isneeded.The National Academies of Sciences (NAS) report [10] emphasizes that using a piecemealapproach to data science curriculum development may result in content coverage but also ‘lackeducational and cross discipline cohesion’. While programs need to address data science skills,they should also prepare students for the actual ‘data challenges they will face in their careers’[10]. The NAS report also calls out the need to include high impact educational practices such asfirst year seminars, undergraduate research, common intellectual experiences (common andintegrative core knowledge), writing intensive courses, collaborative projects and assignments,and capstone courses. Important findings to note within the NAS report [10] include enhancingthe

However, tension can also exist between faculty and instructional designpersonnel. Whereas the ideal relationship would be one of

Such an analysis will be performed both at the beginning usingdomain expertise but also during the experiment analyzing the answers received and adaptingprior decisions.Step 3: However, not all categories have the same contribution. Therefore, the researchers hadto identify the relative relevance of the determined categories. For instance, the inputs from ajunior respondent being as relevant as the inputs from a senior level respondent need to bedetermined. A senior level respondent may be more experienced and have more knowledge inprinciple and current best practices of the field, but it may also be the case that a junior levelrespondent may be more aware of the emerging

conclusions [12]. While natural processes act without political/social intent, people practice science within a social context that is immersed in cultures infused with political and social power differentials. The questions asked, priorities assigned, interpretation of data, and presentation of results are all deeply subjective. Conversely, SE respects and values varied ways of knowing and, therefore, the sharing of power over what and how engineers should research, design, and implement. ● Meritocratic: Meritocracy is the false assumption that the system as it currently exists is fair and just. The meritocratic narrative purports that equal reward is always provided by the system for equal effort within it and that the

Forexample, student research projects on bio-based polymers,23 and laboratory experiencesexamining biodegradability behavior of polymers24 have been discussed. Beyond these,unfortunately, there is a surprising lack of discussion regarding the manufacture of biologicalmaterials in terms of educational opportunities for curricular enhancement.The research literature, on the other hand, is rich with many examples of

While some educators are optimistic about the potential impact that flippedclassroom teaching might provide, there are still many challenges to overcome duringimplementation. One of the major challenges faced by course developers, especially first-timedevelopers, is to manage the heavy workload needed to design an effective practice that issuitable for their unique student body. This paper presents an iterative framework to help easethe adoption and continuous improvement of flipped classroom teaching, so that students’learning experience can be optimized over time. The framework is composed of two phases – theinitial design phase and the iterative tuning

Typical reasons cited for leaving the university include lack of awareness ofacademic support resources, sense of belonging, the uncertainty of best practices to succeed incollege, etc. This one-week residential RAMP program was created to fill this void by engaging inextensive team-building activities, exposure to academic resources on campus, networkingactivities with college peer mentors to learn best practices, and overall obtaining a jump-start oncollege. The ideas was to instill a sense of belonging among students, aid in improving the first-to second-year retention, and increase the number of graduating students in engineering disciplinesoverall.

However, incorporatingreflection in a way that engages engineering students can be challenging, and educators seekways to design or introduce effective and efficient reflective practices that best address this issue.In this paper, we describe three example case studies that use the concept of probes and weanalyze their potential for stimulating reflection to help identify new ways of supportingreflection in engineering education. Our goal is to introduce engineering educators to the conceptof probes as a method to support students’ reflection and also to inspire and facilitatecollaboration between engineering educators
