Therefore, when working together, various misconceptions regarding proposed tasksrequired consistent clarifications among multicultural participants. This factor caught authors’attentions: the issue was broader than just limited English proficiency of the local Uzbek facultyor students. Even those who spoke English fluently, they thought very differently about goals andoutcomes of common team working. As an American faculty-member who works withinternational graduate students on a routine daily basis, multicultural communications became atopic of the author’s special interests

Johnson), and Inviting Disaster: Learning fromthe edge of technology (by James R Chiles). The Biography of Steve Jobs provides a greatexample of the importance of collaboration in innovation and entrepreneurship. Students whojoin the program read this book during their first year in the program. Those students who areable and permitted to do a second year in the program read and take quizzes from Johnson’sbook

These results along with thegraduate mentor’s numerical analysis have been documented as a peer-reviewed conferenceproceeding [1] and eventually as an archival journal publication [2]. Students also finalized thedesign of an actuator and manufactured a functional prototype (Figure 2 (b) and (c)) along withperforming psychophysical tests to understand human perception to the vibration and its changes(Figure 2(d)).

In a recent study [17], a learningcommunity was built along with a summer immersion program, a peer mentoring program, and afirst-year experience course. The summer immersion program linked science and social justiceissues with hands-on activities and built a sense of belonging. The results showed increasedsuccess in the first year and those that participated were more likely to graduate. The study notedthat this type of community may not be appropriate for commuter populations if studentintegration cannot be balanced with maintaining connections to their home communities.Overall

Thus students who are deaf or hard of hearing are furthermarginalized and excluded from multi-party peer discussions with non-deaf participants becauseit is hard to visually follow who is speaking. To address these communication barriers, weutilized the Human Centered Engineering Design framework to identify a set of features thatovercomes the above barriers.

Students and mentors felt that the number of mentoring sessions wasabout right, the topics that were discussed were helpful, they would recommend the program totheir peers and were happy that they participated. The students said they were a bit less likely toparticipate in the program again, largely because they were unsure of how the program woulddiffer if they participated a second year.In critiquing the program, the mentors and students would have preferred more one-on-one timein their circles, more targeted topics for seniors and more structure in the mentoring events.

On theother hand, the need to wear a mask and teach for the entire class period was inconvenient for theinstructors who opted for in-person hybrid mode.

this movement meant encouraging faculty on a large scaleto adopt, adapt, and create OER. Peter Reed noted in his 2012 study, “Awareness, Attitudes andParticipation of Teaching Staff towards the Open Content Movement in One University,” thatteaching faculty are open to sharing their work, but “they are not doing so to any large-scaledegree, that is, through specific OER repositories and open licensing.” 1 The challenge ofencouraging faculty to understand and incorporate OER can often derive from their unfamiliaritywith terms and policies related to copyright. 2 3 These concerns are compounded by facultyquestions regarding OER content quality and the peer review process. 3 However, these issues canbe mitigated by informational courses offered by

, and her storymay be similar to other students who do not make it through the gauntlet of engineering, andinstead find fulfillment outside of engineering.Additionally, an extensive body of research shows that students’ personal epistemologies–howthey think about the nature of knowledge and knowing – affect how they approach learning inscience, mathematics, and engineering [14-19]. A disconnect between how students perceiveknowledge and engineering pedagogy fosters a lack of belonging in engineering. For example, inone study, “Michael,” a student who valued sense-making over memorization, felt different andisolated from his peers and community [11]. His approach to solving engineering problemsresulted in a deeper understanding, more creative

Students with ADHD commonly identify high energylevels, resilience, courage, and the ability to hyper-focus on tasks of interest as strengths [4]-[6],which are likely advantageous for academic success. However, college students with ADHDearn lower grades than their peers on average [2], [7]-[9] and are less likely to graduate [10].Researchers attribute these students’ lower than average academic achievement to difficulty

However the first element of “designing an experiment” is rather difficult toaddress in an undergraduate course. The difficulty is due to many reasons including lack of timeto cover essential laboratory tests in the curriculum, lack of preparation of undergraduatestudents to design and perform their own experimental work, and the extra training needed tooperate expensive equipment.Some educators argue that it is better to have students run fewer but more open-endedexperiments than many well-prescribed and guided experiments [1].

Research suggests that the disproportionately lowrates may result in students disengaging with STEM careers like engineering as they progressthrough middle school and high school. Therefore, to contribute to research exploring the gapbetween exposure and enrollment in engineering programs, this work in progress paper intendsto explore the relationship between middle school students’ perceptions of engineering, theirinterests, and self-efficacy to better understand how an out-of-school engineering interventionmay influence their engineering career aspirations.This paper uses a concurrent mixed-method, case-study approach, to analyze participants’ surveyand interview data to
