The work reported in this paper isbased on the collaboration of project team (consisting of engineering and education faculty,researchers, and graduate students) with 20 middle school teachers (10 pairs of science and mathteachers at 8 New York City schools) and observations of more than 250 middle school studentsin their robotics-based STEM lessons.To begin, using appropriate questionnaire design techniques, we develop a “trust vocabulary” thatelicits what the participants (i.e., teachers and students) mean by trust in the robots for their lessonsand what factors and features of robotics may affect their trust. Next, we develop a qualitative trustassessment method using a

For instance, gender-based differences may lead male students to report a greater perceived capacity to complete anundergraduate engineering program compared to their female counterparts [13]. Consequently,both the pilot study and the ensuing questionnaire should incorporate inquiries aboutdemographic information and other pertinent details related to background factors andpersonality variables, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the surveyed population.Questionnaire DevelopmentAfter formulating a pilot survey, a comprehensive questionnaire can be constructed to delve

the language is only a meansto social gains with very little interest in the culture or the community of people who speak thelanguage. On the contrary, the integrative orientation implies a personal involvement or desireto connect with the community that speaks the language, get access to its culture or evenbecome a member of the group. The former distinction is not supposed to be taken as amutually exclusive dichotomy since there is an element of instrumentality in the integrativeorientation [21] [22].

So,from a professional identity perspective, technical communication and engineeringcommunication are not interchangeable terms.One distinctive aspect of engineering communication, as mentioned above, is that the group offaculty engaged in engineering communication includes many people whose primary expertise isnot in communication or writing studies. One manifestation of these circumstances is thediffusion of interest in communication throughout ASEE. While the majority of papers

This study used a multi-universitydatabase which contained information on 87,176 students from 9 universities to predictgraduation using six variables (ethnicity, gender, high school GPA, SAT Math score, SATVerbal score and citizenship status).

Poor performance in this “gateway” course nodoubt leads many students to reexamine their decisions to study engineering. Compounding thescenario are widespread efforts to diversify the student population of engineering with the verystudents who are statistically most likely to graduate high school underprepared for direct entryinto calculus I—minorities, women and first-generation college attendees. Thus, achievingdiversity in engineering is linked to the performance outcomes in mathematics of studentshistorically underrepresented in engineering, including the underrepresented minority (URM
