online course structure emerged as most important for Latinx and URM students? How could these inform the development of a framework for STEM culturally responsive teaching in the online environment?The study addresses the gap in the research between what HSI instructors hope collectivisticassignments in STEM accomplish and how diverse groups of STEM students perceive andexperience planned routines and structures to sustain their engagement in learning and combatindividualistic culture defaults in the online learning space. In addition, by studying theresponses and achievement of students by ethnicity, race, and other demographic information,this pilot project will contribute to our increased understanding of culturally
existing role identities to inform the development of new ones, and that successfuloutcomes tend to emerge when individual show a willingness to integrate rather than isolate theirexisting with their new roles. They have also shown that even a relatively short intervention ofdays rather than weeks can be influential in role identity development (ref). Given thisframework we felt that the DSMRI had the potential to offer insights into the ways in whichundergraduate engineering students apply themselves to creating an ambassadorial role thatrequires the temporary suspension (but not removal) of their role as an undergraduateengineering student and an emphasis on two action possibilities—giving a talk and facilitating ahands-on activity.

To understand customers’ needs can include understandingtheir goals, specific requirements, their criteria for a project, and problems that need tobe solved. In terms of understanding customers’ needs, Ishmael, having worked ininformation technology for ten years, pointed out that
engineering codes ofethics (NSPE, IEEE, and SHPE) to identify the virtues of engineering practice. This preliminaryinvestigation by four raters (three engineers and one philosopher) revealed six prominent virtues- Responsibility, Integrity, Honesty, Trustworthiness, Teamwork, and Fairness. As anopportunity for future work, we believe there are missing virtues (e.g., Bravery, Leadership,Curiosity, Creativity, Perseverance, Hope, Love of Learning) that should be made more visibleto the practice of engineering and thus engineering code of ethics. Identifying the virtues ofengineering practice can inform engineering ethics education and broaden the ethics perspectiveby introducing virtues and virtue ethics to the education of future engineers. A virtue

Additionally, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) currently requires the evaluation of student outcomes that rely on the higher levels ofBloom’s taxonomy [5]. In a traditional classroom environment, students are typically introduced to coursecontent using methods associated with the lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as the instructorstates, repeats, describes, and/or discusses factual and conceptual information in person.Consistent student feedback indicates

Theunderlying goal of analyzing this subset of cases is to yield new insights into how some facultyengage in mentorship activities with other faculty. Two research questions guide this inquiry: 1. What are the mentoring perceptions, experiences, and behaviors of engineering faculty who hold discrepant views of mentorship? 2. How can this knowledge inform changes to faculty mentorship programs?Background and MotivationEffective mentorship varies from situation to situation and person to person. Common attributesof mentorship identified across the literature include a relationship that 1) has a dynamic impactover time and 2) functions as a

Inrecent years, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have emerged as promisingmethods to incorporate 3D visualization in the classroom [5]. This visualization can helpstudents learn the material permanently and improve their creativity [6]. The rapid advancementof new technologies—combined with the exponential increase in the computation power ofpersonal computers and devices—has presented our education system with a unique opportunityto incorporate such creative educational methods on a broad scale, which was out-of-reach lessthan a decade ago.Experiences such as AR/VR have significant potential to

A mixed-methods approach to research wasapplied to gather comprehensive and valid information about students’ SRL strategies. Theobjectives of this preliminary study were to investigate high school students' design activitiesthat reflect their understanding of task demand and SRL strategies to accomplish the design taskfrom the perspective of design performance (i.e., high- and low- performing students) andgender. A better understanding of these issues will specifically benefit technology and pre-engineering educators as well as the high school curriculum developer.Students at a high school in Colorado participated in this preliminary study (n = 29); 22
