At present, we offer a reflective assessment of the project with the goal of sharingstrategies and resources with fellow educators.This paper begins with an outline of the challenges associated with community engagementassignments and methods of implementing a socially just project. We then discuss our proposalproject, highlighting major milestones and deliverables. In the second half of this piece, wereflect on both the challenges and successes of the project, and conclude by summarizing ourplans for future improvement and offering advice to others who may want to develop

The e-portfolio can be viewed as a form of enhanced resume, carefullyassembled retrospectively from past experiences and accomplishments. Artifacts are curated to illustrate arange of skills or show a series of accomplishments.A different perspective is to view the e-portfolio as a developmental tool where planning and growth arethe focus. An e-portfolio becomes a proactive device when a student considers their anticipated growthduring a semester and seeks to identify artifacts that will illustrate their growth. A narrative about growthand failure, re-assessing and re-aligning, links together the events and artifacts into a cohesive whole.The student’s intention guides

information sources versus synthesizinginformation to define requirements impacted the quality of requirements as assessed bystakeholders. This suggests that an important aspect of developing requirements is reliance ondesigners to analyze and interpret information; in other words, requirements are more than justobjective facts that can be looked up. Second, they described “more advanced informationgathering and use behavior” and “more advanced design process knowledge” in one participant,which supported a greater focus on requirements in stakeholder interviews and narrowing of thedesign task through the requirement development process. This behavior reflects an importantelement of problem framing to restrict the design space in constructive ways

experiences and attrition are sensitive topics.As an example of how we navigated the sensitivity of this aspect: At the beginning, we planned toask dropout intention directly, but though pilot testing, we realized it was negatively influencingour participants. The question was revised to ask about dropout intention indirectly and in a mannerless likely to prime students for departure, asking the “positive” version of the question: “Today,I am confident I will complete my PhD.”Clarity of questions was iterated on through internal and external pilot testing. We elicitedfeedback from graduate students from a variety of backgrounds to make sure our questions weremeasuring what we wanted them to. In order to assess the clarity and the validity of these

and modulated depending on a given context or set of circumstances. In1980, Davis recognized the need for an instrument that “provides separate assessments ofcognitive, perspective-taking abilities as well as emotional reactivity” related to empathy [4, p. 5].Such a measure could allow researchers to explore the relationships and interdependence of the 1 http://legacstories.commultiple dimensions of empathy. Rather than measuring empathy as either cognitive oremotional, Davis developed and validated the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to measureempathy as a “set of constructs, related in that they all concern responsivity to others but are alsoclearly discriminable from each other” [5, p. 113].The IRI is a 28-item, self-report

In addition to these definitions, Csikszentmihalyi [8] explored a different approach basedon assessing the impact of work on a discipline, daily life, or the entire world or society,dividing creativity (or creative acts, practices, and thinking) into little-c and Big-C types ofcreativity. This classification of creativity was complemented by Kaufman and Beghetto [9]raising the concepts of mini-c and Pro-c. While little-c means a small innovation in daily lifeand Big-C reflects a major one that may significantly revolutionize society or the world,mini-c refers to “novel and personally meaningful interpretation of experiences, actions, andevents,” and Pro-c indicates a relatively impactful contribution to a professional field but

Assessing students in each of these scales can provide evenfurther insight into innovative self-efficacy’s impact on student goals.There is a gap in the literature regarding the inherent innovation benefits to teachers themselvesthrough the design and development of lesson plans for students. While it is common knowledgethat the best way to learn is to teach, this generally refers to improving understanding of specificmaterial as opposed to improving self-efficacy and competence in questioning, observing,experimenting, idea networking, and

was introduced by Shewhart [12] to frame theprocess of reducing variability in manufacturing. In short, an assignable cause of variability ispractical to understand and eliminate, while a chance cause is considered impractical to control.A process is thought to be due to chance cause alone if it exhibits sufficient statistical regularity;this is usually assessed using a control chart, shown schematically in Figure 2 [12], [13]. If noassignable causes are detected, then the process is provisionally said to be under statisticalcontrol and can be pragmatically modeled as a random process.Figure 2. An example control chart.

[4] used a LA Supported Student Outcomes(LASSO) online assessment tool to find broad trends in student outcomes with courses with LAsas instructional team members. They concluded that instructional teams, including LAs, areassociated with removing learning gaps between dominant and historically marginalizedstudents. However, their follow-up study [5], also using the LASSO tool, showed mixed resultson how collaborative learning impacted equity.Hernandez et al.

to a qualitative and highly interpretive research method that involves the creation ofrepresentative stories using data obtained from participants, usually in the form of interviews.Narrative analysis differs from other qualitative research methods in its indicators of quality as itdoes not seek to produce repeatable claims, because the goal is to capture participants’ stories.The strength of a narrative analysis resides in the process of narrative smoothing for which thereis limited specific guidance in the literature. Narrative smoothing refers to the process by which aresearcher discerns what elements of a participant's experience to use when crafting the narrative.This paper seeks to supplement existing frameworks for assessing quality

UNIVERSITIESEngineering education in developed countries is seen as a benchmark for all others. Itsteaching strategies, combined with assessing knowledge and the infrastructure of modernlaboratories and classrooms, allow students to develop their skills and prepare themselvesprofessionally for the job market. At the same time, engineering education is not valued inBrazil. Its teaching methodologies are traditional and directed towards a final concept. Withthis, essential skills for the job market are partially developed, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Electrical Engineeringprogram shifted emphasis in the capstone course used for assessment of the program using asystem engineering approach [5] [6] [8]. The move stresses going from extensive technical detailto the design and development process with a holistic and ‘big picture’ view of their project.To accomplish this, the two system engineering courses replaced two program managementcourses since program management concepts are also discussed in the system engineeringcourses. Also, many of the CoE students enrolled in the master’s program had programmanagement experience prefer to take system engineering courses since a number of the defensejobs in the local community were in high demand several years ago, as well as havingprogram/project
