  • Addressing the Overlooked Barrier: How to Cultivate your Engineering Education Research Team's Knowledge Generating Culture

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    Engineering education research teams seek to revolutionize engineering departments through the implementation of existing EngEd research, use of organizational and cultural change theories, and production of new knowledge. Given the extent of these goals, EngEd teams are composed of researchers, administrators, and instructors from a range of disciplines (e.g., engineering, EngEd, psychology). Each of these team members bring their own approaches to the generation, expression, and application of knowledge. These differences in thinking are key to the success of EngEd projects; however, they can create tensions that prevent teams from achieving their core goals. By not addressing these differences in thinking, the impact of EngEd projects may be limited due to conflicts around the integration of research approaches and misunderstandings around research and practice. Unfortunately, because these tensions are often incorrectly associated with communication or project management challenges, there are not specific tools or approaches that teams can use to navigate differences in thinking within the context of EngEd projects.

  • Affect and Identity in Engineering Education: Understanding how emotions, feelings, and values shape our students work and contribute to their engineering identity

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    This workshop will equip participants to begin engaging with their students' emotions as a powerful tool for improving learning and building engineering identity. This workshop draws on the results of our National Science Foundation study on affect and engineering identity. Our project examines engineering students' affect (their emotions, feelings, and beliefs) experienced while problem-solving or doing design. While engineering is often seen as purely rational, our data and previous studies have shown affect to be an important part of students' experiences.

  • Decolonizing what? Limits and opportunities for developing equitable syllabi in computer science and engineering education

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    Many engineering and computing instructors are unsure how to oppose the discriminatory, assimilationist politics of engineering education, which continues the oppressive legacies of engineering practice and US education. Although these inequalities are structural-distributed, recursive, and reinforcing-instructors have a strong influence over the classroom and its syllabus, especially as an informational and rhetorical device for orienting students to their classes (Jones, 2024). But how does the discourse of "decolonizing your syllabus" fit into engineering and computing education, let alone general equity-minded practices (Center for Urban Education, 2017)? This workshop brings research on equity in engineering education to inform the design of syllabi in undergraduate engineering courses.

  • Design Signatures in the Wild: Making the Invisible Visible (The Directors Cut)

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    This workshop engages with the question: how might we help students become better able to intentionally engage in a design process, as part of an effort to help them become reflective practitioners of design? On a theoretical level, this work connects to the diversity of design processes  and research on metacognition. This workshop also builds on prior research on helping students to become more metacognitively aware of their current state in a design process.    In this 3-hour workshop, participants will learn how to build self-awareness for their students and themselves through self-tracked design timelines (i.e. Design Signatures).  The workshop facilitators have extensive experience implementing these concepts in their design teaching.

  • Designing Transformative Engineering Education Projects Towards National Science Foundation Funding Success

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    Engineering education transformations can vary from curricular innovations across one course to engineering curricula, to pedagogical innovations that span one course or curricula, to advising and extra-curricular innovations, to mentoring models that support student success, to fundamental research that enable us to understand the student or educator experiences, to institutional transformations that build bridges across programs, to building partnerships with industry, etc.  The National Science Foundation (NSF) annually awards millions to transform STEM education from kindergarten through higher education and beyond.  Specific to engineering education, there are several NSF programs that target engineering education projects spanning research types, engineering disciplines, student populations, partnerships, impacts, etc. Just some of these NSF programs include: IUSE, IUSE/PFE RED, ECR, CAREER, ExLENT, ATE, S-STEM, ADVANCE, HBCU-UP, TCUP, BPE, IUCRC, RIEF, RFE, etc.  The NSF funding opportunities are many, and while program funding levels, success rates, and target areas vary by NSF programs, the process of crafting a strong NSF proposal offers many benefits even if funding is not possible.  This session will focus on helping new investigators in the preparation of engineering education research projects that could be positioned for NSF submission.

  • Let's Play- Improving our Teaching in the Medium of Board Games

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    The "Let's Play" initiative started in 2022 (http://www.drpeterjamieson.com/LETS_PLAY/) and has resulted in us having a deeper understanding of how board games can be used as role-reversal shortened experiences that help teachers learn and experience different ideas as it relates to better teaching.  We have implemented workshops on these ideas at various levels since, and continue to push the ideas on how boardgames provide a great medium to learn how to improve our teaching skills in the space of professional development.  Our goal for this workshop is to expose faculty and leaders to the benefit of using board games to experientially convey focusing on how boardgames are great experiential systems in which teachers can experience what it is like to be a learner again, and in this, they can better understand why evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) are useful teaching approaches and should be included in our own teaching.

  • Unfolding the Layers of the Engineer of 2050 through Faculty Development and Change

    Sunday | October 13, 2024

    This workshop will equip engineering educators with the tools and strategies necessary to adapt their practices to the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and engineering. This workshop will focus on the DANCE (Designing Adaptations for the Next Changes in Education) model, a framework developed to help faculty navigate and lead changes in engineering education among the rising frequency of disruptions.
