Thus, engaging graduate students in activities that develop them as teachers andprovide them as opportunities beyond their research could increase retention in doctoralprograms, as well as improve their research abilities. Melding these two needs of improving K-12 STEM education with increasing diverseopportunities for graduate students to engage beyond their research projects could be synergistic.This paper describes a program to take the scientific expertise of researchers, both graduatestudents and postdoctoral fellows, to underserved secondary classrooms by pairing researcherswith teachers. The researchers share their research at the students’ levels by visiting theclassrooms

These assessments are shallow in that they do not reflectPellegrino’s priorities of cognition, observation, interpretation, comprehensiveness, coherence,and continuity[14-16]. However, there is potential for innovative assessments that can capturenot only content, but skills, and behaviors that are desired in the dynamic, interdisciplinaryengineering and design space. There is still a need for an assessment tool that accomplishes

Thus,92 instructors can use teaching practices to transition their students’ fixed mindsets into growth mindsets.9394 Self-Efficacy (SE)95 Students with high levels of self-efficacy are less likely to drop out of college [26]. Self-efficacy is an96 aspect of social cognitive theory defined as “the exercise of human agency through people’s beliefs in 2 97 their capabilities to produce desired effects by their actions” [27]. As with growth mindset, self-efficacy 98 is domain-specific. Students may have high self-efficacy in one discipline that does not necessarily 99 transfer to a related discipline

External influences through causal links result in changes in behaviorand capacity of participants [8][9]. Conceptually, career identity formation is congruent to thepersonal identity development processes in human beings with some identities remaining stablethroughout life, while others are more dynamic and change [10].

In other words, actively and collaboratively doing engineeringprojects and practices can result in deeper knowing than passively learning information andprocesses in decontextualized settings. Further, Stetsenko12 argues that activism provides apathway for learners making “authentic-authorial contributions” to community practices andknowledge (p. 33). This meaningful engagement moves “beyond the status quo” to “enacting thefuture through agentive contributions to collaborative practices”11 (p. 103). It allows students todo something good in the world through their activist stance.Engineering as a Socio-technical FieldTo take such a stance one needs socio-technical, not just technical, knowledge.

University, a mid-size Mid-Atlantic public university, we set out to foster anEntrepreneurial Mindset in our first-year engineering students by modifying the ProductArchaeology framework that was first developed by K. Lewis, et al. [1]. In our implementation,we allowed student teams to choose from a bank of products and guided them through the fourphases of product archaeology (preparation, excavation, evaluation, and explanation). For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments. Eachreport was graded using an
analysis library fornatural language processing called TextBlob [Lor2019]. TextBlob does part-of-speech tagging,noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, and classification. For sentiment analysis, TextBlobconsiders sentiment over the range of -1 (negative) to +1 (positive). Furthermore, TextBlob alsoquantifies the perceived subjectivity of words over the range of 0 (objective) to +1 (subjective).Both AFINN and TextBlob use their lexicons to determine the overall sentiment of a text sampleby averaging the sentiment of individual words. Neither approach tries to account for degreemodifying words or negation.Going beyond simple valance, Bradley and Lang created a normative emotional rating Englishwords in their ANEW 2017 lexicon [Bra2017
