teams of researchers. Forinstance, both participants were professional researchers collaborating as equals; we would liketo know how undergraduate or graduate students might engage in the poem-creation processwhen working on teams with more experienced researchers.Implications for researchAfter reading the participant generated I-poems above, we would ask you to reflect: What stoodout to you when reading the poems? What do you feel? What did you like or dislike about thepoems? In this paper we have made a case for using participant generated I-poems to supplementother forms of qualitative interview analysis and provided a guide to do so. Poetry can offer aunique window into human experience that may be missed by other forms of communication

Participation in both assessments was voluntary andopen to all UGTAs who attended GIDBEA training. The pre-training assessment for newUGTAs was previously published and can be found in Appendix A. In Fall 2022, we modifiedthe pre-survey questions for returning UGTAs to reflect on concepts they would like to reviewand assessed the impact that training has had on their behavior and overall climate of theprogram

However, the majority of these first efforts were confined to civil andenvironmental engineering departments instead of all engineering disciplines, with littlesystematic integration across institutions [11]. In 1993, the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) issued a policy on sustainability and then in 1996 amended its first Code of EthicsCanon to include

. Authentic learning occurs under the following conditions: 1)real world problems that mimic field work and presentations to audiences beyond the classroom;2) a focus on open-ended inquiry, thinking skills, and metacognition; 3) engagement in discourseand social learning within a community of learners/practitioners; and 4) empowerment throughindependent choices as related to the project. These principles of authentic learning form theframework for the Problem-based Learning (PBL) pedagogical model. Problem-based learning isa cognitive–apprentice style approach to educational practice that places learning in the contextof a complex real-world problem (Barrows, 1996; Collins et al., 1989; Kolodner et al., 2003).

thatincorporate coursework and/or peer mentorship should increase transfer student engagement andretention.Programs to introduce students to the research process and community do exist at public researchuniversities [13], but there currently is not a best-practices method established, or verifiedtransferable models, for getting large numbers of students (hundreds per year) into researchactivities, beyond one-on-one mentoring (of the sort referred to as “A Mentor for Every Student”in the Boyer report). This is not a viable solution to significantly increase our pipeline ofstudents entering STEM research careers. We do not mean to discount one-on-one mentoring andfeel that indeed, this is probably one of the most high-impact transformative learning

the National Academies, the IM STEM program identified spacesfor institutions to serve as the hub of inclusive mentoring, not only for academic spaces on campus, butspaces away from campus where students and recent graduates enter the engineering profession.RationaleAs the student population enrolled higher education institutions continues to diversify, a deepunderstanding and widespread adoption of inclusive mentoring practices that promote student success isneeded. The purpose of the IM STEM is to expand, elevate, and influence conversations about effectivementoring among communities of STEM faculty, graduate students, and government and industryprofessionals committed to developing a strong, diversified STEM workforce. The potential impact
, community concerns,and other topics can the students begin to see the wide ranging impacts of their decisions. Thesediscussions can also be fully integrated into design curriculum, providing students with a muchdeeper understanding of the probabilistic basis for load factors, the need for life-cycleassessments, and the construction and durability considerations that a designer needs to considerduring design, rather than envisioning structures as static in time.Scenarios such as these can be used to illustrate how personal and working relationships, site andcompany cultures, and personal experiences can influence ethical decisions. Ethical perceptionof each person in a scenario can vary depending on their individual experiences and
students in general, are provided with an educationwhere they are presented with all the information and studies on climate change; it will become afoundation that can be built on. In that case, misconceptions can be eliminated or, at the veryleast, minimized to prevent misinformation from continuing to spread.Additionally, the sources of information, such as social media and family/friends’ opinions, werefound to negatively impact the understanding of climate change compared to literature, courses,and information presented by scientists [13]. Compared to the older generation, young peopleoften consume all their news from social media, which shapes who they are, what they believe,and how they identify themselves. Introducing a climate change
process-rich project would emphasize the students working in groups, group dynamics, idea generation,setting out project tasks and deadlines, budgeting, reporting and communication, and mayculminate in presentation of results in a formal “live” presentation. In reality, the practicaldetails of the solution presented by a project team in this “process-rich” project are secondary tothe learning. Presumably, the marking scheme for the project would reward the design processmore than the design product. Whether or not the group has developed a really viable mail-boxdesign, or even the level of excellence of their drawing has little bearing on how much theylearned by working through the steps of the project

