Background: Social community is a framework for understanding the importance of social interactions within STEM mentoring programs. This study empirically examined the relationships described in the framework to explore how program elements and social support influenced student involvement.Purpose: Specifically, the study described how two engineering scholar programs that serve underrepresented and underserved students facilitated involvement in communities of practice, a proposed outcome of the social community model.Design: A survey (n = 256) was conducted with participants in both scholar programs and compared to responses of non-participants to learn whether the scholar programs led to greater involvement in communities of practice. Furthermore, interviews (n = 16) with scholar program participants were conducted to learn more about how they became involved in communities of practice.Results: We found that program participants were more likely to be involved in the three communities of practice (student diversity organizations, peer leadership roles, and undergraduate research) than demographically similar non-program participants. Furthermore, we found that mentors (peer leaders, program coordinators, and faculty) provided the necessary social support to encourage participants’ involvement. In particular, the essential role of peer leaders initiated community building and inspired subsequent participation in communities of practice.Conclusions: The social community framework for STEM mentoring programs provides a useful guide for understanding mentoring programs and benefits from examination of case studies to expand discussion of the theory and practices that promote student involvement in communities of practice.
背景:社会社区是了解 STEM 指导计划中社会互动重要性的一个框架。本研究对该框架中描述的关系进行了实证检验,以探索项目要素和社会支持如何影响学生的参与。目的:本研究具体描述了两个工程学者项目如何为代表性不足和服务不足的学生提供服务,以促进他们参与实践社区,这是社会社区模式的一个拟议成果:设计:对两个学者项目的参与者进行了调查(n = 256),并与非参与者的回答进行了比较,以了解学者项目是否促进了对实践社区的参与。此外,我们还对学者项目的参与者进行了访谈(n = 16),以进一步了解他们是如何参与实践社区的:我们发现,与人口统计学上相似的非项目参与者相比,项目参与者更有可能参与三个实践社区(学生多样性组织、同伴领导角色和本科生研究)。此外,我们还发现导师(朋辈领导、项目协调员和教师)为鼓励参与者参与提供了必要的社会支持。特别是,同伴领导者的重要作用启动了社区建设,并激励参与者随后参与到实践社区中:结论:STEM 指导计划的社会社区框架为理解指导计划提供了有用的指导,并得益于对案例研究的审查,从而扩大了对促进学生参与实践社区的理论和实践的讨论。

Background: Co-curricular student outcomes research has focused on connecting outcomes to activities based on the co-curricular type. Less work has explored what aspects of those co-curricular activities could lead to student outcomes. Purpose: Our research aimed to identify common elements of co-curricular activities that connected to students’ development of professional, career, or personal outcomes and can inform how we study and design co-curricular activities in engineering. Design: We recruited participants from one biomedical engineering (BME) program. We used a one-year series of four semi-structured interviews with fourteen upper-level BME students to explore students’ perceptions of their co-curricular learning. Using a qualitative, causal analysis approach, we identified elements of students’ co-curricular experiences in research or a multi-disciplinary design team, as well as other co-curricular experiences (e.g., internships, professional societies), that linked to professional, career, or personal learning outcomes that have been previously identified as important in engineering education. Findings: We identified patterns of connections between unique “experience elements” and a variety of “outcome categories” through participant activities we called “participant actions.” The most prevalent connections—those experience elements and participant actions that connected to multiple outcome categories—included the experience elements Independent Project Work, Project Work That Engages Multiple Disciplines, STEM Education Opportunities, and Mentorship from a Skilled Other as well as a participant action Reflecting on Experience. We found connections to the outcome categories of Leadership, Design, Business, Interdisciplinary Competence, Disciplinary Competence, Communication, and Career Direction Outcomes. Conclusions: Based on our findings, educators and mentors should consider the value of supporting students’ decision-making autonomy and multidisciplinary interactions in projects to support learning. They could also incorporate opportunities for students to teach each other technical content, receive structured mentorship, and reflect on their experiences as they are happening. Further, this work demonstrates a need to explore co-curricular learning processes in new ways that can lead to better understandings of students’ learning processes.
背景:课外学生成果研究的重点是将结果与基于课外类型的活动联系起来。很少有人研究这些课外活动的哪些方面会导致学生的成绩。目的:我们的研究旨在确定与学生专业、职业或个人成果发展相关的课外活动的共同要素,并为我们如何研究和设计工程领域的课外活动提供信息。设计:我们从一个生物医学工程(BME)项目中招募参与者。我们对14名高级BME学生进行了为期一年的四次半结构化访谈,以探讨学生对课外学习的看法。使用定性的因果分析方法,我们确定了学生在研究或多学科设计团队中的课外经历的元素,以及其他课外经历(例如,实习,专业社团),这些经历与专业,职业或个人学习成果相关,这些成果在以前被认为是工程教育中重要的。研究发现:我们通过参与者活动(我们称之为“参与者行动”)确定了独特的“体验元素”和各种“结果类别”之间的联系模式。最普遍的联系——那些与多个结果类别相关的经验元素和参与者行动——包括经验元素独立项目工作、涉及多学科的项目工作、STEM教育机会、技术人员的指导以及参与者行动反思经验。我们发现了领导力、设计、商业、跨学科能力、学科能力、沟通和职业方向结果等结果类别之间的联系。结论:基于我们的研究结果,教育工作者和导师应该考虑在项目中支持学生决策自主和多学科互动的价值,以支持学习。他们还可以为学生提供相互教授技术内容的机会,接受结构化的指导,并在他们发生的时候反思他们的经验。此外,这项工作表明需要以新的方式探索课外学习过程,从而更好地理解学生的学习过程。

