Joint CLaSP/MIPSE seminar | The Giant Planets as Unique Laboratories for Space Plasma Processes (September 14, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110358 110358-21824812@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 14, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Climate and Space Research Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
This talk will introduce space plasma processes in the environments of giant planets and explore them through the lens of spacecraft measurements. The aim is to present a high-level overview of what we learn about planetary environments by virtue of such measurements, both remotely and in situ. Plasma waves are responsible for the energization and heating of charged particles and energy transport in the environments of giant planets. They play a central role in auroral and radiation belt dynamics, moon/ring coupling with the magnetosphere, and driving atmospheric loss.
The environments of giant planets also provide unique access to the extremities of the parameter space to explore fundamental plasma physics, not seen anywhere else in the solar system. An example is the low-altitudes of Jupiter, where the plasma is ultra-magnetized (fce/fpe ~ 10^3 – 10^4). Another is the helio-centric distances of the orbits of giant planets, where the Mach numbers can exceed 100, affording opportunities to experimentally test limits of wave-particle interactions and collisionless shock wave theory, respectively.

About the Speaker:
Ali H. Sulaiman joined the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota in 2022. He received his Ph.D. in Space Physics at Imperial College London in 2016. His research specializes in the physics of plasma waves in gas giant systems, and their critical role in the dynamics of their auroras, magnetospheres, and ionospheres. His research portfolio is built on his involvement in NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter, NASA/ESA’s Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and ESA’s future Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission to Jupiter. Ali was the recipient of the 2019 University of Iowa Postdoctoral Scholar Excellence Award, the 2017 International Union of Radio Science Young Scientists Award, and the 2016 Springer Thesis Prize (Recognizing Outstanding PhD Research).

Mentoring From a Blank Slate: A Challenge for Multidisciplinarity (September 21, 2023 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112726 112726-21829468@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 21, 2023 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

This seminar is Hybrid (Presentation Room 1180, Duderstadt Center and via Zoom).

Abstract: Science and engineering are increasingly multidisciplinary. Many researchers encounter career challenges when adopting methods from fields outside their formal training. For example, faculty who shift disciplines need to acquire new skills while fulfilling their mentoring responsibilities to students who join them in the new field. We used collaborative autoethnography to study a tripartite mentoring relationship between an experienced engineering education researcher and two novice education researchers who have backgrounds in engineering—a biomedical engineering faculty member and graduate student. Using data from written reflections and interviews, we explored the role of instrumental and psychosocial supports in our mentoring relationship. We noted how elements of cognitive apprenticeship such as scaffolding and gradual fading of instrumental supports helped novices learn qualitative research skills that differed drastically from their biomedical engineering research expertise. While our mentoring relationship was overall very positive, it has included many moments of miscommunication and misunderstanding. We draw on Lent and Lopez’s idea of relation-inferred self-efficacy to explain some of these missed opportunities for communication and understanding. Our initial mentoring model failed to consider how challenging it is for mentees to make the paradigm shift from technical engineering to social science research and how that would affect a faculty member’s ability to mentor students in a new field. Our experiences have implications for expanding research capacity because they raise practical and conceptual issues for experienced and novice researchers to consider as they form mentoring relationships.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

This seminar is Hybrid (Presentation Room 1180, Duderstadt Center and via Zoom).

Abstract: Science and engineering are increasingly multidisciplinary. Many researchers encounter career challenges when adopting methods from fields outside their formal training. For example, faculty who shift disciplines need to acquire new skills while fulfilling their mentoring responsibilities to students who join them in the new field. We used collaborative autoethnography to study a tripartite mentoring relationship between an experienced engineering education researcher and two novice education researchers who have backgrounds in engineering—a biomedical engineering faculty member and graduate student. Using data from written reflections and interviews, we explored the role of instrumental and psychosocial supports in our mentoring relationship. We noted how elements of cognitive apprenticeship such as scaffolding and gradual fading of instrumental supports helped novices learn qualitative research skills that differed drastically from their biomedical engineering research expertise. While our mentoring relationship was overall very positive, it has included many moments of miscommunication and misunderstanding. We draw on Lent and Lopez’s idea of relation-inferred self-efficacy to explain some of these missed opportunities for communication and understanding. Our initial mentoring model failed to consider how challenging it is for mentees to make the paradigm shift from technical engineering to social science research and how that would affect a faculty member’s ability to mentor students in a new field. Our experiences have implications for expanding research capacity because they raise practical and conceptual issues for experienced and novice researchers to consider as they form mentoring relationships.

