integrating writing into engineering project courses and structuring thecollaboration in a way that acknowledges writing. In addition, these strategies may improve allstudents’ experiences in project courses because it provides structure to collaboration, supportsdeveloping skills in working and writing in teams, and acknowledges the writing produced andeach writer’s specific roles.Context: Engineering-English PartnershipThe senior capstone experience in MSE at Boise State University is a year-long course sequenceduring which student teams work on projects sponsored by paying clients outside the university.Sponsors are typically companies but may also include national laboratories, nonprofitorganizations, and municipalities such as water districts

As an undergraduate and graduate student, she has been involved with the Society of Women Engineers, and also taught a materials science laboratory course as a graduate teaching assis- tant. She has volunteered at numerous STEM outreach activities on and off of the Boise State campus throughout her time as a student and is passionate about increasing diversity in STEM and helping girls and women to recognize that STEM is a path that is open to them if they want to take it.Ms. Katherine Christine Tetrick, Washington State University Katherine directs the Washington STate Academic RedShirt (STARS) program at Washington State Uni- versity.

for youth in the form of internships at ayouth-staffed 3D print shop. The print shop opened in early 2017 as a “living laboratory” toprovide technical jobs to youth who completed Maker Foundations and are DHF Members. Theprint shop employs youth who are eligible to work through a state government minor workpermit and have completed the 14-week Maker Foundations program. Since opening, the printshop has employed 8 youth (4 female, 5 underrepresented minorities in STEM) between the agesof 15-18. The print shop offers 3D printing, 3D scanning, and 3D modeling services to clients.Six months after opening, the print shop youth employees have over 60 jobs and produced over4,000 objects. Example projects that youth completed include developing
’ weekly homework scores, twomidterms, and a final examination. The course objectives are to explore fundamental electrical quantities,components, and concepts, and to develop ad hoc and systematic tools for circuit analysis. The learningtopics covered are: circuit variables; sources, resistors, and Ohm’s law; ad hoc, nodal, and loop analysis;scaling and superposition; the Thévenin-Norton and maximum power theorems; operational amplifiers;capacitors, inductors, and mutual inductance; first-order transient analysis; phasor analysis; and sinusoidalpower analysis. The course has no laboratory component but includes several direct-current, transientand alternating-current circuit simulation (Multisim) assignments. The teaching assistants’ main role
microsystem can be described as settings or environments with which an individual interactson a regular basis. An example of typical microsystems would include schools, classrooms,offices, laboratories, and even, makerspaces. According to Bailey et al., microsystems can oftenhave different effects on the individual, where each environment brings about a differentinfluence, just as the individual interacts with each environment in a unique way [26]. 5Critical Race Theory - Counter-storytellingCritical Race Theory (CRT) is utilized as a framework in studies where racial inequalities in asociety are addressed and analyzed, in this case, the White, male

Access denied: Barriers for transfer students to research experiences and cohort modelprograms (Cynthia Hampton and Stephen Secules). Many co-curricular support efforts rely onstudents gaining research experiences in a structured and mentored setting. For most engineeringresearch laboratories, there are one or more required prerequisite courses that a student mustcomplete before they can be used. In many cases, these courses are taken by students during theirfreshman or sophomore year. Thus, transfer students are unable to access these labs withouthaving to take these courses out of sequence.

best-practices available for students with physical or visible disabilities and those with non-visible disabilities for both lecture-based classrooms and active learning environments. Classroom and laboratory spaces are made physically accessible for a wide range of bodies. Accessibility options like extra time and providing multi-modal instructions via video or notes are achievable and have been widely implemented. Assessment like homeworks, tests, individual assignments can be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual student. Approaches like delivering content through multiple modes seeks to engage a (relatively) neurodiverse student body. ● Active learning
This is challenging for the students,especially in a group environment such as senior capstone design. Likewise, studies have shownthat the international students have a difficult time succeeding in courses requiring the students togive formal presentations, which is true in senior capstone design.9,36,54 During the qualitative datacollection, international students often cited the nontraditional mode of course presentationsinstead of traditional course learning modes (sitting in class or laboratory). Further, internationalstudents expressed concern that their limited English-speaking ability may adversely affect theirteam.It was also found that the student’s intrinsic value decreased overall from the beginning of the fallsemester of senior

, why he wanted to be a BME major, and how he now believed he had amisconception of BME: They have a biochemistry degree at the school I'm at. I'm in biomedical engineering and I guess when I got into it I thought it was more like that laboratory track where you work under somebody helping them do their research or whatever. But I think now that I've seen about half of it, I can tell its hardcore engineering which I was not expecting it to be.

failure to switch from a PhD to a master's. That was the second time I went to counseling. I was just kind of working through those feelings of failure, even though it was an active decision.All the participants expressed that they found the utilization of counseling to be helpful. Becky,for example, described how going to counseling in response to the anxiety attacks she hadexperienced in her research laboratory, gave her useful tools. She shared, I did feel as though I was able to get good insights. He showed me how to like if I had another anxiety attack, breathing mechanisms that I could do to kind of stimulate my parasympathetic system and slow my heart rate and stuff like that, calm my system down.Erin

(SSI) have received increased attention from many science andengineering educators, as it provides a meaningful learning opportunity to improve students'argumentation skills [4] - [7]. In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6

set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate between inductive and deductiveprocesses, thus broadening their design vision and understanding the experimental approach toengineering design. There is potentially a real need to
selecting a group member (or members) to be tested and thus proxy for the group. • Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing to pass it on, and/or share it with their group members. • Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. • Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need
