This involves justifyingtradeoffs and prioritizing different aspects, a hallmark of argumentation. In addition, engineeringresearch requires significant evidence-based argumentation for new designs to be accepted andfor the adoption of innovative practices. As such, argumentation is deeply embedded into theinformal and formal practices of professional engineers.The Role of Arguments and Argumentation in Engineering EducationArgumentation theory has been used in science and mathematics education research over the pastfew decades but has been largely

Women’s Pursuit of Academic Careers through Knowledge and NetworkingAbstractThe under-representation of women and U.S. ethnic minorities in science, technology,mathematics, and engineering (STEM) is a well established fact. There are numerous studiesthat disclose reasons for this under-representation at all steps along the academic process. Inresponse to this research and in the interest of bridging the Ph.D. and postdoctoral scholar stepsinto an academic career, the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin,the George R.

? How do they move from one idea toanother? Research in psychology has shown that decision-making often relies on simplifiedcognitive heuristics. Heuristics are reasoning processes that do not guarantee the best solution,but often lead to potential solutions by providing a “short-cut” within cognitive processing1.Using a case-study framework, this research identified and categorized types of heuristicsengineers used to explore potential designs solutions. Using a think-aloud protocol, fiveengineers with varying levels of experience were asked to develop conceptual designs for asolar-powered cooking device that was inexpensive, portable, and suitable for family use.Following the think-aloud session, the engineers participated in a retrospective

it had the unfortunate impact thatassignment questions with more scope for students to make decisions were shifted later in theterm as this type of question is much easier to write for functions than for arrays. This also meantthat students had less practice with programming questions requiring the use of their judgement.The course project in MTE121 was scaled back significantly, becoming closer to a two partassignment rather than an open-ended design project. Accordingly, the weighting of theassignments and projects changed in the course syllabus (assignments increased from 10% to19% in 2020, and the project decreased from 15% to 6% in 2020)2.2.2 AssignmentsThe most significant change to the weekly assignments for 2020 was the shift away
