Specific recurring themes identified asissues, suggestions, and visionings (such as the absence of and need for continuing conversationsthroughout the year, the need to change engineering culture, devaluation of various forms ofexpertise other than the technical) were then brought into conversation with practices identifiedin studying feminist

) Division of ASEE in 2011. One sign of therenewed overlap is “the philosophical turn” in which the TEL group went beyond identifying theknowledge technologically literate citizens needed to possess and began to articulate “thegeneralizable principles that distinguish engineering from related disciplines and that transcendparticular technological milieus” [20, p. 1].The 2005-2006 ASEE conferences had 39 papers mentioning STS, of which we deemed 15 to bepracticing applied STS. Those 15 papers show striking commonalities in their arguments andassumptions about the role of STS in engineering education. Specifically, the general definitionof STS that underlies all of these papers is that STS is the idea that technology and society areconnected. The

Does the threshold vary by higher educationinstitution? We investigated whether the data supports using a singular combined threshold usingboth high school grade point average (HSGPA) and standardized test scores, or whether the datasuggests using another model for predicting success in engineering as measured by a six-yearengineering graduation rate.Background: During 2005-2015, 81% of all U.S. undergraduate engineering degrees wereawarded

Then, a corresponding multiplayer VR game isdeveloped, which allows for the collaboration of multiple VR users in the same virtualenvironment. With a VR headset and proper infrastructure, a user can participate in a simulationgame from any location. This paper explores whether multiplayer VR simulations could be usedas an alternative to physical simulations.1.

redefined failure as anopportunity to learn and built their resilience to challenge and risk.The field of engineering education is moving beyond teaching specific content, to thinking abouthow to holistically develop engineers who are resilient, and who can work through failure, tackleill-structured problems, and address real-world challenges [1]-[4]. In solving these real-worldproblems, solutions are rarely straightforward nor adequately achieved through a singular firstattempt [5], [6]. Thus, the ability to iterate through failure is a critical element of both learningand engineering design.How students think about and persist through failure is influenced by their understanding of therole of iteration in both engineering design and their own
