, meaning that students did not organize or connectconcepts in a functional way. For example, student A’s pre-concept map uses topics that werediscussed during the first-class meeting (response to disaster, resiliency, preparation, etc.) toorganize their knowledge, while student G uses more fixed categories (actions, organizations,stakeholders, etc.) to organize their map. Examples of pre- and post- concept maps for studentsA, C, G, and J are given in Appendix A.Students varied in their growth from the pre- to post-concept map. Figure 1 shows the pre- andpost-concept map scores by student. Some students, like G and H, show no growth based on thescoring system. Other students, like B and C, whose pre-concept maps were already towards thetop of the

They found that although students seem toget excited for working on public-welfare-related work, they also seemed to resist it. Niles etal. found that the challenges that often lead to students’ resistance to public welfare issues arethe following: “(a) defining and defending students' identities as engineers; (b) justifying thevalue of nontechnical work and relevance to engineering; (c) redefining engineering expertiseand

Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Successes and challenges in supporting undergraduate peer educators to notice and respond to equity considerations within design teamsAbstractWe describe and analyze our efforts to support Learning Assistants (LAs)—undergraduate peereducators who simultaneously take a 3-credit pedagogy course—in fostering equitable teamdynamics and collaboration within a project-based engineering design course. Tonso andothers have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those amongstudents within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broadercultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;McLoughlin, 2005).
