Proceedings of the 2022 ASEE North Central Section Conference Copyright © 2022, American Society for Engineering EducationFigure 4: Average Number of Keyword Results Across All Databases3.3.2 Difficulties of Quantifying Keyword AssociationsThere were two major difficulties encountered when searching through the databases using themethods described above. First, the search method had the potential to double count the studies.While searching for literature for the qualitative portion of this report there were some instancesof commonality, but the quantity of results from each database clearly shows these are limited.These results show that while double counting is possible, the variation in number of returns isan accurate reflection
learning engagement, students’ motivation, andcognitive load on SE students’ studies (e.g. by de Almeida et al.20) suggested using gamificationin software engineer programs. Gamification is using the game design tools outside the gamingcontext such as in education21.During COVID-19, almost all regular in-classroom education switched to online education. Allthe studies in this period discussed the transition of traditional teaching to online education andthe impact of this transition22,23,24. Barr et al.25 provided reflections on the rapid transition toonline delivery for SE education. In this sense, the study by Motogna et al.26 observed a trend ofreducing exams and increasing project-based assessments. Another work27 discussed approachesto
effects with care, and the surveyasked students to reflect back to the beginning of the term.Implications and Non-Implications We end by emphasizing some implications of this work, and perhaps more importantly,some non-implications of this work. First, we see an important implication in the hiring of morediverse faculty. In order for students to experience positive MRMEs, there is a need for morefaculty that can serve as role models based on a variety of social markers and personal identities.To draw on the vaccine metaphor, we emphasize that while increasing instructor diversity amongmultiple

' proactivity in socialization (e.g., [20], [23]), theresearch in the context of engineering organizations was largely untouched. Morespecifically, there is rare research about newly hired engineers' proactivity in the aerospace &defense (A&D) industry. A&D organizations employ engineering graduates from multipleengineering majors and offer a wide variety of positions [20]. In particular, A&Dorganizations recruit electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, computer-related engineers,along with recruiting graduates with explicit aerospace engineering degrees. Therefore,organizations in the A&D industry reflect the features that many organizations may haveacross different engineering disciplines. Hence, to address the above-mentioned gaps
students appreciating the in-person courseexperience during a time when most of their other courses had been moved online. The increasedteacher scores may have been a reflection of the students’ appreciation of face-to-face interactionwith their instructors, or perhaps a reflection of the students’ acknowledgment that in-personinstruction during this time may have required more effort and preparation than in mostsemesters. Depending on the experience of the instructors in this category, the increase may alsobe partially attributed to the additional experience gained by the instructors between
of:performance accomplishments, vicarious learning, social or verbal persuasion, and emotionalarousal [4, 11]. Performance accomplishments or “mastery of experiences” are believed to be amajor source of self-efficacy beliefs. They are past direct experiences that demonstrate to aperson that they are able to successfully perform a future task (i.e., if you have done it before andperformed well, you can do it again). High self-efficacy evolves from success in pastexperiences and low self-efficacy from failures at activities within the given domain. Vicariousexperiences are observations of others successfully completing a task (i.e., if they can do it, socan I). However, since observing is not a direct reflection on one’s one skill it is believed tohave a

While the pandemic created many barriers to the capstonedesign experience, it also provided a substantial real-world constraint for students to assess andaddress. In this respect, the pandemic was an unanticipated learning opportunity for students tolearn how to improvise, innovate, and adapt over the course of their design experience.A limited number of studies have examined how the capstone design experience changed duringthe pandemic. Jamieson reflected on the challenges during the pandemic and strategies used topreserve the quality of the students’ learning experience in a chemical engineering capstone, asenior design course and a transdisciplinary freshman course. One of the key
reflected on their concepts acrossboth concept generation sessions. Our research goals were to identify how designers consideredpeople and whether their process changed with the request to explicitly include drawings ofpeople within sketches. The conceptual sketches and associated “think-aloud” transcripts werethen analyzed to determine the impact of the representational prompt on engineers’ thoughtprocesses and design outcomes. With a simple intervention to represent people within sketches,we found several positive effects on how engineers considered people during design.BackgroundHuman-centered design (HCD) has been an important approach in engineering since the 1980s.This framework is commonly used in design when solutions to problems are

The number “1” in the (1,2) positiondepicts designer 2’s reliance on designer 1 for the same function. The relations reflect the surveyresponses of the designers and are directional and of equal magnitude. The disconnect of nodesthree, four, and five to the other designers in this DSM indicates a weak connection of the networkat this particular threshold and function [61]. Twelve DSMs are constructed representing the threeleadership functions and three communications modes at two distinct frequency levels. Designer (Sink) 1

Hands-on learning also proves to be challenging, such as medical studentsreporting that “online classes proved to be an excellent opportunity for theoretical subjects likebasic sciences but not suitable for clinical subjects like clinical skills” [4]. These challenges areall reflected in engineering design education, where social group dynamic is vital for projectsuccess, and the hands-on component cannot be conveyed as effectively online.Many of the concerns around the impact of online learning on students and the effectiveness ofcontent delivery for engineering design education can be addressed with
]. Collectively, our findings are in line with caring pedagogy research [39] thatreports increased motivation and learning outcomes on the part of students when they perceivefaculty as caring about them by getting to know students and providing constructive feedback[40]. This line of work suggests that part of why learner-centered instruction is effective is thatstudents increase in their engagement and see more opportunities to learn, such as from feedbackand from peers. Faculty who care and hold high-but-reachable expectations for students may seesimilar expectations and behaviors reflected by students.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1623105.

