In 2022, she received her MS in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley within the Energy, Civil Infrastructure, and Climate program. During her master’s program, she gained further experience conducting research and working with underserved communities on a local and national level. Jennifer will be beginning her PhD at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in the fall of 2022, where she plans to continue research focused on engineering for global and sustainable development, with specific interests in the water-energy-food nexus.Carlye Lauff Dr. Carlye Lauff is an Assistant Professor of Product Design at the
Tech, and Director of the Frith First Year Makers program and of the Minecraft Museum of Engineering. His research focuses include creativity-based pedagogy, the interactions of non-humans with the built environment, and the built environment as a tool for teaching at the nexus of biology and engineering. He earned his graduate degrees from Virginia Tech, including an M.S. Civil Infrastructure Engineering, M.S. LFS Entomology, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Design and Planning. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com Student Engagement with a Nontraditional First-Year Engineering Project ThemeAbstractFor many
more to students [e.g., FGP21 De, Female; FGP41 Ad, Male]. In preparation for making faculty aware of students and their needs, the students also suggested educating faculty about identifying students in distress, which aligns with recommendations from Wilson et al. [50]. • Encouraging co-curricular activities and practices: Students suggested that curricular and co-curricular planning include efforts to build social connections (e.g., interactions among peers and faculty). Students also suggested that faculty could take the initiative to engage in non-academic activities (e.g., teambuilding exercises, games, etc.) with students to provide some relief from their academic responsibilities
practices[20]. Despite growing evidence of the importance of introducing elementary students toengineering concepts and activities, several systemic barriers persist in truly integrating andsustaining these concepts into curriculum and practices in schools. Few students express interestor plans for STEM and engineering careers or experiences, as they’re often not exposed to thediscipline or its applicability during their K-12 education. This is likely due in large part to thelimited or nonexistent training or preparation that K-12 teachers receive in integratingengineering principles into their existing curriculum or content areas [21]. Epstein and Miller[29] corroborated these findings, adding evidence that educators understand the importance
staff member Joseph.When she is deciding between a few techniques, she’ll chat with Dr. Paul. It becomes apparentthat at every step of the way, relationships play an important role in this students’ desire andability to weld. From early relationships that nurtured her desire to build, to currentrelationships that keep her moving forward, and future relationships she plans to develop as sheshares her vision with me for a welding club for women, her connections to others is significantto her learning. This is a highly-motivated, engaged student who feels a strong sense ofbelonging in the engineering spaces, and the more she shares, the more it appears relatedness isrelevant to the motivation she feels.Conversations and observations like this one

throughout the process. Experts inqualitative research, and phenomenography specifically, were consulted when planning theexperiment and when designing the interview protocol. During the analysis phase, additionalresearchers were involved as described further below.All audio recordings of the interviews were transcribed and confirmed by another researcher.Then, the first author read each transcript as a whole over multiple iterations. Direct quotesrelevant to the RQ were identified, highlighted, and tentative themes were interpreted andextracted over each round. Next, an independent researcher reviewed a transcript rich in themediversity to confirm existent labels and to suggest additional ones that may be relevant.We employed the pool of meanings
