preliminary.Potential applications of threshold concepts in interdisciplinary engineering education includeintegrating them into curriculum design. Research-guided teaching practices suggest thatthreshold concepts can serve as focal points for curriculum renewal by structuring learningexperiences around transformative ideas that shift students’ cognitive frameworks. Although weare not quite at such a stage in engineering education, we get closer and closer to suchapplications as we continue to break down methodological barriers.

requires targeted and theoretically informedapproaches to teaching [5, 6].Different from other disciplines, engineering requires students to integrate foundational scientificprinciples, technological innovation, and computational reasoning to address complex andill-defined real-world problems. This combination makes misconceptions particularlyproblematic in engineering contexts as conceptual misconceptions may not be evident whenstudents are calculating values, but rather emerge when reasoning about a problem conceptually[7, 8, 9]. In addition, errors in basic physics can lead to flawed assumptions in technology anddesign reasoning [10]. Misconceptions in science like physics, such as those assessed in the ForceConcept Inventory (FCI), are not

While its human-centerednature and focus on reading and writing stories can be overtly enticing in a numbers dominantdiscipline, engineering education researchers are cautioned not to assume that narrative researchis light work simply because its medium is stories. On the contrary, narrative research requiresongoing and explicit commitments to the

Throughtheir engagement in CoPs, these participants reflected on their teaching practices, aligned themwith their values, and explored pathways to foster innovation within their contexts. Theirexperiences offer insights into how CoPs can support women faculty in negotiating their rolesand contributing to systemic change in engineering education.We investigate the experiences of three women engineering teaching faculty members whoparticipated in CoPs aimed at fostering teaching innovation in a research-intensive university.By using CoPs framework, we examine how these

Within the literature on education, there is a clear consensus on theprinciples that increase learning. At the core is a shift in principle from the post-positivism of ‘instructor-centered’teaching practices to the constructivism of ‘student-centered’ ones, often implemented via ‘Research BasedInstructional Practices’ (RBIS) [1,2].

Concept inventoriesfacilitate scientific literacy, support teaching improvements, and foster curricular reform [4]. Forexample, by using CI, engineering instructors can tailor their teaching to address specificstudents’ misconceptions that the CI identifies.Previous studies have acknowledged the effectiveness of CIs in evaluating students'understanding of concepts, highlighting their role in

However, he had some negative recognition from others and also had lowperformance: during the spring semester, he withdrew from Physics II and was failing CalculusII. When asked if he felt like he belonged in engineering, he responded, “There are a couple ofpeople in my major who I’m not so friendly with, who have at points told me that I don’t belong.And I have responded to them back with, ‘I’m here.’ Even if I don’t belong, I have theperspective of, ‘I’m going to be here no matter what.’” He knows that his performance is notwhat other people expect.
