diversity, we cannot claim that oursample was representative of the general population, nor that the sub-samples were large enoughto make claims about the learning outcomes of specific groups of people (e.g., young, minoritymales). With that in mind, we still argue that our sampling strategy consisted of enoughsocioeconomic, demographic, and heritage diversity to sufficiently control for these differenceswhile focusing our attention on the added impact of the presentation type on learning outcomes.ConclusionEffective research communication is an extremely valuable skill that prospective engineers needto develop. Strong communication of engineering research results can illuminate pathwaystoward engineering among public audiences and support more
Paper ID #37710Online Learning During Covid-19 in a Making CenteredEngineering CommunityKelly SadelMelissa Wood Aleman (Professor) Dr. Melissa Aleman (Ph.D. University of Iowa) is Professor of Communication Studies at James Madison University and has published research using qualitative interviewing, ethnographic and rhetorical methods to examine communication in diverse cultural contexts ranging from multicultural families to engineering education and makerspaces. She has advised undergraduate and graduate students in autoethnographic, ethnographic, and qualitative interview projects on a wide- range of topics
so that theengineering profession progresses (Mejia et al., 2020). Hence, pedagogical practices should buildan engineering workforce that reflects diverse communities, thinking, and perspectives. Thereare several well-established pedagogical practices, project-based learning included, that focus onimproving content knowledge, communication, and collaboration, for example, but notnecessarily focus on improving effectual reasoning. To drive innovations, our engineeringgraduates should be prepared not only with strong soft and technical skills, but also with anentrepreneurial mind (Zhu, 2021).Entrepreneurial minded learning (EML) emphasizes seeking opportunities, pursuing innovation,and creating value. For example, Gerhart and Melton (2016

incoming graduate students and advanced undergraduates in BME orrelated disciplines including life science. The wide range of quantitative background of BMEstudents is the main factor that sets this course apart from machine learning courses traditionallytaught in other engineering and computer science programs. A significant proportion of incomingBME Masters students intend to use our BME program as a vehicle to enhance their preparationfor future careers as data scientists in the biomedical industry. With this target group in mind,this course has no prerequisite and a paramount goal of this course is to provide students anappreciation of knowing the “why” and not just the “how” in biomedical data analytics.

systems. Forthe most part engineers are typically taught theory and equations in their early undergraduatecourses with little design experience. A design project of some kind is typically required duringtheir senior year. With this in mind, engineering programs are challenged to do two things: trainstudents to be competent engineers and accomplish this in a short period of time with a fixed,and sometimes very limited budget. This lab project aimed to meet two main goals of thecurriculum and help produce well-trained engineers. This paper begins with a discussion of the previous experience the students had using windtunnels prior to the design assignment. Next the paper will discuss the actual assignment ofdesigning and constructing a wind

Examine the suitability of every engineering-based course as a candidate for the "better" mapping of (any of the seven) outcomes. The courses are selected based on the High (H) and Medium (M) content contribution to a particular student outcome, 2. For every one of these courses, we have

Because faculty were mindful that the programs and tools they shared with students couldbecome rapidly out-of-date due to the quick pace of technological change in engineering, facultywanted to give students the tools to learn for themselves. As one faculty said: “I tried to…givethem a good unique learning experience that they can leverage, at least for the next three to fiveyears of their careers.” Ideally, students’ ability to learn independently would createopportunities for them to form their own learning experiences beyond that time frame. We seethe primary difference between the final two conceptions as student motivation for learningversus the tools to learn on their own, even when they had left the classroom.WHAT MAKES “GOOD” ENGINEERING
