Exploratoryresearch questions that guided the preliminary study included: a) Participation: Who are the mostactive users in terms of follower count in the ILookLikeAnEngineer (ILLAE) dataset? Who arethe most active users in terms of tweet count? Where are the tweets coming from? b) Discourse:What are the most frequent hashtags and their associated themes? c) Interaction: What is a patternof user interaction and its dynamics? In the following sections we present the detailed analysis ofthese inquiries.ParticipationUser analysis:To understand

Similar to Smith’s[5] reliance on the Kolb and Felder-Soloman models, Roy and colleagues suggest that betterunderstanding learners is an important step to developing effective teaching methods, yet theystop short of including personality traits and other characteristics in their scope of consideration.2.2 Personality characteristics The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), notably mentioned in the introduction, is alongstanding and well know measure of personality types. The MBTI is generated using a shortquestionnaire and responses are mapped against four axes; (a) introversion-extroversion, (b)intuition-sensing, (c) thinking-feeling
professional behaviour. a. Identify and utilize standards of academic honesty/integrity. b. Indentify how the foundations of engineering ethics impact their experience. 2. Articulate unique, personally relevant examples of how the things they are learning apply to the real world. 3. Demonstrate interpersonal and relationship skills, such as tact, diplomacy, teamwork. 4. Demonstrate logical thought process to break up a complicated problem into simple, resolvable steps or segments. a. Utilize algorithmic/computational thinking/design processes. 5. Apply basic principles, relationships, and mathematical laws to solve problems. 6. Understand the principles of developing a model for a complex system, and

-upDuring the summer 2017, nine secondary school teachers participated in the RET-ENERGYprogram. The summer activities were divided in: a) workshops, b) visits to industries, and c)research experience.The workshop topics included: laboratory safety and health effects of emissions, wind energy,solar energy and photovoltaics, solar panels, pico-grid, exhaust heat, heat transfer, bio-flownetworks, and STEM education and assessment. The workshop activities took place during thefirst two weeks of the summer, and all nine participants attended all the workshops.The visits to industries were scheduled one every Friday, and the industries that were visitedincluded Honda, Briggs & Stratton, JCB, Herty Advanced Materials Lab, and the National

all new engineering students. Thecourse instructor of the first-year “Simple Robotics” course, one of the design-based coursesoffered for the entering freshman across engineering disciplines, structured the course consistingof a series of small-group projects throughout the semester with the goal of emphasizing abreadth of key technical and non-technical engineering areas. The open-ended design projectsleveraged the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics toolset as the hardware and the LabVIEWGraphical Programming Environment as the software. As a means of a) facilitating students intheir reflection process and b) capturing research data on the evolution of student reflections overthe course of a semester, the instructor administered a non-graded, open

However, even withincreased recruitment, those from underrepresented groups still make up incredibly smallpercentages of the engineering workforce (U.S. Department of Education, 2016).There are many reasons why, once recruited into engineering, diverse talent does not persist(Seron, Silbey, Cech, & Rubineau, 2016; Singh et al. 2014). For example, several researchershave documented dysfunctional team behaviors that are particularly problematic for femaleengineers, such as: (a) men relegating women to helping roles (Seron, Silbey, Cech, & Rubineau,2016), (b) men creating team environments in which women do not speaking up when they are inthe minority (Dasgupta, Scircle &

So, I've just felt like in the beginning, it was – like I have a good relationship with my peers now. But in thebeginning, I felt like I was working against them. Like you don't want to help them because ifthey do bad and you do great, you have an A. But if you guys all do average, that's like a Cplus. So, I just felt like – I mean, I know why they did it just to drive out everyone who couldn'thandle it. But I just felt like in the beginning it was really competitive.