Background: Ethics is a required outcome for engineering education programs, but few studies focus on how workforce experiences lead to changes in how engineers experience ethics in practice. By identifying what incidents influence the ways that engineers come to experience ethical engineering practice, we can more effectively design post-secondary pedagogy based on these experiences. Purpose: We address the research question, “What types of critical incidents influence engineers’ ways of experiencing ethical engineering practice?” By identifying and categorizing critical incidents, we aim to provide the engineering education community with strategies and stories that they can embed in post-secondary engineering ethics curriculums. Design/Method: We employed a semi-structured interview protocol to solicit experiences with ethical engineering practice among 43 engineers from a variety of engineering disciplines and who were all currently working in the health products industry. While the interviews focused on ways of experiencing ethical engineering practice, many participants discussed critical change-inducing incidents therein. Thus, we used critical incident technique to identify and synthesize influential workforce experiences in their ethical practice. Results We identified 106 critical incidents, or workforce experiences that led to a change in how engineers viewed or practiced ethical engineering. We grouped incidents into 17 critical incident types, which represent patterns of events or behaviors that led to a change or reinforcement in ethical practice. We grouped incident types into five categories: (1) Cultural Immersions, (2) Interpersonal Encounters; (3) Ethical Actions, (4) Ethical Failures, and (5) Mentorship Events. Conclusion: This study can inform educational change efforts by ensuring that such efforts are grounded in and based on the lived experiences of practicing engineers. We found that Cultural Immersions was the most prominent type of critical incident among participants, and thus we emphasize the import of supporting student awareness of organizational culture, including how it informs one’s ethical views and practices. Based on the range of incident types, we also emphasize how instructors might consider and build the multitude of incident types and categories to implement pedagogy aligned with workforce experiences.
背景:伦理是工程教育项目的必要结果,但很少有研究关注劳动力经验如何导致工程师在实践中如何体验伦理的变化。通过确定哪些事件会影响工程师体验道德工程实践的方式,我们可以根据这些经验更有效地设计高等教育。目的:我们解决研究问题,“什么类型的关键事件影响工程师体验伦理工程实践的方式?”通过识别和分类关键事件,我们的目标是为工程教育界提供策略和故事,他们可以将其嵌入到高等教育工程伦理课程中。设计/方法:我们采用半结构化访谈协议,从43名来自不同工程学科的工程师中征求道德工程实践的经验,他们目前都在保健品行业工作。虽然访谈集中在体验伦理工程实践的方式上,但许多参与者讨论了其中的关键变化诱导事件。因此,我们使用关键事件技术来识别和综合在他们的道德实践中有影响力的劳动力经验。结果:我们确定了106个关键事件,或劳动力经验,导致工程师如何看待或实践道德工程的变化。我们将事件分为17个关键事件类型,这些类型代表了导致道德实践改变或强化的事件或行为模式。我们将事件类型分为五类:(1)文化沉浸;(2)人际接触;(3)道德行为,(4)道德失败,(5)师徒事件。结论:这项研究可以通过确保这些努力是基于实践工程师的生活经验来为教育变革的努力提供信息。我们发现,文化沉浸是参与者中最突出的关键事件类型,因此我们强调支持学生组织文化意识的重要性,包括它如何影响个人的道德观和实践。基于事件类型的范围,我们还强调教师如何考虑和构建大量事件类型和类别,以实现与员工经验一致的教学方法。

