important mechanism of cultural reproduction inengineering education is what education scholars call “the hidden curriculum”, which can bedefined as “the set of structured learning experiences or conditions that occur beyond designintent and apart from the explicit curriculum” [1]. Engineering education scholars have exploreddifferent ways the hidden curriculum manifests and impacts student experiences [2] [3], givingspecial attention to impacts on underrepresented and marginalized student groups [4] [5].This paper derives from a larger project exploring cultural reproduction in engineering with afocus on how engineering students and recent graduates think about individual and professionalethics [6]. That project has considered some of the

Experimental procedure: In your Raspberry Pi, start the File Manager… 3. Open-Ended Task 1: Use the GNU Assembler to execute your codes and report the results. Write the Assembly language code that will return the results of the following calculations: a) Select two numbers: one exceeding 255 and another number less than 255, such that their difference would be less than 255. Evaluate their difference. b) Select two numbers both less than 255 but such that their product is larger than 255. Evaluate
Access Network, a national network of student-led organizations working for equity in STEM. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 STEM students leading cultural change: How agency and capacity for collective action are cultivated within a distributed networkAbstractIn typical Engineering and Science education, students often are not given opportunities to buildskills outside of narrowly defined, technical domains (Lucena 2013). Experiences that encouragestudents to engage in social justice and activist work is crowded out in traditional STEMprograms. Oftentimes, these structures must be created deliberately in order to provide studentleaders with
the student’s motivation level to use the different ECP instruments (PCB vs Traditional) before and at the end of the experiential learning labs.3. Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduates in STEM (COPUS): Classroom observation protocol for undergraduate students in STEM facilitates the gathering and classification of observational data, usually in large group situations, about what students are doing with what their instructor is doing [35]. This measured the student and instructor activity during the classroom lab session. SPSS was then used to analyze the data derived from this COPUS.4. Outcome Assessment: A collaborative process of inquiry into the learning outcomes of students, outcomes assessment entails analysis
since “amateur” freshmen mustbecome “champion” professional seniors in their chosen field.The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ) instituted a major initiative to enhance theprobability of success for all incoming freshmen. The new mandatory one credit course wastitled “University Scholarship”. Designed to give freshmen basic “boxing” skills to succeedacademically, the section of the course offered to Engineering Technology freshmen provides a“one – two punch” through the collaborative efforts of the Engineering Technology Division andUPJ’s Academic Support Center.The “first punch” comes from “boxing” lessons taught by the Academic Support Center andincluded a variety of “sparring” skills applicable to all college freshmen.

Communications were done mostly via emails. The teamindicated that it was important to focus on a customer’s needs as they were trying to balanceeducational goals and technical goals. Overall, the team followed a general engineering designprocess.

They reportedhigher levels of
structures in the pedagogies of technical communication, rhetoric, andcomposition for constructing persuasive technical documents. The lectures and assignments inCE 4101 are based on the analysis of the following rhetorically-situated points: 31 Rather than taking an upper division writing course, students at the University of Minnesota are required toaccumulate a certain number of writing intensive credits by completing service or disciplinary courses so denoted.2 Housed in the Civil Engineering department, CE 4101 attracts a number of students from other engineeringdisciplines, partly because of the demand for the topic and partly because of the writing intensive designator. Manyof the workgroups, therefore, are multidisciplinary

Upon hearing the team namecalled for second place of Division I, cheers of excitement shot up from every youth. The youthshowed no disappointment that they did not qualify for the international competition; instead,their success of scoring well in each portion of the overall competition after months of hard workhad earned the team a LEGO trophy for display in their school.ChallengesTwo major challenges the graduate students encountered were communicating with youth andleading to learning as opposed to giving answers. For example, the youth were finding itdifficult to build a drive system for the robot that would

before and internally; where to placecommas; the use of the semi-colon; punctuation with lists; and where does the punctuation go infigures and tables. A few grammar rules presented in the context of technical documentation to anengineering course at the beginning of each semester or quarter will, in most cases, eliminate manyof these mistakes.A third concern among readers of student text is the flat dull quality that comes from much of thetext that is produced by students. This quality reflects a lack of flow in the wording, a conditionsimilar to reading a list that indicates no apparent connection among the various parts of the list.This lack of connection makes a reader quickly begin to wander, sometimes becoming lost inpersonal thoughts far

Thisinformation is designed to help leaders in the engineering school comprehend the specific impactof the first-year design course, in addition to laying the foundation for a long-term retention study. There are two parts of this study: online surveys and a focus group. The participants forthe surveys included subsets of the 48 freshmen students in the course. To conduct this datacollection, three surveys were administered to generate paired data used to investigate trends overtime. To generate qualitative data and gain insight into what might be underlying the results of thesurveys, a focus group session was conducted
performanalyses where financial and engineering aspects are clearly linked is invaluable.Another aspect of our rationale is that the subject of economics is worthy of serious rigor in anengineering program. This approach could present problems for those teaching very largesections, online courses, or perhaps in lower division courses where a student’s engineeringskills are not as well-developed. However, in traditional classrooms made up of upper-divisionengineering students, students often appreciate not spending their time in courses where there isno clear technical component imbedded within the work.Lessons LearnedAs with any course where the subject at hand is given comprehensive and rigorous treatment, ittakes time to refine the delivery.

These characteristics become thecriteria they later use for peer assessment.Over the course of many workshops in several years, we have collected these lists from hundredsof groups and have begun analyzing them for common patterns. We discuss encouraging resultssuggesting that even lower-division undergraduates list characteristics that align well with theconditions that the group learning and project management literatures identify as contributing tosuccessful learning and project completion, respectively.We conjecture that much of the workshop’s value lies in two distinct outcomes: (1) helpingstudents articulate and place
