members that encouraged student participation,empowered them to learn, and demonstrated interest in their development also predicted agreater sense of belonging amongst students [32]. Furthermore, social integration experiences,such as participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, residence programs,spending time with peers [19] as well as socio-academic experiences, such as working onprojects with peers, discussing grades and career plans with instructors, and being part oflearning communities [12] contributed to a greater sense of belonging.In summary, both engineering identity and belongness are linked with persistence as well asother positive psychological and emotional outcomes, thus promoting a sense of identity

Opportunities for Teacher’s Quantum Workshop organized in Summer 2022 and 2023 communication and provided a set-up for teachers to listen quantum fundamentals from creativity scientists, convey their questions, and interact with the projects team and other teachers to apply what they learn in their teaching during their formal curriculum plan. Continuous Iterative revisions during the first two years of the project helped improvement improve the instructional design, implementation, and evaluation processes.In this paper we specifically elaborate on the first design principle that aligned the expectationsand instructions

It's about the process, I think for, for me.”To get another sense for the scope of these researcher identity I-poems, we compared I-poemstatements to the sections of the transcript they originated from. Sections were derived from oursix theoretical aspects of researcher identity. We noticed that neither poem included statementsrelated to the feelings when collaborating section of the initial interviews. Both participantsmentioned feelings they have while researching and collaborating on a team in their initialinterviews but did not use these statements in the poems. We plan to explore the area of feelingswhen collaborating further to learn more about how researchers might disclose

student perspectives on thehelpfulness of different types of equation sheets, and provides insight to instructors whendeciding on their own policies for equation sheets in their classes.IntroductionMany professors, when discussing the tests they plan to give in a particular class, hear thequestion: “Do we get an equation sheet?” These documents may sometimes be colloquiallyreferred to as “crib sheets” or “cheat sheets” as well. Whatever the name may be, their purpose isto assist students by providing equations to them on a test, to reduce the burden of memorization.This is often an expected practice, as engineering features many different equations, tables ofdata, and constants that practicing engineers can easily look up, and it allows students

Self-efficacy has been related towomen’s plans to persist in engineering. Women who have higher self-efficacy, especiallyBlack, Latina/x, and Indigenous women, are more likely to persist in engineering careers [23].Conversely, research has demonstrated that women who have lower self-efficacy are more likelyto drop out of
cumulative engineering process. In Plato’sdialogue, Timaeus, Timaeus is asked to provide an account of how the world came to be as it is.Timaeus argues that the emergence of the universe has followed the non-deterministic plan of theArcheteckton (Master Builder) or Demiurge (Public Worker). These expressions both suggest aMaster Craftsman, a Master Engineer. Timaeus demurs on the specific path taken, claiming thathe can only give a probable account. Clearly, there is freedom in the evolutionary path, but, headds, emphatically, that one thing is for certain, that the emergence of the universe always movesto the Good, moves from each current state to a more desirable future state. Plato’s philosophy was inspired by Pythagoras who gave
student with an auditory processing disorder and anxiety, describes the effort thatshe puts into hiding her internal struggles, and the subsequent impact that keeping this hiddenfrom her advisor has on her mental health and wellbeing. I do this masking where I put on that I'm very together in front of her and I have all these plans, and my calendar is all marked, but then my day to day, I don't feel like that. So, revealing that side of me, is something that gives me anxiety.The need to maintain a facade again suggests a hesitation to fully trust the advisor with theirvulnerabilities. Twyla describes a similar environment in her department in other words, saying: …there's not a lot of talking about our own
indicates “agree.” In addition to the quantitative student perceptions, students could also provide open-ended comments about their perceptions of KS on the end of course surveys. While about 7% ofthe comments indicated that KS did not help students, comments were overwhelmingly positive.Themes emerged about how they helped students learn, reinforced learning objectives, and aidedin self-assessment. One sample response, from a student just above the mean GPA, highlightsseveral of these themes: "I actually enjoyed this as an aspect of the class as it added almost like a mini study guide for me to work through and remember what the particular survey covered. This allowed me to formulate a study plan to ensure any questions I

We recognize that students tend to silo theircoursework and did not recognize this opportunity to improve their reporting on the capstone.Therefore, we plan to share this assignment with the junior and senior project advisors and askthat
socialunrest, as well as fires, hurricanes, floods, and other emergencies [1] may also cause disruptions.Such disruptions, on the student side, may lead to, among other things, feelings of isolation,anxiety, and stress [2]; reduced motivation, self-efficacy, and achievement [3]; and retentionissues [4]. The use of a learning management system (LMS) has been shown to mitigatechallenges associated with disruptions, prompting researchers to better understand the degree towhich LMS features are used and how they can be used more effectively. This study wasconducted to discover how instructors utilized a LMS before, during, and after a disruption.Findings from this study can be used by policy makers and educators to plan how best to useLMS features given