It draws on acombination of work in critical history and Science Technology and Society fields, and theauthor’s literature reviews of engineering education publications. While primarily relying onsecondary sources, it is in the combination of the accounts, the connection to present dayeducational cultural settings, and the communication to a specific audience of educationalstakeholders that comprises this work’s intellectual contribution.A prominent theme of the historical narrative is to suggest a reflexive relationship between thedemographic representation of the discipline and its cultural normativities. This interrelationshipsuggests ways in which

Thesharing of reciprocated learning on course topics were key to developing global acumen and setthe foundation for collaborative learning, in which two or more join together to learn [14].Collaborative learning specific to the course occurred through video calls focused on coursedesign, teaching, learning, assessment, and research. For example, while developing a cross-cultural communication module, both the faculty grew in cultural awareness. Specifically, theIndian faculty became aware of the “Indian headshake/wobble,” which she further researchedand confirmed she engages in. Awareness of distinct student expectations of teaching andlearning also occurred. This became critical in assisting the US faculty in

Additionally, it is recommended that instructorsoffer relevant calculation, simulation, and analytical tools as a supplementary material to helpstudents prepare students for a challenge of this magnitude.2.2 Development of Lab ModulesBased on the topics that are typically covered in the mechanics of material class acrossundergraduate engineering institutions we have identified six innovative lab modules. Of those 6lab modules, only one, Testing of Riveted Connections, is fully developed, and designed tointegrate theoretical, experimental, simulation, and design components to assess students’ criticalthinking and problem-solving skills.

Scholarspoint to a renewed sensitivity to changes that might have a short-term negative impact on studentexperiences [5], as students become increasingly redefined as “customers.” Others point to howemphasis on cost-efficiency and flexibility—akin to the corporate world—lead to an increasingreliance on adjunct faculty, grad students, and non-tenure track faculty for the functioning ofHEIs [3], [4].

Her work dwells into learning in informal
item scores and other test items relative to prior programming experience.Discussion The instructional design of the course should balance students’ effort and performance on themajor learning outcomes for the course. Learning a new programming language can be very challengingfor students who do not have a programming background. Although learning to engage in evidence baseddesign may be unfamiliar to students as well, and potentially just as difficult to learn and teach. Oneconcern the course designers had was introducing these challenging topics to novice engineering studentsbecause of the variance in prior background students have with programming and design. Figure 1 and 2illustrate that for the two years of analysis students were

To probe this missing piece of engineering11 practice, this research focuses on whether transportation engineering textbooks introduce12 students to the concept of induced travel. Based on a systematic review of seven textbooks,13 coverage of induced travel appears incomplete. Some textbooks omitted the idea entirely and14 those that did include it offered only partial coverage. Textbooks either defined the term,15 indicated its expected magnitude, used the concept in a problem set, or described the16 implications for practice and policy. However, no single textbook included all these essential17 elements. Beyond this, all textbooks placed a greater emphasis on
developmental models. The first centers on the requirement to better engage anincreasingly diverse learning community and the second is to develop better thinking skills. It isin the second area that a preponderance of research evidence suggests that universities fallwoefully short. On a 7 point reflective judgment scale1, students enter a university around level3.5 and matriculate with an average score of 3.8 - well below the theoretical optimum offered bybrain research and that level desired by industry.To address these concerns, the Industrial Engineering program at SDSM&T has embarked on along-term effort to reshape the existing curricular components by building developmentallyappropriate integrative threads throughout the undergraduate
