“effective” practice is considered to be one that supports and better preparesstudents, especially those designated as URM, to score higher on these “objective” measures[11]–[14]. Less dialogue has invited instructors and administrators within higher education torethink whether these instruments, the measures themselves, may be imperfect and biased. Whilegrades have a strong place in the logistics and culture of higher education in the United states(see Appendix A and B for information on American grading practices), now is the time toconsider their flaws and limitations, as well as explore new grading practices that may reducetheir inequitable impact on students who are already marginalized in STEM disciplines.In this paper, I argue that the very

The purpose of this paper is to present thetwo leading theories of conceptual change, examples of current research in this area, and howthey can be applied to engineering teaching and learning.Why Does Conceptual Change Matter?It is worth briefly presenting the argument for considering conceptual change in engineeringeducation research. Although students’ scores on concept inventories surprise many instructors,the implications of low conceptual understanding in engineering are not often discussed. In thehighly regulated apprenticeship system of engineering, graduates who are adept at calculationsmay be all that is needed. While the complete

To attract students to the field, Clough arguesthat civil engineering students must be trained in new and creative approaches to usingtechnology and that this training must include practical experiences in industry [13]. Further,prospective students must be made aware of what it is that civil engineers do. When theyunderstand that civil engineers work on things that most directly affect quality of life, they canbegin to connect their own values and passions to the profession as they see that their work canhave a direct impact on improving life for others.

first decade of this century. A systems engineer is acutely aware of this issue when considering every aspect of managing a business and designing a product. For managing a project, system engineering forces the manager to define the goals and objectives of the project. The project manager with an understanding of the systems viewpoint is capable of knowing the difference between the long-term goals and short-term goals, and can focus on the long-term goals when making strategic decisions. Indeed, the issues of life cycle development are prominent within the literature on project management, and hence they have had an impact on systems thinking by project managers.
