Through professional and peerpresentations, group readings and discussions, workshops and expert panels, we providededucational programing on the three tenets of Self-Advocacy. These were ”Leadership in STEM”by invited speakers Drs. Denise Simmons and Kyle Gipson, in addition to a book club discussionon self-awareness and social justice on the book “Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEMEducation Stifles Innovation” by Dr. Ebony Omotola McGee. Self-awareness included theworkshop by the wellness center on “Solutions to the Top Ten Self-care Challenges” by thedirector of the wellness center, Ms. , with an emphasis on self-care for health and well-being.There was a final spring
calculating Cronbach’s alpha and found to be acceptable, based on data from 277 participantsof 7 different CoPs in a large multinational corporation. However, there is no discussion of thevalidity of the test, and some sections are unrelated to CoP theory (e.g., information andcommunication technology). In terms of collaboration, prior research has established that highly diverse CoPs have thebest and most innovative performance when members feel psychologically safe. Edmondson(1999) developed the Team Learning and Psychological Safety Survey. The survey’s validityand reliability were established through Cronbach’s alpha and factor analyses; the paperpresenting the survey has been cited over 10,000 times. Considering the lack of

Paper ID #38325Exploring how Students Grapple with Agency in Open-Ended EngineeringProblemsDr. Corey T. Schimpf, University at Buffalo, SUNY Corey Schimpf is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. His lab focuses on engineering design, advancing research methods, and technology innovations to support learning in complex domains. Major research strands include: (1) analyzing how expertise develops in engineering design across the continuum from novice pre-college students to prac- ticing engineers, (2) advancing engineering design research by integrating new
curriculum engineering courses [9]. Understanding the technologies and hands-onpractice become critical for a successful career in manufacturing engineering. Therefore, educationcurriculum needs to be formed to prepare students to meet the challenges of advanced intelligentmanufacturing industries [10]. In this paper, an innovative empirical methodology based on i4.0technologies has been developed to be used to create sustainable procedures to the interoperationsof manufacturing systems. Implementing IIoT and digital cloud to the curriculum to provide real-time detection of unplanned behavior, fast correction response, and system data documentation forthe analysis will help in understanding manufacturing operations. The methodology is to build
-student relationships(Guzzardo et al., 2021) and by creating community to augment educational innovation (Cross etal., 2021; Mestre et al., 2019). Furthermore, it was clear that it was not enough to acquire capitalbut to also share it, even if what they know or have acquired is little. In other words, they seethemselves as a bridge by which capital can be shared (Villanueva Alarcón, Sellers, Paul, &Smith, 2023; Yosso, 2005) rather than seek to keep it (Villanueva Alarcón et al., 2023).Out of the four forms of capital mentioned, perhaps familial capital carried the most weight. Forthese five Latiné/x engineering faculties, it was essential that they extended a sense of ‘familia’to their students. While not much is understood on the reasons
they seemed more motivated to spend more time and effort in exampreparation, enhancing their learning.Overall, the automated grading was well received by the students, and it will definitely reducethe faculty's effort in teaching the same course in the future. At present, the detailed workstudents presented for partial credit are reviewed manually by the instructors. In the long run, theauthors would like to seek a semi-automated process of gathering and grading the detailed workto support the partial credit mechanism in exams.References[1] M. L. Arora, Y. J.

many different options for gathering energy from rotatingchairs, we believe that our solution addresses the problem the best due to its versatility and convenience.Our design is an innovative way to harness a new source of renewable energy.IntroductionThe global climate crisis very clearly displays the need for new sources of renewable energy. As denizensof this earth, it is necessary for us to find these sources. In the United States, only one sixth of energy needsare covered by renewable sources [1]. This draws our attention towards unique solutions. There arecountless actions that we perform each day, some even mindlessly, that could be used to create usableenergy.After we realized that chair rotation is one of the aforementioned energy

Moreover, a program that fosters such interactions during orientationprovides educators the opportunity to explore student identities and goals beyond just that ofstudent-professional, which dominates classroom contexts. These interactions equip educatorswith the personal contact needed to help students identify involvement opportunities thatmaximize students’ identity coherence and success goals. Involvement plays a critical role infostering student success, and faculty may well hold the key to unlocking its potential in newways. Innovative

Conclusions and Future RecommendationsThis paper shows that civil engineering students in a first-year course are able and willing toengage in reflective journaling on personal goals. Students identified three goals after the secondweek of classes, and three emergent themes for student goals are present. The themes are todiscover what engineering is, interact with and learn from others in the course, and develop oneor more hard or soft skills. The prominence of these themes is evidence that course expectations,established in the first two weeks, influenced how and what goals were selected.
