However, previous research featuredindividuals who experienced HC and responded to it. This current research thread isfocused on individuals who are resistant to self-/advocacy around engineering HC.MethodsData collection The research team utilized responses to the UPHEME (Uncovering PreviouslyHidden Messages in Engineering) survey, a mixed-methods survey that has beenpreviously validated [12]. The survey contains a video vignette that provides an exampleof what HC looks like in engineering contexts. The video vignette features actors

Unique to this project, the long-termeffects of involvement in humanitarian engineering projects will be studied in comparison to themore immediate effects which have been studied elsewhere. The mixed-methods study utilizes aquestionnaire built from two existing instruments as well as open-ended questions and interviewsto further understand these impacts. This paper will focus on the quantitative data analysisassociated with the two instruments from the questionnaire whereas initial qualitative analysishas been presented in [2].This research is built on the foundational work of many authors in engineering educationliterature

Reports are providedby NCEES to each state PE Board and to each EAC/ABET program following each examadministration outlining the performance of students by engineering discipline on groupings ofquestions by topic area. This information can provide insight on program strengths andweaknesses by topic area, particularly when evaluated over the course of a number ofadministrations.

Much of the literature also points to “transfershock”, as originally coined by Hills et al. in 1965 [16]. This “shock” certainly relates toSchlossberg's theory introduced over a decade later.It is important to support transfer engineering students in effective ways due to limitedinstitutional resources.

Research is needed that examines how strategicambiguity is navigated or negotiated in the course of promotion reform, and especially whengendered power differentials are in play.In this paper, we address this gap by investigating the process by which reform of the Associate-to-Full promotion system unfolds within a STEM-intensive university. Drawing from in-depthlongitudinal case study data, we find that reform involves management of strategic ambiguityusing three inter-related micro-processes: 1) negotiations over the what of promotion criteria andsystems; 2) struggles over who controls the formulation of promotion policy and interpretation ofcriteria; and 3) decisions over how the change process itself should unfold

In the Nigerian context, particularly as observedin this study, there was a huge reliance on visual and auditory stimuli as forms of formativeassessment by all the observed instructors.Although blatantly subjective, this cue was particularly effective in helping teachers navigatethrough the courses they taught. It became a matter of discussion during the follow-up interviews.I was particularly interested in understanding how instructors initiated them, how they interpretedthese visual and auditory cues, and how they learned to move on after the verification orelaboration had concluded. One instructor suggested that it was not ideal, because it was not anobjective test of understanding

As a result, the effect of embedding girders in the diaphragm could not becompletely evaluated during the project duration, but initial assessment of performance wasreported. Prestressed concrete bridge girders are fabricated by stretching steel cable strands to atension of approximately 200 ksi. Concrete is then poured around the stressed strands and whenthe concrete reaches the specified strength, the steel cable strands are cut at each end of thegirder. The strands inside the girder acts like a rubber band and attempt to snap. However, sincethe strands are bonded to the concrete, the concrete prevents the strand from snapping back to itsfull

research builds on five foundational assumptions: 1) leadership is aprocess of solving adaptive challenges, 2) it can be developed, 3) it requires holistic individualdevelopment, 4) it is relational, and 5) it happens in context. They go on to suggest that theumbrella term, leadership learning, is made up of three discrete elements: leadership training,leadership education, and leadership development. Leadership training involves activitiesdesigned to improve the performance of individuals in specific managerial roles; leadershipeducation aims to improve individuals’ leadership competencies beyond their current roles; andleadership development involves a “continuous, systemic process designed to expand thecapacities and awareness of individuals
