They describe evaluation from different viewpoints and we presentthem here to show examples of the diversity of methods employed, and some research outcomes andreflections. • One paper described the use of specific assessment methods including competency rubrics, individual development plans, and ePortfolios for evaluation (Chang, Semma, Fowler, & Arroyave, 2021). The rubrics encompassed professional and technical skills including: 1) interdisciplinary knowledge generation, 2) collaboration, 3) conflict resolution, 4) oral communication, 5) written communication, 6) self-reflection, 7

Students also reflected on their observations on thecontrast between exclusion and inclusion. This resulted in the identification of: the location ofrepresentation gap that became influential; socially-mediated mechanisms that actually lead

The observations of the authors thus farsuggest that many STEM university students reflect the iGen trends and are no different.Helping iGen Prepare for the Workplace and LifeAs students enter the university, there is an implied requirement to help students mature fromwhere they are to where they need to be upon graduation. Van Treuren and Jordan addressed therole of the university in the formation of student maturity [18]. The university is a communitywhere personal development occurs. A function of the university is embodied in the phrase “inloco parentis.” Legally, it means “in place of a parent” and refers to the obligation of a person ororganization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent.

In after-school and out-of-school settings, educational robotics became uniquely supportive for applyingconstructionism to engineering design education [22]. Similar to the early promotion of Logo,the hands-on engineering design affordances of educational robotics is purported to advance stu-dents’ knowledge and skills by flattening the hierarchy between concrete and formal thinking[23], [24], [25], [15]. As children engage in robotics activities they are given the opportunity to learn-by-doing,a foundation to constructionist design that reflects real world enterprises and encourages the ma-terial exploration of “big ideas” [26], [12], [2], [27].

They re-conceptualized learning as a collaborative action as opposed to thetransmission of knowledge from a teacher to students [23] and overcame their frustrations andstruggles with the program. Accordingly, they began to play the role of a collaborator and partnerwith children and developed productive and meaningful learning experiences for themselves andthe children.In our work, for several years, we have been implementing workshops for teachers and theirstudents, to allow them to jointly learn the fundamental concepts, engineering design, andengineering practices through hands-on learning with robotics.

level contributes to this vision. Despite some gains in recent decades, women faculty inengineering are still underrepresented. Between 2006 and 2016, the proportion of women facultyin engineering grew from 16% to 23% at the assistant level, from 11.9% to 18.3% at theassociate level, and from 3.8% to 10.6% at the full professor level [2], [3]. While the proportionof women faculty at the lower ranks has increased significantly, the limited representation ofwomen at higher faculty ranks limits their potential for reaching leadership roles andcontribution with significant decision-making to influence engineering education [4].

These findings are aligned with prior studies that claimed that the PMT is not asufficient tool itself to improve physics content knowledge (Triona & Klahr, 2003; Zacharia, andOlympiou, 2011). Identifying false affordances that leads to misconceptions and perceptible affordances of PMT,can help to inform the design of visuo-haptics simulations that considers the learner as the centerof the design process. For instance, a perceptible affordance of the PMT we identified was thatthe sense of touch helps participants to explain and reflect about their reasoning of each scenario.We

The grading aspect holds students accountable for theirperformance, with letter grades maintaining a higher level of engagement than do pass/failgrades. In support of the grading and evaluation, VIP programs require students to maintainrigorous documentation of their efforts, typically in the form of VIP notebooks or institution-approved electronic portfolios.

By comparison, second-year chemical engineering studentsretained this tendency to reflect on vicarious experiences; however, their perception of theexperiences illustrated a gradual shift from seemingly competitive comparisons to comparisonsthat led to feelings of camaraderie and the formation of peer support networks. Moreover, CHE205 students were also influenced by an experience described much less frequently by first-yearstudents: personal mastery of material.One of the first longitudinal, qualitative investigations of engineering students’ efficacy beliefs,this study supports the tenants of self-efficacy
