Proponents of this Current focus on citizenship at both the local andglobal level, and use strategies like community projects, debates and action plans that actuallyencourage students to stand up for what is just. Educators may have concerns about exposingtheir ideology and political leanings in the classroom, creating some tension with respect to thisCurrent.STSE-Relevant Practices in Engineering educationIn reflecting on the nature of STSE as described above, and considering the integration withengineering, we might start with exploring the nature of the engineering profession, and how thattranslates to the engineering education context. In a critique of engineering education, Pawley(2019) suggested that engineering

It becomes apparentthat at every step of the way, relationships play an important role in this students’ desire andability to weld. From early relationships that nurtured her desire to build, to currentrelationships that keep her moving forward, and future relationships she plans to develop as sheshares her vision with me for a welding club for women, her connections to others is significantto her learning. This is a highly-motivated, engaged student who feels a strong sense ofbelonging in the engineering spaces, and the more she shares, the more it appears relatedness isrelevant to the motivation she feels.Conversations and observations like this one

The instructor may also play a vital role as a66 mediator for conflicts within the group and is ultimately responsible for structuring the course from67 start to finish, which includes deciding how to form groups, planning the goals of the assignment,68 and tracking the growth of learning throughout the semester. During the life cycle of a project,69 groups will inevitably experience problems at the design, operations, and output stages and will70 need proper guidance by the instructor5.

Future iterations of this project do plan to incorporate a largersample population from other institutions to account for this limitation.In the reflection survey in phase 2, two criteria—leadership and relationships—were accidentallycombined into a single criterion called “personal relationships”, which is inconsistent with theconceptual framework. This only had an impact on third column of the student’s GAP Profilesand subsequently had limited impacts on the results shared as part of this study whereby themajority of discussion associated with the GAP Profile was focused upon

During the analysis phase, additionalresearchers were involved as described further below.All audio recordings of the interviews were transcribed and confirmed by another researcher.Then, the first author read each transcript as a whole over multiple iterations. Direct quotesrelevant to the RQ were identified, highlighted, and tentative themes were interpreted andextracted over each round. Next, an independent researcher reviewed a transcript rich in themediversity to confirm existent labels and to suggest additional ones that may be relevant.We employed the pool of meanings
Paper ID #30371 Carlos Santos is a first year graduate student at the Wake Forest University Department of Psychology. His research includes longitudinal measurement validity and developing personalized user-interface data tools.Dr. Michael D. Gross, Wake Forest University Dr. Michael Gross is a Founding Faculty and Associate Professor of Engineering at Wake Forest Uni- versity and is part of the team that is planning, developing, and delivering the brand new Engineering program. The Engineering department is viewed as an opportunity to break down silos across campus and creatively think about reimagining the undergraduate engineering educational experience, integra- tion and collaboration across departments and
direct instruction to be more effectivethan learner-centered practices4. With this in mind, new faculty in particular should be concerned Page 26.1727.2about these student perceptions and preferences – they will drive important factors such asmotivation and willingness to work hard for an unknown professor5,6.One of the first (and daunting) tasks of a new educator is the planning of a course. It is temptingto sit down and create one’s syllabus in a linear manner, only considering the content at hand andthe calendar of the term. However, to have a truly successful course, the educator shouldapproach this task as a design task – one is designing

For any value of a the origin is an equilibrium point. Itseigenvalue is equal to a, so it is stable for a < 0 and unstable for a > 0. For a > 0 there aretwo equilibrium points at ±√a. Both these equilibrium points have eigenvalue −2a so theequilibrium points are stable. A bifurcation occurs at a = 0 since at this value, theequilibrium point at the origin changes its stability type and two new equilibrium pointsare created. Hence it is called a

Of the 5 returning GTAs, 3were familiar with the Paper Plan Challenge MEA from its Fall 2006 implementation in which adifferent rubric was applied5. One of these three returning GTAs also had experience with thisMEA from the Spring 2008 implementation in which a rubric similar to the MEA Rubric wasused.An Expert independently assessed Fall 2008 student team MEA solutions. The Expert was adoctoral student in Engineering Education with 7 years of teaching experience in the first-yearengineering program and 4 years of experience with research on MEAs, including thedevelopment of the MEA Rubric.C.

The results from these surveys are not used for staff promotionpurposes, and evaluative instruments are tailored by the Centre for Academic Developmentwhere a staff member wishes to seek feedback of a personal nature or to evaluate a specificinitiative in teaching or assessment. The School of Engineering also complies with theUniversity-wide three-year rolling plan of course evaluation. There is a perception thatcourses are comprehensively evaluated, and in fact there is some talk of “survey overload”.ChallengesOver the period of thirteen years that this program has run

Forinstance, in such research conducted in an elementary school, we see how students are able toidentify and frame engineering problems in their own school that affect the students, and alsothat even young students can make predictions and plan testing of their prototypes when they aredesigning with contexts they understand in mind [76]. And in research conducted using a gamein which girls role-played as mechanical engineers, the girls developed engineering skills andknowledge, and these were particularly supported by having a client and reflecting on progress ina notebook [10
College.On the faculty side during this same period, additional damaging biases were revealed wheninstructors would mention in passing that they had a certain number of GS students enrolled intheir courses. When questioned further, these instructors would explain that they assumedstudents of certain ethnicities were part of the GS program, simply based on their physicalappearance instead of any actual knowledge of their affiliation with the program.The Dean of the College, in his strategic plan, said he intended to grow the program in an effortto increase the representation of diverse students. When an effort to gain more beds in the sharedresidence hall failed, the program leadership decided to move the program to a differentresidence hall. The

preventsome student teams from going down the wrong track entirely and missing some of the primaryconcepts of the lab. A more formal method of communicating team experimental plans (eithervia a short written description or an in-person meeting with the instructors) could go a long wayto ameliorating these issues in future versions of the course.Conclusions and Future WorkThe revision of a unit operations laboratory course to be more open-ended and focus on technicalcommunication resulted in many positive outcomes: increased student self-efficacy in the areasof communication skills and design, achievement of course learning objectives, and increased in-lab student engagement. With regards to self-efficacy improvements, there was no perceivedeffect of
