Abstract Use of Transfer Student Capital in Engineering and STEM Education: A Systematic Literature Review This complete research paper presents a systematic literature review that synthesizes the use Laanan's theory transfer student capital postsecondary vertical college transfers, specifically focusing on engineering Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education. The motivation for this stems from need to better understand (which emerged 2010) practical settings. Since its...
Abstract Manufacturing is a foundation of economic growth and job creation across the U.S. constantly changing with improvements in technology, materials design. While this field pillar for within US, manufacturing companies struggle to recruit prepared workforce. Therefore, program high school teachers was established increase understanding multiple career pathways along their ability explain how new technologies depend on advancement engineering science. Specifically, focused southeastern...
This study explored seven engineering graduate students' collaborative problem-solving (CPS) skills while working in interdisciplinary teams. Students worked two different teams, face-to-face and online environments, to solve complex manufacturing design challenges posed by their instructor. The students were assessed using an observational rubric with four dimensions: peer interactions, positive communication, tools methods iteration adaption, scored via each dimension's associated...
We present an interactive breadboard activity simulation (IBAS) to educate users in acquiring psychomotor skills electrical circuitry pertaining the ammeter, voltmeter and multimeter instruments. Psychomotor learning involves association of cognitive functions with motor make task autonomous repeated practice, promoting better recall. In circuitry, this is demonstrated by fine movements involved handling manipulating components on circuit, particularly while measuring parameters that...
Abstract This paper presents the results of an empirical study that evaluated learning outcomes and student engagement when case studies are presented using virtual reality integrated into online asynchronous environment developed Open edX codebase. Virtual systems becoming more frequently used in educational settings primarily because their ability to provide visualization interaction within closely resembles a real-world setting. Both text-based VR-based were course on workplace safety....
Abstract Students from underrepresented groups are less likely to participate and persist in STEM disciplines. Furthermore, negative attitudes of disciplines these populations may be developed as early elementary school. These attitudes, coupled with common misconceptions about STEM, introduce yet another barrier for students succeed It has been shown that a student's greater sense engineering identity can improve their persistence the field. or influenced by outreach program interventions....
Abstract Two-year colleges play a vital role in educating and awarding advanced credentials to America's future scientists technicians. The research supported by this National Science Foundation (NSF) award emphasizes the importance of expands understanding that two-year engineering education career pipeline. Yet, racial location inequity vertical transfer highlights lack access life-changing educational opportunities. This focuses on identifying unique geographic cultural assets make...
Her research focuses on innovations in workforce
Abstract Two-year colleges, with their open access missions, have significant impact on higher education. These institutions enroll a large percentage of the total undergraduate population (36-41 percent), and 49 percent all students who completed four-year degree had some previous enrollment at two-year college. Yet, in engineering education, there is little empirical understanding this large, pre-transfer student population. Research that does exist examines students' post-transfer...
Abstract Many students who begin higher education at community colleges desire to transfer baccalaureate institutions yet, less than a quarter and graduate within six years. Within the field of engineering, challenges are even more pronounced, fewer due tight curriculum programs prerequires. While research on engineering is emerging, most focuses post-transfer there gap in understanding pre-transfer students. In addition this gap, little geographic demographic variance assets Transfer...
This NSF funded research study is developing a greater theoretical understanding of the professional identity, institutional culture, and formation engineer technicians technologists who are prepared at two-year colleges. The identifying dimensions career anchors orientations various stages preparation map to engineering technology (ET) pathways by surveying ET students, transfer early professionals. complexity integration multiple preparation, within diverse environments, has led...
Manufacturing engineers work in teams with a wide range of skills and credentials. Teamwork collaborative problem solving (CPS) enable higher productivity efficiency. However, these are largely absent from engineering education curricula research contexts involving multi-educational inclusive technical college students. We address this gap practice through qualitative case study exploring the contributions, experiences, perspectives students working level to solve real-world manufacturing...
