Both students and faculty believe that when there is some kind ofmeaningful personal connection, learning

Understanding engineering course content and being able to apply thatknowledge in other contexts was the main priority for each student interviewed.Theme 4: Social Connections with Peers (supplement)Connie did not attribute engineering inspiration or motivation to family members, but rather toher peers. When asked about the most helpful resource for engineering students, she said, For me, the most helpful was the classmate[s] because seeing other people’s perspectives and also a lot of my classmates had internships already, and so, being able to talk to them like, hey, what is this like? What do you like about it? What do you not like
the UACI camp both summers.This platform enabled instructors to engage the camp participants in real-time, render the camp curriculaand facilitate hand-on activities collaboratively. Zoom offers a feature called “breakout rooms”, whichallows the host and co-host(s) of the meeting to form separate smaller groups within the meeting. Theinstructors and facilitators used this feature to provide assistance to students who exhibited difficultygrasping information and/or completing the hands-on activities. The Uhuru Academy (UA) instructors utilized Canva to deploy the STEM history lessons.

, maintaining health, expressing humanity throughthe arts, and experiencing joy has been a major trend throughout human history. At the sametime, engineering has also been used for destructive purposes, including the development of toolsand processes that subjugate and inflict violence upon humans, other living things, and theenvironment. A critical juncture in the path that engineering has taken occurred during the 2ndWestern Industrial Revolution from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. During this time,enterprises for capitalist accumulation of wealth and power came to dominate the field ofengineering and engineers became wedded to the interests of corporate capitalism. Today thelegacy of this shift persists. While there continue to be engineers

For this reason, the demographics itemswere moved to be placed at the end of the survey.Survey AdministrationIn Spring 2023, the survey was administered to aerospace engineering undergraduate students atthe University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Michigan. Students were surveyed intwo classes where we were implementing macroethics lessons–a sophomore aerospace vehicledesign course at the University of Colorado Boulder and a senior space system design course atthe University of Michigan. Prior to the planned macroethics lesson(s), students enrolled

How instructors organize classroom materials can signal to students the environmentthat the lab will create. Faculty can set the stage for an inclusive classroom by including syllabusstatement(s) and an instructor learning philosophy. These sections of the syllabus connectstudents with resources and make clear the instructor’s commitment to creating an inclusiveenvironment. When students come to class on the first day, spending time reviewing these itemsdemonstrates their importance to the class. If you have a syllabus quiz, including questions onthese items can also reinforce their importance to students.Syllabus statements can include a land grant

CAD self-efficacy.The hierarchical regression analysis did not demonstrate any of the CAD learning experiences tobe statistically significant to the development of Engineering Design self-efficacy. This contrastswith what we might initially expect, based on Carberry et al.’s assertion that engineering designself-efficacy is highly dependent on engineering experiences [4]. However, similar to Schar et al.our predictor variables do not encompass all possible CAD learning experiences, let aloneengineering learning experiences [2]. Therefore, future work should consider including newpredictor variables [2] as the current CAD learning experiences did not appear as effective asintended.Since only the pre-project survey data was analyzed in this

, separating themselves from the situation(s) where the virus waspresent. This may come in the form of switching majors away from science, technology,engineering, and mathematics, to changing departments, universities, or even jobs. To preventthis attrition, ingroup experts and peers inoculate one’s self-concept by creating environmentsthat foster social belonging (Tse, Logel, & Spencer, 2011). In fact, “recruitment and retention ofunderrepresented groups who are newcomers at entry level is closely dependent on the visibility”of ingroup members (Dasgupta, 2011a). A stronger and more stable sense of belonging is onlyone benefit these ‘social vaccines’ can have. Exposure to ingroup experts and peers in high-achievement environments strengthens

. Another page of the survey asked students to select one or two nouns(among 14 options) that best describe the nature of the role they took in the context of the team.Nouns connoted various conceptions of leadership (e.g., Director, Sheriff), fellowship (e.g.,Therapist, Referee), and followship (e.g., Assistant, Secretary).Part 4. Explain Choices. The final page required participants to offer some explanation orclarification of their previous responses by answering at least one of two prompts: (a) “How didYOU decide how much individual effort to invest in each design task?” (b) “What other verb(s)or noun(s) describe how YOU contributed to the design project and functioned within yourTEAM? Why?”AnalysisThe WTCS data were analyzed using quantitative
outcomes, and interpersonal outcomes. Empathic processesresemble the skills dimension of Walther et al.’s [6] model of empathy in engineering andmanifest through perspective-taking, self/other awareness, and related skills. As this modelemphasizes, however, one’s orientation to others and one’s behavioral dispositions also play akey role in determining whether one will empathize. Thus, as one example, numerous factorsinfluence ‘team member understanding.’ Moreover, as Davis’s model emphasizes, this type ofintrapersonal understanding can promote interpersonal action or behavior.Second, empathy can promote positive teaming environments. Such positive teamingenvironments may be evident through a lack of negative valences, such as limited frustration
