practices that support learning and educational attainment for all students” (p.277). This principle guides computing education policies, standards, curriculum, and teachingmethods, driving initiatives like ”Computer Science for All” [3].Equity-enabling education research is research that supports the needs for achieving equity ineducation, including providing ...the evidence needed for decision-makers and educators to advocate, support, and deliver computing education in K-12 classrooms that lead to equitable access, participation, and experiences (and therefore outcomes) among all students. Equity-enabling education research, by its very nature and necessity, must meet quality standards to provide meaningful evidence for
. Before embarking on my doctoral journey, I worked as a science teacher and research assistant for several years. I made the decision to leave my teaching position to pursue a doctoral education, and I am currently serving as a research and teaching assistant for a STEM education course in my department. My research interests primarily lie in the fields of STEM education, quantitative methods, psychometrics, and large-scale data analysis. At present, I am actively engaged in a project focused on mentoring relationships between Ph.D. students and their advisors.Dr. Hsien-Yuan Hsu, University of Massachusetts, Lowell Dr. Hsien-Yuan Hsu is an Assistant Professor in Research and Evaluation in the College of Education at

And how do we base (projects) on our very local cultures and ways of knowing?I n this passage, the student underscores how discussions on decolonization within humanitarian engineering class often remain confined to improving power imbalances and relationships between community members and HE practitioners. However, these initiatives tend to be top-down or centralized changes across the sector, which fall short of addressing the goals of decolonization as articulated in Indigenous studies. Indigenous studies emphasize dismantling central control as an integral piece of decolonization, making this
witharduous challenges.[2] Furthermore, the inclusion of capstone projects has shown improvement inteamwork dynamics, the ability to develop leadership skills within an independently-leadproject.[3] Thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics are critical courses that are coveredin engineering degree programs. The theory and knowledge gained by students in each of thesecourses culminates in the thermo-fluid design capstone. This curriculum expects students to bringtheir combined aforementioned knowledge and technical skills to develop and produce a workingsystem as part of a team collaboration that meets the needs of their respective customers. Theimportance of such courses and projects is to introduce students to the environment that they
way of determining aconcept’s importance.Keywords: cognitive domain, mental models, undergraduate engineeringIntroductionLearning is an integral part of our lives. Each one of us learns the same things differently based onour preferred way of learning. We can learn by building mental models; through feelings,emotions, attitudes; and by physical movements. Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1]. Eachdomain of learning focuses on one of three ways the brain can be engaged in learning. Thecognitive domain is focused on mental processes or thinking, the affective domain focuses onfeelings, attitudes, and behaviors, and the psychomotor domain

Clearly the NSF holds high aspirationsfor community college systems in the US. Addressing the current RED project teams at theirannual RED Consortium Meeting in September 2023, Dr. Jose Zayas-Castro, division director ofthe Engineering and Education Centers (EEC) of NSF, emphasized the importance of two-yearcolleges in providing students with access

professional skills is an integral part of an effective undergraduateABET- accredited engineering program. Engineering programs throughout the country havedeveloped a variety of methods to hone these professional skills and a capstone project experienceis typical. The structure of these courses has evolved to incorporate changes in pedagogy,technology, needs of industry and changes in ABET accreditation requirements. There arenumerous examples in Engineering Education literature of successes in capstone courses includingtips and cases studies of programs running effective capstone projects. For example, Yost and Lane[1] reported the evolution of the civil engineering design capstone experience at a researchuniversity, discussed measures to assess

. Programming is an abstract thinking process that involves critical thinking andcomputational design. Without effective programming references, it is challenging for students tolearn programming, as well as for instructors to teach programming.To overcome these challenges, this paper proposed developing on-line personalized adaptive learning(PAL) tools through integrating state-of-the-art pedagogies with deep learning technologies toenhance programming skills of engineering students, especially at HBCUs. PAL is an emergingpedagogical approach enabled by smart learning environments. AI techniques such as machinelearning have been successfully applied to improve the recommendation satisfaction by identifyingPAL patterns in online education and
