The term minoritized is used to acknowledge the ongoing socialexperiences of marginalization, even when groups subject to racial-ethnic discrimination achievea numerical majority in the population. The majority of our participants indicated they were nottransfer students (80%). Close to half of our participants were enrolled in Predominantly WhiteInstitutions (49%) while 29% and 22% of our sampled participants were enrolled in HispanicServing Institutions and emerging Hispanic Serving Institutions, respectively.

Interestingly, the e-practicum is piggy-backedonto the business school’s Entrepreneurship MBA program. That is, the students in the course arenot just NEWPATH students; indeed, they are a minority, with the majority being MBA students.Assessing the commercial venture potential of emerging technologies can be a complex process. Toensure that students develop the necessary skills to perform such assessment, the lectures presentsuitable project management models and teams are expected to adopt one of these. Thus, in ad-dition to learning the commercialization

Currently in its sixth year, the program has had many successes and encounteredsubstantial obstacles and setbacks.

In this paper, we present some of the problems andissues associated with this multidisciplinary endeavor, involving engineering, the sciences andthe humanities.1. IntroductionThe 21st century has brought Americans a new awareness of anguish and discontent in lowerincome countries, and an emerging recognition of the need for U.S. participation to amelioratethis suffering. Attendant with these issues is the demand for enhanced security, safety, andequity for the disadvantaged. At the same time, engineering graduates shy away from politicallife, community service, and
light of theirprofessional goals (i.e., what I want). By studying these students’ experiences as case studies, amore in depth analysis of the complexities and dynamics of goal setting and monitoring wasexplored, leading to a deeper understanding of the processes. Through close inspection of thesenuanced dynamics, the potential to better inform and support students in this difficult and oftenvague process was established.9As these students’ experiences were studied, the following questions emerged: 1. What was the nature of these engineering students’ goals? 2. What was the process by which these goals evolve through portfolio construction?In the following sections we provide a brief overview of goal theory as it relates to

key to evaluating student understanding of coremechanical engineering concepts. This multi-step problem-solving method may be challengingfor LLM-based tools, as it requires them to first recognize a diagram and then connect visualinput with mechanical engineering conceptual information. The ability of emerging LLM-based tools to correctly reason with engineering problems,correctly apply concepts to real-world scenarios, and provide adequate justification to show thedecision processes behind their answers is an ongoing topic in engineering education. AlthoughAI tools have the potential to support teaching and learning for complex engineering concepts,they must be thoroughly evaluated on their capacity to correctly interpret and respond

There was a lot of wisdom in the group, and the faculty members shared the pros and cons of their teaching styles, which was useful information in developing the flipped classroom.” “During some of the meetings I had the chance to learn about some new technologies that were used by my peers in their classes. Although they were not directly related to my project, I gained new ideas and expanded my collection of potential tools for teaching. The atmosphere of the workshops was very supportive. We had ample time for genuine exchange of

Blendedlearning as a term emerged in 19993 and refers to the blending of "text-based asynchronousInternet technology with face-to-face learning,"4 where the primary role of ICT is tocomplement student learning as opposed to replace face-to-face time.5 One form of blendedlearning that is becoming increasingly common in tertiary science and engineering educationis the combined use of Flipped Classroom (FC) and Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT). FC refersto a teaching structure where students receive their first exposure to the subject material priorto class so that class time can be freed up to work with the material, which is the reverse orderto

Ahmadi et al., for example,compared formal and informal education strategies on doctoral students’ socialization and foundone of the most crucial factors was their interaction with experts in their disciplinary community[3]. Although studies such as Ahmadi’s help us to better understand novice-expert interactionswithin enculturation, much of the empirical research centers on graduate and internationalstudents as novices, despite the fact that there are other novices, such as undergraduates, whocomprise a significant portion of the emerging members of the discipline or profession.Additionally, much of the research focuses on the processes students go through to learn theconceptual knowledge, research processes, or writing norms of their

This process is expensive, and with constantly emerging technological areas, modules need to becontinually updated. We have created a framework, ExplaNet, that allows students to author course content for each otherin a guided assessment environment. ExplaNet can be seen as an extension to course discussion boards,which are frequently used to post and answer student questions with instructor moderation. In ExplaNet,the instructors post questions for students to solve, posting their explanations. Explanations can be sub-mitted in a variety of multi-media formats. If questions cover important
