Every research project is built on one of four theoretical frameworks: positivism, interpretivism, critical theory, or post-structuralism. Research in engineering disciplines, such as Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering, are appropriately based in positivism. In Social Science research, such as education, however, positivism is frequently not the best theoretical framework from which to operate...
Effective teachers use a variety of pedagogies to engage a wider diversity of students, providing a more equitable classroom. In this workshop, participants will explore the use of feminist and liberative pedagogies in CSET classrooms. These pedagogies are founded on the ideals of social justice and democracy. The workshop will include discussions of classroom management strategies, critiques and...
Can you be feminist and an engineer? This paper explores this question and aims to show some of the breadth of experience and meanings involved in constructing this combination. Specifically, for this study we used ourselves as the sample population. We are four women engineers who identify themselves as feminists, with Ph.D. degrees and interests in education. Our backgrounds include electrical,...
A framework is presented for implementing feminist pedagogy along with demonstrative examples from engineering curricula. The framework for incorporating the values of feminism into the learning experience focuses on three aspects: 1) learning management strategies, 2) assessment and evaluation strategies and 3) strategies for critiquing existing power structures and the engineering process. Feminist...
Theoretical frameworks which undergird engineering education research projects greatly influence what questions are investigated, what data is collected from whom, and how that data is analyzed, interpreted, and reported. Traditional methodologies used in engineering education research are based on implicit norms and values which have influenced our understanding of the engineering education system...
Feminist pedagogy has been theorized, applied, and evaluated in many different disciplines, including women's studies, communication studies, education, and cultural studies. Until recently, however, this term was extremely rare in CSET education. This paper is the first in a collection of four papers that bring feminist pedagogy into CSET education. The goal of this first paper is to introduce background...
This panel discusses several on-going projects of the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). These projects serve to build capacity within and tools for engineering education research and development (R&D) communities as well as to develop tools in support of frontline classroom instructors. Projects discussed includes...
