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. First,though the nature of Johri’s introductory question aligned with our research question, it was notnecessarily asked
experiencein a face-to-face (FTF) instructional setting. 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
items from the survey. Due to page limitsin this work-in-progress study, we opted to include strategies used by women by engineering role(faculty, student, employer, etc.) in future work. 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). Because weintentionally oversampled at some institutions, minoritized groups (n = 69, 45%) were morerepresented in this sample than is typical in engineering.

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.

Classengagement can happen via discussion (e.g., written chat, verbal communication, etc.), and withimmediate feedback (e.g., via polls, verbal comments, etc.) from instructors or peers. It allowsspontaneity and flexibility of the questions, answers, or content presented; and it promotesimmediacy or community development. The rigidity of the schedule and potential technicaldifficulties are drawbacks of synchronous online learning environments. The time and resourcesrequired to design

Throughout this process,memo-writing was used to identify emergent themes and explicate findings [22], [23]. Thecoding scheme includes the following parent codes: unified voice, group agency, organizational 3character, emotional investment, interpersonal rapport, and role of the RED consortium. For thepurpose of this paper, we focus primarily on unified voice and group agency, taking intoconsideration where and when codes within these two categories intersect with codes within theother categories as well as

Rigor was further established through prolonged engagement with theparticipants which allowed for continuous conversations, member checking, and peer debriefingalong the process of analysis and writing [45]. This participatory research approach amplified theparticipating teachers’ voices and created the space for an iterative process
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
programs remain extremely low. The emphasis on conventionalpedagogical methods in engineering programs, coupled with a deficit-based approach that isfocused on the remediation of weaknesses, does little to foster the unique strengths ofneurodivergent students. In addition to the obstacles posed by traditional education system, thestigma related to a disability label leads many neurodivergent college students to neither discusstheir diagnosis with peers and professors nor obtain academic accommodations that may helpthem to persist in a challenging learning environment.To address these challenges and realize the potential contributions of neurodivergent individualsto engineering fields, a research project funded by the Engineering Education and
compassionand empathy with respect to education (numbers identified in Table 2). A Web of Science search[48] found that the term empathy (or empathetic) was a much more common idea in highereducation and engineering than compassion, which in turn was much more common thankindness. Papers that resulted from the search on kindness and education were generally relatedto PK12 or medical settings (nursing and medical school). The pre-college papers tended tofocus on teaching kids and students to be kind in their behavior toward peers and more broadly.This had a focus on fostering kindness in pupils among an array of prosocial behaviors,sometimes included with social-emotional education. The medical school settings tended tofocus on teaching future

It will alsopromote the following key elements of high-impact practices (HIPs) suggested by theAssociation of American Colleges and Universities: significant investment of time and effort bystudents over an extended period of time; interactions with faculty and peers about substantivematters; frequent timely and constructive feedback; periodic, structured opportunities to reflectand integrate learning; and opportunities to discover the relevance of learning through real-worldapplication.

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.

To helpstudents actively recognize the diversity among their peers. Librarians can get a sense ofclassroom diversity by looking at the results of the survey. However, that alone does not advancethe concept of inclusion. According to McNair, inclusion is the “active, intentional, and ongoing engagement withdiversity—in the curriculum, in the co-curriculum, and in communities (intellectual, social,cultural, geographical) with which individuals might connect—in ways that increase awareness,content knowledge, cognitive sophistication, and empathic understanding of the complex

team projects based on engineering design. The projects aremajorly evaluated as team assignments, however there were minimal individual components(reflection and peer-critique).Data collectionData for this study was collected both from a self-reported survey and student records. Thelearning styles, social skills and personality data came from a survey administered at the end ofthe semester. The preferred learning style was obtained by the VARK scale [15]. It is a 16 itemsquestionnaire with four categories V-A-R-K. The preferred learning style is the category with thehighest score. The reliability estimates for the scores of the VARK subscales are .85, .82, .84,and .77 for the visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic subscales [16]. The

Weekly near-peer-led reflection sessions draw on BC’s Jesuit-Catholic traditions ofstudent formation in which small groups of students grapple with the ethical dimensions ofengineering and consider how course content influences their personal and academic paths.One of MMW’s pedagogical challenges was how to create opportunities for students to take onthe interdisciplinary learning outcomes of the course: namely, to think creatively across history,engineering, and ethics and to apply their learning to real world situations. Our solution was aseries of interactive case studies to model the ways in which practicing and thinking aboutengineering connects with pressing social, environmental, regulatory, and political

Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. 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. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering
development. 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