Creating Computing Education Beyond Engineering (October 5, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113163 113163-21830171@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 5, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

The term “computer science” was invented as something that should be taught to everyone in order to facilitate learning other subjects and to reduce the danger of having a powerful new technology controlled by only a few. Computing education has not become the democratizing force imagined in the 1960’s. Today, computer science has a narrow definition and is mostly about getting a high-paying technology job. If we want to reach the original and more general goal, we have to change how we teach computing and support alternative end-points for computing education. In this talk, I review the history of “computer science” and its earlier purpose. I describe and demonstrate new kinds of languages, approaches, and courses that broaden accessibility to computing education.

This seminar is HYBRID (in-person and via Zoom). Refreshments will be provided if you join us in-person.

We are excited to invite all interested students to attend an open house to learn about the UM's graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). UM's EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model: EER Ph.D. students (who enjoy a full funding package) and M.S. students are part of a college-wide program, while several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments. The integrated nature of the program allows the EER faculty and their research groups to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, and it provides students a better opportunity to engage in innovative research and make scholarly contributions to the engineering education community. More information about the program is available at our EER website (https://eer.engin.umich.edu/)

Students from all institutions are invited to attend (a Zoom link will be emailed prior to the program). Participants will hear about the EER graduate program, meet faculty who are recruiting students for AY 2024-25, and learn about career opportunities as a UM graduate in this field. Application fee waivers will be provided to those who attend.

International Perspectives on Teamwork in Engineering Education (November 9, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114745 114745-21833411@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 9, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Teamwork or collaboration skills are integral to contemporary engineering practice and are highly valued in academic and industry settings. ABET also considers vital teamwork skills as one key student learning outcome for accreditation and evaluation of engineering education. Research shows that student learning outcomes are highly affected by faculty beliefs about teaching and learning. Effective professional development programs for faculty need to understand their beliefs as these beliefs shape their teaching practices. As engineering practice and engineering education are becoming increasingly globalized, we need to take a more culturally relevant approach to understand how key competencies such as teamwork are culturally constructed and how the development of faculty beliefs is affected by broader cultural factors. In this seminar, Yi will introduce some of her educational background and research experiences to provide an international lens to understand teamwork in engineering education. She will then present a systematic review of the existing Chinese literature on how Chinese faculty conceptualize teamwork in the classroom. In conclusion, she will also talk about some parts of her dissertation, how faculty in the US develop their teaching beliefs about teamwork.

Faculty Communities within Professional Organizations: Influencing Social Responsibility Teaching in Engineering Education (December 7, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115746 115746-21835458@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 7, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: Professional organizations (POs) are established communities that significantly influence the competencies and values of engineers, but the impact of their interaction with academia on undergraduate education is not fully understood. This study addresses this gap by exploring how engineering faculty in POs strategically incorporate social responsibility into their teaching. Relying on Paulo Freire's critical consciousness and the Transformational Agency framework, it examines faculty reflections on societal and power dynamics for curriculum change.

Conducted over eight months, the study focuses on a Community of Practice (CoP) within the American Institute of Chemical Engineering’s Education Division, engaging faculty from multiple institutions. We employed qualitative methods, analyzing interview data through thematic analysis with In-Vivo and Axial coding. Preliminary results highlight how the CoP influences faculty’s reflective practices and understanding of societal structures, suggesting it enhances educators' critical awareness and ability to integrate social responsibility into their teaching. The findings deepen our understanding of POs’ role in evolving engineering education. They showcase how educators’ involvement in POs can shape socially responsible engineers, addressing the complex societal roles engineers face. This seminar aims to inspire educators with strategies for creating transformative learning environments.

Tailored Nudges Improve Students’ Scores on Mastery-based Assignments (January 11, 2024 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116492 116492-21837233@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 11, 2024 2:00pm

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: Mastery-based assignments typically provide students with multiple opportunities to improve their performance, but getting students to take advantage of these opportunities is difficult. We report on the implementation of a two-part series of nudges designed to improve students’ engagement with and performance on mastery-based assignments in high-enrollment, introductory undergraduate courses. Students received one or two email-based nudges for each assignment, providing both decision information and decision assistance. Delivered via email by a digital coaching system that provides tailored support to students, we evaluated the effectiveness of viewing versus not viewing these personalized nudges across introductory courses in mathematics, computer science, and engineering over five terms at a large, research-intensive university. We find that viewing versus not viewing nudges is significantly related to improved outcomes. Viewing the first of the two-part nudge series is associated with a 3% increase in scores on average. Importantly, we found a significant interaction with prior academic performance such that students with the lowest average academic performance across all courses are predicted to benefit the most—up to 9%—from nudging.

