We do not purport that this conditional sub-sample representsall individuals in our sample engaging in engineering leadership-related work (especially given non-positional and distributed modes of leadership [18]), yet we required a consistent method of boundingthe scope of occupational experiences on which to focus, given the quantity and variety of occupationaloutcomes we observed. There are undoubtedly many others among our sample pursuing or engagingin engineering leadership across different types of careers or earlier in their engineering leadershipjourneys; for these reasons, we frame the findings that follow as pertinent to the engineeringleadership education community without claiming they

However, LDA, by itself, lacks language generation capabilities,limiting its role to that of an automated text pre-processing module within chatbots.Despite the active interest of the existing CSCL community in deploying conversation agents, therole of a large language model with language generation capabilities as a conversation agentremains largely unexplored. While significant technical advancements have been made in naturallanguage processing, their impact on student engagement during CSCL activities requiresthorough investigation to demystify their

As noted by Skaalvick and Skaalick32, acommon conceptualization of teacher self-efficacy is the perceived ability to bring out desirededucational outcomes through the development, organization, and implementation of educationalactivities. Teacher self-efficacy has been found to increase if teachers believe that it is withintheir power to influence students in an educational environment34. Importantly, low self-efficacyhas been found to correlate negatively with

STEM FieldsAbstractAs demand for qualified workers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields continues to rise, there is a need to not only consider how to improve engagement andretention, but also an opportunity to strive towards broadening participation. To create a moreequitable workforce, and in particular, one that encourages the enrollment and persistence ofunderrepresented minorities, pedagogy centered around cultivating inclusivity is key. Along theselines, empathy as a construct can play a crucial role in aiding students to consider the impact oftheir own decisions and behaviors on others and society. Given the necessity of embedding theconcept of empathy within post-secondary education, we sought to understand

Most fundamentally, the Grand Challenges proceed from the premise that engineeringresearch, construction, invention, and production are to take precedence over their absence, asbefits a body dedicated not to the contraction of such enterprises but to their extension. Yet theinterests of sustainability, global health, and other areas of human well-being might be bestserved in certain cases by just such a turning away from engineering. By making explicit thesocial and historical assumptions of the NAE’s Grand Challenges, and probing the implicationsof those assumptions for a diverse range of actors and communities, we may pave the way formore thoughtful engagement

Learners give priority to evidence, which allows them to develop and evaluate explanations that address scientifically oriented questions.3. Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions.4. Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations, particularly those reflecting scientific understanding.5.
