Group lab activities, using simple and inexpensive materials, were incorporated into thecourse to enhance student engagement and understanding. Throughout a 15 week semester, 10labs were performed. Each lab was completed and submitted during a class period, with studentsworking

context of MSFW students in STEM fields?A. Construct GenerationThe survey instrument in this study was a combination of two existing validated instruments onCommunity Cultural Wealth (CCW) and Funds of Knowledge (FofK). One of the instruments isfrom a conference proceeding on ASEE titled Critically Quantitative: Measuring CommunityCultural Wealth on Surveys [33], which was developed by looking at underrepresented groups inSTEM fields. While the instrument in the study is consistent with Yosso’s [15] framework andgoes deeper in detail about the type of constructs for CCW. For this study, only the social construct(10 items) was used and renamed as social networks. The second instrument comes from a journalpaper titled Recognizing the funds of

-institutional perspectives, thecommunity also brings together teams that are at different stages of the change process, withdifferent levels of experience with changemaking. The inter-cohort aspect of the communityallows us to examine the diffusion of knowledge and practices in the network.Data Collection & AnalysisWe leverage our access to the exhaustive set of meetings to systematically address howtransformative learning, development and exercise of change agency take place in a cross-institutional, cross-cohort community of transformation. To that end, we analyzed the totalpopulation of the monthly CoT sessions (N=31) from 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 academicyears. All teams that were funded at the time (N=21) from the first four cohorts of
financial burdens. Second, the work can remain a livingdocument, which will create less friction as the course is updated over the years.Finally, to serve the stated course goals even better, the author wants to update the class model toone of ungrading [13, 14], specifically standards-based grading [15]. As the top goal is forstudents to fully engage with the laboratory work and to become independent makers, givingthem multiple chances to make a functional product, along with formative feedback to push themtoward mastery, makes a lot of sense. The current class structure is already amenable to thisapproach, so it will be the next experiment that is attempted.References [1] James W Bales, “A project-based introduction to electronics,” in 2011 ASEE

Building transferable skills and enhancing resumes 3. Learning to publicly advocate for and defend work 4. Getting a leg up on graduate or professional school 5. Contributing knowledge and impacting the worldAlthough it has some obstacles and challenges, a paper in the 123rd annual ASEE conference inLouisiana in 2016 demonstrated that undergraduate research still has many benefits, as perceivedby the students themselves [3].

Authors:The first task in surveying OER authors in engineering was to compile a list of contacts to reachout to. Locating OER has thankfully become easier as lists and databases of these resources havebecome more common, but this also presented our first choice as there are multiple lists of OERin engineering, some with more than a hundred resources. Because we were submitting the paperto the ASEE Libraries Division, we decided it would be appropriate to use the ASEE EngineeringLibraries Division Open Textbooks for Engineering list [12] as our central resource foridentifying authors. This list contains over a hundred resources and is consistently updated toinclude the most recently published OER. In addition to this database, the authors added a

be noted that instructorsoften denote several outcomes as “required” for successful completion of the course, for examplein prerequisite courses. The instructor maintains as much control as is needed to ensure largerlearning goals are met, but within that, students can choose the learning level they wish to attain.This Author’s Experience: Motivation for Change.The author first learned about specs grading at the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference, whenmeeting with a former colleague who presented his work in that area [5]. The initial appeal wasthat it linked a course more firmly to student learning outcomes, which not only helped withprogram assessment but also reduced the scoring for partial credit that I found distasteful.

be difficult to prove, we assert that the majority of feminism’spresence in Engineering Education is not well-aligned with intersectional feminism or Blackfeminism. This notion is supported by the finding that of papers in the American Society forEngineering Education’s (ASEE) repository between 2011 and 2020 that mention the work“intersectionality”, only four of the Black feminist theorists foundational to the establishment ofthe term are mentioned [19]. Moreover, in an analysis of papers in three major EngineeringEducation journals across 14 years, Beddoes and Borrego [12] identified eighty-eight articlesthat mention feminist theory and assessed the articles within five branches of feminist theory.The authors found that a majority fell
