process.Student ShortcomingsMathematics is an ancient discipline dating back to before the early Greek and Babyloniandynasties. Although math has been studied for centuries, there is great hesitation from studentswhen it comes to utilizing their skills outside of the math classrooms. From a mathematicalperspective, one way to explain this is that students are severely lacking in critical thinkingskills. As Stevenson and Stigler put it, “In mathematics, the weakness is not limited toinadequate mastery of routine operations, but reflects a poor understanding of how to use © American Society for Engineering Education, 20212021 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35347mathematics in solving meaningful problems

before the 20th century, most of the minimumrequirements for public education began to be codified between 1918-1930. The World Wars affectedboth public health and education policy. Not only did it become apparent that there was inequality in thelevel of education, but there were also health needs which were causing concern. The poor health andeducation systems were a national security issue. Nurses became more prevalent in schools just prior tothe first world war (Cubberly 1919). In 1908 with a Tuberculosis outbreak in the United Kingdom, otherconcerns about ventilation and a healthy environment were also identified (Hays 1908). In 1918, everyU.S. state finally had a minimum requirement for elementary education. Reflections on how quickly

They propose the idea of a phenomenological approach to teach engineeringethics where students examine what it is to be an ethical engineer through a series of readingsabout ethical engineers, personal interviews with engineers, and their personal reflection abouttheir own character and values. Atwood and Read-Daily [17] propose a creative fictionassignment requiring the students to generate and reflect upon an ethical dilemma of personalinterest, while exercising creativity and communication skills.

The course format did not reflect the pedagogical techniques it introduces: the lectures are largely traditional PowerPoint presentations and lack significant active learning. 3. Many, if not most, engineering faculty have not had any significant formal teaching training nor been exposed to the topics of the course. The course for the first four offerings was only taught by a total of two instructors. Therefore, a major opportunity existed for improving overall engineering instruction – and, by extension, student learning – at Villanova if the course was reformulated to provide

Specifically, the modality was invoked for a graduate course withan enrollment of less than twenty students. For live lectures, Zoom was utilized. For everylecture, a recording of it was made and a document camera was used. The document cameralively showed the instant hand writings of the teacher regarding any explanations or notes. Theauthor also relied on personal reflection and internal comparisons between the perceivedplusses or minuses for full-online teaching versus in-person teaching.In addition, a survey mechanism was employed.

The survey, at thetime of this study, did not consider non-binary gender populations and have since rectified thisegregious oversight in subsequent iterations. Given the status of the survey, there was a cleardifference between genders when it came to computing identity, specifically in recognition(males scored 3.4 overall while women scored 3.0). This showed that women who were highachieving in computing still showed signs of feeling less acknowledged as computing peoplethan male students. This means that, at home, at school, and in social circles, women do not feelas if they are being recognized as

In the class, Ithink there's 4 people who are not a white male.” In the statement above, the student stated thatthey see a lot of women and there are people who are not a white male. Given theoverrepresentation of white men in engineering, the perceived lack of white men in this student’sexperience serves as an indicator of the presence of diversity. These phrases align with the themeof visual markers because the student describes what they see in engineering using race and gender.Diversity of Thought: Beyond what was directly observable, participants also noted differences inthe way people think about and solve problems as

There aredangers, however, that as qualitative research becomes more common the ways in which itis used fail to reflect quality approaches. One early work critiqued inconsistencies betweenespoused and practiced epistemologies in qualitative papers (Koro-Ljungberg & Douglas,2008). Other authors have critiqued interpretive methods, such as thematic analysis, forresulting in superficial descriptions of phenomena that do not provide meaningful insight(Jackson & Mazzei, 2012; St. Pierre, 2000; St. Pierre & Jackson, 2014) Another concern isthat the qualitative approaches described in papers and textbooks can become seen aschecklists that must be followed, rather than

As thesingle laser beam energy is distributed over a larger area, the light intensity is also distributednon-uniformly. This results in a variation in the intensity of the laser sheet in Gaussiandistribution. Therefore, the intensity is inversely proportional to the area of the laser sheetproduced.
