Implementing a Sociotechnical Module on Conflict Minerals in a Large “Introduction to Circuits” Course
Engineers are often faced with complex problems that require both technical and social expertise. However, typical engineering curricula teach technical skills in isolation, without introducing social issues. To address this gap, we implemented a sociotechnical module that linked the circuits topic of capacitors with the social issue of conflict minerals in a single class session of a large “Introduction to Circuits” course. Using a midterm stude…
Celebrating and Leveraging Classroom Geographic and Cultural Diversity to Enhance Student Learning
In the fall of 2022, we offered a pedagogically redesigned sociotechnical environmental engineering elective for junior and senior undergraduates that applied place-based and culturally sustaining pedagogies. The course featured a project designed to facilitate the celebration and leveraging of classroom geographic and cultural diversity to enhance student learning about water sustainability. We analyzed the students’ written project reflections …
“These Different Ideas, Traditions, and Values Make My Thinking Unique and Creative”
Contribution: This article focuses on the study of Native Hawaiian student experiences in engineering education. Telling these stories illustrates the importance of legitimizing and appreciating different knowledge types in engineering as we move toward a more inclusive and sustainable field. Background: Native Hawaiian engineering students live oppressive realities due to the history of settler colonialism and occupation that attempted to erase …
“Stepping Out” for Military Service
Our qualitative study explores the experiences of engineering students serving in the Reserves or National Guard (RANG) to identify the unique challenges they face when trying to fulfill their contemporaneous educational and military commitments. To expand literature on military-connect students and veterans studies, we draw from the literature on stop-out students and use a framework of precarity to understand their college experience. Our analy…
Midfield
Contribution: This work provides evidence of various approaches to studying longitudinal student unit record data in undergraduate education in the USA and the outcomes that can be realized using a large multi-institutional longitudinal dataset, Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD). Background: Cross-sectional studies introduce a variety of sources of error in estimating student pathways and outcomes…
Transitions of Student Military Veterans into Engineering Education
As student veterans transition to four-year institutions from the military, they navigate pathways that are often neither linear nor easy. Using Turner’s theory of liminality, we examine student veterans’ perspectives of the transition from military to civilian life. Interviewees include 60 student veterans from all military branches from four universities in the USA. Student veterans describe successes and challenges as they matriculate into eng…
Compassionate Flexibility and Self-Discipline
The global pandemic of COVID-19 brought about the transition to Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) at higher education institutions across the United States, prompting both students and the faculty to rapidly adjust to a different modality of teaching and learning. Other crises have induced disruptions to academic continuity (e.g., earthquakes, hurricanes), but not to the same extent as COVID-19, which has affected universities on a global scale. In…

Digging deeper
Military student veterans’ distinct life pathways often make it difficult for educational researchers to adequately capture and represent the challenges and opportunities they face in college. Thus, student veteran educational programs and policies are often built on inaccurate notions about their experiences and identities. Using Veteran Critical Theory as an organizing framework, this article describes two qualitative methods used in a study of…

Micro- and Macroscale Ideas of Current Among Upper-Division Electrical Engineering Students
The concept of electric current is fundamental in the study of electrical engineering (EE). Students are often exposed to this concept in their daily lives and early in middle school education. Lower-division university courses are usually limited to the study of passive electronic devices and simple electric circuits. Semiconductor physics is an upper-division course that presents the physics behind semiconductor devices in depth and exposes the…
Multi-Institution Study of Student Demographics and Outcomes in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the USA
Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Engineering (CpE) programs have similar curricula, but different demographics and student outcomes. This paper extends earlier longitudinal studies to a larger and more diverse dataset with 90 000 first-time-in-college and 26 000 transfer students who majored in engineering at USA institutions, including students who started in first-year engineering programs, those switching majors, and those transferring…
Latinos and the exclusionary space of engineering education
Trajectories of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Students by Race and Gender
Electrical engineering (EE) is one of the largest engineering disciplines. Computer engineering (CpE) has a similar curriculum, but different demographics and student outcomes. Using a dataset from universities in the U.S. that includes over 70 000 students who majored in engineering, this paper describes the out comes for students matriculating in and migrating into EE and CpE so as to inform the decision making of faculty, department heads, and…
Quebrando Fronteras
Engineering, a field that has shaped the world’s industrial and technological base, is ripe for an influx of Latino undergraduate students. Given U.S. Latino population increases, what is the trajectory of Latino participation in engineering education? Using an interdisciplinary lens, we critically examine Latino trends in undergraduate engineering education in the United States. We find that Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are particularly …
Optoelectronics experiments for first-year engineering students
This paper describes a set of experiments in optoelectronics for first-year engineering students. This laboratory experience is comprised of five inexpensive and transportable modules that provide a hands-on introduction to optoelectronics, these modules include different types of emitters, light-emitting diode (LED) colors, optical voice link, total internal reflection and waveguiding. Designed by a senior electrical engineering student, these m…
