Pre-College Engineering Education

Secretary’s Commission on Necessary Skills (SCANS) surveyed industry to identifythe most important workforce skills [3]. The commission identified several skills includingcreativity, teamwork, budgeting skills, communication, leadership, project management, andseveral others. In education these are sometimes referred to as industry “soft skills.” They havebeen consolidated into the 4 Cs. The 4 Cs in education are collaboration, communication, criticalthinking and creativity skills [4]. Most preK-12 education is focused on content knowledgebecause it can be listed in standards and tested easily. Skill development is not as easy toobjectively test. As a result, there are no tests for the 4 Cs and they do not reside in academicstandards, and therefore

As reported in [13], minimizing the gender stereotype in a teaching and learning environment enables a sense of belonging and an increases engagement. The use of female role models was actively adopted by this program to mitigate the gender stereotype and increase the engagement of Hispanic female pre-college students. The workshop facilitators and mentors were female individuals from either academia or industry. From the post-workshop survey for pre-college students, having female role models and mentors contributed to increasing the confidence of

As expected, communication is recognized as a core transferable professionalskill,[2] which is reflected in current ABET criteria[6] and publications such as The engineer of2020,[7] prompting pedagogical changes in engineering curricula.[8, 9] At the author’sinstitution, feedback from alumni surveys and the departmental

These typesof activities have become more difficult as we’ve entered an era of social distancing, remotelearning, and other COVID-19 safety protocols.These teaching and learning strategies are being employed and assessed both inside and outsideof the classroom.
