©Introduction and Objective Most engineering programs expect that their students will develop intellectually inaddition to acquiring knowledge and skills in a specific engineering discipline. However, nearlyall measures of student achievement are focused on content knowledge, process ability (e.g.design), or communication skills; students are assumed to be developing intellectually, especiallyin their ability to think critically, but rarely are meaningful data collected and reported whichsupport such an assumption. However, the recent movement towards outcomes assessm ent nowrequires reliable measures of students’ abilities to make reasoned decisions as they solvecomplex problems. For example, in the U. S. the Accreditation Board for Engineering
professional connectedness.24 The increased sense of professionalconnectedness associated with engaging in service is characterized through the five stages(exploration, clarification, realization, activation and internalization) of Delve et al.’s ServiceLearning model.32 Based on this framework, multiple iterations of a preliminary student survey,and student interviews, evidence of validity and reliability were established. Thus, theEngineering Professional Responsibility Assessment (EPRA) is an appropriate tool for assessingthe development of social responsibility in engineering students.24Previous results using EPRA found that female engineering students had more positive SRattitudes than male engineering students.24 It was also found that students
students whowere new to PSVT performed better, though the difference was not significant (p = 0.698 basedon the Welch two sample t-test). However, there was a significant difference (p=0.007) in theaverage time spent solving each PSVT problem for participants who were previously exposed toPSVT (M=24.6 s, SD =4.1 s) and those who were not (M=39.8 s, SD=13.1 s). Although studentsnew to PSVT spent more time in the solving process, further analysis showed there was nocorrelation between performance and time spent on PSVT problems (Pearson correlationcoefficient ( ) ).Within the current sample, there was no significant difference (p=0.314) in average PSVTperformance between male participants (M=71.4%, SD=24%), and female
filter is set to “2020–21,” each state is included in thegraph except for State_1, which was only able to provide data for the 2018–19 school year.Changing the school year to “2018–19” then causes State_1’s data to show up in the graph whilealso causing State_5’s data to disappear since they did not provide data for that year.Figure 4: Example visual from the data dashboardOther differences in the data between states are more problematic and not as easily resolved. Forexample, one state originally provided us with data on students’ race and ethnicity usingcategories that were not mutually exclusive, which we had to exclude entirely from thedashboard until they were able to recompile their data and provide us with mutually exclusivecounts.

Survey Tool & Data CollectionWe developed our primary survey tool for this study, for which we have approval through ourinstitutional review board for research with human subjects, by adapting questions to addressMezirow’ s phases of transformative education [3]. We delivered the survey to all students in ourECE/CS Senior Design Capstone course at the end of the spring term. This allowed us tocapture responses across multiple years one time per student and to determine whether theyparticipated in a CoP at any point during their junior or senior years. Initially, we asked foridentifying and demographic information
mastery of 21st-century skills isimportant to promote the advancement of STEM education and learners’ success in thisfield (Bybee, 2010; Eguchi, 2016). In other words, if a teacher can develop students’ 21st-century skills, the students are more likely to be successful in STEM fields in the future.RQ2: How situational are teachers’ subjective theories of troublemaking behaviorand troublemakers? According to participants, “being defiant” is an all-agreed troublemaking behavior.This indication was supported by P2’s perceptions that students now have more behaviorissues, and that teachers are losing respect from students or parents. Previous researchersalso pointed out that disobedience was the most unacceptable student behaviors forteachers (Sun

the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computer Page 14.17.2codes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems. Access to mainframecomputers and proficiency in such programming languages as FORTRAN and PASCAL werenecessary for solving complex heat transfer problems. As the personal computers became moreavailable and affordable, and as the operating systems became more user friendly, theirapplications were gradually integrated into introductory heat transfer courses. Simpleprogramming languages such as BASIC were used for solving simple heat transfer problems inlate 1980s or early 1990s. During

Students use the website to schedule and attend team formation meetings where theynot only learn more about the project(s), they also help to formulate its deliverable and thusdictate project direction. Once students have more or less settled into teams, they update theirstatus to “joined” and seek instructor approval, usually around week eight. The project modulesare then utilized by instructors to track team progress and host all project documentation throughthe end of the year.In this way, teams are self-selected and self-aggregated; students must justify their presence totheir peers and show

instructors might want toemphasize the importance of breaking down concepts as students learn them, asking questions,and/or make sure to acknowledge the hard work and time their students are putting into learningnew concepts. This might provide students with positive feelings or attitude when learning aconcept. On the other hand, when it comes to participants P1 and P2’s intrinsic feelings aboutbeing excited to learn, it is unclear how to make other students feel the same way. However, P1’snote about appreciating when instructors engage students more frequently during class may be ashort-term way to keep students engaged. Although this is not an intrinsic desire to learn, it mayhelp keep students more involved in the learning process, and this may
