cultures of college and universitycampuses across the U.S., international students still face difficulty as they enter the U.S. andbegin their education. Difficulty with the English language, culture shock, and differencesbetween the education systems in their home country and those of the U.S. are compounded bydiscriminatory behaviors and biases that many international students face in their everyday livesand classroom experiences [5]. Gaining a greater understanding of these experiences, how theydiffer from those of U.S. students, and how faculty and TAs can better support internationalstudents not only benefits the U.S. in many ways but is also an ethical responsibility for faculty,staff, and others involved in the lives of these

For this work, we assessed whether this trend continuedduring the modified Fall 2020 offering (70 students over 3 classes in Quadmester 1, 66 inQuadmester 2 (data not used)). Similar to student grade data analysis, student surveys thatfocused on student learning attitudes and perceptions were administered, and responses werecompared to responses from previous in-person offerings.All data collection involving students was approved by the University of Toronto HealthSciences Research Ethics Board (Protocol # 34825) and the Toronto District School BoardExternal Research Review Committee (Protocol # 2017-2018-20).

Describe the ethical issues related to software testingStudents are assessed using various assignments, exams, quizzes, activities, and a semester-longgroup project. The grading scheme for the course (100%) is estimated to be: quizzes/activities/discussions(10%-30%), the group project (10%-40%), and exams (30%-60%). Note that in some years, thegrading scheme would change slightly depending on the approach used for the project. The text-book currently used in the course is “A Practitioners Guide to Software Test Design” by Lee [22].Other reading materials include class notes and tutorials on

who spend more time on screen activities are more likely to be unhappy. 4) Mental Health/Insecurity - iGens are less happy. They feel more anxiety and depression which can lead to suicide. 5) Being Irreligious – Less students identify with a religious group. Only 28% of high school seniors attend church. If religion conflicts with science, iGens must choose sides, with science usually being the default. 6) Isolation/Safety and Community – There is a strong desire for safety in all areas of life. They smoke less, drink less, and drive less. iGens want emotional safety, especially on campus. They think it is a good idea to help others but are less likely to do so. 7) Income Insecurity/Work and Work Ethic

In the realm of professional development, these outcomes range fromintellectual and competency development to value constructs (e.g., ethics, professionalresponsibility, sustainability affect) and constructs of self-efficacy and professional identity(including sense of belonging, work self-efficacy, and
, one can determine relativevariable importance by randomly permuting values of each attribute in the model anddetermining the effect on the model’s prediction accuracy [25].The model showed that GPA was by far the most important variable, followed by whether thesketches had been implemented or not. Additionally, the effect of the sketch exercise wasapproximately 20% as important as GPA when predicting TEE scores. This is not surprising;academic aptitude, as measured by GPA, is a better predictor of performance in current coursesthan one specific exercise. Other influencing factors of GPA, like work ethic, study habits,intelligence, and motivation, are likely the most important drivers of knowledge retention. Likethe least squares regression

(Fundamental)IntroductionThe next generation of STEM workers and leaders requires knowledge and skills in order toeffectively contribute and compete in the global workforce [1], [2]. More importantly, thesustainability of our planet requires citizens who can work collaboratively to think critically,make ethical and moral decisions, and solve problems [3].

, the CBL is entering the classroom as a pedagogical approach. It is being incorpo-rated into the human sciences, management and also, engineering. The CBL demands a real-worldperspective because it suggests that learning involves the student’s doing, thinking and actingwith respect to a subject of study (Sein-Echaluce 2016). This approach provides a learning frame-work focused on the student, which emulates the experiences of a modern workplace (Fidalgo-Blanco, Sein-Echaluce, et al. 2015). This is how the CBL takes advantage of students’ interest ingiving practical meaning to education while developing key competencies such as collaborativeand multidisciplinary work, decision-making, advanced communication, ethics, and leadership.Table 1 shows
perception is prevalent among engineering professionals(Faulkner, 2007). When mapped onto a space such as a classroom or professor’s office hours orstudent group project meeting, the techno-social dualism may cause conversations and discourseto center around technical issues instead of social issues such as ethics, diversity/inclusion, andmental health as an engineering student. These forms of discourse lead to what Cech (2014) callsthe culture of disengagement, where she finds that engineering students are less concerned withpublic welfare issues as they get socialized to the profession. This is not to say that the culturalscript of primarily centering discourse around technical issues in engineering spaces dictates thekinds of conversations that

The researcher conducted verbal member checks with the studentsin the late afternoon on the last day of the pilot and written member checks with the Femineer®teachers and instructor two weeks after the pilot. Member checks enable feedback from theparticipants in the study to gain their insight to see if the researcher captured all of the dataaccurately [40].Ethics The IRB (IRB-18-139) approved this study as full board review. All participants in thestudy were given an informed consent form that addressed the details of the study. The consentforms were

In school, that was math and science, so I wanted something where I could use my strengths in my career.Kelsea was also motivated by the possibility that she would be able to make a difference bymajoring in engineering: “Related to helping others, I wanted to see what personal impact Icould have on society…like through invention in engineering.” She said that her “stronger-than-normal work ethic” and “diligence” helped her succeed in her

The students were expected to present their findings, design analyses, andsolution or recommendations as necessary for the defined “problem.” The case-based learningmodules included a settlement design and monitoring study centered on the San Jacintomonument in Houston, Texas, and also included construction-based real recorded events ofinspection or observation of the installation of drilled shaft deep foundations. The idea was todevelop analytical thinking skills in the design case-based study, and to develop reflective, andsometimes, ethical judgement in the construction case-based studies.Some of the
