Katherine Goodman; Heather Lynn Johnson; Maryam Darbeheshti; Tom Altman; David C. Mays – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2024
This design case describes a Welcome Academy for New Faculty in Engineering. To situate the design, this work is motivated by the documented need to make STEM education more inclusive. This need has prompted extensive research on best practices for inclusive teaching, but less is known about how to translate that research into actual teaching…

Crockett, Caroline; Powell, Harry C.; Finelli, Cynthia J. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article proposes a new definition of conceptual understanding (CU) specific to engineering. It then measures CU of signals and systems (S&S) in senior undergraduate students and describes how students approach conceptual problems. Background: Previous studies across multiple engineering subjects show students have low CU at…

Olaniba, Oyetunji Steven – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This research investigated Lean and Industry 4.0 competencies required by the manufacturing industry and taught in Applied Engineering, Technology, Technology Management, Manufacturing, and Related (AETTMMR) program curricula. The aim was to identify the misalignment between the manufacturing industry competency need and the AETTMMR academic…

Gunckel, Kristin L. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
Science education and science education research have long taken a lead in educating the public about climate change by arguing that the public needs to understand the scientific models that explain the mechanisms of global warming and predict future impacts. However, as of yet, this focus on understanding climate models has failed to have an…

Fang-Ying Yang; Kaushal Kumar Bhagat; Christian Brandmo; Wan-Yue Zhan; Ivar Bråten – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
In a sample of 323 engineering students, structural equation modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships between beliefs about the nature of knowledge in science, beliefs about the process of justification for knowing in science, and argumentative reasoning about an ill-structured social-scientific issue. Beliefs about justification for…

Jessica Belue Buckley; Catherine L. Biesecker; Thomas R. Tretter; Brian S. Robinson; Angela Knight Thompson – Journal of College Student Development, 2025
This article is part of a longitudinal study on academic sense of belonging (SB) in engineering, which uses narrative analysis to examine development of meaning-making systems (MMS). Featuring narratives of three students of color, findings show that over time, some students experienced subject-object shifts in their perceptions of SB, as well as…

Jaleh Rezaei; Nasim Asghary – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Mathematical modelling is an interlinking process between mathematics and real-world problems that can be applied as a means to increase motivation, develop cognitive competencies, and enhance the ability to transfer mathematical knowledge to other areas of science, such as engineering disciplines. This study was designed to investigate the effect…

Guadalupe Elizabeth Morales-Martinez; Ricardo Jesus Villarreal-Lozano; Maria Isolde Hedlefs-Aguilar – International Journal of Emotional Education, 2025
This research study explored the systematic thinking modes underlying test anxiety in 706 engineering students through an experiment centred on the cognitive algebra paradigm. The participants had to read 36 experimental scenarios that narrated an imaginary academic assessment situation one by one and then judge the level of anxiety they…

Margherita Piroi – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
This study aims at elaborating a well-established theoretical framework that distinguishes three modes of thinking in linear algebra: the analytic-arithmetic, the synthetic-geometric, and the analytic-structural mode. It describes and analyzes the bundle of signs produced by an engineering student during an interview, where she was asked to recall…

Matthew D. Whitwer; Sarah A. Wilson; Joseph H. Hammer; Brenna Gomer – Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
Background: Engineering students experience high levels of distress and low rates of mental health treatment seeking, yet there is a gap in knowledge around how this compares with that of students in other fields of study. Given the influence of social identity (e.g., gender identity, race/ethnicity) on mental health and treatment seeking, it is…

Sevgi Aydin-Günbatar; Nilay Ozturk; Gillian H. Roehrig – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
This research investigated how middle school science teachers integrated engineering into their planned science instruction and the extent to which they conceptually linked science to engineering following participation in a professional development program. Video recordings of six teachers' classroom implementation of teacher-designed units were…
