My academic training was in Physics and Philosophy before I turned to science (particularly physics) education research. More recently, I have started exploring engineering students’ entangled identities and epistemologies.Eric Kuo, Stanford UniversityDr. Ayush Gupta, University of Maryland, College Park Ayush Gupta is
member in the Department of Engineering Education [4], and I led oneworkshop section. The faculty member teamed with me for the lecture also served as my facultymentor during this teaching assignment. Approximately 70 students were enrolled in our lecturesection, and approximately 30 of these 70 students were in my workshop section. In this course,a variety of different topics in engineering were introduced weekly, with the exception of a five-week programming module. Since multiple instructors teaching the same material in separatelecture sections prepared common exams for the course, common notes were prepared for allinstructors to distribute material using Tablet PCs and DyKnowTM, software used as atechnological teaching tool.
