new material contextually, byattaching it to previous experiences and existing knowledge [3]. Rigid body kinematics is anexcellent subject to draw upon prior knowledge and experiences, as many of these systems areprevalent in the real world. Alternative approaches applied by other researchers teaching the subject have involvedthe separation of rigid body motion from the mathematics. In their approach, students observedpractical applications of rigid body kinematics through videos, pictures, and the actual operationof some machinery [1]. The goal of this approach was to provide students with the opportunity todevelop motivations for studying the subject and to later recognize the mechanisms of systemoperations. Other approaches used

Studentsalso mentioned enjoying contributing to the community and better understanding links betweenengineering and society or the community. A few representative responses from studentsspeaking to these points are copied below. “Being able to participate in a project where actual real world application is requiredadds a lot of experience in

these activities are thought to include the construction of arguments,language, and use of social and communication networks. Thus, students can look at a real issue,analyze alternatives, carry out supplementary research and develop recommendations fordifferent stake-holders in this case: company management, shareholders and employees seekingpathways to change from within.MotivationLeydens and Lucena (2017) have described the “socio-technical” constructs of engineeringconcepts, models and systems, noting that social justice dimensions related to implementationand creation are often invisible or are considered separately in engineering courses. As socialjustice rhetoric and actions are not often integrated into engineering courses, there are

yield incompleteconclusions about social networks. To wholly capture student support networks, studies shouldinclude face-to-face interaction types and extend beyond single classrooms. However, efforts tocapture these wholistic networks introduce a complexity associated with collecting andprocessing large network data: entity resolution, or the process of assigning ambiguous reportedreferences to real world individuals. Current work involving entity resolution for educational network analysis is sparse,limiting educational research on student support networks. To combat this issue, this paperpresents our work-in-progress developing and implementing methods for disambiguating largescale (1000+ students) network data. The final

request anonymous feedback on the course at the end of each quarter to provide an alternate forum for their voice to be heard.c) In addition to teamwork and communication, we also embed diversity content in the curriculum. A highlight of the year is when we invite guest speakers to talk about their experiences as women in the engineering workplace. Hearing about how women have been and continue to be treated as engineers is an eye-opening discussion for the students. We also include practical applications for the students. For example, we discuss what they should do if they see someone disrespecting someone from an underrepresented group in the workplace. Another major theme in the course is ethics, where we study ethical dilemmas

interpretation. Contrary tomultiple choice problems, where a student chooses from several given answers, solving textbookstyle questions, with a clear and replicable solution requires a thorough understanding of thecontent. Multiple choice problems generally do not accurately assess the student’s understandingof the content, as the student may have done the majority of the question correctly, but made anerror in their final calculation, which would be given a mark of 0. Multiple-choice problems canalso be randomly answered, giving a chance of getting the mark, without actually knowing thecontent. Textbook style questions come closest to typical real-world problems, and are thosemost often encountered on exams. The questions are more open-ended with the
