when they apply to either graduate school or apply for an industrial position. Thesearticulation skills are practiced in class in the form of personal reflections. The four requirementsof the project are that the scholars work in a group, they use their new and growing STEMskillset, the project must benefit the community, and it must be sustainable. In this casesustainable means that the project itself can continue for multiple years, with new studentspossibly taking over. The projects that are currently under way include STEM educationprogramming, Mental Health Information, Expanding Local Food Options, and AssessingCollege Energy Usage.Program GoalsThe program, as funded by the NSF S-STEM grant, has four goals set forth in the

We took field trips to thecommunity partner organizations and students were asked to share reflections on needs theyidentified, and hypothetical case studies were created out of the BOOST projects. The studentsalso learned to communicate and interact professionally with the community partners. Studentswere assigned to project teams and met with the faculty mentors to begin forming team bondsand brainstorming conceptual designs, and discussing potential ethical issues that wouldinfluence their decisions. Since the Summer program was only six weeks, this preliminary phaseduring the Ethics course

the lack of experiential opportunity mayhave impacted the latter group’s motivation to interact with the product or collaborate with oneanother, thus limiting their collective understanding of the product. All groups experienced more P3 (attempting to solve) than any other collaborativeprocess, reflecting the same trend revealed in historical data of engineering students solving non-scaffolded ill-structured design tasks [10]. Indeed, the group with the highest P3 also had themost physical interaction with the product, suggesting that the other three problem-solvingprocesses were not as inherent to hands-on learning. As ongoing research has since found thatmore balanced participation among the four processes can improve students

engineeringeducation.In this research, the quality assurance mechanism of engineering education is a continuouslyimproved, well-organized, and fully-participated mechanism. Its effective operation must bebased on a specific methodology and rely on specific quality management ideas and methods.Continuous quality improvement (CQI) is such an idea developed from TQM, refers to aspecific deliberate process that can optimize the quality outcome of a system [7]. Theapplication of CQI in the engineering education is reflected in two levels, i.e. institutionalaccreditation and program accreditation. First of all, the CQI concept continues to shape andcondense accreditation culture, influence and internalize the thoughts and behaviors from theleaders to the general

To extract competencies for entry-level AM rural jobs, we used adeductive approach with multiple methods.

FollowingPurdue University, Virginia Tech had a degree equal to 255. The nodes with the highest degree inour collaboration network are mostly the institutions that are classified as research-orientedinstitutions according to the Carnegie classification. These nodes are often referred to as hubs,and calculating degree is the quickest way of identifying hubs. Betweenness centrality is another network measure useful to capture broker nodes thatstand between groups and give the network connectivity and cohesion [18].

Workshop teams of facilitators and coaches structured the pivot to remote learningeffectively and efficiently, reflecting the entrepreneurial mindset that infuses the workshops. Thepandemic created an opportunity to build community and connections using new tools.In this paper we share how the workshop teams of 47 facilitators and coaches restructured theirworkshops, creating value for

By working with her mentor through eachstep in the research process, the student gained confidence in her abilities to be successful inresearch. With minimal previous research experience, the student was initially reluctant tocommit to the rigors of graduate school research for fear of failure, despite having interest inresearch. This project’s success encouraged the student to choose a research-based master’sdegree program and provided the confidence necessary to pursue her interests.The OTEC project provided a unique opportunity for the student to explore and reflect on herinterests.

Whileacknowledgment of these ideas is encouraging for a progressive future, the demographic profile of thestudent population in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, despitesignificant gains, does not reflect that of the nation. The lack of diversity; gender, racial, and ethnic sexualinequality; and lack of an inclusive culture are still prevalent in the fields of STEM, especially at theuniversity level (Winkle-Wagner et al 2018).
