For research question 3,students reported that oral exams were very stressful prior to taking the first one but did not findsubsequent oral exams stressful.MOTIVATIONIt has been shown that higher perceived teacher support and school belonging is correlated withless school misconduct [1]. The same study also showed that higher peer attachment is alsoassociated with higher rates of school misconduct. The most common reason students cite forchoosing to commit academic misconduct is grade pressure [2]. However, with large andincreasing enrollments in introductory programming courses, standardized assessment will be therequired for the foreseeable future.One strategy that has been

in that they suggest that the literature review should be completed afterdefining the themes. This is in part to remain open to emerging ideas and because Braun andClarke [18] argue that the writing process is part of the analysis. Therefore, comparing ourthemes to the literature while analyzing our findings in the early drafts of this paper forced us tobe more critical and work to better understand and confirm our themes.LimitationsThough this study revealed key insights into senior scholar’s motivation to join the discipline ofEER, due to the secondary nature of the data, there some limitations to our findings.

Inspired by well-established FYE curricula [4], [8]–[10], the learning objectives for the course focused on the engineering design process [11], [12],interdependency of the engineering disciplines through NAE’s Grand Challenges of Engineering[13], cross-cutting theoretical concepts such as mathematical modeling and conservation ofenergy, and durable professional skills like teamwork and technical writing. Delivered in a large-enrollment section format (ca. 350 students per section), the course was co-taught by 2-3 facultyinstructors and leveraged a cadre of undergraduate teaching assistants (25:1 student-to-TA ratio)to provide personalized coaching to student teams as they worked through the two

Thus, we only present strategies womenengineers communicated in their writing when they were asked to expand upon a situational HCthey had to overcome in engineering.Demographics Out of the participants who shared a strategy (n = 154), the majority were 18-29-years-old (n = 121, 79%) (Table 1: Demographic characteristics of participants).

More maturity, a greater independence of thought and action, and awell-developed sense of responsibility have all been noted in professional practice studentsrelative to their non-participating peers [32].

In this study, we reflecton our experiences as supervising faculty, and the results of pre- and post-experience surveys completedby four groups of undergraduate researchers. In contrast to previous years’ REUs, team interactions werenot possible in the virtual environment, and activities were mainly training programs. Students were ableto work with previously collected real data and write code. The participants’ final presentations weretechnically better than those in the previous two years.

TechnologyStudies (STS). Throughout the fall 2019 semester, I began to question the ways in which I hadbeen recruited and channeled, as a woman with an interest in science and math, into studyingengineering. Upon taking an introductory STS course, I was introduced to reflecting criticallyabout engineering as a field of study. This led me to enroll in a graduate seminar, EngineeringStudies, which provided me with a much deeper introduction to STS-inflected studies ofengineering, including engineering education. During this time, my professor, along with apostdoctoral fellow, were co-PIs for a study of student experiences in engineering education andhad already convened a group of undergraduate students who were in the process of interviewingtheir peers

student engagement and academic success measures (such as retention) hasbeen well-established in the literature (e.g.,[3]), the program was designed to create a smalllearning community experience for students who would be less likely to demonstrate highengagement with the university, the curriculum, their instructors, and their peers. There are manyreasons why low-income students might show low-engagement levels. One reason is that aschool and/or family obligation requires them to work a significant number of hours each week.It is difficult to attend football games or join a sorority when you are working 20-40 hours aweek off-campus. Engagement is a luxury that many low-income students simply cannot afford.The Endeavour Program was designed to

For example, student 11’s final six measurements were clicking back andforth between the two breadboard rows on either side of the loose feedback wire. This makes sense,since from the picture presented, the circuit is wired correctly, and the voltage difference betweenthese points is surprising. Many feedback measurements strongly indicate that the student noticedsomething was wrong in this region, but it is not sufficient to indicate that they understood the rootcause of the issue: 5 students measured the feedback loop at least 4 times without writing thecorrect cause in the follow-up questions.

During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality.

Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best
