Teaching & Beyond: A Case StudyAbstractThis research paper addresses the adaptations that instructors at colleges and universities aroundthe world made following the abrupt March 2020 transition from in-person teaching to remoteteaching. An in-depth understanding about how teaching instructors chose to adapt their courseswhen under duress to do so provides insight into how to support future change efforts. Thepurpose of this case study is to examine how one engineering faculty member responded to thechange in teaching format through a lens of adaptability.Data was collected from engineering instructors at an R1 institution via online surveys andinterviews across the Spring 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021 semesters. The interview data wascoded
]. Thisframework provided a generative way to understand how students’ identities were constructedover time and in context through their positioning by themselves and by others, structures, andnorms. This construction—through stories that one tells about oneself and to oneself—creates,constrains, or enables ways in which one may develop an identity as an engineer and experiencethe culture of engineering education.Narrative ConstructionOver the previous few years, narrative analysis has gained significant traction in engineeringeducation research spaces and has been used to gain a deeper understanding of the richexperiences we have in academia, industry, and beyond [35]. Narrative research is concernedwith keeping the individual embedded within the context

BT allows users to upload lecture notes through itswebsite interface and then given a list of topics, users will be able to auto-generate apersonalized e-textbook from the uploaded notes. The backend algorithm determines therelatedness metrics used to distill the database of notes using the provided
method to reach awide number of students, as well as to see how people exchange and build on each other’sideas through conversational exchanges in a group setting. Focus groups are useful foracquiring insight or gathering baseline information about a topic of interest from a group’sperspective, allowing multiple opinions and perspectives to be heard and debated rather thanindividual meaning-making [41].4.1 Institutional ContextThis exploratory investigation was conducted at the researchers’ university, a public R1Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), with over 50,000 undergraduate students. During thespring 2020 semester, the university moved to remote settings and was preparing to return toin-person instruction for a fall 2021 semester at the

. LAs have the authority to address student questions and concerns independently, and arealso empowered by the instructor to use instructional tools as the need arises.As active learning strategies and group sensemaking activities in specific become increasinglypopular, the LA model has been deployed and studied at an increasing rate[2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Researchon LA programs demonstrate that students in LA-supported courses often exhibit higher learninggains on validated instruments than their non-supported cohorts [7], and LAs themselves willexhibit similar conceptual learning gains in courses with similar content [8]. In some programs,LAs report a deeper sense of discipline-based identity [9]. LAs who go on to become K-12teachers tend to be more

Much of this institutionalknowledge is undocumented [9]. AR has been proven to play a promising role in the efficientarchiving and dissemination of knowledge in manufacturing firms and is a potential solution toissues created by inconsistencies in the availability and communication of institutionalknowledge [10].

2022 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Preparing K-12 Educators with a Holistic Reverse Engineering Approach to Exploring Planet Earth (Work in Progress) Dominic Halsmer, Chris Jacob, Josiah Kessler, and Jasmin Marko Oral Roberts UniversityAbstractEngineering and education students assist in the development of a virtual lab experiment to testhypotheses about the origin and nature of planet Earth. It takes the form of a retrodictive thoughtexperiment or reverse engineering project. The experiment is proposed for a general educationearth and space sciences lab course which is regularly taken by future K-12 educators. Thisproject satisfies
participation, motivation, and scaffold reflective and activelearning promptly. In addition, there needs to be a discussion on the extent to which theconceptual framework of professional development and its assessment needs to be constructedexternally (I.e., through a positivist lens) or varyingly by the participating individuals (I.e.,through an interpretivist lens). The engineering education community may therefore want tofurther explore the role of professional development training that transcends beyond graduationby considering how both curricular and co-curricular structures in engineering education can bemodified for learning based on students’ constraints, learning styles and needs.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to acknowledge the associate dean

Making, in attribution to its close interaction with materials and use of technologies,provide learning experiences where students can engage and apply science concepts firsthand inways that are not as immediately understood within a traditional lecture-based classroom. Inaddition, active engagement with STEM concepts through Making can aid in the development ofstudents’ own self-efficacy with STEM aligned concepts. While there has been recognition ofthese conferred benefits of Making towards STEM for K-12 education, supportive frameworkssuch as LittleBits 33 , Lego Mindstorms 34 make it difficult for

Thesecleaning tasks may include dusting newly installed wall shelves, clearing spider webs and saw dustoff the garage walls, wiping down power tools such as a chop saw, or miter saw, and scrapingdried materials off the floor such as paint or mud (Table 3).Standardization aims at establishing standard operating practices for the work area.

to insert the test specimen, which is at room temperature,through an existing hole in the side of the oven and begin recording expansion vs. time datausing the dial indicator and the stopwatch. It was soon determined that there was a problem withthis. The part begins warming up before the dial indicator can be positioned to take themeasurements. After a few failed attempts were made to account for this pre-warming of the testpart we came upon a novel approach to solve this problem. The part is inserted into a roomtemperature oven and the dial indicator is zeroed. The part is then removed and the oven isheated to the desired temperature. The part is inserted into the pre-heated oven, the dial indicatoris positioned and then an initial dial

At some point during the class, students have been told to get into groups of three or four and short question or problem is assigned to the groups. After a suitable period has elapsed teams are called to present the solutions. Calling on student than asking volunteers are essential to make sure all students are involved in the thinking process. • Analytical, critical and creative thinking is provoked. Students were asked to write a strategy to solution of a problem, or complete the solution of problem has been half worked by the instructor in the class, or asked to find alternative

The research question addressed in this work is: How do K-2 grade teachersperceive CT based on their experiences? Addressing this question can also allow us some insightinto ways that teachers’ understanding, and perceptions of CT connect with engineering.MethodsResearch DesignA descriptive qualitative study was employed [42] to investigate how teachers perceived CTbased on their experiences. Qualitative descriptive studies draw from the general tenets ofnaturalistic inquiry which allows investigations of a phenomenon in its

For example, student participation inthe development of engineering requirements through activities beyond internet research, liketalking with end users, testing prototypes, or conducting experiments, may be uncommon.Research has found that the lack of such opportunities can result in
