These results may be due to how these students had theireducation during the pandemic, being students who had most of their

University Dr. Bruk T. Berhane received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Mary- land in 2003. He holds an M.S. in engineering management from the George Washington University and a Ph.D. in minority and urban education from the University of Maryland. In 2003, Bruk was hired by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), where he worked on nanotech- nology and microsystems. In 2005 he left JHUAPL for a fellowship with the National Academies and researched methods of increasing the number of women in engineering. Later that year, he briefly served as a mathematics instructor in Baltimore City High Schools. From 2005 through 2018, Dr. Berhane directed
alsofeatured opportunities to develop a shared lexicon for ARDEI concepts and interrogate one's ownidentity and positionality.By making this a required course, we set the expectation that considering the societal impacts ofresearch is an important and natural part of the entire research process. We chose to expand anexisting professional development course for graduate students that originally solely coveredtopics like laboratory safety, library use, grant writing, and communication, to include ARDEIand social justice content. Into this predominately passive content, we added active and complexreflections and discussions of identity, bias, and (in)justice. We believe that developing thisreflective skill early sets students up to think about social
rated application materials for a laboratory manager position. Thematerials had been randomly assigned either a male name or a female name and were otherwiseidentical. The faculty (both male and female) rated the male candidates significantly morecompetent and hirable than the identical female candidates. The faculty assigned higher salariesto the male applicants than to the female applicants. Males were given a 14% increase in meansalary over the females. The faculty also offered less career mentoring to the female candidatethan the male candidate. Interestingly, the gender, scientific field, age, and tenure status of thefaculty were not significant in these results. The observed gender bias seems to be pervasiveamong all faculty.It was found

classroom in general.The participants in this study indicated that it is important to them that teaching strategiespromote collaboration and discussion in class. Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Related to this,participants suggested that the frequency of field activities should be
engineering today.He extends his argument in a critique of the common practice of blaming teachers and facilitiesfor the apparent inadequacies of high school physics instruction and focuses instead on thesystem that allows colleges to dictate curricular design in high schools through entrance exams.The cure, he argues, is not “better prepared teachers, better laboratory facilities, better apparatus,and an attendant who is mechanically inclined” [p. 545]. A much better remedy is “knowingboys, understanding schools, and having some idea of what a problem in education looks likeand of how to go about to solve it” [p. 545]. He also emphasizes the role of enthusiasm andmotivation in education: “when enthusiasm and right motive precede, not only is the

topics of Boolean logic design and microprocessor architecture. This course consistsof traditional lecture class times as well as self-paced laboratory projects. The second courseused in this study is a junior level mechanical engineering course titled MEE342: Principles ofMechanical Design covering the important modes of material failure and the analysis and designof basic machine elements. This course is presented through a traditional lecture with a large-scale group project. It will be shown that the elements and integration of the gamified featuresbetween the two courses were very similar though the courses are very different in their content,age level, and assessment. This common approach allowed for the comparison of perceptionsand
. Most instructors assess student learningwith regards to Mohr’s circle in a primarily summative manner, via a graded homeworkassignment and examination problems given after the content is covered in class. One instructoremploys a formative approach by evaluating student responses on a pre-class assignment, duringclass, and an end-of-class one-minute paper. Some instructors incorporate additional assessmentsof Mohr’s circle concepts in tandem with shear strength laboratory experiments later in thecourse.Assessment of Mohr’s Circle Concepts in a First Geotechnical Engineering CourseAt a subset of five institutions (The Citadel, Merrimack College, Northeastern University, SaintMartin’s University, and the University of Minnesota Duluth), a three
