I began my engineeringeducation career by studying the ways in which different ways of knowing, doing and beingimpact engineering narratives and practices, with a particular focus on dismantling dominantdiscourses that (re)produce deficit models.As a critical scholar invested in racial equity, my broad aim is to elevate these students’voices, epistemologies, and help (re)frame Latino/a/x engineering students as holders andcreators of knowledge [25-27] that should be acknowledged in our pursuit of educationalequity in engineering. My research opposes the notion that students possess inherent deficitsthat must be “fixed.” Instead, I argue that these deficit ideologies further marginalize studentsand perpetuate false models of
a group in their academic career. As such, there are elements of the project, particularly during the analysis and writing of the memo, that require more hand-holding on the part of the instructor. Teaming conflicts occasionally occur, but surprisingly, group dynamic issues have been far less prominent for this project than in the other courses that this instructor has taught. To gain some perspective on team dynamics, this instructor has a prompt at the end of the final exam asking the student how they would divide up a $1, 000 bonus for the work done on the design project amongst the members of the group. In this instructor’s experience, very few students indicate a significant deviation from an

]. Decisions under climate change are deeply uncertain, and DMDU approaches havefrequently been applied for long term planning for urban infrastructure [2]–[4]. Decision makersmust plan and take some form of adaptive action (including no action or deferred action) toaddress the impacts of climate change. These actions tend to be informed by complex modelinganalyses, and it is often difficult to communicate the modeling results as well as the advantagesand disadvantages of different actions to stakeholders and decision makers. It is equally if notmore difficult to communicate these concepts to civil and environmental engineering studentswho will be confronted with similar decisions in their future careers. Serious games may offersome solutions to these

Authors should investigate the reason behind this result further.Response to question 4 “ChatGPT should be used for every assignment, occasional assignments,only difficult assignments or problems, no assignment” is shown in Fig 4. As can be seen, thereis a consensus among students about minimum use of ChatGPT for assignments.

Here, a similar trend was observed in the junior-level class with 9.9%, 21.2%,54.5%, and 15.1% responding to these four answers, respectively

A traditional approach may haveyielded more competence in applying the current techniques of compression, encryption, anderror correction. The students might have been more skilled at algorithmic development for theimplementation of a specific encryption scheme, for instance. But that deep knowledge wouldgradually become less useful, as the implementation specifics and schemes evolved over theircareers. Instead this course provided the students, something that would become gradually moreuseful over their careers – to expose them to how basic concepts are

These studies' findings are consistent with the customized interventions, research-based teaching techniques, and community-building initiatives put forth [13][16][19-21].Exemplar Studies: Together, these studies explore the nuanced terrain of mental health amongundergraduate engineering students and social identities.

There is a decrease in the number of students entering the STEM disciplines. 4. Curricula for existing students require new courses that are built on the principles of team science and methodology for conducting transdisciplinary research within a CI environment. 5. Learning environments must increasingly engage students in STEM disciplines, build awareness of team science and transdisciplinary research within a CI environment, and inspire students to further investigate or pursue a career in these areas. 6.

If the support is provided by someone neurotypical, it doesn’t work for him,so he would like to see neurodivergent engineers creating resources using their own strategies,and “as collateral for helping neurodivergent [students] with that, neurotypicals benefit too.

to exercise considerable restraint in order to secure measures that actually represent the criterion – often very difficult to collect – instead of more easily accessed but potentially invalid proxy measures. For Page 15.1008.5 example, salary data of alumni would be a more easily secured proxy measure for alumni success than more direct measures of the latter. Clearly salary data, unless carefully conditioned, would reflect the large inequities and differential pay scales of varying careers.
