relationship toeach other, this paper proposes a framework regarding the mediating role of knowledgesymmetry (i.e., how similar two individual’s knowledge levels are) in the co-construction andco-regulation of learners, which (to the author’s knowledge) has yet to be synthesized forcurricular design in the relevant literature. Finally, this paper provides a framework-baseddiscussion to benefit educators seeking collaboration in the classroom.BackgroundAs an engineer and educator, the author’s work in engineering education has focused onidentifying variables related to learning for the purpose of improvement. To date, the author’sexperience has led them to the epistemological understanding that the learner and otherindividuals are inseparable variables

Thisprompts the question: To what extent is it possible for industry professionals to conductengineering education research without an academic partner? What barriers exist for thoseconducting engineering education research while working in education-adjacent industries? Thiswork in process paper outlines our approach to addressing these research questions by collectingdata from colleagues at two education-adjacent companies. From this research, we hope to gain abetter understanding of how industry members can overcome
our collective duty to collaborate towards preparing future leaders in engineeringeducation, a multi-institutional graduate program showcase was held on September 25th, 2023.We examined the value of this showcase by answering two evaluation questions: ● How do students value the opportunity to engage with diverse graduate programs in a single session? ● To what degree did the virtual multi-institutional showcase on engineering education graduate research programs achieve its stated objectives?To answer these questions, we leveraged Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model [4] and surveyresponses from students.FrameworkEvaluating graduate recruitment events involves assessing multiple aspects to determineeffectiveness in attracting and

Designinginstructional materials that consider the political effects of engineering in STEM educationencourages students who may become future engineers to think about ethical concerns inengineering early in their careers.Design ImplicationsThis game, with varying levels of complexity, is for students from the upper elementary to theundergraduate level. With younger age groups, the focus of the game is on collaborative effortsto redesign the transit system for their community and assessing their system.

this collaborative work, andour current process for analyzing our data sources. Context In the first year of our Engineering Education Ph.D. studies, we conducted design-based research studies that involved co-design elements. We attend a liberal arts institution, each with two Ph.D. advisors, have one advisor in common, and contribute to external research groups. We did two separate research studies with our respective research groups, the designs of which are detailed in the next section. In this work, we reflect on our individual experiences and identify common themes from our self-reflections and the data sources from our studies.

implications that shape the current and futurelandscape of this field. Our comprehensive approach addresses the primary research question, "What are the themes, practice, and research implications emerging from the research on the use ofsocial media in engineering education?"The findings reveal four distinct themes, each contributing uniquely to understanding the role ofsocial media in engineering education: 1. Active learning and engagement through social media: Studies indicate social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter significantly enhance student engagement, collaboration, and communication, contributing to improved academic outcomes. 2. Social media information literacy: social media serves as an efficient

IntroductionAppreciative Inquiry (APPI) is an asset-based research approach that has been used in a range ofdomains, including organizational development, public health, and education, to study andfacilitate social change in organizations and communities [1], [2], [3]. APPI is grounded in socialconstructivist theory, which suggests
successful engagement inengineering projects and problem-solving scenarios, addressing educational challenges andsupporting engineering education in project-based and collaborative settings [2].3. Methods3.1. Context and participantsThe study included a randomized sub-sample of 16 first-year engineering students out of a pool of50 students randomly selected and analyzed from 248 students enrolled in the online 100-levelcourse conducted via Microsoft Teams during the Fall 2020 semester due to COVID-19restrictions. The random selection process aimed to ensure that the sub-sample was representativeof the larger student population in the course. Applying this random sampling technique helpsreduce bias and increases the likelihood that the
