Session Description

Free ticketed event
The intentional integration of reflection alongside traditional engineering learning activities has the potential to facilitate all students’ development as self-directed learners. Through careful consideration of the anchors for reflections and the use of metacognitive theory to guide prompting and feedback on reflection, students can become better able to select and use learning strategies (ABET 7).

This special session will start with a brief orientation to student reflection including terminology and the three dimensions of metacognitive regulation (e.g., Zimmerman, 2000) that have grounde ... (continued)

Session Description

The collective power of all professional societies in engineering education is pivotal in countering anti-DEI efforts, particularly as DEI campus resources are being dismantled nationwide and engineering education colleagues are being loomed into a national spotlight. This critical conversation titled, From Gatekeeping to Gatebreaking: STEM Professional Societies at the Intersection of Injustice and Intervention, will introduce a new framework, TRUE Gatebreaking, to empower ‘gatebreakers’ (those who oppose the archaic notion of professional society gatekeeping to keep folks out of engineering and ...
