, technology failures created significant resistance to widespread adoption [2, p. 29]. Theability to have robust communication and interaction between students and educators is essentialto getting buy-in from both parties. This section explores the current technologies in use fortoday’s online courses, current and emerging grading technologies, and considers the keyemerging technologies required to enable online learning to continue to improve its deliverymethods and expand in scope. The current online learning environment relies heavily on technology to enable thesharing of information and to provide feedback to students.

Encouragement badges were awarded for accessing the flashcards or attending office hours; repeating these behaviors earned higher levels of the badges.Three times over the semester students are required to write something: an ethics response onday 01, written instructions for using the right-hand-rule for three-dimensional moments on day15, and a project report on day 40. Some students believe that becoming an engineer means theynever have to write anything again; while assigning writing assignments can disabuse them ofthis notion, we hoped that assigning badges would highlight some of the places where engineersuse writing skills. The writing badges also have

The third is a project where studentsworked in teams to propose a project in their choice of one of two topics: one is a design projecton solar thermal energy and the other is a research project using calorimetry.The course consists of a 1-hour weekly lecture on Monday morning to discuss theory needed forthat week and present skills such as using MATLAB, uncertainty analysis, writing lab reports, etc.Students then meet in the afternoon on one day (Monday-Thursday) for a 3-hr lab session. Duringthis session, they are divided into breakout rooms to meet and work with their peers on

Themajority of students report feeling worried about making progress toward theirdegree, and about half worried about completing the semester. Two benefitsstudents identified was having access to course materials all the time through theLMS and the flexibility of remote learning. Findings also show that technicianstudents are quite diverse by way of age, partner status, having a family, race-ethnicity, employment status, and educational background. About one-third ofstudents who responded are women. This paper concludes with several

In this citational analysis, we suggest that the limited citationof Black women should be interrogated and redressed as a form of inequity. Framing this projectwithin the politics of citation and the current campaign to #CiteBlackWomen, we work toexplore how the term “intersectional” has been embraced, whose theories have been adopted,ignored

In the course, students iteratively reflect on andcommunicate their past experiences and development of competencies through writing stories;drafting values and guiding principles; connecting with mentors; and applying learning to early-career decision-making. At the end of the course, students were able to: 1. Describe their growth in and mastery of competencies in the context of their undergraduate experiences. 2.

Somecourses available at the university or college level do not necessarily provide students with labsthat could facilitate gaining hands-on knowledge, on top of the theory learned from theclassroom, to make them more competitive with their peers [17]. Students will become criticalthinkers in this project by identifying a real-world problem faced in the IoT ecosystems. Althoughthey might realize that various IoT

In exchange for their increased educational labor comparedto the rest of the course, students who self-select to take part in the cogen would be able to dropone homework assignment from their final grade. Ultimately, four students—Danielle Gan, Patrick Paul, Justyn Welsh, and Thomas Pauly—offered to take part in the EJ cogen, writing to Anna about their prior experience with leadingclimate discussions.

One example of an information seekingbehavior could be a simple unassessed icebreaker activity at the beginning of a course where thestudents to share information about themselves while gathering information from their peers[19]. A second example is discussion boards. These are assessed collaborative activities whereeach student posts an answer to a specific question and is required to respond to other students’answers. The class discussion boards can flourish without the instructor’s guiding dialogue as thestudents engage in asynchronous threads [20], [21]. The keys are to include shared responsibility,require constructive feedback, and inspire expansive questioning. A third example

The reflection prompt was “Afterparticipating in the discussion forum, write up a short reflection (50 - 500 words) on what youlearned by answering the discussion questions and discussing with your peers. How were yourthoughts and ideas about manufacturing costs solidified, pivoted, and/or developed? How wasyour experience with the AR app?”.4.2 Analysis4.2.1 Codebook Development148 learners wrote reflections. Of this group, 84 learner reflections directly mentioned using theAR app. To perform an analysis of the reflections, we developed a codebook to tag andcategorize reflections through an iterative development process [21].

