The professor being reviewedfirst writes a reflective memo on the process he or she used to plan and deliver the course. Next,colleagues interview two groups of students from the professor’s course. And finally, thecolleague reviewers write a summary memo based on information in the reflective memo andstudent interviews. Focus groups were formed of participants from over a two-year period.

This work describes a pilot program called the “Interactive LearningCollaborative” that supports trained teaching assistants (TAs) in designing and implementing interactiveactivities and retrospective post-assessments in lectures, in partnership with faculty. The objectives of thepilot were to 1) provide engineering TAs opportunities to practice activity design and implementation, 2)improve students’ comprehension of the material through peer interaction and reflection in lectures, andin doing so, 3) demonstrate to faculty these pedagogies and their positive impact on student perception.In the fall of 2021, TAs met with a

diverse workforce brings moreperspectives to problem-solving. Unfortunately, conventional engineering education has oftenignored Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice (DEIBJ) issues, perpetuating biasesand supressing underrepresented groups. Due to this inequity, educators need to create inclusiveenvironments that value and empower all students and reflect engineering design’s collaborativeand multidisciplinary nature. Inclusive Design (ID) values solutions that are accessible and user-friendly to individuals of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities, which aligns with engineeringeducation goals. ID encourages empathy and teamwork by having designers consider diverseuser group needs throughout the design process. By

The students then expressed their opinions on their design projectusing a photovoice reflection of their learning.

ThroughPSTs’ reflections, post-assessments, and lesson plans, we gathered their perceptions regardingthe integration of entrepreneurial mindset within their content and future teaching.

During thosemeetings the instructor played the role of “the client” or “the senior engineer in the consultingfirm.” These meetings prevented the students from falling behind and provided them with usefulinformation to continue the design. Also, during the meeting, each team showed what they havedone up to that moment. There were no points for attending the meetings. To assess the PBL implementation, the students were required to take a shortened versionof the NCEES FE exam at the beginning and at the end of the semester. They also took a finalCATME survey and were asked to complete a set of questions reflecting on the project work. In Fall 2019, the design tasks were modified after the course sequence was adjusted

However, a study by Whalley and colleagues revealed thatstudents’ reflections on their experiences with debugging tend to be negative [14]. In this study,students expressed that exploring strategies such as print statements frequently will make themmiss the program’s general idea, forcing them not to follow a methodological approach [14].Although debugging is a challenging task, it is also an essential skill that students must master toacquire other computational thinking skills [15]. Consequently, exploration of students’debugging skills is essential to develop teaching and learning strategies that fully explode theiralready-in-place preferences and
