Mary Elizabeth Lockhart; Karen Rambo-Hernandez; Rebecca Atadero – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: The lack of diversity within engineering degree programs and occupations has been an ongoing concern for decades. National engineering programs have placed a high priority on broadening participation in engineering and making the engineering culture more inclusive. Specifically, the cultivation of engineering students' inclusive…

Trevion S. Henderson – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Existing research points to the role of Eurocentric epistemic values - scientific objectivity, value-neutrality, depoliticization, and technical rationality - as a cornerstone of engineering ways of thinking, knowing, and doing. However, less is known about the role of Eurocentric epistemologies in team communication and decision…

Tembrevilla, Gerald; Nesbit, Susan; Ellis, Naoko; Ostafichuk, Peter – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: For engineers who aim to address sustainability challenges, participating in transdisciplinary teams is key. Yet developing transdisciplinary knowledge, including systems thinking, metacognition, and empathic thinking, is not well supported in traditional engineering programs. Purpose: The extent to which selected learning activities…

Hardebolle, Cécile; Verma, Himanshu; Tormey, Roland; Deparis, Simone – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Research shows that active pedagogies could play an important role in achieving more equitable outcomes for diverse groups of students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Although flipped classes are a popular active methodology, there is a lack of high-quality studies assessing their impact in ecologically…

Lee, You-kyung; Freer, Emily; Robinson, Kristy A.; Perez, Tony; Lira, Amalia K.; Briedis, Daina; Walton, S. Patrick; Linnenbrink-Garcia, Lisa – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Students are more likely to persist when they both perceive themselves as capable of success (expectancy) and perceive tasks to be interesting, important, and useful (values) or less costly in terms of effort, lost opportunities, and psychological stress (perceived costs). Prior research has not examined whether these motivational…

Svihla, Vanessa; Chen, Yan; Kang, Sung – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Engineering programs have increasingly incorporated design challenges into courses. These design challenges vary in the degree to which they present complex, ill-structured, and relevant problems, and therefore may vary in the degree to which they support students to learn to frame design problems. Purpose/Hypothesis: We characterized…

Diefes-Dux, Heidi A.; Cruz Castro, Laura M. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Feedback is one of the most powerful and essential tools for learning and assessment, particularly when it provides the information necessary to close an existing gap between actual and reference levels of performance. The literature on feedback has primarily focused on addressing strategies for providing effective feedback rather than…

Krishnakumar, Sandeep; Maier, Torsten; Berdanier, Catherine; Ritter, Sarah; McComb, Christopher; Menold, Jessica – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: During the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, universities rapidly pivoted to online formats and were often unable to adhere to the best practices of online learning highlighted in prior literature. It is well documented that a variety of barriers impeded "normal" educational practices. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this…
