Whose voices do we lose when we arerestricted to normative discourse in our data collection instruments? Whose voices are raised in anger ordisbelief when we nevertheless dare to invite participants to examine the water in which they swim? Ourpaper examines these issues by documenting what happened when we introduced the socially theorizedconcept “culture” in our national engineering career path survey: “I’m not sure what you mean about engineering culture. To me it is a culture of checking and rechecking and making sure things are right. That isn't

Future work will involve exploring whether students’ problem solving performance willbe improved by enhancing their spatial thinking abilities or understanding of key concepts inmechanics. In addition, we are planning on extending this research to other areas of application,such as engineering design or other disciplines and recruiting participants at various levels ofacademia (i.e. graduate students, instructors, and faculty members) to examine the impact ofexperience/expertise. Although eye-trackers are becoming more accessible and affordable, theyare not widely used and it requires trained personnel to manage every stage of the study. Inaddition

Modality with Adaptive Learning (2016-2019)Flipped classrooms face student resistance, especially regarding pre-class learning. Poor pre-class preparation then impacts student engagement in the classroom, which is crucial to thesuccess of a flipped classroom. We wished to address this concern by using adaptive learning forpre-class learning. As an exploratory project, adaptive lessons were developed for half of theeight topics of the course. The lessons were designed on the adaptive learning platform (ALP) © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Southeastern Section Conferencecalled Smart Sparrow [23].

Identity is used to refer to the waysthat students view themselves as being recognized by others. These similarly named frameworksboth grapple with issues of identity but take different approaches and operate at different levelsof analysis.