Jigsaw places more responsibility on the students, breaking theclass into groups and assigning one person from each group to become a subject-area expert on asubtopic (such as reading a specific journal article), and subsequently having each group memberteach their peers in the group the piece of the overall puzzle that they mastered. Finally, student-generated exam questions allow students to work through the key concepts learned during a unitthat deserve attention on an exam, anticipating many of the topics they will face while creatingone question that may be on the exam itself. These CATs provide an extensive list of places
architecture schoolsconduct these events publicly and with peers [4]. Between 1919-1932, the Bauhaus in Germanydeveloped a new form of studio pedagogy: a focus on giving students technical skills throughworkshops and preparing students for these workshops with “foundation courses” [3].While studio pedagogy has been used in fine arts for over a century, elements of the studio havebeen recently advanced as beneficial for engineering education. Wilson and Jennings [5] reportextensive efforts to use studio pedagogy to, among other goals, reduce emphasis on lecture.Other motivations for engineering studio pedagogy range from improving student employability[6], facilitating concept transfer [7], and familiarizing students with the use of experimentationand
ofperspectives and lived experience to the challenge at hand. Research shows that having diverseteams working on complex challenges produces more effective and impactful solutions thanworking in uniform teams or as lone individuals [31-35]. In the case of predominately onlineinstruction environment, teams also offer the opportunity for social connection and peer support.The class was divided into teams with the assistance of the Comprehensive Assessment forTeam-Member Effectiveness (CATME), an online tool that aides instructors in forming studentsteams based on best practices, and stayed in their assigned team for the entire semester.Synchronous class sessions: These sessions were held on Mondays via Zoom. This time wasdedicated to discussing and
element for a system such as ours because they meet the design requirement thatthe system should need minimal additional training. Satisfying the “minimal additional training”requirement means that the engineering education teaching and research community could applythe this kind of system off the shelf in their own work to identify important trends and answerrelevant questions in their own contexts.In educational data, NLP techniques have been used to study a variety of topics. Crossley et al.,[12], [13] used a series of rule-based approaches to study students’ sentiments and their mathidentities in an intelligent tutoring system. Crossley et al [14] also used an NLP approach tostudy differences in students writing styles as a function of their

Student performance was greatlyimproved when writing use cases, especially clarity and completeness which was reflected inimproved projects. Quantitatively, the same mindset objectives were assessed in other coursemodules as part a larger curriculum wide effort in Engineering. The numerical results indicatethat the modules in this course outperformed other modules in the curriculum for most of themindset objectives. Ultimately, the results indicate these types of modules may play an importantrole in entrepreneurial mindset development for computer science students.IntroductionThis paper describes a set of modules designed to

And finally, after a year-long experiment, it was concluded thatrequiring students to submit homework for a grade did not improve exam performance overstudents who were not required to submit homework for a grade [7].The course is a four-credit course taken by students in their second-year. It is taught in a combinedlecture/lab environment with three meetings a week for a total of five contact hours. Although thecourse has been taught by seven different instructors over the years, it is essentially a team-taughtcourse. Instructors use the same textbook and syllabus, they collaborate on writing and gradingquizzes and exams, and they use common grading rubrics. Over the years

In addition, Gentili concluded thatinterdisciplinary courses on complex systems can help new generations facing 21st centurychallenges to mold interdisciplinary mindsets with enhanced aptitudes to observe, analyze, judgeand summarize.The importance of the aforementioned aptitudes has also been recognized by Matthews et al.,who identified the Paul-Elder model of critical thinking as the ideal pedagogical framework incoursework designed to help graduate students comprehend and act on the literature, as well asdevelop independence of thought, writing skills, and speaking skills.

The results of those studies were then integrated with protocols found in theliterature from numerous qualitative studies of leadership and / or identity to develop thequalitative focus group protocols utilized with students. The qualitative protocols explored threedistinct areas of student perceptions: engineering identity, leadership identity, and engineeringleadership identity.

Since enrollment at UIC, Janet had dedicated her studies and research efforts on Mathematics Socialization and identity amongst pre-service elementary teachers, an effort at understanding the reasons for lack of interest in the subject with a view to proffer solution and engender/motivate interest amongst this group that will eventually reflect in their classroom practices. She is currently a Graduate Assistant with UIC Engage, a commu- nity focused project that provides help for less-privileged students from K-8 in mathematics, reading and writing. She continues to work as a substitute teacher occasionally to keep abreast with current practices

Contextualizing Inclusive Practices in EM PedagogiesInclusive curriculum signifies curricular practices that promote student success across allstudents [56]. The salient characteristics of inclusive practices that the authors have focused onin the third year core classes include representation of diverse STEM figures, providing safespaces for failure, promoting collaboration over competition, and supporting student autonomy.Each of these practices is founded in the literature as ways to support inclusive learningenvironments (e.g., [57], [58]).

Lord Byron achieved an immense reputation for his poetry and playboyantics in his own lifetime and is still regarded as one of the most important British Romanticpoets. Shortly after Ada’s birth, Lord Byron separated from his wife [4]. He died tragically ofdisease while fighting in the Greek War of Independence in 1824, when Ada was eight years old[4]. In 1833, the novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton wrote of Byron’s death: “When Byron passedaway, we turned to the actual and practical career of life: we awoke from the morbid
