They do not provide grammar quizzes everyFriday. And they certainly don’t give popular movie reviews of all the shows they watched on agiven weekend. On the other hand, they spend a great deal of their professional lives writing journalarticles and conference papers, reviewing articles written by other faculty, and being the mentors foruntold numbers of theses and dissertations.

For example, copper strips placed in the velocity field downstream of the exhaustnozzle would turn this high temperature gas green. Professors may choose to give point datarather than profile data at the exhaust nozzle exit (rather than the compressor exit) to bafflestudents. Data acquisition systems can be added to the engine to measure real time temperaturesand pressures. This provides the opportunity of adding a load cell to the engine stand to measurethrust and have students compare that value with their integrated values. Many parameters canbe altered or added in order to teach students to think when conducting laboratory experiments.The lesson learned

To truly understand asset-based pedagogical practices, thisliterature review will explore three specific themes that honor and underscore its importance: 1)recognizing diverse assets within diverse students, 2) building on the strengths that are present inunderrepresented students in engineering programs, and 3) the realization of empoweringstudents when asset-based pedagogy is practiced.Recognizing diverse

To examine what traditional and inquiry practice look like in a classroom, it is necessaryto first define these terms. As stated previously, inquiry is most commonly associated with the Page 12.830.2theory of constructivism. Teaching through inquiry has its roots in education as early as thebeginning of the nineteenth century with John Dewey and his laboratory school8.

naturally occurwithin social contexts (Lofland, 1971; Merriam & Tisdell, 2016). This approach assumes thatpeople’s values, attitudes, and behaviors are shaped by the social situation. Consequently,ethnographic researchers gather multiple types of qualitative data such as observations,interviews, and documentary evidence. This allows them to understand the context-dependentnature of people’s actions in naturalistic settings. Since the 1970s, educational research hasincreasingly adopted the ethnographic approach (Gordon et al., 2011; Green & Bloome, 2004).Its application spans various domains in education, including medical education (Reeves et al.,2013), second language teaching (Flowerdew & Miller, 1995), and social science education

ABET also asks programs to ensure that students integrate ethicalconsiderations into a "major design project." Even a quick look at these ethics requirementsmakes it clear that the ethical component of this new engineering curriculum cannot becompletely delegated to the ethics expert, for example, a philosopher who would teach afreestanding course in engineering ethics required of all engineering students. For reasons thatwe will discuss below, the freestanding course, while an essential part of a successfulengineering program, does not by itself achieve the integration of ethics into the engineeringcurriculum that ABET requires.One of the
