The success of these examples was the alignment, clear communication andconcern for the interests of all stakeholders (faculty, students, administration). Each participantbenefitted from the others without paying a substantial cost (in terms of space or time). Thegeneral structure for finding synergies rests on faculty being able to transfer experiments fromthe lab to the classroom or extracurricular spaces, share equipment from across these spaces, andbring educational activities into labs and makerspaces (Figure 2).These experiences revealed that students must be engaged in a transparent way and that

Teaching students to designwith communities and not for communities is dependent upon the context of the design process.This paper addresses the pedagogy of social engineering in the capstone design projects rooted inthe framing of the design process for collaborative creativity.The programs that enact multidisciplinary curriculums are exemplar in satisfying the ABET a-kguidelines. Institutions of higher education that additionally use multi-year projects and employdesign progression though the undergraduate curriculum have more success in generatingprojects that have lasting effects on the communities. Due to the long-term commitment of thestudents to a specific project or community, there is greater

For thepurposes of this paper, we refer to only six works [3-8] that substantially either reference theenormity of literature on why engineers need such skills or they present cited contributions to theunderstanding of the needs for engineering students to learn to work with other disciplines inbusiness environments. While there are dozens of other relevant works, these works [3-8] wereused, along with input of alumni, as the basis for the justification for the launch of this program.Additionally, there are a number of published works describing methods of

In this study, we focused onengineering because it has been a field characterized by particularly ethnocentric knowledge andprocedures. We propose that Latinx adolescents are both creators and holders of knowledge, andthat this knowledge impacts their engineering practices. We analyzed how Latinx adolescents arein constant space of Nepantla that allows for a deeper examination of their families,communities, and forms of oppression. As a result, Latinx adolescents bring forth unique waysof knowing, doing and being that provide them with unique ways of

approach is to demand more engagement from the students [2]. This method is shown tobe effective as seen in prior literature [2-6]. However, it is observed that while students are morecollaborative in such dynamic learning environments, they still tend to align themselves to theviews of their team, and eventually, the direction of the course is defined by the instructor. So,while the active learning approach does bring the team along in the process of learning, there aresome aspects that still need to be addressed. One such aspect is the students’ engagement in termsof communicating their doubts and confusions. Typically, students show their original work viaassignments, quizzes, projects, and tests. However, the timeline for such activities is
positive. The primary purpose of creating this systemwas to make the work more intriguing, engaging and exciting, focusing on the primary researchachievement, which was to evaluate the perception of the students of the system. In general, surveyresults indicated that the students considered the system useful and simplistic. However, carefulanalysis of user feedback showed that the gamified mechanics did not have much impact onstudents’ experience of fun and engagement. Although, it was probably due to the circumstancesin which students had to study (studying for the final exam and not for fun).Dominguez et al.

educational engines – and by doing so,show these young people that they believe in their abilities. None of what we have accomplishedis a difficult stretch. None of it has required much, in terms of resources. All that we really haveneeded, was to listen – really listen – to young learners’ voices and opinions on how to betterexplain difficult concepts in engineering and thus advocate for STEM. Once we ‘got’ that part,the rest was easy.It is hoped that this work will be of value to fellow engineering professionals, minorityengineering networks, as well as administrators and students, as we introspect, reflect, anddesign content to engage communities we live in to help better prepare children for careers inengineering.AcknowledgmentsAll in progress
that junior researchers who want to gain employmentmust publish in top journals. Given the perception of many of the researchers (and others in thefield) that the quality of open access venues is low or mixed, these are not currently consideredgood or respected journals. For example, one researcher discussed the impact on graduate students,“[W]hen you have graduate students at such a high-level at a university, and they want to go outand get jobs at other high-level universities, you are [going to] have to be published in the journalsthat everybody respects in that field. So you can’t really take a student and say well let’s publishthis one in the open access journal because it is open access.”In a field where the top journals are not open
: Assessing the Impactof Writing as a Multi-Function Design Tool, outlines a two-year project to developmethods of assessing the effectiveness of engineering students’ use of writing as a designpractice. Engineering educators have long recognized the importance of effective writtencommunication skills, and many programs have incorporated an emphasis on writtencommunication within their curriculums. Indeed, the ABET 2000 criteria not onlyemphasized writing skills but also specifically located responsibility for writinginstruction within the engineering program itself: Competence in written communication in the English language is essential for the engineering graduate. Although specific coursework requirements serve as a foundation for such
faculty, the students’ interest and the learning andknowledge retention processes. The authors would like to argue that actual learning occurs in thisstage, the disparity in the intended communication and student’s acquisition. This is oftenconsidered as a flaw on the student’s end in receiving what the instructors conveyed. However, itis a value to their learning and growth. The real learning occurs when students can engage ‘whothey are’ with ‘what they learn’ [7 - 9].To assess the student’s actual learning, in this work, an assessment of the disparity betweenintention and retention is performed via review of reflections in an inquiry-based course. Thestudents are initially provided with a traditional lecture and associated lecture notes and are

conceptualizingand operationalizing “Servingness,” which encompasses the policies and practices aimed atpositioning institutions to reflect and act in their role to ensure representation and engagement ofthe Latin* community (Garcia, 2020; Garcia et al., 2019; Garcia & Cuellar, 2023; Garcia &Koren, 2020).Perhaps as an unintended side effect of their undergraduate-centered definition, current researchon how policies and practices at HSIs impact Latin* student success predominantly focuses onundergraduate students. As a result, little is known about how servingness impacts theexperiences of engineering graduate students and how institutional policies and practices may beaiding or barricading their path to success.

issues and proposedattributes for successful engineers of 2020, these attributes and issues may almost alwaysbe couched within the following pedagogical concerns: There is a need to construct engineering curriculum so as to serve more diverse learners. There is a need to help students develop better complex thinking skills. There is a need to provide learning environments that more actively engage students on multi-disciplinary team projects. There is a need to create an opportunity for value added curriculum, particularly in the areas business, management, and leadership skills.To do this is going to require more active and engaged pedagogies that usually providesome opportunity for experiential
discussion assignments that facilitate meaningful group coherency. Discussions should be focused on a task, and each task should result in a product or measurable outcome, and tasks should engage learners in content. 3. - Students should present course projects. Students learn from seeing and discussing peer’s work. 4. - Instructors need to provide two types of feedback, frequently and continuously. 5. - Online courses need deadlines and intermediate deadlines to maintain progress. 6. - Challenging tasks, sample cases and praise for quality work communicate high expectations

Furthermore, even if students gain new ideas from their peers’presentations, these insights cannot be capitalized on because sharing these examples culminatesthe project and the class moves on from the design project. Instead, our project is developing, refining, and testing a protocol in which studentsevaluate prior work to prime them for learning while designing, through what we call Learningby Evaluating (LbE) [1], [2]. This approach introduces two important changes to the currentlypracticed paradigm: 1) actively engaging students—in addition to the teacher—in the critiqueand evaluation process; and 2) performing this evaluation of example work prior to embarkingon a design task, as opposed to review at the end.

In addition toinventing the tagmemic grid, Pike is credited with originating the terms “emic” and etic” todescribe language from both “insider” and “outsider” perspectives. These terms remain wellknown today in social science fields like anthropology, sociology, and psychology.An “etic” model is based on an “outside” perspective, taking a scientific approach that disregardsculture-specific data and instead seeks universal characteristics
