methodology that combinesthe many methods of creative problem-solving involves, “A) Planning your approach, B)Defining the correct problem/understanding the challenge, C) Generate Ideas/Alternatives –Brainstorm, D) Decide course of action/Preparing for action/Carry through/Implement, E)Acceptance and Evaluation,” [17]. It is also important to know that there is a common belief andvalue among engineering students that the skill of problem-solving is necessary for future careersuccess [21]. Students apply different combinations of the problem-solving steps based on thetype of problem given, prior knowledge before completing the problem, and beliefs about theusefulness of problem-solving in future careers [18]. This makes it difficult to tailor

On the whole, students acknowledged the more rigorous demands of college-level academics: 71% reported they have to work harder than they did in high school to get thegrades they want and another 24% indicated they have to work the same amount. Only 6% - asingle student - reported that they have to work less than they did in high school to get the gradesthey want.3.2 Data CollectionThe study draws on several data sources:Faculty interviews were conducted by Author B with Author A about teaching a thermal fluidsdesign

Your discussion should holistically address the most crucial human contexts and ethical stakes of your work. To help you discuss these impacts thoughtfully, we've provided several prompts below. While we expect your response to address at least some of these, you should treat these as guidelines rather than a checklist. a. Is your recommendation feasible? Who would have the power to implement it? Who might have the right to object? b. How would the impacts of your recommendations

in U.S. (21/Male)Data collection and analysis To collect the data, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Each participant took partin an in-person interview lasting 20 to 40 minutes. A semi-structured protocol was used to askthe students about the following topics: a) cultural and family background, b) parentalexpectations and support for education, d) motivations for choosing their major and theirexpected level of education and goals, d) parental beliefs about their major choice, as well as theanticipated level of education and goals. The interviews were audio-recorded and subsequentlytranscribed. The transcribed data were analyzed based on the research questions using thethematic analysis method proposed by Braun and Clarke [9

That is, the teaching practices andlearning activities allowed, even encouraged, in one sociopolitical context may be altogetherbanned in another, shaping the types of learning activities students have access to acrosscontexts. However, little is known about the ways these sociopolitical factors are manifested inengineering classrooms, or the impacts of these issues on student learning.Taken collectively, there is a need to understand the ways contextual factors influence howfaculty define and implement sociotechnical design education. Thus, the purpose of this researchis to (a) research the influences that support or constrain sociotechnical design pedagogies acrosscontexts, (b) study how these contextual influences shape faculty

The 80% threshold is used inthe logistic regression to distinguish between high and low performance, aligning with traditionalgrading scales where 80% typically marks a “B” grade, indicating solid competence. It serves as aclear cutoff for identifying students at risk of under-performing, allowing for targeted interventionsbefore significant difficulties arise.We evaluated seven logistic

Many faculty developers are actively seeking ways to bridge thisgap and foster racial equity, including workshops for culturally responsive pedagogy. Facultydevelopment workshops and seminars are inherently constrained by limited time, limitedconnection to and responsiveness to each faculty’s context, and limited ability to exploreeffective interventions.
