Abstract

He has been official Technical Teacher at Ministry of Education in Iran from 2007 to 2018, and received many certificate in education such as Educational Planning, Developing Research Report, and Understanding School Culture. During these years, he has taught construction courses in several technical schools. Mr. Beigpourian currently works in the CATME project, which is NSF funding project, on optimizing teamwork skills and assessing the quality of Peer Evaluations.

“…Le sfide sono ancora maggiori se si considera la presenza delle ragazze nei percorsi scolastici e le successive carriere come ingegnere e scienziate della Terra, entrambe strettamente legate ai campi delle materie prime, ma tradizionalmente considerate maschili e con un evidente squilibrio di genere (Millward et al, 2006;Lahiri-Dutt, 2012). Quest'ultimo deve essere superato per raggiungere i livelli più elevati di creatività ed innovazione che di solito accompagnano team eterogenei (Beigpourian, Ohland, 2019).…”

WIP: Engineering As a Social Discipline: Shaping First-Year Students’ Understanding

“…Addressing these misconceptions in the engineering curriculum could improve retention for students who are socially inclined and indicate altruistic reasons for choosing a career in science and engineering, particularly women and historically underrepresented students [7], [8], [9], [10]. Just as race and ethnicity may impact the inner workings of engineering teams [11], issues of race and ethnicity may influence who benefits from technology [12]. Hence, it is critical for firstyear engineering students to begin to understand engineering and engineering design as processes that are inherently social and subject to unconscious bias.…”

Teamwork Perception in Engineering Programs through the Lens of Gender and Race

“…Beigpourian and Ohland [20] conducted a systematized review on the role of gender and race in teamwork in undergraduate engineering classrooms to highlight pertaining factors in the area of women and minorities' teamwork that have been investigated in prior studies. They extracted key terms related to race and gender in engineering Teamwork including collaboration, communication, leadership and self-efficacy, peer evaluation, perceptions of professors and students, team effectiveness and outcome, and team formation.…”
