vision. Thecommittee that produced The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century(2004) explicitly state their goal in terms of increasing public appreciation of engineers andengineering. Table 1 on the next page summarizes the aspirations articulated in The Engineer of2020. For our purposes, the second item in the category “Our Image and the Profession” isparticularly relevant in its emphasis on “the union of professionalism, technical knowledge,social and historical awareness, and traditions that serve to make engineers competent to addressthe world’s complex and changing challenges” (p. 49). The word “union” reflects the integrationof heterogenous knowledge that is required for engineering competency.There is, however, a
reflected in the growing number ofwomen who joined the workforce. Marriage rates among young people declined as peoplewaited longer to marry. Birthrates also declined (in comparison to the boom of the 1950s),household sizes dropped, and divorce rates grew, so that by 1978, women headed over 14percent of American families. Although occupations continued to remain highly segregatedalong gender lines, more and more women began to enter the workforce. By 1978, women madeup 42% of wage earners, up from 32% in 1950. Among working women, 78 held jobs in sales,service, or factories, while only 22% worked in managerial or professional occupations—and themajority of those were in teaching and nursing [16]. These segregation patterns continuedthrough the

To be effective, allyship necessitatescontinuous self-reflection, an understanding of privilege, and active efforts to dismantleoppressive systems [58, 62-65]. Allyship has garnered increased attention in discussions oninequality and social justice [58, 64, 66]. It has evolved to include its application as a tool forpromoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in various contexts, from workplaces tohigher education institutions [52, 61, 67].In practice, allyship can help foster inclusive environments and reduce discrimination [67-68]. Itcan create a culture of respect, understanding, and belonging, especially when those in positionsof power actively support marginalized groups and advocate

The closed-ended questions on stressors askedparticipants to reflect on their graduate education experience and indicate the extent to whicheach of the 21 stressors disrupted their ability to perform academically and/or professionally. Another question asked participants to rate their experience as a graduate student at theirinstitution. Response options for the 21 stressors and one satisfaction questions were arrayed ona five-point Likert scale from 0 (none) to 4 (severely), and a five-point Likert scale from 1 (Veryunsatisfied) to 5 (Very satisfied), respectively.

The nationaldiscussion on the shortage of engineers in the market started as early as 1959, with empiricalevidence of the need for more engineers and scientists to meet the demands of the growingcountry [3]. The conversation initially focused on increasing the workforce to compete withother countries [4]. Recently, the conversation shifted toward the need for skilled engineers whobring new ideas and perspectives to the profession. Reflecting this trend, stakeholders, includingNAE [5], NSPE [6], and ASEE [7], are

to pause and reflect on how these experiences may impact our classrooms going forward.In fact, some of these experiences may actually have produced encouraging outcomes and if so,we need to take the time to assess and evaluate how to translate them back into the learningenvironment of our classrooms going forward. One may even be able to argue that the onlineexperience had a positive impact on learners that, for one reason or another, were notcomfortable interacting in an in-person classroom. For these students, we might say that theonline experience gave them a front-row seat and perhaps allowed them to engage morecomfortably. For other students, the exact opposite might be the case. Additionally, with onlinelearning there were also new

It doesso with five parts, delivered in the following order: 1) The instructor verbalizes the normalcy and surmountability of adversity in college and in the course more specifically. 2) Students are asked to complete a writing exercise in which they reflect on the challenges they have already experienced in college and how those challenges might change with time. 3) Students are then presented with stories written in the first-person and attributed to more senior students. These stories are tailored to the classroom environment following focus group input from prior students in the course. The

Analysis ofdiscrepant cases that fall outside the norm is a critical strategy in qualitative research [7]–[9].The uncertainty and inconsistency involved in such outlier cases do not invalidate theparticipants’ stories but instead reflect the complexities in the phenomena under study [5], in thiscase, mentorship. Discrepant cases can provide clues to generating innovative hypotheses andunderstandings not readily apparent in more common responses [5], [8], [10], and, as such,require close examination to reveal their meaning [8].We leverage attachment theory as a psychological and developmental lens [11], [12] to guidethis study.

Instead of recordingperformance on each assessment as a single score, we look for and track demonstrations of masteryobjective by objective. This approach helps students to break away from the scoring mentality and focusbetter on their strengths and weakness as reflected in their progress with respect to the mastery objectives.Mastery is defined as a redundant demonstration of an ability to perform a given objective.

After reflection onhow these ratios may affect buckling behavior, students induced two buckling scenarios bypressing on the top of the model to simulate a concentrated axial load as shown in Figure 3. Thefirst scenario involves a completely unbraced length, in which the column buckles along theweak axis in single curvature. The second scenario involves bracing along the weak axis at mid-height, in which the column will

Constructive well-designed feedback has also been shown to improve student motivationand self-efficacy beliefs [13], [14]. Academic integrity research argues that meaningfulsupportive feedback empowers students, reducing their likelihood to cheat [15].

First Year Seminars (FYS) – special sections of a three-credit course in the university’s core curriculum, distinguished from regular core sections in that they enrolled only first- semester students and included additional learning outcomes focused on developing oral communication, information literacy, teamwork, time management, and learning reflection/metacognition skills. 2.

primary focus of this paper is goal 2, students attitudes and values. Goals related tostudent attitudes and values reflect the expectation that through their participation in thecompetition, students will expand their views on what coding and computer science entail, and thepotential role these subject areas might play in students’ future coursework and career goals. Byvirtue of the curriculum’s emphasis on social justice and activism, it is expected that students willgain a deepened understanding of these societal issues and how the areas of coding and computerscience can be used to promote positive changes therein. These goals focus on high studentstanding on awareness of potential uses of coding skills, empowerment and agency to affect
