the instructor and the students. Kahoot is an onlinetool to create and host interactive quizzes [16]. Students enter a username (their real name or anickname) and answer questions from their mobile device or laptop. Each question has a timelimit, and when the time is up, the correct answer is displayed, and the instructor reviews thequestion with the class. Pear Deck is a slide-based interactive learning tool that allows instructorsto create and integrate interactive activities on each slide during a lecture [17]. For example,students could be asked to draw a specific crystal structure on a certain slide. The instructor canthen anonymously project all the drawings to discuss the correct answer. Across both GSRSs, theinstructor facilitated a
concept mapping, and the development of mini projects could beincorporated into the assessment of the learning outcomes. This work is specifically relevant, asone of the major objectives of the educational process is for students to acquire theoretical andconceptual knowledge [32]. However, the educational imperative for engineering education goesbeyond this objective. Developing technical expertise also requires developing practical skillsthrough hands-on experiences. Instructional labs in engineering help translate conceptualknowledge to practical experiences that reflect real-world scenarios, which engineeringgraduates will encounter during their engineering careers. However, gaps often exist betweenthe skill sets that engineering employers

. The question Catrambone likes to ask–and the thread that runs through the projects he does alone and in collaboration with others–is: What does someone need to know in order to solve novel problems or carry out tasks within a particular domain? Catrambone’s research interests include problem solving, educational technology, and human-computer interaction. He is particularly interested in how people learn from examples in order to solve problems in domains such as algebra, probability, and physics. He explores how to create instructional materials that help learners understand how to approach problems in a meaningful way rather than simply memorizing a set of steps that cannot easily be transferred to novel problems
undergraduates feel morecomfortable in spaces where they are in the minority. Examples of these practices includeintentionally building mixed gender small groups for project-based learning, the utilization ofhumanizing language (e.g., the use of the term women versus girls), emphasizing thecontributions of women scientists and engineers, and incorporating relevant social issues intocourse discussions and lectures. Beyond pedagogical choices, providing flexibility is a small wayto model to undergraduate women that their experiences are distinct. For my participants, thislooked like simply checking in with women students to ensure they are comfortable in certainspaces. Some allies discussed checking in with women assigned to small groups with all

Thus, we posit that asking students to confront thedifferences in their espoused beliefs and their behaviors can help them bring awareness toweaknesses in their approach to making process safety judgements.Conceptual FrameworkAs a part of this project, we developed a conceptual framework around criteria that engineersconsider through their process safety judgements: safety, leadership, relationships, production,spending, and time (Table 1). These criteria emerged from process safety literature and ChemicalSafety Board (CSB) case studies [5]–[8] as well as non-engineering industries that rely onpractitioner judgement [2], [3], [10], [32]. Moreover, this conceptual framework has beenleveraged in other recent works regarding

POCare 14% more likely to identify HC as active compared to their white counterparts (40 vs to 26respectively). The identity of race seems to be more salient than that of gender. While the authorscould postulate that these anomalies could be explained through the theory of critical whitenessstudies, that line of inquiry is outside the scope of this project. Looking forward, it would seem that the more marginalized identities one holds, the morelikely that person would deem HC to be active, and the higher likelihood that person would wantothers that look like them in engineering, be it by gender, race, or their intersection
opportunities and potential career paths. One way thatour team can fulfill this duty is by exposing high school students to the world of human-centeredengineering design (HCED) and supporting them in exploring related interests. We designed aweek-long summer camp that uses principles of human-centered design, engineering design, andteamwork to help students explore and experience an authentic human-centered engineeringdesign project. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the camp on students’awareness of what engineers do in engineering careers and their interest in pursuing anengineering career as well as their awareness of the role of HCD in engineering.BackgroundSTEM, which represents topics within, connections among, and products

But I came in here and knew what I was doing. But the thing is, other people didn't. They had little experience with engineering. That's fine. It was just more so they felt that I was a bit controlling, which I try not to come across that way, but it was more so I just knew what I was doing because I had done it twice before.

is overlooked. Engineers have ethical responsibilities to their employers, their employees, theenvironment, and the entire public. Often, the stakes of engineering projects are extremely highbecause people’s lives depend on their success. The activities of engineers can have great impactson the physical world around them and the beings living in it. Engineers do not exist in a bubble—they “exist and operate as a node in a complex network of mutual relationships with many othernodes” [2]. These complex relationships make it necessary to consider the impacts of decisionsand actions on a range of parties.

Significant time was shifted from the redesign process to address thelogistical challenges of executing the course. Such considerations were necessary but should have been ledby the redesign of the priorities rather than the reverse.

emphasizes the need to 20 provide pilot and hands-on demonstrations to engage and increase the adoption of RWH practices. Misconceptions or lack of knowledge are the leading cause of apprehension in active participation in RWH. 4. Participants indicated they would be willing to pay $50 for an RWH project in their homes. This can present an opportunity to incentivize participation in RWH initiatives. 5. The differing opinions on climate change, such as the belief that humans do not affect climate change, decrease the desire to participate in RWH practices. If
