Similarly,collaborative efforts to incorporate writing and information literacy into the teaching of thenatural sciences (e.g., biology and chemistry) appear to be more common than in engineeringcurricula [5]–[8]. Because writing is an essential skill for professional engineers, introducing andpracticing engineering writing skills early in a student’s academic career is an opportunity toincrease

Subsequently, Purdue University, World Learning, and an Iraqi University conducted ajoint needs assessment to identify the specific areas of interest for the engineering facultymembers. A population survey was conducted with all 161 faculty members of the College ofEngineering. The needs assessment identified student-centered learning, blended learning, andculturally relevant pedagogy as the faculty members’ core pedagogical areas of interest.

Stereotype threat examined through the lens ofepistemic injustice offers an extemporaneous perspective on the epistemological interplaybetween culture and individual to tackle the long-standing problem of women’sunderrepresentation in engineering.IntroductionThe origins of engineering in the US stem from mid-19th century universities, in which the firstengineering societies began to form and establish values for the profession [1]–[5]. Becausewhite, cisgender, heterosexual men were the population of individuals that had the most access tostudying engineering in the 1850s, they established the culture and values of engineering basedon their shared identities [6].

One factor is class attendance.Regular lecture attendance is typically expected from college students. Indeed, as the findingspresented in [1], [2], and [3] demonstrate, there is a positive correlation between regularattendance and the student’s grades.The other factor is the ability of students to keep up with the material promptly.

The ultimate goal of ENGR 111 is to instruct students inapplication and integration of institutionally-identified fundamental engineering skills that areintroduced and practiced in the prerequisite Engineering Methods, Tools, and Practice I (ENGR110) course. Other notable general features of ENGR 111 include a formal (15,000 ft2) makerspacesetting that exclusively employs active learning

-Based-Learning (PBL) for skillsdevelopment, motivation, and retention (both in terms of students staying in the major and interms of retaining learned skills) of engineering students. While all students take design coursesleading to their senior capstone projects, they do not all build prototypes of their work. Typically,in naval architecture and marine engineering programs, PBL projects focus on building smallmodels due to time, space, and cost issues with using full-scale vessels. Exceptions to thisapproach are taken at two colleges, where students may take elective courses that feature full-scale construction of 10-15 ft long plywood craft.