Stuart Batterman (Environmental Health Sciences) and Simone Sagovac (Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision) will discuss the local impact of fugitive dust on air quality. Moderated by Natalie Sampson (University of Michigan Dearborn).

What is fugitive dust: it's when significant atmospheric dust arises from the mechanical disturbance of granular material exposed to the air. Dust generated from these open sources is termed "fugitive" because it is not discharged to the atmosphere in a confined flow stream. Common sources of fugitive dust include unpaved roads, agricultural tilling operations, aggregate storage piles, and heavy construction operations.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: Researchers have shown that students are most likely to leave engineering undergraduate programs during their first two years. Justifiably, several studies have investigated engineering student persistence and attrition, especially during the first year, and then informed the development of interventions to address the challenges. While those interventions have improved freshmen retention in some institutions, less has been published on the impacts of these interventions on the sophomore student experience. In this study, we examined the experiences of sophomore engineering students and explored how these experiences relate to their identities as engineers. We conducted this study using photovoice, a methodology/intervention in which participants submit photographs to help describe their experiences and give recommendations on improving their experiences and resolving their concerns. Through empowering participants to co-construct the knowledge, we were able to see what interest, competence, and recognition as engineers looked like from the student’s perspectives. This work has the potential to yield practical solutions that institutional stakeholders can implement, such as intentionally creating cultures of well-being, self-reflection, and belonging.

Climate change is already having dramatic effects on human health and well-being. How are we adapting to these new realities and mitigating health risks for the world’s most vulnerable communities? Join us for the third seminar of the series: Climate Vulnerability & Health — How are we Responding?

In this talk, Dr. Pimentel Walker and Dr. Junghans will explore innovative housing solutions for climate resilience in self-built settlements in São Paulo, Brazil and Bucaramanga, Colombia.

Register: https://myumi.ch/Qqy5E


Full description:
Heat is a growing health risk aggravated by expanding urbanization, an increase in high-temperature extremes, and demographic changes. Communities living in precarious settlements are disproportionately vulnerable to extreme heat. Although building techniques to improve indoor thermal comfort can be an adaptation option, we lack design research tailored to the realities of self-built homes. Design research for passive cooling frequently stems from building standards in the Global North. In the Global South, these strategies target middle-class buildings, with higher-end formal construction built by design professionals and engineers.

This pilot project conducted an ethnographic account of auto-construction practices and constraints in two informal and precarious settlements in São Paulo, Brazil, and Bucaramanga, Colombia. The computational simulations identified interventions that theoretically improve occupant thermal comfort by increasing air velocity and lowering indoor temperatures, ultimately reducing heat stress. Our collaborative research in Burkina Faso has already implemented interventions, and it is in the assessment stage. However, are all identified passive cooling strategies equally feasible and responsive to community expectations? Working with community members and their advocacy networks, we plan to co-develop passive cooling strategies that are desirable and achievable, amplifying the voices of low-income residents in the policy agendas for climate and housing justice.

Latinx Research Week 2024 (March 11, 2024 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/119599 119599-21843054@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 11, 2024 12:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Puentes

Puentes is excited about its upcoming Latinx Research Week (LRW). Latinx Research Week is an interdisciplinary, conference-style series of events that we host annually on campus to uplift research being conducted by Latinx staff, faculty, and students, as well as research relevant to Latinx populations. This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions, allocate space for over 70 presenters, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year.

he theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support, loyalty, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program, we hope attendees will reflect on, interrogate, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge, welcome, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years, we have seen spouses, partners, siblings, parents, children, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers, cohort-mates, best friends, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families, chosen or otherwise, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate, inspire, encourage, humanize, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

This year Latinx Research Week will be held on March 11th - 14th in the Michigan Union. In 2023, we were thrilled to host 16 research sessions, allocate space for over 70 presenters, and welcome over 300 attendees across our events. We hope to see an even greater turn out this year.

he theme for Latinx Research Week 2024 is Illuminating Familismo. Familismo is a psychological construct as well as a protective Latinx cultural value that emphasizes the importance of family support, loyalty, and honor. Through our interdisciplinary program, we hope attendees will reflect on, interrogate, and reimagine how the academy can be transformed to acknowledge, welcome, and illuminate both our biological and chosen familial relationships. In past years, we have seen spouses, partners, siblings, parents, children, and members of the larger Latinx community attend Latinx Research Week in support of their presenting family members, thus reimagining what an academic conference could and should look like. Additionally, we have seen other families in attendance: families of co-workers, cohort-mates, best friends, and lab families to name a few. We recognize that many members of the Puentes familia may be far from home but have still chosen to plant roots here and create meaningful communities of chosen family members at UM. We hope that our curated program will illuminate the importance of familismo and encourage attendees to imagine how we can transform academic spaces into more inclusive spaces that honor our families, chosen or otherwise, and the ways they have supported our academic journeys. Latinx Research Week 2024: Illuminating Familiso highlights the many ways our families motivate, inspire, encourage, humanize, and uplift us as we conduct groundbreaking work in our respective fields.

