offers a re-envisioning of engineering education around entrepreneurshipbroadly defined. This ties to existing threads that have been in place for a long time. It is seekingnot to really pave new ground but to re-center entrepreneurial and business-aligned engineeringmore towards the center of the curriculum.3. The NSF Convergence FrameworkWhile EML is defined as a set of skills and mindsets, the definition of convergence is morevague, often focusing more on the pathways to solution of a problem rather than skills useful foran individual. Although definitions of convergent skills are not tabulated in the same way asthose for EML, the authors adopted Roco et al.’s five principles of convergence [11]. These aregiven as: 1. Exploiting

The program was advertised throughseveral venues: media outlets, communication with accepted first-generation students, andpromotion through local high schools. The project team also participated in two “Go To Mines”recruitment events to educate and recruit first-generation students and their families for the 2022cohort and beyond.As a result of these efforts, the SD-FIRST program had 59 applicants during the first applicationcycle. As an NSF S-STEM award, the SD-FIRST program allowed for 15 scholars in the firstcohort and awarded $5,000 per year, renewable for 4 years, per scholar. During this time, theteam was able to work with the

As the US National Academy of Engineering asserted in their report TheEngineer of 2020, while engineering has always engaged multiple stakeholders, it will“increasingly involve interdisciplinary teams, globally diverse team members, public officials,and a global customer base” (National Academy of Engineering U. S., 2004, p. 55; Handford,Van Maele, Matuous, & Maemura, 2019, p. 162). Our research explores whether, in addition totraditional teamwork skills, there are skills specific to working effectively on multidisciplinaryengineering teams that can better prepare students to enter the modern workforce and acceleratetheir ability to deliver meaningful impacts.For the purposes of this paper, we define

We have also found that implementing SCTM during Covid-19 restrictionswas relatively straightforward and students still benefited from this approach.We plan to conduct student post-course surveys to all of our courses in the future. We willcontinuously monitor how these items develop over time and use them to keep improve andrefining our teaching methods.References[1] J.

This study guided thedecision to offer the EML version of the project in the following course offerings and develop asimilar project in the other Biomedical Engineering courses currently offered. However, with therelatively small sample size (a total of 46 students divided into two groups (n=23), it isrecommended to take the conclusions of this study with caution and to continue to test thenewly-developed EML curriculum with a much larger sample size.References[1] J.

. Among the barriers identified in my group’s previous work [13] were “Incorporatingsociotechnical content which is not commonly considered a part of the engineering canon putsextra demands on faculty, including time and energy” ([13], p. 9) and concerns that students whohave been taught to prioritize the technical may not see the sociotechnical assignment as “true”engineering and may therefore object. However, we also observed a number of opportunities,including “the possibility to shift students’ views of engineering to include sociotechnical work”([13], p. 9) and “Instructor optimism and excitement to create meaningful new assignment(s) forimpact their students’ views of engineering and abilities to engineer sociotechnically” ([13], p.9

noted thatwe advocate for inventiveness irrespective of patenting outcomes or the development of world-changing technology; we believe that cultivating inventiveness early, often, and across diversepopulations will result in these distal outcomes and a more diverse set of future leaders, but thesewill still be a small subset of the inventions and inventiveness that is cultivated through theseefforts.The inventiveness of Student WorkWe define inventiveness of products as a combination of novelty, unpredictability, creativity, anduniqueness to the individual(s) who created it.Novelty: A novel product is one that does not significantly resemble existing solutions and/or onethat is not inherently obvious upon examining the problem formulation
work is essential in order to move towards contextual listening practices and ethicalintercultural communication practices. This approach also supports Handford et al.’s [20] notionof “small cultures” and resisting the idea that culture is only an attribute of “foreign people.” Byreflecting on the various cultures they are a part of, students can begin to understand how theirown worldviews influences their approach to engineering (p. 172).In addition, the Design Justice Network offers a series of principles to reframe the way designersthink about how they work with those who are affected by what they create. As we noted earlier,artifacts of engineering culture do not focus on the affected community or, for that matter, theoppressive systems
/social dualism. Social concerns cannot be presented as secondary to engineeringeducation or as an addition to squeeze in when there is a second of free time. In a review editorial,Berdanier [10] acknowledges that there is precedent to integrate the humanities and social sciencesinto engineering education and was called for by founders like Charles Mann (1918) and WilliamWickenden (1920’s). Despite 100 years of various calls to do so, the integration has not gone wellas engineering is perceived as a hard/applied discipline versus a soft/pure field such ascommunication or sociology [10]. Sticking to this distinction allows for the lessons that pertain to“dealing with people” to sit at the margins of the engineering curriculum. Arguably, these need

survey to identify which textbook features students and faculty desired for thepurpose of digital book creation from lecture videos. There were 6 relevant factors listed below,from a validated national survey, the College Student Assessment of Textbooks (CSAT), tomeasure in our study [10]. 1. Practical application to student’s lives and convenience (P). 2. Accessibility (A). 3. Graphs and tables (G). 4. Study aid use (S). 5. Instructor use of the textbook (I). 6. Ease of use (E).Table 1 shows the corresponding multiple questions for each of these factors.The survey consisted of Likert scale questions that measured the above factors, and questions onstudent demographics. The Likert scale questions were organized into two groups. The
