The orderof the questions in the table does reflect the analysis progression through the aggregated data.Thus, the first order of events was to determine the popular skill selections for manufacturers andeducators. Once those selection percentages were reviewed, the degree of popularity by groupwas explored.

These questions were targeted to get students' individual opinionsabout challenges they experience in their STEM courses, strategies to stay focused in theircourses, and steps students take to mitigate these challenges. Later, we divided these studentsinto seven focus groups comprising five groups of four students and two groups of five students.In the focus groups, students collectively reflected on their learning challenges and strategies thatworked for them. Also, students suggested the factors that influenced their decision on theirfuture in a STEM career. The students' focus group discussion were video recorded.

Work-in-Progress: Engaging First-Year Students in Programming 1 During COVID-19AbstractDuring the Fall 2020 semester, it became even more important than before to engage students inthe “classroom” whether that be in-person, online, or a hybrid model. This paper will introducevarious entrepreneurial mindset (EM) techniques to engage students that could be adapted to anyengineering course. All the techniques have suggestions for adapting to a fully online course aswell as working for an in-person or hybrid class. The first activity presented will be name signswith badges that will promote (1) setting, evaluating, and achieving goals, (2) self-reflection, (3)considering a problem from multiple viewpoints, and (4

Thefirst is that students entering the mechanical engineering department as a freshman compared towhen they prepare to leave the school after graduation their knowledge of the design process hasgrown to reflect what they have learned over their education. Another conclusion is that it isimportant to teach the steps to the design process to the students as first year

Previous studies have discussed the impact of design, development, and use ofeducational technology tools on creating an interactive learning environment for students.However, in the realm of user experience, limited studies explored the context of technology andstudents’ experiences while interacting with educational technology tools, such as students’perceived ease of use. Accordingly, this work in progress study explores reflections of students’experience while interacting with the most commonly used education technology tools inpostsecondary classrooms.

In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy. Such efforts to create are often stimulated in capstone design classes but can also be invoked in smaller projects in lower- level courses.Promoting the integration, design, and evaluation capabilities of students is

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.
