, efforts made to diversity campuscannot be chalked up to individual accomplishments or failures, but rather demonstrate howinstitutional cultures determine which policies are adopted and acted upon [13]. We have selected these frameworks to reflect our commitment to better understanding howinstitutions, in conjunction with individual actors, can improve their diversity outcomes.Furthermore, our rationale is to look specifically at the institutional barriers that participantsmention that prevent them from being effective at carrying out diversity work, even if they arecommitted to that effort.Methods, Context and SampleThis paper developed from a larger project aimed at creating a sociotechnical framework toview, analyze and understand the

STEM programs and projects have been developed forprivileged populations that have had access to the best schools and universities in the world, sotheir benefits for vulnerable populations such as migrants and refugees have not been studied.However, STEM Education presents barriers and myths that discourage the interest of children andadolescents in these disciplines [7].

drink redeemable at the department’s cafe.Collected responses were divided into two groups based on whether or not students completed theassignments. For each, plots were constructed to represent the responses to Likert items. Shortresponses were subject to multiple rounds of inductive coding. Axial coding was then utilized togroup related codes into thematic groups where appropriate. A researcher experienced withqualitative analysis but external to the project was given the resulting codebook and a randomsubset of student responses. Interrater reliability was calculated using Krippendorff’s Alpha andfound to be 0.84, well exceeding the accepted minimum threshold of 0.68 [23, 24].ResultsThe results of the study are divided into four categories

Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

engineering [15],engineering programs have focused on the alignment of course LOs, curriculum (e.g., classactivities, tasks, projects), and assessment to achieve the various educational outcomes necessaryfor professional practice.Two weaknesses of the alignment between the LOs and their assessment is that instructors rarelyuse LOs as a basis for student assessment, and students are rarely asked to use them as the basisof self-assessment of their abilities. When explicitly using LOs for assessment, instructors arebetter able to ascertain the extent to which students are achieving the LOs [3], [16], [17]. Whenstudents are asked to reflect on their abilities by referring explicitly to the LOs, their attention isdrawn to what they should be learning and

Afteroffering the heuristic, Author 1 provided a number of example scripts. “Thanks for that question. We see our mission as a problem-solving mission: to address the exclusion of particular groups of people from engineering and STEM more broadly.

Additionally, Loksa and Ko explored how self-regulationimpacts student success on programming projects [5]. In their think-alouds, they found that themajority of participants explicitly verbalized planning. Only two of their participants from a CS1course did not mention planning. They noted that the more participants mentioned planning andcomprehension monitoring, the fewer errors the participants tended to have, indicating that havingstudents focus more on planning stages of

. This was evident in students’ discussions and the time it took forthem to complete the goals associated with each engineering challenge. Another tension that instructors encountered was their desire to facilitate socially constructedknowledge while encouraging independent thinking. This was rooted in the nature of someactivities, which relied upon jointly created designs. One instructor commented that the 3-Dprinting activity only allowed for one design per team to be printed: I would rather have such a project where every student has their own computer so they can utilize more of the design time and what not… It would have been maybe kind of more creative to have each student have their own design rather than have one

Swan, Plummer, and West [4] contend that intentional focus onbuilding conditional knowledge can help improve the level of expertise developed in a universityprogram.
