Students completed two measures to assess belongingness: thePsychological Sense of School Membership Scale and a measure of perceived support frompeers [17], [18]. These measures allowed examination of perceived belongingness at two levels:belonging to the institution generally, as well as specifically among peers. Items for both schoolmembership and perceived peer support are measured on a 1-5 Likert scale. Items from thePsychological Sense of School Membership Scale and the perceived support from peers’measure can be found in appendices 1 and 2

The role of MEAM DEI Director is on a SEAS-wide committee of "DEI Liaisons" under C.J. so that all departments work together on SEAS-wide issues and to support each other, exchange ideas, etc. Current SEAS-wide plans we are formulating include: setting up new faculty training on DEI issues; setting up new support mechanisms for students; and creating feedback/incentive/assessment mechanisms for faculty on DEI issues. These are ongoing plans but concrete progress is being made.Results & Future PlansSome early results of the

The Notion of Roles in Various Teaching and Learning EnvironmentsOur study was inspired by the research literature on informal learning [15-17]. In their review,Rogoff and her colleagues identified informal learning with several characteristics including:“being interactive and embedded in meaningful activity”; “assessment occurs in support ofcontributing to the activity, not for external purposes”; and “involves building on individual’sinitiative, interest, and choice” [16]. Prior researchers have emphasized that informal learning isnot simply about or being limited to the location of learning activity (e.g., out of the school),instead it is concerned with

Sustainability philosophiesand life cycle analyses already challenge us to assess ‘true costs’ of technology.(4) Finally, there is a low sense of agency among some students. When they perceive adisagreement between their personal morality and the expectations of their employer, they believethey must conform to the latter. Instead of partaking in the deliberations at an organizational orpolicy level as valued experts, the instrumental view of engineers as ‘doers’ reinforces thediscouragement of critical thinking and

We will discuss how the UTDesign EPICS class has helped students

Given the above,it is necessary to explore alternative methodologies and built up methods that reinforce the softskills related to engineering, in order to achieve a high-quality education (Fernandez March 2005).These skills could improve the students’ involvement on learning, as well as their social and ethicalcommitment, enabling them to assess not only what is learned, but also the ability and learningskills (Ruiz 2011).

These studies have provided insight intowhy women either did not complete their engineering majors or did not go on to engineeringcareers.The need to assess the effect of faculty on the number of women graduates is highlighted by thefact that a review of the literature on women engineering students by Waychal et al. found onlynine articles out of 69 dealt with faculty and only three of the nine addressed stereotypes orculture.

The act of managing thesepedagogical factors in real time is also known as orchestration [5]. There is an ongoing need tosupport TAs in identifying groups’ progress and orchestrating collaborative interactions; thus, itis necessary to present TAs with actionable information and recommendations to help themnavigate groups who may need collaborative support. A relatively new practice that addressesthis need is the implementation of orchestration technology, which often uses real-time data tofacilitate teaching practices while considering various factors within the classroom. Researchers have developed orchestration tools that
