From this study, anecdotal evidence, at least, has been generated to show that peoplenavigating engineering environments do hold implicit bias. Further work is necessary tounderstand the ways in which eye-tracking can be used to accurately detect such biases.References[1] D. Chubin, G. May and E.

appropriate to the student's field of study. The engineering sciences have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs. c.) a general education
American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Teaching Coding to Elementary Student: the Use of Collective ArgumentationIntroductionStudents develop their perception of the STEM disciplines before and during the elementaryschool grades [1]. Interviews of 116 scientist and engineers, who are either practicing inindustry or participating in graduate studies, found that 60-65% of both female and maleinterviewees indicated their interest in the STEM disciplines was developed before middleschool [2]. A survey of 1000 scientist and 150+ students gives similar results [3]. Whencombined with findings, e.g., [4], [5] that suggest that the elementary years are when studentsdevelop self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation
An Electrical Systems Course in a General Engineering Program: Experience and LessonsAbstractGeneral engineering programs, by their nature, require a curriculum covering a broad range ofmaterial from multiple engineering disciplines. Individual courses must support the outcomes ofthe program and sufficient coverage of topics is critical for the success of the program and thestudents. The challenge in key topical areas is to balance the conflict between the limitedavailable time and the breadth and depth of topics. One topical area is electrical systems, whichencompasses electrical engineering concepts for the general engineer. Required topics for anelectrical systems course could include basic circuit concepts

Since RIT is a primarily undergraduate institution, where many of the MSstudents are just advanced undergraduates, this peer group does not exist for many of our dual-degree students who are taking four courses per quarter, holding down jobs, and participating ina variety of on-campus extracurricular activities. To facilitate this skill set development in earlyBS/MS students, a graduate seminar series has been piloted this year. Topics have been selectedand timed to help guide students through the process of finding a thesis topic/advisor, startingtheir thesis research, and

Unfortunately,it is difficult to motivate students when they do not see how their work applies to the real world1 .

King and Kitchener, in theirReflective Judgment model, posit that the process of knowing (centered on Baxter-Magolda’s“how do I know?”) ultimately leads to the ability to independently reason in situations ofuncertainty and take responsibility for decisions15, much like professional educators andresearchers do as a matter of course in their workaday lives. While these models focus primarilyon college students, they allow a better understanding of general learning processes and canprovide guidelines for promoting development through program structure 14.
