ENE Ph.D. Candidate Adrian Nat Gentry talks about a comparative case study performed to assess undergraduate engineering students' access to professional skills opportunities through the Integrated Engineering Programme at University College London.

As part of a Purdue University School of Engineering Education project funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities, this event connects researchers at Purdue and beyond who are working at the intersection of humanities, social sciences, and engineering disciplines to facilitate creative conversations that could inspire future research.

Ohio State Assistant Professor of Practice Zahra Atiq will present case studies illustrating how a multi-modal approach to education research has been employed to analyze the cognitive, emotional, and motivational factors that influence novice programmers' learning processes; then highlight the challenges with implementing the methodologies.

Purdue librarians Kelly Burns, Kevin Wiggins, and Nina Collins will present an hour-long, virtual (ZOOM) workshop on the changing landscape of scholarly publishing and how it impacts scholarship.

As part of the Graduate Student Seminar Exchange Program, University of Cincinnati Ph.D. Candidate Sukeerti Shandliya will break down her mixed-methods study aimed at better understanding the nature and extent of transformative learning within various experiential programs in engineering formation.

Catherine Berdanier, a Penn State associate professor of mechanical engineering, will talk about research on doctoral and graduate student success and the factors that impact attrition, including lack of "socialization" into the program as well as "invisible" competencies that impact persistence and career trajectories.

Stop by the annual FYE Design Competition February 26th to view design projects from Purdue's newest influx of engineering students. A fair in the ARMS atrium will showcase projects that demonstrate First-Year Engineering (FYE) students' teaming, creativity, problem solving and engineering design skills.

Dr. Felicity McLure from Charles Darwin University in Australia talks about a survey of middle school students there that revealed stereotypical views as to who engages with STEM careers. A subsequent wearable electronics project helped change attitudes. *This is a ZOOM-only seminar

Dr. Grant Fore with Indiana University Indianapolis will explore the importance of virtue ethics within engineering education and outline the foundational logic of science as a care practice.

Primary and secondary schools in the Netherlands have been legally required to promote active citizenship and social integration since 2006, with little guidance. Assistant Professor Duru Bayram from Eindhoven University of Technology talks about approaches to citizenship education there, relevant policy regulations, and how integrating socio-scientific issues into science lessons can enhance citizenship learning.
