These questionsprovided a foundation for gaining a detailed understanding of how the participants made sense oftheir experiences and factors that were influential in their choice and persistence in engineering.1. How might choice and persistence take shape for women in an undergraduate engineering program? a. What roles do pre-college engineering-related learning experiences play in women’s choice of engineering as a major? b. How do women overcome social and cultural barriers in their persistence in an engineering program?ParticipantsThe recommended sample size for

foundational level, we are establishing empirically informed conceptualframeworks and associated survey instruments that help educators and resources understand (a)what knowledge gains result when students engage in specific reflection activities and (b) whattypes of reactions students have when they engage in the activity. On a practical level, we areexploring ways to distribute our conceptual frameworks alongside relevant information. With ourwork, we aim to advance conversations about potential impact of reflection and conversationsabout how to leverage reflection in teaching. In the paper and poster, we will focus on both thefoundational insights and practical resources that are emerging from this work.IntroductionEducation involves identifying

The online delivery design includes a) the utilization of a numeric plug-in example inseveral scenarios described by words using interactive audio, b) the modification of numericinformation to illustrate the deduction process in the application of physics principles, and c) theinclusion of daily experiences as physics examples to illustrate the evidence-based methodologyin an induction process.

These concepts lay the ground work for 3D particle equilibriumanalysis as well as rigid body analysis. Students are often prepared to analyze vectors on paperusing at least one method, but have a limited sense of what a force vector or position vectorphysically means. Without this fundamental understanding, students are ill prepared to applytheir technical skills to systems they see in the world around them