Understanding Barriers to Mental Health Related Help-Seeking in Undergraduate Engineers (March 14, 2024 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/120131 120131-21844101@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2024 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: The prevalence of mental health disorders on college campuses is of increasing concern. Within engineering, there has been an increase in the amount of research conducted on characterizing student mental health and understanding the influence of engineering culture on mental wellness. Research has shown that engineering students in mental health distress are less likely to have received professional help compared to their peers. This identifies a treatment gap for engineering students, meaning that only a portion of those in mental health distress are seeking professional treatment. Addressing the treatment gap can improve the prognosis of mental health problems and reduce progression to more chronic or severe disorders. Through this talk, I will present results of both qualitative and quantitative research studies aimed at better understanding the beliefs that engineering students have about seeking help for a mental health concern. In particular, I will discuss barriers and facilitators to help-seeking including challenges in navigating the mental healthcare system, the perception that help-seeking is a sacrifice of time and academics, and the importance of mental health culture in engineering. Further, I will talk about the influence of engineering student, faculty and staff messaging on students’ beliefs about help seeking. Results of this work will provide guidance for intervention development to improve mental health related help-seeking in undergraduate engineering students.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Abstract: This proposal explores the accreditation status of engineering programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. Despite HBCUs constituting 3% of higher education institutions, they have played a vital role in preparing diverse and highly skilled engineers. While approximately 23 HBCUs have fully accredited engineering programs, 57% of all engineering degree-granting HBCUs have not achieved accreditation. Drawing from the theory of racialized organizations, this study investigates the disparities in accreditation rates and considers historical implications and stakeholder perspectives at macro, meso, and micro levels. The findings emphasize the need to address accreditation gaps and strengthen engineering degree programs at HBCUs to enrich the diversity and excellence of the engineering profession.

"How NASA is Exploring the Secrets of the Universe, and Improving Life on Earth: The Increasing Role of Commercial Partnerships"

Thomas H. Zurbuchen
Professor and Director ETH Zurich Space, Zurich, Switzerland
NASA’s Head of Science 2016-2022, Washington DC, USA

Since NASA was established in 1958 by President Eisenhower, the expansion of human knowledge of the Earth and of phenomena in the atmosphere and space has been the priority of NASA. Discovery and exploration occur both with robotic and human exploration and it has changed how we think about the universe, our planet, and life beyond Earth. This presentation will focus on a few recent missions, to demonstrate the power of space as a frontier of discovery, and to show how these missions rely on teams that make the impossible possible. It will particularly focus on the evolutionary journey that involves NASA-base agency focused work, and increasingly commercial partnerships that are a critical part of NASA’s Science program.

Science Studies After Historical Epistemology (March 28, 2024 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118591 118591-21841251@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 28, 2024 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of History

Science matters. Over the last half-century, a field—called science studies—has emerged to explain why. Science studies accounts for science’s remarkable authority in many ways, calling attention to techniques of persuasion, regimes of labor, and forms of materiality that underwrite science’s power and practice. Uniting this diverse range of scholarly approaches is a focus on “knowledge.” Since the 1980s, scholars of science studies have focused almost exclusively on the production, circulation, and contestation of knowledge. Knowledge has retained this priority even as its basic categories—objectivity and proof, trust and truth—have come in for historical and social analysis. Science’s importance, in other words, is rooted in its ways of knowing.

This workshop looks beyond “knowledge” for alternative categories and concepts at the edges of science studies. Leading scholars will present a range of critical terms as possible futures for science studies, questioning the identification of “science” and “knowledge” that was cemented with the rise of “historical epistemology” over the last few decades. Drawing on theoretical turns in fields near and far, we will consider the possibility of a science studies centered on roots and vibrations, habits and beliefs, the sacred and the type. The workshop remains committed to the idea that science matters; what participants are after is a new account (or accounts) of why, new frameworks within which old binaries fade from view and new political possibilities emerge.
