When fifteen hundred engineers replied to the question“What are the most important factors in determining probable success or failure in engineering?[they] mentioned personal qualities more than seven times as frequently as they did knowledgeof engineering science and the

These customizable wireless components werecreated using open source software running on the affordable RPi-3B units [13]. These units mustbe equipped with USB wireless adaptors with wireless chips that support WPA3 protocols andrequirements (such as TL-WN722N [14]).

This leaves the generalist energy system student better prepared to recognize and interpret the psychrometric approach when it is encountered. While many desirable assessments of educational potential and success were limited due to limitations and difficulties especially as imposed by the pandemic, all feasible informal and anecdotal results were at least minimally positive.ConclusionsUltimately, this presentation should be a useful addition to

It allows the creators to really focus in on their users and truly understandwhat it is they are even trying to make or solve for a group of people.”“The main focus of this class is finding ways to engineer things that are for a specific group, soof course the empathy mapping would be most important in teaching us how to assess theimportance of a user's perspectives”“The idea of an empathy map never really occurred to me as an engineering tool before thiscourse. Learning how to create one and the importance of it exposed me to the broader range ofconsiderations that go into a project beyond purely technical aspects.”“The empathy map helped me to see the human-centered design and try to help the person

Engineering Identity Model developed includes interest (the desire/curiosityto think about and do well in engineering), performance/competency (belief in the ability toperform required engineering tasks and understand engineering context), and recognition (feelingthat others see them as a good engineering student).Temporary Ethnic Disconnect TheoryThe Temporary Ethnic Disconnect, as described by Zerrin Bulut [16] building off of IlhanKaya’s [17] study of identity, is an ethnic assessment, generally during college years, in whichthe 2nd-generation individual is at a “crossroads”: either they choose to connect more ordisconnect to their Turkish identity as a Turkish-American. It’s a choice between completeassimilation into American culture or

Question formats included: true/false,multiple choice, multiple answer, fill in the blank, numeric answer, and matching Aftercompleting an attempt, students could review their answers and automatic feedback from theinstructor. Students were allowed two attempts to complete each comprehension check, and thehighest grade was recorded.Comprehension checks typically required less than an hour to create. The most time-consumingelement was determining the appropriate questions to demonstrate understanding of key topics,which occasionally included creating

Data and corresponding results were taken from various sources including: student work(reports and presentations), faculty notes during formal assessments, and faculty observationsduring consultations and progress meetings. Additionally, an end of year optional student surveyon technology was administered.

a tremendous example of how to teach andwork in an explicitly anti-domination, liberatory, way.Engineering is often described as “creative problem-solving,” though opportunities for divergentthinking and autonomous choice are limited during engineering education. According to Daly, etal., “In engineering, the word ‘creativity’ may evoke discomfort because it seems subjective andambiguous” [65]. Even studies and proposals to enhance engineers’ creativity often frame linear,methodical approaches, with clear steps and rubrics for assessment. Kazerounian and Foley [66]found that engineering students perceived their instructors not to value creativity, while theinstructors reported that they did value it, but found it lacking in their students
