WIP: How Students Externalize Epistemologies: Describing How Students Explain, Ground, and Consciously Construct Their Definitions of Engineering and Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

where she is involved in teaching and engineering education innovation and research. In addition to her PhD in Chemical Engineering, she also has an MA in Educational Studies. She has industrial experience in pharmaceutical product and process development as well as teaching experience at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

Frontier: Discipline-Based Education Research to Advance Authentic Learning in Agricultural and Biological Engineering

“…Further, research has been conducted in a few disciplines to track changes in students' discipline-specific engineering epistemologies across the curriculum and to characterize the epistemologies of students, faculty, and practitioners. Notable studies have occurred in civil engineering (Brown et al, 2013;Montfort et al, 2014) and biomedical engineering (Bell-Huff et al, 2019).…”

Specifications Grading at Scale: Improved Letter Grades and Grading-Related Interactions in a Course with over 1,000 Students

“…See the Supporting Information for examples from non-STEM disciplines. Examples of specifications grading systems in STEM courses in peer-reviewed journals and conference papers come from engineering, − computer science, − mathematics, − biological sciences, ,− physics, , and chemistry. ,,− In the chemistry discipline, our pilot study is the only publication that specifically describes implementing specifications grading in a standalone laboratory course . To date, most published implementations of specifications grading represent small courses with enrollments of 100 or fewer students, and no examples exist of specifications grading used in courses with enrollments of greater than 1,000 students.…”
