“professionalskills”10. While this seems to be one of those cases where a scholarly consensus is at leastbeginning to form, we know that implementation of this best practice will take years at manyinstitutions. We’re relatively lucky at UW-Madison: At the December 2006 commencementceremony, our chancellor noted that an unprecedented number of our university’s graduates hadparticipated in service learning11. However, we are as yet far from making this opportunityavailable to all students. In a sense, then, the question we try to answer with this course and withthis paper is “What might we do in the meanwhile for those students who won’t have the chanceto do service learning before they graduate?”12Our answer is informed by a metaphor that environmental writer

engineering education scholars, namely how they define their academic identity.Thus, this work-in-progress paper seeks to answer the research question: how do internationalstudents construct their academic identities in a graduate program in Engineering Education?Theoretical Framework: Funds of IdentityIn this work, we adopt the funds of identity theory as a framework for research design and datainterpretation. Funds of Identity theory centers on identity as a social constructivism perspectivewhile viewing identity as a form of capital [17], [18]. Thus, identity is conceptualized usingVygotsky’s point of view and as a “lived experience.” Instead of the experience itself, Vygotskyargues that it is an individual’s consciousness and subjective

In this paper, we first provide abackground for the project, and then we present specific details about the module – includinglearning objectives, pre-class activities, in-class teaching activities, and post-class assessments.We conclude by reflecting on the development process from a graduate student perspective,describing the anticipated next steps, and summarizing the work.Background Research in engineering education has explored the integration of sociotechnicalconcepts into engineering courses. Canney and Bielefeldt found that engineering students’ senseof professional social responsibility varies across institutions, disciplines, religious

After thefirst two offerings the Committee recommended to run BME 201 more similar to the client-baseddesign courses by introducing the design problem, form teams, hold ‘client’ meetings, andprovide the best practices guidelines for writing reports and the evaluation forms at the beginningof the semester. Additionally, course evaluations revealed that there were too many disparatecontent platforms needing greater organization which could have also influenced team dynamic:outcome d, as well as overall performance in the course. Many of the changes described above in2014 were made to
addition to the ratings of team members on their behavior, CATME also allows for commentsabout team members and their peers to support the ratings. This provides both the relevance andaccountability that is called for in best practices in business and educational settings to enhanceteam performance and outcomes. This paper discusses the quality of peer feedback and how itinforms peer ratings in an educational setting.3. MethodsThe data for this analysis was taken from students enrolled in the second Introduction toEngineering (Engineering 2) course that used team-based learning assignments at a largeMidwestern university in the Spring of 2016. This course had 15 sections with a total of 427teams, each usually having four students. Team members

The Engineering Education Transformations Institute at UGA is an innovative approach that fuses high quality engineering education research with systematic educational innovation to transform the educational practices and cultures of engineering. Dr. Walther’s research group, the Collab- orative Lounge for Understanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER), is a dynamic interdisciplinary team that brings together professors, graduate, and undergraduate students from engineering, art, educational psychology, and social work in the context of fundamental educational research. Dr. Walther’s research program spans interpretive research

Additionally and qualitatively, the groupsreported significant benefits from the experience. The groups gained a mutual understanding ofthe needs of underrepresented groups in research settings. Further, the teachers gained anunderstanding from the undergraduate students of what it takes to guide underrepresentedstudents in to engineering and science fields. The undergraduates gained leadership andpresentation skills as they were mentored through this by the K-12 teachers and universityfaculty. This experience proved to be highly impactful for both

As analysis of the interview data has begun, severalsocial theories have surfaced that show promise of explaining aspects of this complex system.Among those most germane to our analysis are theories pertaining to professional configurations[4-8]; organizational behavior, scale, and linkages [9-14]; epistemic cultures [15]; the extensionof epistemic practices from one domain (engineering practice) into another (educationalgovernance) [16]; and an overall ethnomethodological framework necessary for a close study ofeducational and institutional reform practices [17-19].Throughout this iterative research design, some of the most interesting phenomena to emerge outof our data include the ways in which practices of
