seek to gather data from large sample sizes that provide strong evidence for possible trends.We recognize that our current methodology is not feasible for a larger-scale study implementedby course instructors nationwide, as it requires work on the part of the instructor. We aredeveloping standardized problems and an accompanying questionnaire that can be easilyintegrated as a homework problem in the appropriate course(s). We will use online datacollection, and point-of-collection consent, to minimize any work for the course instructor.To further support standardization, we will not be using previous simulation tools such asGMAT but rather are developing simulation tools that can be run on software commonly used byengineering students, such as

The majority of all bachelor degreesawarded in engineering are to [w]hite males”[4],[5]. Thinking about students’ meaningful writingexperiences as related to enagement may be a way to further examine engagement as a “precursorto persistence”[6].Defining meaningful writing is important to understand its distinction.

This method requires at least one member of aninstructional team or a single instructor to teach and evaluate the same course(s) for morethan a single iteration. A modified version could be employed if a researcher were engagedin the course observations and evaluations over time with different instructors. The efficacyof the latter model has not been tested.Both qualitative and quantitative data are collected while teaching the design courses,managing the teams, and their projects. The primary purpose of the data collected is studentlearning activities and

This theoryexplicitly notes that, depending on a situation’s relative value to a person, one or both identitytypes will influence the person’s behavior. This is also the reigning difference between Tajfel’s[14] Social Identity Theory and Turner’s [18] Self-Categorization Theory; where the former“suggests a continuum of interpersonal versus intergroup behavior,” the latter “pronounces thatboth—social and personal identity processes—may be at work simultaneously” [15]. Self-Categorization notes that personal identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s personalattributes and social identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s membership of a

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

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
