As a result, the new analysispresented in this paper aims to shed light on the best times to schedule different engineeringtechnology courses.Methodology:This study uses statistical analysis to examine the relationship between the time of courseoffering and student performance. The study was completed at a top-tier research universityusing data from a 100 level undergraduate engineering mechanical design course. The coursewas chosen because it was taught by the same instructor with the same material for 6 consecutivesemesters with alternating start times; it was offered at 8:00AM in the Fall semester and12:30PM in the Spring semester.

Best practices for teaching design, such as limiting team size, consideringstudent diversity, scoping project tasks, and effective documentation is difficult to implementwhen projects are open-ended, largely student-directed, open to students at all levels,multi-disciplinary, competition-oriented, and so on. In previous work, we examined studentteaming experiences from a diversity perspective through an end-of-course survey and found thatstudents from different demographic backgrounds reported

This new idea will beintroduced to the summer 2022 class and re-tested in summer 2023, and measured results presentedin future follow up analysis.Ideally the summer 2022 class would be unmodified and surveys taken as a baseline with the newexercises integrated in 2023 for a clear A/B comparison.

Initial discussion identifies needs for both program level data (e.g., types of partnerships, types of programming, staffing & resourcing) as well as student level data (e.g., activities with the program, academic and career outcomes, latent variable measures such as economic hardship or financial need) that allows for individual and contextual nuance while also being able to be aggregated to understand cross-cutting influences and best-practices. ● Systematic literature review.

established clubs that are focused onseveral activities during the academic year. These activities are designed to illustrate the STEM fields andthe interdependence of multiple professions, while offering opportunities for students to participate inindividual and team events. Specifically, academic year activities for NCJETS high school clubs involve: 1. Applied mechanical engineering principles through the design, analysis, simulation, construction, fabrication and testing of trebuchets, culminating in a competition on the university campus. 2. A career exploration contest which promotes student research of career / educational opportunities in STEM fields by addressing a specified open-ended problem with a specified

Rather, they are motivated to a particular courseof action by the context of their field. There may be unanswered questions from previousresearch, or technological problems defined by a larger agenda. Hence the first practicein the new Framework for Science Education is “Asking questions (for science) ordefining problems (for engineering)”. But doing this requires familiarity with the currentcontext. So there is a Getting-on-Board Problem. In actual research, this is oftenaccomplished through the apprenticeship structure of graduate studies: new researcherspiggy-back on the work of practicing researchers. But this approach is

and what attributes high-quality narrative smoothingdemonstrate [5], [7], [17]. However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative
