to see how their opinions differ from the public in the past,particularly the higher percentage with the opinion that many more atomic bombs should havebeen used before Japan had a chance to surrender.Another highlight of the course is the introduction to the language of nuclear engineering as wemove through the course. This ensures students are prepared to intelligently read and discussmaterial related to nuclear engineering in the future. The instructor found great examples fromThe Language of Nuclear Science written by Francois Kertesz, which was used internally by OakRidge National Laboratory in the 1960s [6]. The course starts with borrowed words, such asfission from the word describing cellular division in biology. The course then
socialization in relation to their research questions. For sixout of the seven articles, socialization is seen as a process which occurs in the background as animplication of the factors being investigated, rather than the main topic of study. For example,Blaney et al. (2020) investigate the relationship between doctoral students and post-doctoralscholars in laboratory settings, while Posselt et al. (2018) look at faculty support of graduatestudent well-being. In both of these examples, socialization is a process which occurs, but notnecessarily the topic of study in its own right. However, Sallee (2011) takes a different approach,looking at socialization as a rich topic to be explored and understood, investigating therelationships between gender

programs, perspectives from students and faculty are critical. These shared impressionsdemonstrate how this program responds to calls for graduate STEM education to evolve inaddressing changes in science and engineering, the nature of the workforce, and career goals. TheNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2018) call for STEM doctoralprograms that go beyond alignment to components of traditional degrees to expand experiences inthe laboratory or fieldwork, workshops, internships and other opportunities that establishes acritical mission that will “stimulate curiosity; develop the intellectual capacity to recognize,formulate, and communicate complex problems; create an iterative approach toward solutions,drawing from discipline

GPIP is a novel program within the College ofEngineering that guarantees qualified, academically talented students a paid internship orresearch opportunity if they commit to return to the College the following fall semester. CohortsI and II participated in the Guaranteed Paid Internship Program (GPIP) in Summers 2019 and2020, respectively. Scholars completed their program in academic research laboratories inside oroutside of the University of Illinois at Chicago, technology companies, or makerspace. TheAward Committee members created a survey to evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 on thescholars’ internships status, in

Populations from URMs are the main audience for this REU program.Participants spent a total of 10 weeks in the program. In the first two weeks, participants werehosted at one of the

The recent Mars Science Laboratory Mars2020 Perseverance included 8-10 instruments for an estimate of 2,500 functional interfaces[McKelvin, et al., 2015]. In another example, Lockheed’s Martin F-22 Raptor has an estimate of1.7 million lines of code while the F-35a includes almost 8 million lines of code [Capaccio, 2021].Following previous examples, it could be seen that existing engineering methods, tools, andprocesses would be overwhelmed by the increasing complexity and characteristics of emergingdigital systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Industry 4.0, Model-Based Engineering, andSociety 5.0.Professional

Each participant worked on a CPS project in the laboratory oftheir research mentor and interacted daily with graduate research assistants over the seven weeks.Because we asked participants to translate their research experiences into a curricular unit bycreating a PBL unit for a community college course, we designed the RET to be a PBLexperience for participants. The driving question was “What kinds of energy production andcontrols would we need to travel to Mars?” The entry event on the first day of the RET PBL wasa luncheon featuring videos of the research groups’ on-going projects and a guest speaker,aligned with the driving

Unlike industry internships where theexperience of student interns can depend on how much time and effort engineers or supervisorsput into assigning them meaningful projects, everything in an REU program is intended toprovide the student participants with a positive and enriching experience. REU experiences suchas the one at OU provide not only a research experience, but also multiple opportunities forstudents to grow professionally and academically through seminars, industry or laboratory tours,professional development opportunities, conference presentations, as well as social activitiesmeant to enhance their sense of belonging and increase their sense of self efficacy.

In all of his research, the goal is two-fold: (1) exploring fundamental cognitive processes related to learning to add to our theoretical understanding, and (2), where appropriate, applying this knowledge to improve education. An assumption underlying his research approach is that current educational issues provide investigators with some of the most compelling research topics and that rigorous empirical work aids us in making the education process more successful.

student in chemical engineering. As an undergraduate student, healong with several fellow students struggled with a lack of understanding in a requiredcourse in numerical and computational methods (NCM). Despite the fact that heobtained a good grade in this course, he did not retain or fully grasp much of theinformation taught in this course. He eventually learned computational methods whileworking at research laboratories and by doing some personal research on mathematicalmodeling. Thus, he is motivated to explore the literature on the topic of numerical andcomputational methods in engineering and computing education, which cansubsequently help to broaden the understanding of these methods and ensure that futurestudents have a better experience

Due tothis being a work in progress no assessment has been conducted at this time. In addition, thecourse is only 0.5 credit hours for the student. Due to this low number of hours and the course,being conducted in the fashion of a laboratory course but with the deliverables being design andfabrication of components for the Baja SAE car no assignments and exams were administered.In the future, an increase in hours would allow for homework problems and/or exams to beconducted. Once this change in credit hours is made, a cross-sectional study of the students’work can be conducted. The cross-sectional study will compare

significantly affected.Introduction and Background It is easy to say that the COVID-19 pandemic challenged teaching techniques andprocedures at traditional institutions of higher education, but quantifying these consequences ofCOVID is difficult, especially for engineering specialties. Did students perform better inengineering classes thanks to the responsiveness and availability of online instruction, or did theysuffer with the loss of laboratories and demonstrations in the standard classroom? Numerous researchers have grappled with this question, across many disciplines andaround the world. Fundamentally, it appears that COVID lockdown periods, especially thoseearly in the pandemic’s development (2020), increased the state of stress
). Specifically, I-Corps addresses thelack of knowledge academic researchers have about technology entrepreneurship giventhat few receive such training as part of their doctoral programs (Duval-Couetil, et al.,2020). As a result, more are likely to conform to conventional cultural norms inacademia which incentivize obtaining funding to support research and laboratories,rather than pursuing commercialization opportunities (Huyghe & Knockaert, 2015).Hayter et al. (2018), stated that “limited attention has been placed on the role of nationalprograms and policies and their critical role supporting academic entrepreneurship” (p.1059). Considering this, I-Corps offers a valuable context for examining the ability of aprogram to promote and grow involvement
