The range correctfrom the eight questions (31% - 58.6%) indicates these questions are conceptually challengingfor students. Thus, the associated written explanations are good candidates for machine learninganalysis to reveal student reasoning.Qualitative analysisFor the preliminary analysis reported here, one question, CW5703 - shown in Figure 1, was usedfor initial manual coding and machine learning coding. Using a combination of a priori andemergent approaches described in Creswell & Poth (2018), a coding scheme was developed toclassify elements of student explanations and provide categories to train the machine

Learning analytics from AL systems enable instructors to adapt instruction basedon student needs and can identify at-risk students to provide interventions [1], [2].

Many horrific events have spurred progressin process safety education in the Chemical Engineering field. While the Safety and Healthdivision of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AICHE) was chartered in 1976 [1],the Center for Chemical Process Safety was formed as a response to what is considered theworld's worst industrial accident, the release of methyl isocyanate gas at the Union Carbide inBhopal India where approximately 3,800 people were killed [2].

critical for the developmentof STEM interest, from a child’s early years [1]–[3], to their secondary education [4]–[9].Engagement with informal learning environments supports students’ interest to pursue a STEMdegree [10], [11] and can also enrich learning in formal environments [12]. Students in grades K-12 spent only 18.5% of their time in formal learning environments (i.e., classrooms), while themajority of their time is spend in informal learning environments [13]. Thus, out-of-schoolexperiences offer students’ an opportunity to foster interest in STEM-related activities and sustaintheir interest over time [14]–[16].

The students had burgeoning conceptions ofengineering/engineers with traces of sociotechnical perspectives. These preliminary findingsreiterate that students will not simply ‘get’ sociotechnical engineering after a single courseexperience.

Thethermodynamics class was to be offered online during the summer of 2021, and a more effectiveformat for the class was sought. Flipping a thermodynamics class allows more time fordiscussion and problem solving and most students indicate this builds their confidence in thecourse [2].

foundationalengineering courses can be challenging. This is especially true for summative assessment whichis commonly conducted with a cumulative final exam at the end of the semester. Foundationalcourses often have large numbers of students across multiple sections, and grades for final examsusually need to be returned quickly. It is challenging to create comprehensive exams thatappropriately test students’ understanding of the material and which can be graded within 1 – 2days. One approach is the use of machine-graded multiple-choice exams that are common to allstudents in every section of the course.However, these exams suffer from issues of their own. In particular, multiple-choice exams donot differentiate between a student who was not even able to start a

We began with the Social Justice Scale (SJS)developed by Torres-Harding et al. (2012). The SJS is informed by Ajzen’s Theory of PlannedBehavior (TPB) (Ajzen, 1991) and contains 24 items that measure four distinct, interrelated aspectsof one’s social justice orientation.
