technologies, there is a lack of an appropriate textbook and pedagogical approach forassisting students in developing such technological skills. It is critical to incorporate 3D printingtechnologies into curricula in such a way that it improves student engagement and subjectknowledge acquisition. Since 3D printing education fosters active engagement rather thanpassive learning, it could be an empowering experience for STEM students [10]. Likewise, 3Dprinting technology can also be integrated into construction education to address low-costhousing challenges and prepare the future construction workforce for evolving practices and theuse of construction technology in the industry.Several studies have investigated the impact of integrating 3D printing

emphasizes the need forstudents to visualize concepts which for many is not an inherent skill. This is particularly true inthe case of structural failures caused by design/material issues or natural phenomena such asearthquakes. The probability of a student, let alone a practicing engineer, observing first-hand thefailure of a column, beam, or any other structural component/system is extremely rare. Only fewof the best-resourced universities can afford to conduct failure tests in order to provide theirundergraduate/graduate students with some insight into these issues because the equipment andmaterials for such tests are highly expensive.Structural failures due to design/material problems amount to only several hundred over the courseof a decade [1

] also noted that the majority of PhDs earned by Black students were concentratedin biological and biomedical sciences with considerably fewer in other science fields. In manystudies, the reporting of Black graduates was an admixture of Blacks from the US and abroad.Studies consistently report welcoming, supportive, and nurturing environments as the reason forHBCUs’ success in contributing to the representation of Black people in science [7],environments that were less focused on competitiveness [4]. Research [15] indicated that"HBCUs embody the best practices for educating students who are marginalized in otherlearning environments" and found that HBCUs “better foster[ed] academic and social integrationin science and engineering among Blacks

The purpose of this research is to identify the self-reported activities of engineeringinstructors and how this changed over the course of three semesters during the COVID-19pandemic. Approximately 40 engineering instructors from a large Midwestern R1 Universityvoluntarily completed online surveys in during Spring 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021semesters about their engagement in teaching-related activities and the perceived normality ofthat engagement. Descriptive statistics were used to examine general trends in activityengagement for each semester and to compare activity engagement across all three semesters.Across all three semesters, instructors most often reported engaging in self

Interviews are influenced by ethnographic methods and followed six structured questions designed to fit into a twenty-minute interview format [30]. Questions covered what students like best about the ISBL modules, suggestions for improvement, navigation experience, impact on learning, recommendations for future users, and an “Anything else to add” question. Interview notes were taken and analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques from Grounded Theory to produce a set of themes across student experiences [31].Student
. The scarcity ofemergency health care for non-COVID related illness also adds to the stress experienced bystudents. Any similar symptoms to COVID-19 experienced by individuals has been found to causesevere anxiety and fear among students.The lack of access to Laboratory test equipment has had the greatest impact in engineering andengineering technology courses, many of which have a laboratory component. Simulationexercises have mostly been used to address this need, but students have complained that theseexercises do not have the same feel as training of actual laboratory test equipment. The gradualreopening of campus facilities with strict Covid policies in place has helped some to alleviate thisproblem.IV. Capstone Design Project Issues with

However, there are reports from employers andresearchers that undergraduate students are not prepared for solving these kinds of problems whenthey graduate 8,9 .One of the reasons for this skills gap is that the majority of problem-solving in traditionalundergraduate engineering programs consists of solving textbook problems. Textbook problemsare designed to exercise a limited set of knowledge and skills, and thus may not reflect theproblem-solving practices that are used in real-world settings. Textbook problems do not allowroom for students to make their own assumptions, decide what information is needed, decide howto present their findings, etc. Project-based learning, such as

entrepreneurially based projects: Sustainable Engineering andUniversal Design. The Sustainable Engineering project, referred to as Product Archaeologybefore the 2019-2020 academic year, was centered around the life cycle of a specific product.Students were instructed to perform background research to develop their curiosity. Theyconducted experiments and data analysis to develop their ability to draw connections betweentheir data and its potential interpretations. Meanwhile the students drew conclusions about theproduct in the contexts of design, economics, impacts, and sustainability to understand how theirproduct creates value for society [12, 35-37]. The second project, Universal Design, wascentered around the seven elements of the engineering design

For research purposes, the AUT can beused as a measure of an individual’s potential for divergent thinking. For instructional purposes,the AUT may instead be used as an exercise to show benefits from individual versus team levelcreative problem solving, as a warm up step before students tackle a more complex design task,or to exemplify the varying performance levels in creative problem situations as faculty teachabout the importance of creativity. Typically, the novelty and originality of AUT responses arelater evaluated by human raters, often professors and

the capstone sequence aims to provide a structure to supportstudent development of an entrepreneurial mindset. Per KEEN [4], “An entrepreneurial mindsetis a collection of mental habits that empower you to question, adapt, and make positive change,leading you to: recognize and identify opportunities, focus on their impact, create value in anycontext.” The PME require students to practice these habits not just at the ideation stage of theproject, but throughout the whole engineering design process. Through the weekly assigning oftasks at team meetings, students need to recognize and identify opportunities for theircontributions to the team.