graduate students place more importance on teachingempathy than their younger counterparts. However, gender and degree type did not significantlyinfluence perceptions related to empathy. There appears to be consistency in empathyperceptions between graduate students and faculty and staff. Future work includes expanding theexploration of empathy perceptions to multiple institutions to broaden insights into more diverselocations. Qualitative analyses of survey statements are planned and will yield a betterunderstanding of the broader context of graduate students’ perceptions of empathy. There issignificant potential with future work including better insights into how and where to includeempathy in graduate engineering education, and whether
faculty members. As previous studies have described [2] thatinternational faculty are less satisfied than their U.S.-born colleagues while being moreproductive than their US counterparts. We tried to unpack further through our own experiences.All the narratives have highlighted either a lack of mentorship or a mismatch in terms of mentorsupport and expectations. Therefore, there is a clear need for the institutions to build a robustmentorship plan and pathways for international faculty members. Also, we noticed that all threeparticipants for this study vocalized for effective mentorship from the doctoral program itself.Also, the narratives highlighted that working with other international faculty members oftenlimited their professional
Spanish forcollaborative planning and problem-solving with her Spanish-speaking assistants, while Englishis reserved for more formal teaching moments. Juan Carlos shows similar versatility, usingSpanish for in-depth discussions and English when addressing a wider audience.We add another dimension, describing how casual conversations with peers from similarbackgrounds often involve a mix of English and Spanish. This linguistic blend extends beyondthe classroom, strengthening friendships, alleviating stress, and enhancing empathy among peersduring graduate school. It is a practice that enriches their shared cultural experiences, from foodto customs, and bolsters their individual identities.Another common theme was that in formal academic settings

In engineering ethics education,community assets may include our colleagues’ individual or personal assets that contribute to ourteaching (e.g. learning from a colleague teaching ethics before), student experiences and interests(e.g. letting student pick what emerging

Upon design, they should be able toimplement their ideas into a physical or modeled product with hardware, manufacturing, coding,and validated measures considered. Finally, they should be capable of operating their productsuch that it delivers its intended proposition while accounting for its maintenance, potentialupgrades, recycling, and disposal of the product once reached the end of its life cycle [3].Additionally, the aerospace industry continues to expand international collaboration amongstprojects. For example, one of the largest commercial aircraft, the Airbus A380, has designoffices, engineering centers
(n=7); 10institutions did not participate in STARS. Reporter institutions do not have scores as they do notparticipate in the entire rating process. Thus, there were 72 institutions in the data set withAASHE STARS scores. Three STARS scores were recorded: the total score, curriculum score,and academic score. The total score is a sum of five sub-scores: academics, operations,engagement, planning & administration, and innovation & leadership (which is an optional‘bonus’ category). Operations has the highest weight in STARS overall, with the potential to earn71 points. The academics category (maximum 58 points) includes both curriculum and researchsub-categories. The curriculum sub-category includes 8 specific credits, where academic

The final group presentations reflected the group dynamics in the designingand the building of the bridge. Vermillion of Graphite's group takes full ownership of thephysical design and harm reduction planning of the bridge. This was the only group that did notproperly build the bridge across the water, as the group's final decision of the park and thefactory stayed on the east side of the river. Additionally following Graphite's laid-backleadership style, his understanding of how their decision may reduce harm showed no greaterunderstanding than Vermillion's despite an age gap of approximately five years.

After completing the course and the project, students should be able to: (1) design andimplement a solution to an open-ended engineering problem that involves both hardware andsoftware designs; (2) use simulation and measurement tools to devise a test and validation plan;(3) document and present detailed engineering design process of the project solution; (4)recognize and assess the ethical issues and societal impacts of the designs and solutions.4.

By extensively researching existing studies on polymercomposite recycling and additive manufacturing technologies, and considering the specific needsof Louisiana, a comprehensive project plan was developed. The main objective was to find asustainable method for fabricating filament feedstock for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3Dprinting processes, focusing on recycling composite materials from end-of-life boats. The projectinvolved collecting samples from abandoned boat hulls, classifying them, mechanically recyclingthe collected material through grinding, fabricating short-fiber reinforced composite filament forFDM 3D printing, and conducting tensile tests on 3D-printed parts. The study included

Sensors can detect unsafe conditions and trigger alerts or automatic shutdowns when necessary [30], [31].vii. Data-driven decision-making: IIoT generates vast amounts of data that can be analyzed to gain valuable insights into operations, customer preferences, and market trends. This data-driven decision-making approach can lead to better strategic planning and competitive advantages [11], [32].viii. Remote monitoring and management: IIoT allows for remote monitoring and management of industrial processes and equipment. This is
suitable language for beginners and appreciatingits integration into the course's tight schedule. However, the grading system has garnered mixedreviews from students, with some fast learners liking it and slow learners finding it discouraging.While there are no plans to significantly change the grading approach, the speed component ofgrading will be reduced to bridge the gap between fast and slow learners. To further enhance thecourse, the Arduino programming module will be simplified and given additional coverage time,allowing students to better understand the necessary skills. Students will also be encouraged tosave their programs for future use to avoid the frustration of having to rewrite programsrepeatedly. To alleviate the challenges that
participation in equitable design interventions. Our ScLR revealed that engineering faculty may have challenges when planning andimplementing equitable design teaching interventions. As higher education institutions seek todiversify their population and graduate professionals able to address the changing landscape ofglobal issues, they must equip their faculty with the tools to continually integrate critical socialreflection into their teaching. Faculty must also be supported in the process of implementingthose innovations in their courses and curricula. Since students may not be used to integratingsocial reflection in the design process, course evaluations can be impacted negatively. Furtherinvestigation into ways to reduce potential students

Additionally, it underscores the importance of fostering abilitiescritical for analytical thinking and real-world application, such as analytical problem-solving andexperimental methods, to guarantee learners are well-equipped to utilize their learning in practicalscenarios [6]. Bloom's mastery learning model encapsulates the core tenets of this educationalapproach by emphasizing the definition, planning, teaching, and grading for mastery. It recognizesthe assessment of mastery as a crucial pillar, addressing the research question of how studentmastery is monitored and identifying the assessment models capable of measuring it [6].Mastery Learning Steps Bloom Mastery
