Capstone design projects give students the chance to work onreal-world projects, strengthening and linking the information gained during their studies topractical concepts [8].This paper aims to determine the most demanded skills of a graduate in electrical and computerengineering by identifying the curriculum needs based on the skills required by professionalengineers with at least ten

Weshould in designing both research and practice explicitly focus on the intersectionality ofmultiple marginalized identities. The minoritized students in this study who embody intersectional marginalized identitiesface systematic oppression of classism, racism, and sexism. These inequitable experiences shapethe decision-making of a minoritized student to enroll, persist or drop out from the engineeringeducation ecosystem. Those students have to divert resources (cognitive, emotional, time) innavigating engineering

Crafting open-ended homework assignments and projects allows students to designtheir own experiments, enabling them to practice these skills, which are critical for graduate orindustrial R&D. Optimization and decision-making in the presence of competing variables isanother key R&D challenge. Instructors can use open-ended active learning problems to allowstudents to debate the best decision for a problem in groups, showing students that there are oftenmultiple competing priorities and several correct approaches.

Understanding the Situated Workplace Practices and Habits of Engineers Using Agile EthnographyIntroductionThis methods paper describes the application of and insights gained from using aspects of anemerging methodology, agile ethnography, to study engineers working in practice. Research hassuggested that there is a misalignment between what is taught in engineering school and thetypes of work that engineers do in practice [1]. Little is known about the types of engineeringwork that are conducted in practice [2], [3]. In order to best prepare engineering graduates tomeet the demands of the engineering workforce, students should be taught the types ofknowledge and problem-solving strategies that are commonly used by practicing

The diversity of rural teachers’situations contraindicates a one-size-fits-all approach to professional development [16].Nevertheless, Goos, Dole, and Geiger’s assertion that “professional development needs to occurin school-based contexts [9]” is not easily practicable for frontier and remote teachers, especiallyprofessional development focused on specific content areas.

In design-basedresearch (DBR), scholars are striving to model how the design of a learning environment isconsequential for the forms of participation and engagement that emerge in that setting (e.g.design conjectures) [38]. Additionally DBR scholars seek to build claims about how those formsof participation and engagement lead to particular outcomes (e.g. theoretical conjectures) [38].To state this more
