entity resolution than matching a first name only with resolved name based onsimilar sub-networks (stage four). Beyond the manual framework, every stage exhibitspossibility for automation. To date, we successfully automated in Stage 1. Our efforts are nowguided toward accurately automating Stages 2 through 4, which is made possible by metaphone,Levenshtein distance, and hierarchical clustering. Continuing to refine and develop disambiguation methods will be vital for allowingSocial Network Analysis to extend to more wholistic student networks, identified through moreholistic interaction data and open-ended name generators. Conclusions drawn from such studieswill enable educators to obtain accurate data regarding networking of students and

also be compared to other factors within ideation to gain a greater understanding of howintergroup interactions affect various aspects of engineering design. With this, educators will beable to better support both creativity and equity within their classrooms and promote effectivedesign skills through student interactions.Introduction and BackgroundBrainstorming is a critical component of engineering design activities, and its outcomes often havesignificant influence on the solutions engineers ultimately converge on. As a result, there issubstantial interest in engineering education and design communities to better understand theprocesses involved in brainstorming, the outcomes it produces, and the ways different approachesor techniques might

participate in research. The first is through the NSERC Undergraduate StudentResearch Award (USRA) program. The department received eight total NSERC USRA positionsin 2018, and six were filled with students from our department. In our department, selection intothis program is primarily based on GPA. The second is through co‐op positions with researchfaculty in the department. This requires individual faculty to fund the student’s entire salary.There were two further Mech students hired via this avenue in 2018. Finally, students can enrollin a one or two term upper-year credit course where they complete a research project under afaculty member (students are not paid). Enrollments in this course tend to be low: fourteenstudents in 2018, three in 2017

educationinstitutions have an obligation to reform the engineering curricula to prepare engineers capableof advancing society through their engineering practice and outreach.Reframing engineering as a sociotechnical field is one of the reforms suggested and emphasizedby many engineering scholars and activists [4]. In traditional engineering education, the studentsare required to take social sciences and humanities courses to fulfill the requirements for theirengineering degree. However, those courses are typically offered by distinct disciplinarydomains that are separate from the technical engineering programs. This educational modelmakes the students responsible for integrating the social and technical contents on their own [5].In most cases, students fail to

Protest activity generatedfrom high tech workers, (testers, engineers, coders, etc.) working for large companies, or bywhite collar employees in general have been relatively infrequent and are a recent phenomenon.This type of case additionally moves beyond ethical situations that involve single explosive andcatastrophic events that trace back through company bureaucratic hierarchies to situations thatexpose students to the systemic forces that they as engineers participate in and embed theiridentities.Examining the Amazon case, regardless of eventual outcomes is an instructive means to informand engage students about their role in society and professional responsibilities to theirorganization. As a final note on the possibilities

These roles have provided a keen appre- ciation for the cross-disciplinary aspects of an engineering career in today’s global environment, includ- ing such things as business acumen, cultural sensitivity, communications, ethics, logistics, manufacturing and technology infrastructure. James’ doctoral research involved understanding the unique challenges of First-Generation Students and designing systems and pedagogy to remove unintentional barriers. James resides in Seattle with his wife and their daughters. James is a Certified Flight Instructor, and in his free time trains pilots through the Boeing Employee Flying Association at Renton Municipal
