Engineering1 Historically, the undertaking of service projects – engaging marginalized individuals or communities in improving some facet of their lives – has been viewed by many as simply doing ‘nice things for poor people’. […] Showing ‘solidarity with the poor’ and making a human connection are necessary to sustain hope and thus affect change, and are powerful and essential elements in ‘making the world a better place’ 2 [p.6]. -T.

The 2012 NSF Science & Engineering Indicators do indicate that intentions tomajor in engineering are smaller for women first-year students than males across racial groups.Recent analysis of data from the Project to Assess Climate in Engineering (PACE) Project alsosuggests that significant differences exist in the experiences of Black, Hispanic, Native American,Asian-American and White women in engineering.9Within engineering overall, White students earned 66.2% of undergraduate degrees inengineering in 2001 and 69.8% in 2010.10 The proportion of undergraduate degrees awarded toAfrican American and Asian American students declined between 2001 and 2010 (Figure 2)(although

human factors inthe design or evaluation of technologies or systems.One of the objectives of human factors engineering is to learn about users' goals to better designand evaluate systems and technologies by applying appropriate methods. This user-centereddesign approach is the main methodology that allows engineers to learn about users’ goals andneeds, with the aim of designing user-centered systems.The user-centered design process requires understanding users to the point of forming empathywith them and directing the design and evaluation process based on the users’ needs.Conventionally, in human factors courses, students are required to complete a course project inwhich they would be required to develop a problem statement, understand the

engineers see how they canstay true to their beliefs and lay the groundwork for improved outcomes.An example case illustrates how an early-career engineer stood up for their values in the face ofprofessional pressures. While an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia, that studentstudied the Dominion Energy Atlantic Coast Pipeline project and met residents of in the BlueRidge Mountains of Virginia who were to be directly impacted by the project. These personalencounters made the student question the ethics of the project’s development. She rememberedthat learning experience during her first job as an engineer when she was assigned to work on aconsulting project related to that same pipeline. Aligned with GVV pillars, she drew upon
). The coastal engineering class presents an excellent opportunity to close that gap. Moststudents in the course are senior undergrads or graduate students, nearing their entry (or re-entry)into their professional careers, so the authors decided to hone in on the professional aspect ofcollaboration, as a way to move from simple team projects to what Ellis, Han, and Pardo wouldrefer to as “productive collaboration” (2018, p. 130). When developing the course interventionsdiscussed in this paper, the authors focused less on which skills needed to be taught, and more onshifting the context from undergraduate education to a setting more akin to professionalenvironments. The aforementioned gap between graduate preparation and employee readiness

This is being investigated through, for example, analyzingstudent interviews and focus groups [10-13], in class whole-group discussion [7, 14], andstudents’ written work [15]. Here, we build on this research base by looking at small group in-class discussions.This study is part of an NSF-funded research project to implement and study integratingsociotechnical components throughout a first-year computing for engineers course.

The demographics of ourundergraduate student body in the College of Engineering render the logistics of conventional,cross-cultural communication skill building initiatives highly challenging if not impossible:internationalization initiatives (e.g., study abroad or international education) and project-basedteamwork in content-heavy courses frequently exceed learners’ time and monetary budgets orlack integration in the engineering curriculum and a focus on communication skills development.Like many of our peer institutions, we serve a diverse and multi-tasking community ofundergraduate engineering students: approximately 85% commute
proposed approach.IntroductionThe work presented in this paper is motivated by the idea that the best way to learn is throughsolving problems yet recognizes that engineering students are generally provided insufficientopportunities to solve the types of problems that they will encounter in practice [1], [2]. Despitea wide variety of pedagogical innovations, engineering curricula still largely rely on well-structured problems as the primary mode of learning [2]. Attempts to incorporate more open-ended, ill-structured experiences through problem- and project-based learning (and other activelearning measures) have increased but are often met with resistance by students and arechallenging for faculty to implement [3], [4]. We contend that overcoming

Lastly, we comparedthe experience of scoring the assessments from the perspective of the instructor or researcherusing the assessment. Based on our findings, we make recommendations about when aninstructor might choose to use one assessment or the other. Our results can inform futureresearch and assessment projects that aim to assess students’ systems thinking skills bycomparing both student outcomes and instructor experience for these scenario-basedassessments.

Videos have been a keyfeature in other FLCs as a supplement for participants [20], as a tool for self-evaluation ofteaching [21], for communicating in online communities [22], and as a component of courseredesign efforts which often primarily help individual faculty members. This FLC was unique inthat the creation of shared departmental video libraries was the central goal.Fundamentally, the quality of participant engagement is essential to the success of a FLC [23],and the recruitment process was designed to identify participants who would be highly engagedthroughout the project.

However,in large classes, it took a long time to review the recordings for each student who took the exam.The use of Proctorio discouraged some students from cheating, but students quickly learned howto cheat on exams with Proctorio. Despite the faculty efforts, cheating in online course continue sto be a significant problem, as the authors can find their exam problems posted on Chegg that onlycould have happened while students were taking the exam. Unfortunately, only a few instructorsin the university chose to employ Proctorio to monitor their on-line exams. Others, replaced examswith projects, or gave exams, allowing somewhere between 24
