] between December 2020 and December 2023. The objective of the projectwas to evaluate the efficacy of critical narrative as a pedagogical tool for helping engineeringstudents engage with the broader impacts and professional responsibilities associated withengineering work. Motivation for the project was driven by a recognition within the researchteam that traditional engineering case studies often fail to engage students in critical thinkingbeyond the boundaries of the information provided in the specific case. Consistent with findingsby Martin et al. (2021)[2], traditional case studies are also limited to “decision-making inprofessional contexts and less on power relations, equity and the broader societal mission ofengineering.” As a novel

, they need to understand the different stakeholders who are impacted by thedesigns they create. In a typical civil engineering design process, direct stakeholders (e.g. theclient) may be involved during the beginning of the process when establishing the criteria of theproject, with perhaps some limited community engagement during public outreach. This approachhowever limits the perspectives contributing to a project. Values Sensitive Design (VSD) is amethodology that asks the engineer to systematically consider values and norms, direct andindirect stakeholders, and the long-lasting impacts early and throughout the design process to craftmore equitable solutions and reduce or eliminate unintended consequences.

Some NW-ETEP sites have engaged students inhands-on activities (e.g Human Powered Paper Vehicle Competition), conferences, living-learning communities, and site visits to industry. A key strategy of this program, however, is toconnect students to existing opportunities, not offering many new services.In terms of reaching the statewide goals of the grant, the data from WSU and UW suggest thatgoals 1 and 3 above may be achieved in the next two years.

Theoverall aim of this study is to increase the adoption of active learning in STEM classrooms. Wedefine active learning as any time an instructor engages students in the course content in waysthat go beyond simply lecturing to their students while their students are passively taking notes(e.g., think-pair-shares, in-class group projects). Previously, active learning has been shown toimprove student retention rates, grades, and understanding of course material

For example, several studies suggest thathigher levels of student engagement are associated with small liberal arts colleges18-21.

At each station, students read the elevationof the ground ten feet to the right and ten feet to the left of the station (It is assumed that thewidth of the road is 20 feet). They drew the cross-section of the profiles and calculated theamount of soil needed to be cut and fill. This process was completed for all stations and the totalamount of soil needed to be cut and fill was calculated. Figure 5 shows the method

Although extensive literature has documented the impacts of BPE efforts on participantsthemselves, less research examines the experiences of those who engage in efforts to broadenparticipation.

COVID-19 hasalso spurred the need for virtual learning as an alternative to face-to-face learning. Thedisruption of educational activities due to COVID-19 can have a negative impact onstudents’ social wellness, mental health, and sense of community. The environment hasalso caused many educators to adjust and modify their curriculum to fit virtual learning.As noted by Barnett-Braddock [4], individuals’ behavior and environment impact howthey learn, and online learning comes with the challenges to sustain student attention ina virtual learning environment especially for those students with attention and learningproblems.
