The authors hypothesize that placing engineering challenges andsolutions in a classroom context while emphasizing social engagement and impact facilitates thedevelopment of engineering students as moral agents who understand the consequences of theirdecisions. Thus, a collaboration of investigators from the grantee universities are investigatinghow game-based educational interventions with strongly situated components influence early-curriculum engineering students' ethical awareness and decision making.This paper offers an overview of the progress to date of this three year, NSF ImprovingUndergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) grant that aims to (1) characterize the

. Quantitative and Qualitative Risk InflationSince the 1970s the literature on risk and its challenges has ballooned. Literature (and risk work)is commonly parsed into categories dealing with the practices and problematics of (1) riskidentification, (2) risk assessment, (3) risk management, and (4) risk communication. In all cases,however, risk issues are mostly assumed to be bounded: that is, to apply only to particularprojects, locations, processes, or people. Concerns about the Cold War risks of thermonuclearwarfare broke the boundaries to consider more comprehensive or catastrophic, global risks: inthe famous phrase of engineer physicist and military strategist Herman Kahn [1], it forced“thinking about the unthinkable.” Although nuclear related

Formation of Engineers (RFE)(EEC-1824856 and EEC-1824859). The primary goal of this project is to develop and testengineering education modules that link K-12 students’ classroom learning to field tripexperiences in an interactive science museum, increasing student learning and extending the fieldtrip experiences. Each Engineering Explorations module consists of one 50-minute field tripprogram completed at an interactive science center and curriculum for three 50-minute lessons tobe implemented by the classroom teacher before (2 lessons) and after (1 lesson) the field tripprogram. Our paper will present both development and research outcomes.Development accomplishments. To date, we have developed and tested 3 field trip programswith over 5,000 K-12

anintegration of process and knowledge to better serve the society are an essential part of theprofessional education of engineers [1]. Engineers, by definition, engage in problem solving on aregular basis, which has been identified as one of the 21st century skills [2]. However, researchhas shown that the problem types engineering students and practitioners solve differ [3], [4].Engineering students are typically given well-structured (also known as well-defined) problems,which have pre-defined solutions. They are used to reinforce recent course material covered inclass, and are heavily in a written and well-documented form. Practitioners, however, tackle ill-structured (i.e. complex real-world) problems, which are more vague and ambiguous

Groupwork has also been shown to be particularly beneficial for underrepresented groups in STEMbecause group work has been linked with reinforcing students’ sense of belonging, self-concept,and self-efficacy [5]. Belonging, self-concept and self-efficacy are in turn associated withpersistence in STEM [3].However, the benefits of group work are not always universal.

Howdo communication tasks shape students’ engineering judgments? Finally, how is engineeringjudgment shaped by engineer identity?1. IntroductionBeginning with the 2019-2020 academic year, ABET [1] added the ability to “use engineeringjudgment to draw conclusions” (p. 6) as an explicit outcome for graduates of engineeringprograms. Notably, while engineering judgment has been an implicit component of curricula formany years, little research has been done to date to define more concretely what the term meansor how students develop engineering judgement in undergraduate education.

. 1Literature reviewIn recent years, academic libraries have reported a major shift in focus towardsscholarly communications and research management services [1]. Craft and Harlow [2]observed increased requests from graduate students for scholarly communicationstraining in a variety of topics, with the top choices being “publishing tips” and“post-dissertation publishing” [3]. This demand for training reflects the need amongstudents for guidance in navigating the publication process. Many doctoral programs,especially in the sciences and engineering, require students to publish in order tograduate. As relative novices in the complicated, often opaque arena of academicpublishing, many of these students struggle with the task and would benefit fromguidance

The resurgence of this idea in modern times began during the late 1990sresulting in Living Learning Communities (LLCs), wherein students live on the same floor of aresidence hall and share common courses and/or social structures with the ultimate goal ofcreating a shared community that gives participants a sense of belonging at the university orwithin specific disciplines [1]. Inkelas and her colleagues [1] conducted a survey of LLCs in theUnited States and estimated that there are more than 600 LLCs on college campuses across thenation.

This approach simply breaks up or replaces the mundaneprocess of notetaking with activities that stimulate student’s learning [3]. Activities typicallyinclude collaboration with a partner or team, instant-feedback polls and quizzes, and/orapplication of learning through design projects and assignments.