The TRIPLE Change Framework: Merging Theories of Intersectional Power, Learning, and Change to Enable Just, Equitable, Diverse, and Inclusive Engineering Education 三重变革框架:融合交叉力量、学习和变革理论,以实现公正、公平、多样化和包容性的工程教育

Background: Despite many calls for change, and especially change aligned to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) goals, engineering continues to show disparities in the opportunities, experiences, and outcomes of women and people from groups historically marginalized in these fields. In response, institutions have traditionally used change frameworks to both understand and create reform at program, department, or college levels. However, when aiming at DEIJ goals, change frameworks alone do not lead to the desired transformations of systems. Purpose: In this theoretical paper, we develop an integrated framework that draws from three theoretical domains to guide systemic, equity-focused transformation in engineering education. We argue knowledge from three domains—intersectional power, learning, and change—is necessary to account for and address the complexity of DEIJ change projects. This complexity requires a framework that sheds light on interrelated embodiments of power relations, guidance on how to change, including how and why people learn and engage in new practices. Scope: To illustrate the need for and value of such integration, we examine how prior researchers have used theories of power, change, and learning. In doing so, we present a framework for how integration across these domains can occur. In the domain of change, we identified papers on diffusion of innovations and communities of practice. In learning, we identified papers on distributed practice and legitimate peripheral participation. We examined how these papers utilized critical theories of intersectional power, the third domain, in tandem with these theories. We also explored how the choice of a theory (within the domains) can help or hinder the attainment of systematic, equity-focused transformation. Discussion/Conclusion: We drew the three domains together to consider how these, when integrated in the Theories and Research on Intersectional Power, Learning, and Evolutionary Change (TRIPLE Change) Framework, provide a more comprehensive means to envision, guide, and characterize DEIJ change efforts. By integrating learning, change, and intersectional power theories, we increase the capacity of our analyses of systems and open new possibilities for creating more equitable and just systems.
背景:尽管许多人呼吁变革,特别是与多样性、公平、包容和正义(DEIJ)目标相一致的变革,但工程领域在机会、经验和成果方面,女性和历史上被边缘化群体的人仍然存在差距。作为回应,机构传统上使用变革框架来理解和创造项目、部门或学院层面的改革。然而,当以DEIJ目标为目标时,仅更改框架并不能导致期望的系统转换。目的:在这篇理论论文中,我们从三个理论领域开发了一个综合框架,以指导工程教育中系统的、以公平为中心的转型。我们认为,来自三个领域的知识——交叉力量、学习和变革——对于解释和解决DEIJ变革项目的复杂性是必要的。这种复杂性需要一个框架来阐明权力关系的相互关联的体现,指导如何改变,包括人们如何以及为什么学习和参与新的实践。范围:为了说明这种整合的必要性和价值,我们研究了以前的研究人员是如何使用权力、变化和学习理论的。在此过程中,我们提出了一个框架,说明如何实现跨这些领域的集成。在变革领域,我们确定了关于创新扩散和实践社区的论文。在学习方面,我们确定了关于分布式实践和合法外围参与的论文。我们研究了这些论文是如何利用交叉权力的批判理论的,这是第三个领域,与这些理论相结合。我们还探讨了理论的选择(在领域内)如何帮助或阻碍实现系统的、以股权为中心的转型。讨论/结论:我们将这三个领域结合在一起,考虑如何将它们整合到“交叉权力、学习和进化变革(TRIPLE Change)框架的理论与研究”中,为设想、指导和描述DEIJ变革工作提供更全面的方法。通过整合学习、变革和交叉权力理论,我们提高了系统分析的能力,并为创造更公平和公正的系统开辟了新的可能性。

Professor Talk in Undergraduate, Introductory Design: A Multiple Case Study from Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering 设计导论:机械与生物医学工程的多重案例研究
Pub Date : 2023-01-01 DOI: 10.21061/see.74

