Session Description

What does design look like? How do designers spend their time scoping out a problem, developing alternative solutions, and evaluating their designs? Are there typical patterns of engagement in design activities that differ depending on level of design expertise? Questions such as these guided Cynthia Atman's early research on engineering-design processes.

To address these questions, Atman worked with many colleagues to collect data from a large number of individuals ranging in expertise who solved multiple design problems. Analysis of these data provides empirical evidence that as individual ... (continued)

Session Description

The purpose of this session is to introduce participants to the concept of person-centered approaches and critical quantitative frameworks such as QuantCrit. A person-centered approach refers to a set of methodological approaches that contrast with traditional statistical methods often employed in engineering education research, such as t-tests, analysis of variance, and various types of regression. A person-centered approach is used to understand the latent groupings inside in the sample, which involves exploring how variables combine across individuals instead of how the measured variables predict the value of others.

Session Description

This highly interactive session is designed to provide engineering faculty with a space to explore barriers and opportunities to establishing a culture of wellness in engineering education. The goal is for faculty to end the session having identified viable strategies that promote individual resilience in the face of professional shame and a culture of overwork, and having concrete approaches for working toward systemic wellness and productivity.

Professional shame has been defined as a “painful emotional state that occurs when one perceives they have failed to meet socially constructed expecta ... (continued)

Session Description

This session provides early-career scholars and pioneers in engineering education an opportunity to interact face-to-face. Session attendees will have the opportunity to meet with pioneers in a roundtable format to ask questions, seek advice, and get feedback. The intended audience for this panel includes graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and others interested in the engineering-education community. This session is a follow-up to the National Science Foundation-funded Engineering Education Pioneers Project, which documented the stories of more than 40 engineering education pioneers through online profiles, https://depts.washington.edu/celtweb/pioneers-wp/.

Session Description

The Journal of Engineering Education is one of the premier scholarly publications sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education and serves as an important mechanism for members of the Educational Research Methods Division to share their scholarly work with the global engineering-education research community. How research moves from its infant stage through the publication process can often be challenging to understand, particularly for graduate students or early-career faculty. The purpose of this special session/panel is to help researchers and reviewers better understand the publication processes associated with the Journal of Engineering Education.
