Global ML/AI hiring continues to rise, and the world’s top universities haveincreased their investment in AI education. In fact, from 2017-2021, the number of ML/AIcourses at the undergraduate level has increased by 100%, and at the graduate level by 40% [3].While the shift towards ML/AI

This is the reason that the work for the research project needs to be brokendown to several components and some portions can be covered by multiple capstone projects.This requires careful planning because the capstone course has its unique requirements, whichmay not be consistent with that of the research project. In this paper, two capstone projects were carried out as a part of the building structuralanalysis research project [1-3]. The first capstone team designed and built a custom quadcopterthat could fly close to the building to find potential damage to the building [4][5]. The secondcapstone team designed and built an underwater robot to inspect the portion of a buildingstructures that are

Future workwill include creating social network diagrams in order to visualize connections within each class.Future work should also collect additional responses and include follow-up interviews to betterunderstand student perspectives on connections and virtual learning.IntroductionBecause of gender imbalances in STEM fields, the participation and retention of women in STEMhave been studied for decades [1] [2]. Many factors contribute to gender inequality in STEMeducation, one being social marginalization. Women often enter male-dominated fields and feelunwelcome because

As a part of a major revision tothe undergraduate education curriculum at a southeastern R1 university, a plethora ofmultidisciplinary minors were created.

During the coding phase, the researchersrated “0”, “1” or “2” for each phrase from standards that contained engineering relevance.Similar coding approaches to the K-12 standards exist in other studies (e.g., Yetter, Livengood,& Smith, 2017). For example, the physics O level, Newtonian mechanics-dynamics, has astandard related to engineering context where the key indicator called “sub-indicator of POD –PI” was rated as “1”. As we agreed that the standard met the key indicator requirement. “(d)recall and apply the relationship resultant force = mass × acceleration to new situations or tosolve related problems.” Another key indicator

The latter report came after the widespread implementation of the Next GenerationScience Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013) which include engineering concepts, and thisreport aimed to “consider the capacity of the US education system to meet current andanticipated needs for K–12 teachers of engineering” (NASEM, 2020, p. 1). Following suchreports, the national discourse on P-12 engineering education has shifted from making the casefor teaching engineering in P-12 education to the question of how to do so with excellence. The literature on PCEE has expanded to include new frameworks (Moore et al., 2014),curricula (Chabalengula & Mumba, 2017), and standards for preparing teachers of engineering(Farmer et al., 2014); however, we

Media studiesscholar Melissa Gregg [1], in her analysis of self-help literature, points out that people seekingcareer success are encouraged to identify the types of work that are most important and eliminatenon-essential tasks or delegate them to others. The small team leader is doing what he knows isnecessary for his own career progress. The central tension in this story, however, arrives whenwe consider those to whom the non-essential tasks are delegated, the ability of those individualsto resist or otherwise exercise agency in response, and

This allows engineers to build manyapplications and solve problems that were hard or impossible to solve in the past.

According to ABET [3,4], Data science draws on knowledge, skills and abilities from computing, mathematics, and statistics, allapplied in the context of domains that make use of data. The pervasive reach and multi-disciplinary nature of datascience causes special challenges in uniting traditionally separate disciplines into a coherent approach that produces ethical and well-trained practitioners.
