculty neededto be in place to assist professors and teachers to effectively run their courses and aid students tothe same degree that

These impacts (blue) are linearly (sequentially) related: GTA cognition, GTAteaching practices, and undergraduate student outcomes. GTA cognition pertains to GTAs’ knowledge, skills,attitudes, or beliefs about teaching. GTA teaching practices concerns the GTAs’ approaches to planning, instruction,and assessment. Undergraduate student outcomes centers on the knowledge and skills of GTAs’ students, as well asmore distal student outcomes such as retention and graduation. The framework supposes that effective GTA TPDdirectly promotes changes in GTA cognition, which in turn impacts their instructional behavior (GTA teachingpractices) and subsequent outcomes for

Chen and Przestrzelski apply adifferent lens in introducing social justice into a statics course through looking at gerrymanderingand centroids; while this isn’t a typical civil engineering context, it does reinforce thesociotechnical nature of problems [27]. Finally, Riley re-imagined and implemented liberativepedagogies in a thermodynamics course as described in her seminal 2003 article, with ideas thatformed the basis for and inspired much subsequent work in transforming technical courses intosociotechnical courses [36].Teaching with a sociotechnical context inherently incorporates ethics and engages

In advance of the Spring 2022 semester, we implementedthe curriculum and believe that our current 12 UTFs understand their role as both implementingcurriculum and continuously self-reflecting on their own classroom practices. Each week wemeet as a team in a classroom to run through the week’s lesson plan and to do the active stokestogether to ensure the best possible implementation and debrief. We gave the UTFs notebooksand assigned them 10 minutes of reflective writing on Fridays after their session, plus oneobservation of another section during the first three weeks of the semester. Our

need to learn this so that this won't happen.” -Senior, Mechanical EngineeringAnother form of tacit knowledge for undone ethics is that because ethics involves a personal setof values, it can’t be taught but instead is something each person carries. As each person has theirown set of ethics, engineering ethics is difficult to transfer due to the nuances of each person’sethical values. Thus, ethics is unteachable because you either have it or you don’t: A lot of the ways that ethics get involved in that class aren't really with a traditional way. It's more you realize that it's an ethics sort of thing. There isn't a lesson plan where they're like, ‘Oh, this is an example of ethics’. It's more they explain, like, an
