investigation [7], [28]. As a result, some authors continue to view onlineinstruction with suspicion [5], [29]. The primary criticism of virtual instruction is that it lacks thelevel of instructor-student interaction that occurs in-person [5], [29]. As a result, these criticsargue that online instruction should be provided synchronously, imitating in-person education asmuch as possible [5], [29]. Burns, Cunningham, and Foran-Mulcahy [24] disagree, however,arguing that carefully designed asynchronous education has the potential to be as effective assynchronous or in-person education. While synchronous instruction may be better equipped tofacilitate in-person interactions, with adequate planning, design, and unique pedagogicalapproaches, asynchronous

things she needed to do to excel. As she states, “When I started my job at AOC, I was nervous about the engineering work. This was my first exposure to such work and I had always believed I wasn’t smart enough to be an engineer due to my difficulty in math and science. However, I faced my fear, participated on every project team to which I was assigned, and eventually learned to read blueprints and plans allowing me to perform the work for which I was hired. Some people even said I couldn’t do it, that I would quit the job because I didn’t have an engineering background. I proved them all wrong.”As this statement indicates, Marjory explains that even though women are so often doubted inengineering, it

Not only will thisbe beneficial for the planning stages of the project, but this will help provide buy-in and buildrapport with participants. After forming the study team, the next task is to reach out to membersof the community to participate in the project.

engineering identities“must negotiate the roles they play within the community of engineering as a discipline, ingroups with their peers, and within the classroom.” Tonso [25] describes identity development as“a complicated process through which campus engineer identities (cultural knowledge learned oncampus) provided a lens of meaning through which to “recognize” (or not) performances ofengineer selves as engineers.” Particularly for women and students of color, engineering identitycan be very malleable and susceptible to change, with persistence and career plans able to be“strongly swayed” by even small interactions or experiences as undergraduates [29].Institutions themselves foster engineering identity development through displays of solidarity

Students hadacquired a sense of belonging and were more motivated to continue to be enrolled in engineeringcourses. One key aspect was that students were highly interested in conducting research which inturn they had already contacted some of the faculty members by the beginning of week one ofthe fall quarter. One student stated, “he allowed me to join his research even though I wasn'tofficially settled into school yet”. It appeared that their motivation level had seen an increasefrom when they initially attended the one-week program in comparison to their first week ofbeing enrolled at a four-year

EVT seeks to explain how individuals choosebehaviors based on their outcome expectations and the value they place on that outcome [30].Subjective task value can be broken into four dimensions: 1. Attainment Value: A task has attainment value if it provides a way to confirm or support an aspect of how one sees one’s self. 2. Interest Value: A task has interest value if an individual enjoys or expects to enjoy doing the task. 3. Utility Value: A task has utility value if it benefits future plans. 4. Cost Value: A task can also have perceived cost(s) associated with performing the task.While EVT is more commonly used to predict a subject’s behavior, for this paper, the STVconstruct of

Toovercome these issues, IUCEE was established with a vision to improve the quality and globalrelevance of engineering education in India [1].Research performance is a significant factor that is commonly used in comparing universities. Theconcept of research performance is defined in two parts: one is research (all faculty are expectedto engage in research) and the other is performance (which is evaluated based on the quality of thepublished work) The different parameters considered under research component are research skillsand techniques, research funding, research management

Widely recognized examples of multi-lateral science diplomacy – such as,the 1954 founding of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known asCERN), the 1959 signing of the Antarctic Treaty System, and the 1998 launch of theInternational Space Station – provide an insight into the three pillars of sciencediplomacy, namely: 1) scientists serving as diplomats (i.e., the Iran nuclear deal, formerlyknown as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action adopted in October

Traditionallytopics in a mechanics/biomechanics course are introduced using derivations with subsequentassignments using the results of these often non-intuitive mathematical procedures. However,few studies have looked at the use of hands-on activities to replace or supplement mathematicalderivations in an effort to connect physical concepts with mathematical equations. Therefore

and key to developing this type of student is to build a strongbasis in the core engineering disciplines while providing student opportunities to exercisecreative thinking.The balance between including creative opportunities and technical content within anengineering education is difficult to establish and perhaps even more difficult to achieve. Addingto this dilemma is the “safety based” culture that leaves little room for defects in new designs.Society expects engineers to plan for all contingencies and calculate the performance of anydesign with an associated factor of safety. This expectation leads many engineering curricula toconcentrate on depth over breadth.12 While problem based learning and other similar techniquesare excellent at

In an education system predicated upon white, U.S., continuinggeneration students’ cultural norms, this can place FGC and URM students at a disadvantage.For instance, studies have demonstrated that FGC students “are less likely to utilize or have moredifficulty in recognizing university support resources because they have little practice in doingso” ([15], p. 823). Similarly, FGC and URM FGC students are less likely to receive assistance orsupport from family in college and career planning [16], [17]. Thus, they often lack family-related social capital important for choosing engineering as a major/career, especially if theirfamily members are not engineers.
