Listed in Table 2, these subscales were either developedby the research team to detect specific constructs (e.g., confidence describing industries), oradopted for use because they had prior evidence of validity and reliability (e.g., STEMSemantics Survey). All subscales were tested and found to be reliable and sufficient to cover theconstructs under study. This instrument was administered to all cadets prior to and uponcompletion of their JROTC camp experience (Academy or JCLC camp) as well as at the end oftheir spring semester of their senior year of high school. The instrument also includes open-ended response questions to help better understand the student experience in his/her

Further, the module sought to aidstudents in the development of important professional skills, such as problem-solving, teamwork,and communication. During module design and implementation, a variety of SCL teachingstrategies (Table 1) were applied to achieve the learning outcomes within the short timeframe ofthe module (Figure 1).

Most notable in Brown and Wilson’s work was theemphasis on pushing students into active roles that require students to engage in and articulateproblem definition, ideation and planning, and prediction. These core activities elevate thestudent activity in programming from lower-level cognitive skills (i.e., remembering,understanding) to higher-level cognitive skills (i.e., applying, analyzing, and evaluating).

The assessment plan strategy must include elements of robustness which would make the resultsfrom implementation of the plan as insensitive as possible and hence more reliable to unavoidablevariations.

While this method of learning can bedirectly applied to engineering education environments, the experimental framework wasdeveloped for students with no required specialized knowledge to make the lesson activitiesaccessible to a variety of audiences. Unfortunately, the study was disrupted by the COVID-19pandemic and the team was unable to conduct in-person experiments as planned. Instead, theteam conducted a remote pilot test.MethodsTwo examples from a typical Engineering Statics course (moment of force, and friction of asliding block) were selected to model in the haptic environment. The models were made usingthe Haply Development Kit and the Java programming language in Processing. For the MomentLab

We find that teams establish shared vision with stakeholders throughappealing to a range of motivations, honoring what has come before them, engaging stakeholders viastrategies of co-orientation and integration, and sharing the labor of change.

use in multiple contexts (c.f., Rodell, 2013; Colquitt etal., 2019). The original instrument uses four subscales, procedural, distributive, interpersonal, andinformational justice. However, Colquitt and Roddell (2015) suggest a two-factor solution that collapsesinterpersonal and informational into distributed and procedural is also acceptable. In our survey,students responded to the derivative instrument for three different contexts: (1) Courses they had takenin previous semesters, (2) Their capstone course, and (3) Their TechCom course. We plan a moreextensive reporting of the instruments’ development and validity in future work that is not possible in aWIP.In addition to the grading justice and fairness instrument, we asked two additional

These two research findings suggest that culturally responsive teachingin HSIs should necessarily involve both cognitive and cultural congruence, i.e., both theintentional deployment of culturally congruent learning situations where Latinx students feelthey are a validated part of the learning community, as well as active learning strategies thatboost students’ cognitive engagement with content and improve academic performance.The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant online learning environment that many HSIswere forced to implement threw a wrench into the planning of even the most dedicated culturallyresponsive instructors. Especially concerning for HSI instructors was a trend that Latinx andURM learners are less successful

reaching students. The problem arises when most of the studentswe teach are not thinking rationally, but emotionally. Most engineeringeducators have noticed how “non-traditional” students (older) tend to do betteron the average than more traditional students (younger). This paper deals with technics to rationally reach emotional thinkingstudents. One popular television commercial says, “People won’t rememberwhat you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.” Asengineering educators, we need to set up our lesson plans to emotionally connectwith students (engage their feelings).Introduction Human brain development is not a uniform process.
