with ways of viewing their practice,and the products of that practice. Though it does not support one normative moral theory asappropriate, or a specific ontological frame as accurate, the philosophy of engineeringencourages discussion in each of these areas so that practitioners develop ideas and plans thatmeet the needs of diverse stakeholders.

rationale underlying elements within their design. “It's mostly just the general recommendations, like I'm not including, like, a function name or a list of all the variables. Because I'm just trusting that the variable names kind of explain themselves.”Some of the designers’ comments also indicated that they held a constrained view of their roleand influence on the project. They made limited efforts to forecast what design decisions wouldneed to be made by future designers and did not make their own design decisions with thosefuture decisions in mind. “Like from my end? …I don't know a lot about what they plan for the future, so I just made things with what information I had. So there
as a result. Separately, any excerpts that were reflective of the strength ofthe participants’ anticipatory and initial—prior to and following their first year of study,respectively—SoB were captured, often In Vivo to maintain the students’ individual voices [31].In a second round of coding, the socialization experiences were then sorted into two categoriescapturing the participants’ exposure to their university and their planned discipline. Finally, theparticipants’ anticipatory and initial belonging was mapped against their pre-college experiencesto find themes across the eight students.PositionalityThe author recognizes his own positionality with respect to the work done in this study.

(Hispanic, black, native, and others) were combined toform an underrepresented minorities (URM) category. Most students in the spring semester wereenrolled in the mechanical engineering (ME) major, whereas in the fall semester, a majority werepursuing degrees in electrical or computer engineering. This disciplinary distribution can beattributed to the way these courses are structured in the students' degree study plan. Industrialengineering (IE) was the next most popular major among the students who took this course,while the remaining majors were categorized as “other.” Table 1: Descriptive Statistics by Semester Spring 2021 Fall 2021 Male Female

describes the relationship between these factors, where perceived ease ofuse and perceived usefulness are predictors of behavioral intention to use, and behavioralintention to use predicts actual use [17]. In the TAM model, perceived usefulness is defined as the degree to which an individualbelieves that using a system would enhance their performance, perceived ease of use is definedas the degree to which a person believes that using a system would be free of physical or mentaleffort, behavioral intention to use is defined as the cognitive processes, plans, and motivations anindividual has to perform a behavior, and actual use is defined as the specific use of atechnology, including how frequency of use, time spent using it, and more [17

Saturdayprogramming and a summer camp experience.There are two curricular developers for the course: (1) a retired engineer, and (2) a former K-12STEM teacher, both of whom now work to create STEM outreach opportunities for children. Withinput from industry partner representatives and the two program teachers, the curriculum developerscreated a dynamic curricular guidebook that includes engineering content, a variety of activities, andcomprehensive lesson plans that are used by the teachers. All information can be customized to meetspecific school and student needs, within the pace of a traditional nine-week class time frame (shownin Figure 1 below). Specialty materials needed to conduct lessons (e.g., Arduino boards, mousetraps,materials for 3D printing

The ILMS application introducedstudents to the fundamentals of engineering drawing education, e.g., isometric and multi-viewdrawings, sectioning layouts, dimensioning tools, and orthographics. It comprised three mainsubsystems: preliminary level assessment test, interactive tutorials, and content managementconfiguration, allowing instructors to track the students’ progress. Researchers conducted a two-year study on engineering graphics students at the University of Burgos in Spain to test theeffectiveness of ILMS compared to traditional learning methods [19]. They designed 55 surveymodules using the questionnaire planning criteria in [20], [21

Further, we plan on introducing dyeand tracer particles to the flow to visualize regions of fluid stasis, and to approximate theresidence time of fluid in the venous valve region to further determine the effect of valvemorphology on flow conditions conducive to VTE.Reflections on student

social system; and (2) “the constructed type,” which represents the “second order construct” and is created by researchers [44]. • The constructed type is “a construct made up of abstracted elements and formed into a unified conceptual pattern wherein there may be an intensification of one or more aspects of concrete experience” ([43], p. 12). It is “a purposive, planned selection, abstraction, combination, and (sometimes) accentuation of a set of criteria with empirical references that serves as a basis for comparison of empirical cases” ([43], p. 16). The words “selection,” “intensification,” and “accentuation” suggest that the type is constructed on the basis of selected features; and
often associated with qualitative data, we plan to follow an explanatory sequential casestudy research design where we pursue a rich description of two decades of data to betterunderstand the vertical transfer pathway into engineering degree programs [79]. By considering arich data source of background characteristics, enrollment patterns, and student outcomes over twodecades, this study also aims to contribute to the broader discourse on engineering education byinvestigating trends in vertical transfer student success at research-intensive institutions.3.1 Study Context and Data Source. This study used two decades of data from SU, a large publicresearch-intensive university in Florida. SU was chosen as the case study site due to its strong
AI/ML [63], CS support programs may be a promisingopportunity to further engage and motivate socially-oriented students in the field. As suggestedby previous work for AI/ML [64], retaining socially-oriented students may also promote genderdiversity since women show higher levels of ‘social benefit interest’ than their peers who do notidentify as women [63].While our study demonstrated that inspiration from instructors’ displays of support andenthusiasm for CS inspired students’ plan for social impact in CS, we also acknowledge that CSsupport programs have the potential to better address socially-oriented interests. This may beachieved by introducing students to speakers in CS backgrounds with obvious social impact,such as healthcare [64
, as discussed previously. The authors considered attempting acomparison of student learning outcomes between these two cohorts. However, deconvolutingthe effects of the project alone versus other confounding variables (remote instruction versus in-person learning for core courses, transfer versus 4-year students, and instructor differences)would not have been possible. Given the overwhelmingly positive student response to theprojects, the authors have no plans to remove the project from the curriculum in the future toperform such a comparison, as doing so may negatively impact the cohort not assigned the groupproject. A more extensive survey of the cohort of students completing the project in all 6courses, however, is a subject of ongoing
