Gender Differences in the Learning Preferences of Engineering Students P.A. Rosati The University of Western Ontario AbstractThe results are compared of the responses of female and male engineering students to anIndex of Learning Styles. This self-report forced-choice instrument classifies the learningpreferences of the respondents on four scales; Active/Reflective, Sensing/Intuition,Visual/Verbal and Sequential/Global. Both male and female students showed a clearpreference for Active, Sensing, Visual, Sequential learning. However, the female students’learning preferences were

This paper proposes a more positive approach toteaching engineering ethics and social impact of technology via service-learning byoffering justifications for the pedagogy based on engineering codes of ethics. This paperexamines reflection issues in engineering, without which the full benefit of the service-learning pedagogy cannot be realized. The paper concludes by offering suggestions onreflection course materials for three types of service-learning projects found commonlyin engineering.Service-learning is “a form of experiential education in

In particular, studentsneed support in developing ways of talking and writing that enable practices such as proposingpossible design solutions and redesigning. Such practices require engineers to engage inreflective decision-making in communication with others (NRC, 2012).In this work-in-progress, we are developing and studying multimedia engineering notebook toolsthat support urban elementary students’ engagement in engineering practices, particularly thosethat involve reflective decision-making with fellow students.

It is often situated in the context of analyzing oppressive systemic forcesusing the cyclic process of critical reflection, critical motivation, and critical action. Critical reflection is defined as the process of individuals analyzing their reality andsocial inequities (e.g., economic, racial/ethnic, and gender inequities) that constrain well-beingand human agency.

There are four categories of STV in Eccles’ theory: 1) attainment, 2) intrinsic, 3)utility, and 4) relative cost. Attainment value is defined as the reflection of one’s perception of a task onone’s self-concept. Intrinsic or interest value is related to the enjoyment one experiences when engagingin a task. Utility value is defined as a perception one has of the potential outcomes of future engagementin a particular task. Finally, the relative cost is the cost of engaging in a task in terms of time, effort orpsychological factors associated with it9,12 .Participants and data collectionThe participants in this

TheCOVID-19 pandemic thus provides an opportunity to investigate dimensions of engineeringculture during a crisis, which can open new avenues for conversations about equity andaccessibility in engineering by identifying which aspects of culture are most and least amenableto change. In other words, disasters can help uncover ‘what really matters’ and potentially offer anew avenue for cultural change.This paper and its larger research project aim to capture student experiences and reflections, intheir own words, in order to understand how dimensions of engineering culture interacted withpractices in engineering education during COVID-19.