Second, it allowed the professor the opportunity to understand which students required moreindividual support and design coaching in the classroom. Those that were independently problem solvingand constructing could be left to their own devices. Those that were stuck were offered more guidance andprompting to help move the activity along. If the activity were done in teams, those that struggled to getstarted might not get the opportunity to independently construct limited fidelity prototypes due to the natureof team dynamics and would miss this critical part of the design realization

Several studies emphasizecontinuous PD that occurs periodically throughout the school year to best support teachers asthey make adjustments to their lessons and teaching practices. [17,18,19,20]. In addition to PDduration, teachers in AMP! learn how to shift their current lessons to include more effectivestrategies such as inquiry-based and team based lessons [21,22]. Inquiry based teaching can bedescribed as an open communication between teachers and students to freely ask questions topromote conceptual understanding and puts an emphasis on lesson
characteristicsof engineers in the future. Writing in the year of 2020, when engineering education yet againfaces looming paradigm shift driven in part by a global pandemic and major powers’ adjustmentin attitudes and strategies to globalization, we attempt to reassess visions of “engineers for thefuture,” as reflected through policy discourses in the United States and China, two major playersin global engineering education. For this purpose, we present a careful reading of recent policydocuments published by the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the ChineseMinistry of Education (MoE).The NAE (2018) report Understanding the Educational and Career Pathways of Engineersresulted from a study commissioned by the Academy to “understand

Also, it shouldbe noted that job description may not provide a complete reflection of the type of work an engineer does onthe job. The nature of the work conducted by engineers evolves as time and projects go on, meaning theactual activities of a practicing engineering may be very different from those that were written into the jobadvertisement. In addition, the rate of occurrence of activities within a job posting is unlikely to reflect theproportion of time spent on each activity by the engineer. While acknowledging these limitations, the researchteam does not claim that the findings of this paper
groups (SA4)When students reflected on what they needed from their study groups, some trends were similarto those of lab groups. For example, 21.3% of students prioritized individual accountability intraditional learning while only 14.1% did so in remote learning. This downward trend is similarto what students said about their lab groups. With regard to individual accountability, whilestudents made more frequent comments about interpersonal and social skills in remote learningwith regard to their lab groups, the increase in these types of comments in their study groups wasmuch larger. Students in remote learning mentioned interpersonal and social skills with respectto their peer groups at over twice the frequency (22.7%) of students in

They were encouraged to include as many of the human needs (of the Matrix of BasicHuman Needs and Satisfiers) that the people of Shatila ought to have currently missing

Interview questions that probed relative importance or interest in specific career pathswere not asked; as such, the coded mentions of a career path were considered to represent astudent’s awareness of a career possibility. Additionally, the research questions and analyticapproach presented aimed to explore what students perceived as possible rather than plausible ormost interesting.A code was counted if it was mentioned at least once by a participant.

The significance of faculty being available to meet may reflect the significantdemands that especially minoritized women face in managing multiple priorities on their time.One ethnographic study recounts how Inez, a minoritized multiethnic female student, felt hinderedacademically by her professors’ lack of availability outside of office hours [11]. Anotherminoritized female student, Kitatoi, expressed her frustration with attempting to receive help fromher instructors outside of office hours [39]. As a single mother, Kitatoi had competing prioritiesand a more flexible instructor could have better assisted her learning alongside her continued focuson other important obligations. Cole [41] also found that minoritized students believe
ofengineering, and a time for students to reflect upon and decide the majors and specialties theywill pursue thereon (Ngambeki, 2009). It is also a time when students’ beliefs of engineering andits education are reinforced (Hutchison et al., 2006). The content and experiences offered aspart of these courses present an opportunity to support students in developing their beliefs andattitudes towards engineering. We teach students that engineers design, apply math andscience to solve problems, program, make decisions, have different areas of specialty, but oftenmiss or convey only implicitly that engineering at its core is a human endeavor, one that ispracticed for people, with people, and as people (Fila et al., 2014).

between higher educationinstitutions and governments in securing their repatriation. Back in their home countries, manyinternational students faced issues with unstable internet access, limited space to work and studyin their own homes, and time zone differences which made it difficult to adapt to and learn in theremote setting. These difficulties were compounded for Asian international students by a rise inanti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significantincreases in Sinophobic slurs on Twitter, social media, message boards, and other platforms ofAmerican culture reflected a shift toward blaming the Chinese for the COVID-19 pandemic andamplified negative bias against both international and U.S. Asian students

To mitigate thisthreat, I engaged in memoing processes to help me to reflect upon all of the ways in which mysubjectivities could influence the findings. Additionally, I engaged in a “critical friends” protocolwith trusted mentors and colleagues to ensure that my framework was appropriate, my analysismethods were sound, and that my findings were representative of what the data present [33].Results & DiscussionSTEM IdeologyA recurring theme among all four participants was the reflection upon and

Several assessmentswere used to determine if the online students attained the same experience and success as thestudents in the traditional face to face section. One assessment was a quantitative analysiscomparing the grades of each section. Also, two surveys were created for the students to takeand reflect on their work on the projects and the course. The first survey was given after the firstdesign project and focused on how the course structure aided in teamwork on the project. Thesecond survey was
presented above. Such advice isstrongly reflective of a postfeminist sensibility. This is not to say that the women on the siteidentity personally with postfeminism as a philosophy or are even aware of it. The advice theyprovide, however, aligns with dominant postfeminist narratives and cultural ideas about howwomen can achieve success in the contemporary workplace. They emphasize the need forwomen to overcome any other issues or obstacles they may encounter as individuals (whether ornot they perceive of them as being related to gender). Women on the site promote the idea of a‘can-do’ woman who takes control of the situation and is confident.Minimizing and ReframingOne common piece of advice to women often with respect to gendered barriers was to
