The overarching research question is: Whatsociocultural norms and lived experiences are dominant in the context of concept inventoryquestions?Literature ReviewConcept Inventories Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators and educationalresearchers commonly use concept inventories (CIs) to assess students’ conceptualunderstanding of foundational topics by asking students about the topics in everyday, out of theclassroom contexts [2], [5]. Globally CIs are used to assess students’ conceptual understandingof specific subject areas and study the effectiveness of curriculum

AbstractReal-world contexts help students engage with learning activities. The Framework for K-12Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards emphasize integrating STEMcontent and real-world contexts into K-12 learning experiences, highlighting the need for high-quality curriculum. In engineering design-based STEM integration curricula, the potential forclient letters to help foster student learning and engagement has been understudied

manufacturing, biomechanics, and other areas.Therefore, undergraduate BME students need intensive practical training on biomedical toolsand equipment to adequately prepare them for industrial careers. It is expected that upongraduation, most students would seek opportunities in industry [1]. Laboratories offer therequired real-world experience that is reported to significantly impact students’ learningexperience when integrated into the engineering curriculum [2].However, the use of physical laboratories comes with high monetary implications forinstitutions in terms of equipment acquisition, equipment maintenance, and staffingrequirements, especially in a rapidly evolving field like BME. Despite these challenges, thereremains an increasing industrial

. Engineering and society are thus part of anendogenous relationship within a constrained system. Most engineering students recognize theimportance of engineering and technology for the development of society; however, the aboveendogenous relationship is not traditionally discussed within the engineering curriculum. Yetengineering design does not take place in a vacuum (Leydens & Lucena, 2014; National Academyof Engineering (NAE), 2017) but rather within socio-technical and political systems. Furthermore, research in engineering education has shown that learning related to publicwelfare and ethics in engineering undergraduate education declines with seniority (i.e., from first-year students to senior year) (see Cech, 2014). Therefore

Our methodology begins by educating theteachers about the capstone experience and how to incorporate it in their classroom instructionswhen they return to their schools. We continue to work with and monitor the teachers duringtheir teaching activities over one academic year.We have implemented the capstone experience in the first

The National Academies have echoed similar sentiments regarding engineering21.When science education as a formal subject in US public schools was beginning to take root,John Dewey24 stated that the curriculum should “arouse interest in the discovery of causes,dynamic processes, [and] operating forces.” These dynamic processes could be explored througha systems perspective.

Our intent is to receive feedback and input about the questions being asked and theCLIMATE instrument. Our objective is to share the nationally representative non-identifiable responses(the estimated goal is 4,000 responses) openly with education researchers interested in studentsunderstanding about climate change, their engineering identity, career motivations, and agency throughengineering. Ultimately, we want this research to become a catalyst for teaching about topics related toclimate change in engineering and its implications for
