prerequisite structures present ina curriculum, the instructional complexity intends to capture the curriculum’s qualitativecomponents. Heileman et al. [14] admit this is a difficult task, especially in terms of quantifyinglatent qualities of such a system. Like structural complexity, we associate each course with ameasure that reflects its position in the overall curriculum – however, it does not appear to have aspecific name like ‘cruciality.’ The individual course instructional complexity is proxied by thepass/fail rate of the course. One could find the average pass/fail rate for the curriculum,mirroring the use of summing blocking and delay factors to calculate structural complexity, butthis could be a weak measure.

At the end of Part 1, teams had tosubmit a word document providing the answers to each of the clues, along with specificstrategies and steps they took to reach the answers. The teams also had to submit a worddocument at the conclusion of Part 2, including selfies in front of the target building and uniqueclue, alongside written descriptions of their physical observations and details about the uniqueclue. Final reports and presentations included consolidated versions of the mini-reports above, aswell as reflections about team challenges

A composition notebook was provided to each group to document their meetings and to record a brief reflection of each meetings. Students were required to bring their group notebooks to the ENGR194 class. Notebook checks were performed randomly during the semester to keep track of the learning process. • Four-year Graduation Plan Development: The purpose of this module is to guide student to develop their plan for taking courses during their undergraduate years. In the first session of this module, the instructor described some important rules and

The two characteristics together consistently make up about 70% of the replies.It is important to realize that although each module was similar in the amount of contentpresented and that the amount of time students had to complete each module was identical, somemodule concepts were more challenging for students to grasp and implement then others.Anecdotally, we observed students struggle more with modules 1, 2, 6 and 7 then they did withmodules 3,4 and 5.

faculty. In 2017, ASEE surveyed 338 universities nationwide that have four-year degreegranting engineering programs and found that of the 27,412 tenured/tenure-track engineering facultymembers, only .52% were African American women [1]. Although this number depicts a dismalrepresentation, this number actually reflects an increase in the number of African American womenfaculty members in engineering over time [1].There are a variety of reasons why diversifying the engineering ranks adds value. Diversity has the abilityto either hinder or drive innovation [5,11]. Additionally, given the importance of role models inrecruiting and retaining underrepresented minorities, the lack of diversity in the academy influences therepresentation of

thatincorporates personal, private, public and professional identities (Cruess et al., 2015; Piaget &Inhelder, 1969; Kohlberg, 1984; & Kegan, 1982). The complex identity formed as individualsprogress from infancy into adulthood is represented by individual, relational, and collectivedomains (Vignoles, Schwartz, & Luyckx, 2011). The individual domain focuses on personalcharacteristics and beliefs, the relational refers to influence from significant individuals likefamily and friends, and the collective domain reflects on the impact of social groups to which anindividual belongs (Cruess et al., 2015).Drawing from these theoretical foundations, it can be inferred that some undergraduate AECwomen may begin their nascent AEC-PID process even before

Inorder for the student to receive this grade they had to demonstrate during this oral exam that theirknowledge was on par with a 75% exam grade. During these oral exams many students have difficultyexplaining how they solved the problems. This often led to student questions and self-reflection by boththe student and teacher that allowed both to identify common misconceptions.Surveys were used in 2018 and 2019 to get anonymous student input to determine if test correctionsencouraged learning from their mistakes.

However, task conflicts, when modulated well, can function assources of creativity and innovation, a necessary engine in the early, diverging phase of innovation[17]. We believe that it is important to enable Japanese students to learn both collaboration andcooperation with people from diverse backgrounds.Given the complexity of teamwork and its context dependency, we believe that a simple rubric asproposed by JABEE is not enough.

Calculus II course? To answer this research question, twelve semi-structuredinterviews [22] were conducted during the last week of class with a focus on gaining a deeperunderstanding of students’ experiences in the flipped classroom. The research team adaptedquestions from a previous study on students’ self-efficacy in calculus [23]. Students names wereneither provided nor were known to the interviewer. Each interview was 10-20 minutes long andallowed students to reflect on their self-efficacy in mathematics (see Appendix B). Examples ofinterview questions included, “How do you rate your confidence in math now? Why?” and“What could make you feel more comfortable about math?” [23]. All interviews were audiorecorded using a digital recorder

].Aesthetics in engineering, utilizing objects from nature, is being stressed by modern industrial designers,whether in building architecture or in the design of a shopping mall. Industrial design is in the domain ofvisual education applicable in fine arts and performing arts. The pioneering works of Leonardo da Vinciare some the earlier examples in the Hellenistic-Judeo-Christian cultures that convey the importance ofaesthetic aspects in mechanical design [4]. His extensive note books and sketch pads on all mechanicalmodels, ranging from water pumps to helicopters, put aesthetics on a solid foundation in the domain ofdesign, and reflect the union between beauty and technology, harmony and synthesis, art and artisan’swork in a creative endeavor.Over

Students iteratively design the helmet using practical arts and crafts materials and engage in testing to determine the performance of their design. Students also reflect on their designs to influence further iterations. On day 3, students use the engineering design cycle to iteratively design surgical tools. Students evaluate their tools by performing mock surgeries on gelatin models to remove embedded masses. Students evaluate their tool performance and use that to inform further design improvements. On day 4, students revise their tools to enhance performance and prepare for day 5 challenges. The day 5 competition includes

Engineeringknowledge is not value neutral and—depending on how it is selected, organized, demarcated,delivered, and evaluated—it can have discriminatory effects on different populations (e.g., [5]–[7]. Often students are implicitly asked to leave aspects of themselves at the door before enteringthe classroom in order to learn “objective” engineering knowledge [8]. This history of theengineering profession means that class biases were baked into its educational systems, helping toexplain why students from low-income and working-class backgrounds describe the culture andcontent of undergraduate engineering programs as foreign, if not hostile (e.g., [9]).

One partner commented that theydidn’t think the students’ designs “reflect[ed] all the effort they seemed to put into it! If I'd seenthe drawing earlier on, I think I could have helped them push their ideas a little further.”In addition to surveying the partners to see if they would be willing to participate in the projectagain, they were asked if they would recommend partnering with this course’s project to othergroups or organizations similar to theirs.
