To initiate the CURES development process, course learning outcomes were assessed toidentify the subset of outcomes which did not easily integrate within a research-based project.Course LOs are provided below: 1.

ABET has similarly dedicated one of its seven student outcomes toteamwork, wording it as: “An ability to function effectively on a team whose members togetherprovide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives” [2]. Research studies have also repeatedly underlined the importance ofdeveloping engineering students’ abilities to work in teams to meet industry needs [3], [4].As a result, there has been an increased

ConclusionsOur preliminary research on perceived “surroundings” in the classroom is part of a larger studyof the impact of systematic, repeated reflection on the development of metacognition, self-regulatory skills, and academic performance in engineering education. We plan to continue ourinvestigation of students’ reflections regarding their “surroundings” as part of our larger researchstudy. Upon conducting a focus group with these students one year later, their notion of peersand instructor as “surroundings” persisted. In fact, these students further named the “vibe” in theclassroom as their “surroundings,” with the vibe defined by the energy of the people and
academic disadvantage compared withstudent who do not need to work. [8]. This is an equity problem. Our goal is to preempt the need for non-curricular work by providing internships tostudents. Internships relevant to an individual’s course of study improve job placement aftergraduation. By practicing concepts learned in the classroom, students find utility with their degree.Their confidence improves. The purpose of the grant is to jump-start an internship pipeline. Thedepartment plans to continue fostering corporate relationships so that the internship pipeline forstudents remains strong. The Program is similar to the the Federal Work Study (FWS) program. FWS is financialaid in exchange for a light workload. A review of 30 other works
. Due to the complex and multidisciplinary nature of their projects, engineeringstudents must learn how to work effectively on a team, as the majority will be expected to workas part of a team after graduation. The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions. This paperintroduces a pedagogical boardgame aimed at simulating arguments within an engineeringexercise, as well as the study planned to track the changes.A diverse team has people with different backgrounds, experience, and ways of thinking.

Thus, we added three keys to characterizethe nature of significant interactions during the group meeting: discussions (D), interactions (I),and team roles (R). These keys accompany timestamps within the template. Discussions worth not-ing with the key D should focus on using research approaches, planning, or applying knowledge.If a decision was made as a result of a discussion, we also wanted to note who drove the decision,which team members were involved, and what role they played. We also wanted to note interac-tions between team members which added to our understanding of their relationships and how theytreat/work with other members. We also

The engineering design course allowsstudents to work on a real-world project and exposes them to a broad range of ideas and skillsthat are important in engineering. Many of these – such as communication, planning, teamwork,prioritization, and dealing with failure – are also very relevant to life beyond engineering.“Connections” is an optional supplement to this required design course that engineering studentstake during their first

The results are quite useful in adjusting ourresearch design and approach as we plan our future research.Future WorkThe authors plan to conduct an IRB approved study in fall 2023 with four sections of the sameengineering design course as used in the pilot study (n=64). The data set will be modified basedon the results of the pilot study.Because our results suggest that students do not consistently engage with empathy throughoutthe design thinking process, in future studies we propose a design thinking model thatencourages more sustained empathy throughout the iterative process (see Fig. 3).Fig. 3: Empathy-based Design Thinking adapted from the Stanford Model for Design Thinking[6].

Moreover, most of the research that examines young women’s engineering identity hasbeen at the post-secondary level, when young women have already entered an engineering major.Therefore, our study is relatively unique in considering the experiences of a group of youngwomen in high school who have professed a commitment to engineering. We also make asignificant contribution by distinguishing between the support offered by girls and boys, with thegoal of understanding which may be more impactful in bolstering the engineering identity andfuture plans of young women in SWENext. Specifically, we investigate the following researchquestions:(1) Do SWENext young women receive similar levels of peer
