broad, science-based context. For example, the textbook beginswith the Big Bang, then spends three full chapters on the formation and evolution of theuniverse, the formation of our solar system and planet Earth, and the origin and evolution ofearly forms of life. The textbook will be extensively supplemented with additional material andguest lectures from various engineering faculty. In addition to engineering materials, broadtopics like power, water, and navigation will be considered. Student assessment will includedebates, group research projects, and oral presentations, as well as exams.Designed with engineering students in mind, the classes seek to establish patterns of thinkingaround complex issues and to provide meaningful case studies

Introduction to systems engineeringcourses lack integration of current thinking on community engagement ethics and that absencecan be seen across the systems engineering curriculum, as well. We ask: How do we createlearning opportunities/engineering interventions that are technically sound, and also prioritizecommunity voice, cultural appropriateness, and contextual efficacy? In this paper, we reviewthree methods of stakeholder analysis taught in system engineering courses and identify whereand how one can integrate community voices through a

A semi-structured interview protocol based in interpretive phenomenological analysiswas used to elucidate the students’ experiences that fostered belongingness. Separate themesfrom each student were created from coding and then overarching themes unified a sharedexperience.The following overarching themes were prevalent among the participants: similarity toclassmates, recognition as an engineer by peers, limited questioning of belongingness, andbelongingness is a state of mind. The results depict that elements of engineering identity play apart in making students feel they belong (e.g., recognition), but in some cases, belongingness isdistinct from

They decided upon relevant field trips andguest speakers in order to provide context to inform SABES.The community-based aspect of SABES was crucial for establishing in the minds of students,teachers, parents, and community members that STEM skills are relevant for their communitynow and in the future. Instead of being an academic exercise, each student engineering designproject was a practical attempt to envision the potential benefits to the community.For example, one school maintained a school garden. The fourth grade students decided to workon a composting project that would repurpose waste from the cafeteria.

allowed for themes to emerge from the data in a ‘bottom-up’ inductive approach. When approaching the interviews inductively, themes were drawn fromthe data without a theoretical reference in mind, similar to grounded theory research methods.8Therefore, we sought to find descriptions related to our participants’ perceptions of women inengineering without using existing general theories for women in engineering. Thesedescriptions were then formed into general themes that captured the essence of our participants’perceptions of being a woman in engineering.

The display of adaptive expertise has been said to "ultimatelylead to students' depth of knowledge and habits of mind that lead to success in their career andenable them to be innovators in the field" [2]. For this reason, it is important for educators andscholars to explore how we can better prepare our students to showcase adaptive expertise. It isequally important to assess the effectiveness of our attempts at facilitating this development.Think-a-louds, [3] interviews [1], and self-report surveys [4] [1] [5][6] [7] have all been used tomeasure adaptive expertise

However, she had a dream to go to medical school one day, and engineering seemed like a perfect way to combine these two passions. As someone who was pre-med, Abby thought chemical engineering would provide insight into the solutions that doctors end up prescribing to their patients, and that it would give her opportunities outside medicine if she ever changed her mind. Abby also had a cousin who got her bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering and then went off to become a doctor. Abby always thought that it was

Because artistic and engineering skills are often seen asdistinct, challenging students who do not identify as artistic or creative to begin flexing theircreative muscles can be rather difficult. For classes that require creative thought, it becomesimperative for students to first, realize that creative practices and artistic endeavors are possibleand even necessary to be successful in engineering and are not just for aesthetic appeal. Second,students may not view creativity as a trait that can be enhanced so it can be necessary to redefinecreativity in students’ minds such that it is regarded as malleable something that can be learned.The concept may be difficult for students to grasp fully and can result in a more

They askquestions in class, have discussions with peers and faculty, study in their preferred way, and doall of these with the goal of a degree in mind. These types of engagement, along with manyothers, are key components of students’ education.Previous research on first-generation college students shows that first-generation students acrossall majors engage less than their peers and perceive the college
