Reflecting this shift, the number of qualitative researcharticles in engineering education reflects the increase in interest in qualitative methods and theneed for introductory material for pivoting researchers. It has been the norm for engineeringeducation researchers to partner with emergent and pivoting engineering faculty members tomentor them through this transition, but the process is often time- and resource-intensive.

The results show that the bio-inspired projects engaged students by connecting theory, practice, and application when teachingmathematically intensive engineering subjects, while also instilling an entrepreneurial mindset amongstudents, enhancing their creativity by combining art and STEM, and sharpening their professional skills.The study concludes with details related to the instructor’s intervention and lessons learned so that otherengineering instructors can easily replicate in the classroom.1.

The scaffolding to emphasize prototyping and adoption of aprototyping mindset may help as a pedagogical tool [33]. Artifacts that are created in thesecourses reflect tangible evidence of activity. From the idea to realization, there are means todescribe the role, purpose, and creation of prototypes. Gerber & Carroll [19] describe theconnection and process of prototype creation. Houde & Hill [20] discuss different types ofprototypes as what do prototypes prototype (function, looks-like). Makerspaces also provideadditional context for the tools, mindsets, and community of practice [21-23, 11].Design

Uncertainty avoidance considershow individuals cope with uncertainty. And masculinity assesses the emotional rolesamong members of society and estimates how much a society is driven by competitionand success [20].

and intuitively.Lib [1] described a series of steps used to develop high levels of skill in a sport. These stepsincluded drills and practice, a coach, and most importantly by playing the sport. Lib contrastedthese steps to a conventional engineering classroom approach wherein a person is being talked toabout the sport and rarely, if ever, plays. In the context of the engineering classroom, formationof engineers, and development of subject mastery we summarize these simple steps proposed byLib as: 1) a series of iterative tasks repeated many times until correct, 2) by working with expertswho observe and instruct and correct and provide a structure of iterative and progressiveconstructive failure, and 3) by reflecting on their progress and

lesser emphasis on social and ethical skill developmentmay reflect student preferences [4]. In their survey of 6,176 undergraduate students (39%majoring in STEM, 26.5% beginning in STEM and then changing their major to another field,and 30% never majoring in STEM), they found that those students that remained in STEMreported that their career goals were more important than social change, a response which wasnot reported by their non-STEM peers. This is a concerning result, when we consider theprofound responsibilities that accompany the role of an engineer. As Nair and Bullet propose [5],it is necessary to create an educational experience that allows for ethical considerations “to bebrought up naturally”. In this way, we allow for the students

Conceptual Site ModelsAbstractIn environmental engineering site remediation projects, community perception of environmentaland health risks can influence a project’s scope and design. Therefore, community engagement iscritical to shaping an engineer’s definition of an environmental problem. However, lower-levelundergraduate engineering curricula rarely address the incorporation of community input intoenvironmental engineering problem definition, as environmental engineering coursework tendsto utilize pre-defined problems to develop and assess technical knowledge and skills. Upper-level courses that do include community participation in environmental engineering design tendto be reflective, having students evaluate the social impact of a pre-defined

Since themain goals of the program were to increase student opportunities to engage with biomedicalengineering and science research topics and experiences, it was not necessary to request thatstudents learn new software for email, video meetings, and online learning platforms. Instead, itwas decided to train the instructors of the program on the platforms already used by the students,rather than the students on the platforms used at the University of Minnesota. This allowed for amore effective use of time spent toward meeting program goals.

CoIassumes that learning occurs at the intersection of the three presences – social presence, teachingpresence, and cognitive presence. Cognitive presence represents the means to support and maintaina purposeful learning community, which in our case is the environment of the research learningmodules. It is operationalized through the Practical Inquiry Model (PIM) based on phases ofDewey’s reflective thinking and a collaborative inquiry process2.
