inareas such as social and ethical considerations of engineering design.Although investigating student epistemology is important, there is still an open question aboutthe kinds of epistemology prevalent in the engineering curriculum itself. It is challenging tocapture in a coherent way the broad multidisciplinary field of engineering. Engineeringknowledge has many elements including “innovation, critical thinking, systems thinking,biology, mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences, problem solving, design, analysis,judgment, and communication” which are referred to below as the 2006 agenda elements [2, p.260]. As this list indicates, engineers must approach designs in diverse ways includingtheoretical principles, models, design codes

More data is needed to seewhether these trends continue as we move further from the pandemic, and to perform morerigorous statistical analysis.Introduction and Background The COVID-19 pandemic has affected students at all levels in the United Stateseducational system. The rapid shift from in-person to online classes in the spring of 2020presented unprecedented challenges to faculty, staff, and students. Even when in-personinstruction resumed, classes were impacted by reduced class capacities due to social distancingand increased absences due to illness or quarantine. Innovative strategies were

minority lecturers, part-time, and other non-tenure track faculty in STEM higher education. Related to student learning and the practice of pedagogy, contingent faculty also facewhat might seem to be overwhelming challenges. Contingent faculty are less likely to interactwith students in innovative pedagogical ways [20], [21]. The ways in which these lesserinnovative teaching methods and practices manifest for the students includes but not limited toless interaction with students, less opportunities to engage in collaborative strategies, and lesstime for classes which could leave contingent faculty unprepared. These factors coupled with asense of not belonging for contingent faculty places said individuals on the periphery of any kindof
grading affected their anxiety levels in the course.ResultsClassroom Structures - Instructor ReflectionPrior to adopting labor-based grading techniques our grading methods were typical of those used in mostSTEM classrooms. Assignments, projects, quizzes and exams were graded using numerical pointsconverted to percentages and then combined in a weighted average. Innovation within this model waslimited to adjusting the weights of assigned work, updating rubrics or changing the kinds of workassigned. Instructors used a mix of exams, homeworks, projects, quizzes, labs, participation polls all withindividual focus in core courses. In elective courses, group projects were used without any accountabilityfor individuals and the projects were broken down

Several misuses (e.g. erroneoushyphenation, confusing neurodiversity as, itself, a perspective) only occurred once each and wererelatively straightforward, not warranting individual attention in this paper. With respect torecurrent misuses, consider the following excerpts: “One such type of neurodiversity shown to be associated with innovation and creativity is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).” [A5] “Within the context of this paper neurodiversity is more broadly defined as the neurological variations present in human populations...

pre- and posttest to assess where students are in terms of their moraldevelopment and to identify how innovative game-based educational practices could be used tobetter support all engineering students in the development of their ethical reasoning skills. Forexample, if at the start of their first year many students’ responses on the EERI indicate that theyare at the pre-conventional level of moral development, this may suggest that our engineeringstudents are primarily motivated by self-interest and external rewards and punishments [8]. Inthis case, an ethics education program may focus on helping students move beyond this stage anddevelop a greater concern for social norms and expectations. If students’ responses on the EERIindicate that
