Paper ID #23250Equity in Collaboration: My Ideas Matter, Too! K-12 Students’ Negotiationof Social Status in Collaborative Engineering Teams (Fundamental Research)Mrs. Kayla R. Maxey, Purdue University, West Lafayette Kayla is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interest includes the influence of informal engineering learning experiences on diverse students’ attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of engineering, and the relationship between students’ interests and the practices and cultures of engineering. Her current work at the FACE lab is on teaching strategies for K

goal is partially described and understood through thispaper: the analysis of the impact of project participation on the graduate students.Graduate students were chosen to conduct the interviews with the engineering education pioneersfor multiple reasons. They would interview and author profiles of the pioneers, deriving adistinct set of immediate and long-term benefits, including learning about how these pioneerscontributed to transformation in engineering education and how their stories can inform andsupport the students’ development as future pioneers. Blended experiences such as this one,where the graduate students were able to engage in an engineering education research project andconnect with others in the field, can be very beneficial

Further, online resourcesare good enough that a lack of initialexperience in mobile development forinstructors and students is not a barrier tosuccess in the project.4.1 Domain DescriptionFixed-route bus systems exist in most urbanareas in more than 1,200 fixed-route bussystems in the United States ranging fromhundreds of bus routes to only one route [2].Prior to the introduction of mobile technology,fixed-route bus systems relied upon paperschedules in brochure or poster format to Figure 1.

studentpersistence and retention within engineering programs. Equity, diversity, inclusion, and access arestated areas of priority for post-secondary institutions (PSIs) in British Columbia (BC) with the goalto ensure that students of all backgrounds, identities, and demographics are provided an opportunityto thrive without compromise. However, there continues to be a lack of appropriate, desegregateddemographic data that can inform how well this goal is being achieved by engineering programs atpublic PSIs in BC.This paper describes the pilot study that was used to develop a survey instrument that intends to fillthis information void through a comprehensive, student-facing, and voluntary questionnaire that ismade available to engineering students in their
group of students every time. The original IDEOproposed model was meant for groups working on design projects to go through the next HCDstep immediately after the conclusion of the previous step. This is more challenging toimplement with existing university course logistics for typical engineering courses. Theselogistics can include variability in course offering, timeline of potential travel opportunity, andturnover of faculty and students. This modified structure is shown in Figure 1.

This software is normally offered for free. • Using the IM client software, the user logs into a central server. • The IM client provides the server with connection information and the names on the user’s contact list (often called a “buddy list”). • The server informs the IM client if any of the user’s contacts are also logged in and provides their connection information to the client. • The user can now send messages to any of the contacts who are on line. Because the IM client already has connection information for all of the user’s contacts, messages are

To develop an approach to this work, however, Iwas guided by the work of several scholars who explore factors that influence the retentionand/or persistence of Black STEM collegians (Berhane, 2017; Fries-Britt, George Mwangi, &Peralta, 2014; Maton & Hrabowski, 2004). These prior works adopt a success-orientedperspective in explicating the pathways of Black STEM undergraduates, and as such these worksexplore factors

support. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements ofthe design process by being involved in real design projects. There have even been formalproposals for curricular goals and assessment measures for design-based curricula. Thisargument is driven by a widespread notion that the intellectual content of design is consistentlyunderestimated [1].This paper reviews research on design thinking as it relates to how designers think, learn andmake decisions, which is an important reason why design is not easy to teach. Design thinkingis, in general terms, complex processes of inquiry and learning that designers perform in
andsocially just teaming practices. This inquiry-based learning opportunity provides a platform forparticipants to adapt evidence-based practices reported in the literature to the contexts presentedin our unit. Sub-groups have identified particular components of teaming instruction in which tofocus efforts, including, practices of team formation, teamwork assessment, knowledge andknowing supporting socially-just teaming practice, and conflict management and teamworktrouble-shooting. Progress along each of these initiatives is discussed during meetings of thePLC, with focused interventions emerging for coursework situated in the first and fourth years ofour programs. A faculty sub-group is developing curricula for orientation courses that

offered.Introduction As engineering educators become increasingly aware of the demand for a diverseengineering workforce of the future, retention issues plaguing the field have drawn addedattention. Focus has therefore been placed on the choices, achievement, and interests ofundergraduate engineering students. Researchers have suggested that students’ choices to pursueand persist in engineering, and their achievement and interest in the field, are significantlyinfluenced by their engineering self-efficacy beliefs – their confidence in their abilities toperform the tasks that they deem necessary to succeed in the field.1, 2 The richness of the literature surrounding the assessment of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM

equity, understanding the role of formal education, post-graduationtraining, and informal learning environments is essential for fostering more responsible andequitable engineering practices.Literature ReviewEthics and Equity in Engineering EducationEngineering education must shift from a traditional focus on technical and analytical expertise toincorporating nontechnical skills that emphasize human-centered aspects, enabling students toaddress societal and human dimensions effectively (Fila et al., 2014). This shift reflects anincreasing recognition of equity as a fundamental component of engineering education,representing progressive development in the field (Diduch et al., 2012).

As a discipline, human factors engineering is a combination of engineering, psychology, kinesiology and anthropology. The field of cognitive ergonomics strives to understand how humans process and manipulate information so that their limitations and capabilities can be taken into account when designing effective tasks, interfaces, and systems.Kimia Moozeh, University of Toronto Kimia Moozeh (PhD) is the Program and Student Experience, Senior Officer at University of Toronto, Division of Engineering Science.Prof. Grant McSorley, University of Prince

artifacts. The findings revealed that while the teacher employed various discursivestrategies—such as scaffolding, questioning, and providing scientific knowledge—there weremissed opportunities to elicit student reasoning and address critical conceptual challenges.Notably, the teacher’s guidance did not always align with students’ emerging needs, limitingtheir ability to refine their designs. These findings highlight the need for professionaldevelopment focused on responsive teaching strategies that foster deeper student engagement inengineering practices. This study contributes to the growing discourse on STEM education byidentifying key pedagogical moves that can influence students’ engagement with epistemicpractices of engineering during
