This three-year study examines the effect of the use of Peer-Led TeamLearning (PLTL) on students’ academic performance, STEM experiences, and persistence inengineering programs [2]. The data collected is from May 2018- May 2020. The present studypopulation is undergraduate engineering students at a multi-campus, federally designatedHispanic-serving, public, two-year college in the southeastern U.S. This paper will specificallyaddress the effects of the PLTL on the student’s STEM experiences.MethodsData were collected from focus groups and roundtable discussions held in May 2019 andOctober 2019.

Starting in the field of human factors and ergonomics, scholarshave linked sociotechnical ideas to their process of design. In Clegg’s outline of sociotechnicalprinciples, they state how technocentric designs seek to “remove error-prone humans fromprocesses” rather than “viewing humans as assets who can be supported in meeting their goals”(Clegg, 2000, p. 466).

Page 24.375.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Designing a Stage of “Romance” for Programs in Technological Literacy.AbstractIn previous paper in these proceedings* it was argued (a) that a liberal education that takes no account ofengineering and technological literacy cannot be by definition liberal, and (b) that programs of engineering andtechnological literacy can be designed to bridge the academic-vocational divide inherent in reports such as thatundertaken for the National Governors Association. In support of this argument a model curriculum based on theepistemologies of Macmurray and Newman was presented. It was necessarily integrated and trans-disciplinary, andit was argued that it

Downey and Lucena 3 affirm that not onlyengineering identity and what counts as engineering knowledge are closely related, but also bothengineering identity and engineering knowledge are tied to national identity and priorities of thetime. Moreover, epistemology and its pedagogical implications are critically important in thediscussion of systemic change and transformation of engineering education. For example, Olson 4and Riley 5,6 have offered an epistemological critique of outcome-based paradigm to show why asa viable program of change it is self-defeating, partly, due to epistemic rigidity.The main goal of this

While women typically make up more than 50% of individuals studying life scienceat most universities and colleges across North America, we still see far fewer females inengineering than we do males.Much of the literature on gender studies in science, technology and engineering suggestsfemales enjoy and connect with these fields when subjects are placed within a human, socialor environmental context.
