evidence-based practices into theircourse(s), participate in workshops, conduct research on their own practices and share the results.To maximize the impact of changes in teaching practices, the project targets the introductorycore courses of the engineering curriculum (Table 1), currently followed by approximately 70%of undergraduates at the university, about 650 students per year. Students in basic sciences andcomputer science programs, another 15% of the population, take a subset of the courses, so theprogram will impact ~85% of undergraduates at Stevens, of whom 28% are women and 12%underrepresented minorities.

participated in the RET program at LUCollege of Engineering. This six-week program, open to all high school teachers in the STEMdisciplines in Texas, sought to advance educators’ knowledge of concepts in design andmanufacturing as a means of enriching high school curriculums and meeting foundationalstandards set by 2013’s Texas House Bill 5. These standards require enhanced STEM contents inhigh school curricula as a prerequisite for graduation, detailed in the Texas Essential Knowledgeand Skills standard. In the mornings, teachers attended daily workshops to enhance theirknowledge of topics in advanced design and manufacturing before embarking on applicableresearch projects in the afternoons.

This scheme has several categories in common with thecategories in the coding scheme for the present work, including Remembering and Improvement.Carberry et al. also used three categories to code definitions of reflection that align with Schon’sand Rose’s theories of reflection, namely “reflection on action,” “reflection in action,” or“reflection then action” (Carberry et al., 2018; Csavina et al., 2017). In Carberry et al.’s study,the majority of student responses (79%) identified reflection as a means of looking back on aprevious event (i.e., reflection on action), and 21% of the responses indicated that reflection wasa means to impact the future by directing future choices (reflection then action) (Carberry et al.,2018).

Another theme that emerged is that some campers were morefocused on hands-on activities and wanted to pursue that aspect in the future. Also, we noticedthat they were not quite making the connection between activities and a particular field/s ofengineering.

processes that individuals might enact in order to meet their own emotionalneeds. By understanding how students maladaptively repair their identities in experiencingshame, we might gain better insight into mechanisms that lead to harmful processes whichmarginalize others. Additionally, by understanding students’ latent capacity to process shame inways that are healthy for them (and others), we might strategically promote templates forstudents to recognize and reframe shame as they develop in their identities.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported through funding by the National Science Foundation (NSF EEC1752897).

feedback from the courseinstructors. The activities are arranged roughly in the chronological order in which they werepresented to the classes.Student Trading Cards. The work of Barker, O’Neill, & Kazim1 inspired this activity. Theinstructor has a set of cards with each student’s name on a card and when the instructor posesquestions to the class, s/he uses cards to select the student to answer. Using the cards allowsinstructors to more consistently call on all members of the class. We selected this activitybecause when the instructor looks for a response from any student it can help convey themessage that each individual possesses knowledge and personal experiences that might berelevant to an engineering problem. This activity is meant to