Background: Introductory design projects are an influential and important time to introduce students to engineering in authentic and engaging ways in order to prepare students for their future academic and professional careers. Instructors must be able to scaffold their students to reach more advanced design skills. However, the most effective ways to do this, specifically how instructors use their talk with students, are not well understood. Purpose: We aim to address the research question: How do instructors interact with students and use their talk as a tool to scaffold undergraduate students’ learning during their work on engineering design projects in introductory engineering courses? Design: We employed a multiple case study approach to examine the content of three professors’ talk during introductory engineering design projects, guided by a theoretical framework based on the components of scaffolding. Results: The professors took on a role as a guide or mentor to students during their projects, with differing goals for their mentoring. In light of the introductory nature of the design projects, the professors focused primarily on non-technical content, including iteration in design, teaming, and communication, but pointed to technical applications of their ideas in future projects. They supported some challenges for beginning designers but were not comprehensive in their support of others. Conclusions: The professors in this study are experienced engineers and teachers with valuable experience. They used their experience to act as more knowledgeable others to mentor students and excite them about their engineering careers. However, there were some disconnects between the professors’ values in design and their talk with students, such as in learning from failure and problem scoping. These findings support the need for support for instructors, specifically in how to more closely align their talk with their teaching goals.
背景:入门设计项目是一个有影响力和重要的时刻,以真实和引人入胜的方式向学生介绍工程,以便为学生未来的学术和职业生涯做好准备。教师必须能够支撑他们的学生达到更先进的设计技能。然而,最有效的方法,特别是教师如何使用他们的与学生交谈,不清楚。目的:我们的目标是解决研究问题:教师如何与学生互动,并利用他们的谈话作为一种工具来指导本科生的学习;在工程入门课程中学习工程设计项目?设计:我们采用多案例研究的方法来检查三位教授的内容;在介绍工程设计项目时,以基于脚手架组件的理论框架为指导。结果:在学生的项目中,教授们扮演了一个向导或导师的角色,他们的指导目标不同。鉴于设计项目的介绍性,教授们主要关注非技术内容,包括设计中的迭代、团队合作和沟通,但指出了他们的想法在未来项目中的技术应用。他们支持新手设计师的一些挑战,但对其他人的支持并不全面。结论:本研究的教授是经验丰富的工程师和教师,具有宝贵的经验。他们利用自己的经验作为更有知识的人来指导学生,并激发他们对工程事业的兴趣。然而,两位教授之间也存在一些脱节。设计值及其与学生交谈,如从失败中学习和问题范围。这些发现支持了对教师的支持的必要性,特别是在如何更紧密地将他们的谈话与教学目标结合起来方面。

Background: Prior work has shown the importance of engineering identity formation for student success and persistence in engineering. While research has explored how engineering identity is formed, less attention has been given to liminal engineering identities—identities that exist between two commonly identified ones, such as the identity of being an engineering student and that of being an engineering professional— and the qualities of liminality that might impact this identity formation. Purpose/Hypothesis: This paper addresses the research question, “How do engineering students talk about their liminal engineering identities?” Design/Method: Through eleven focus groups held with engineering students at two U.S. universities, evidence of liminal engineering identities emerged. Focus group data was analyzed iteratively using an inductive analysis process due to the emergent nature of this study. Results: Our analysis found six categories for the reasons and justifications students gave for their liminal engineering identities: Mindsets and Related Personal Characteristics; Knowledge; Experience; Engineering Coursework and Degrees; the “Real World”; and Other People. We found that these categories sat on a continuum between an internal or self-driven sense of identity and an external or other-driven sense of identity. Conclusions: This work applies the concept of liminal identity to engineering education, emphasizing that engineering identity is more than an either/or prospect. It makes evident the intricate and intersecting ways in which students construct and justify their emerging engineering identities, and illuminates the reasons students

Results: Our analysis found six categories for the reasons and justifications students gave for their liminal engineering identities: Mindsets and Related Personal Characteristics; Knowledge; Experience; Engineering Coursework and Degrees; the “Real World”; and Other People. We found that these categories sat on a continuum between an internal or self-driven sense of identity and an external or other-driven sense of identity. Conclusions: This work applies the concept of liminal identity to engineering education, emphasizing that engineering identity is more than an either/or prospect. It makes evident the intricate and intersecting ways in which students construct and justify their emerging engineering identities, and illuminates the reasons students","PeriodicalId":117277,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Engineering Education","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135613719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
