conferenceproceedings for the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), the European Journalof Engineering Education, and Studies in Engineering Educationi. In this study, we bring attention to the literature that has quantitively assessed a student’srecognition through two primary questions. These studies have made significant contributions tothe field but have focused mainly on the aspect of being seen (recognized) as an engineer and havemeasured this concept through a student’s self-reflection and through their recognition of howmuch the people in their lives see them as an engineer: • “Parents/Relatives/friends see you as a physics person” and “Science teacher see[s] you as a physics person.” (Hazari et al., 2010
? 4.6 5 0.5How often does your facilitator interactwith your group(s)? 4.5 5 0.7ConclusionsThis paper emphasizes the value of mid-semester peer and staff observations and student mid-termevaluations (which align with the program objectives and the observation rubric). When reflection andthe articulation of future actions follow feedback from peers and enrolled students, undergraduateeducators gain an enhanced understanding of their strengths and challenges and greater ownership andmotivation to improve their educational practices. In summary, we show that feedback, reflection, andgoal setting can guide undergraduate leaders to inclusive, student-centered practices

teachers developed an engineering learning sequence thatconnected to a design opportunity within their local context (see Hammack et al., 2022 foradditional curriculum detail). After developing the lessons, participating teachers enacted thelessons with their elementary students. Participants included 43 4th and 5th grade students dividedinto two groups, those who attended school on a Native American reservation (n=23) and thosewho attended a small town school not located on a reservation (n=20). To measure the impacts ofthe program, students completed the Students Attitudes towards STEM survey ([S-STEM],Friday Institute, 2012) and the Engineering Identity Develop Scale ([EIDS], Capobianco et al.,2017) before and after engaging in the community

At theend of the term, there was a team competition based on the deliverables of the project. In the competition,students presented their cartoon(s) and VSMs that helps to illustrate some of the challenges SC designersand users face. Student teams will also suggest up to three possible captions in to accompany eachcartoon. Sample student submitted VSM charts and Cartoons can be find in Appendix B.Project DescriptionA process map documents how work either is, or

Additionally, without an explicitinstitutional support plan for sustainability, the program may not continue if the faculty and staffare assigned other duties in future semesters. However, with clearly defined interaction pointsand assessment, the mentorship model described would likely need minimal administrativesupport for long-term sustainability.4.

correctly [2]. Given these problems with teamwork projects in engineering classes within allengineering disciplines, a goal of this research study is to involve students themselves in oneparticular class, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, in researching and improving theteamwork process. To encourage active student participation, the research team choseparticipatory action research (PAR) as the primary research framework, due to its emphasis onlistening and learning from the people (i.e. engineering students) who are impacted by aparticular problem or issue (i.e. teamwork projects) and using this information to create actionsteps towards positive change [3]. Since the 1960’s, PAR has been used extensively ineducational settings [4] and
