the KEEN framework [1] asinstructional methods and curriculum interventions promoting students' curiosity, ability to makeconnections, and the need to create value. These 3Cs (curiosity, connections, creating value) arestated as the attributes of an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM). Efforts at our university includesystematic integration of 18 e-learning modules developed in-house by content experts [2], co-curricular and extracurricular efforts (pitch competitions, 3day startups, 2-week immersivedesign experiences, etc), and stand-alone efforts by faculty in their courses [3].This paper presents the inclusion of EML modules in a Computer Engineering course at thejunior/senior-level. Two new modules were developed and integrated, one
one and successive years. First, although we have a small cohort of students,their STEM fields and prior data science and programming experience is diverse. This increasesthe complexity of creating MDaS workshops and selecting content that is applicable to allstudents. Second, although we have completed six out of approximately twelve activities in yearone, the development of an interactive learning community that reaches beyond the MDaSactivities is not yet well established. Third, the development of an effective mentoring systemthat includes both campus and professional community members has been difficult to develop.The next step planned for addressing the first and second challenges is the integration of morecollaborative work on problem

Distinguish the capabilities and best applications for FDM printing.Details of scaffold curriculum developmentMoving forward, in the Fall of 2018, the course received a major revamp to address the need forstudents to create better drawing packages and also an industry need from the department’sIndustrial Advisory board to incorporate more GD&T and quality control. The development ofthe course transitioned into a scaffold approach, where students would learn about all coreconcepts at once, learning how they are related to one another. As the semester progressed,concepts would get
about problem creation [16]. Intrying to develop problems that are “authentic,” faculty may feel that a lack of direct fieldexperience can limit their ability to develop appropriate problems [11]. Additionally, the “fine-tuning” of problems requires iteration to align with learning outcomes, adding time to theproblem creation process [17].In general, systematic approaches to crafting problems for engineering PBL environmentsappears to be understudied. Among PBL resources highlighted by Kolmos and de Graaff [18] theAalborg PBL portal provides an evidence-based seven-step process for “problem crafting”. Yet,the process, as presented, is not about the type of problem nor the integration of domain contentbut more about the logistical control of

solutions. It is critical that engineers understand the broader societal impacts of their proposedsolutions and evaluate the tradeoffs between the value of technical work and the public good.However, many instructors find it difficult to effectively introduce sociotechnical concepts intofoundational engineering science courses [4]. Engineering education should seek to teach beyondtechnical practicalities and offer the valuable contexts of engineering in society. Core introductory courses in an engineering curriculum, including circuits,thermodynamics, and physics, address a wide range of technical topics that establish animportant foundation for more advanced courses. Besides providing preparation for futureclasses, these courses must

sharing our “tricks of the trade,” wehope to empower developing researchers to explore the impacts of informal learning in STEM.IntroductionIn response to numerous calls for improved STEM preparation at all levels in the United States(e.g., [1]–[3]), there has been a renewed focus on STEM education, particularly at the primaryand secondary education levels. This includes in-school opportunities, such as the introduction ofthe Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [4], which seek to integrate engineering andtechnology into science curricula at all levels, along with a range of informal STEM experiences[5]. With this interest has come an increased research focus in the same area. For example, in aliterature review centered on pre-college

The 2002-2003 CEPC criteria stated “Theprogram must demonstrate that graduates have…an understanding of professional practice issuessuch as…the importance of professional licensure” [5] . Since the publication of the BOK1,CEPC requirements have changed twice.Beginning with the 2008-2009 accreditation cycle the CEPC wording changed. It was modifiedto state “The curriculum must demonstrate that graduates can…explain the importance ofprofessional licensure” [6]. During the 2016-2017 accreditation cycle, the CEPC criteria debuteda new requirement that “The curriculum must prepare graduates to…analyze issues inprofessional ethics,” however the professional licensure

The findings ofthis study will not only advance our understanding of pedagogical strategies for fostering thedevelopment of this 21st century skill, but also give us meaningful ways to measure theeffectiveness of our efforts.OverviewThe design process is an integral part of undergraduate engineering education. This is due to theincreased demand for an engineering workforce that has strong analytical skills that can solvedata-driven problems. The National Academy of Engineering has outlined fourteen grandchallenges in engineering that require interdisciplinary expertise and complex solutions

As a science/engineering major student, learning the semiconductor device course isessential to understand the fundamentals of semiconductor devices and the semiconductortechnology as well as for the future development of the semiconductor field.Semiconductor device course is one of a professional courses for the electrical and computerengineering curriculum. This course introduces basic concepts and principles, operation of basicsemiconductor devices, and device characterization. It provides the foundation required to pursuea career in an electrical
great responsibility. Itcan be argued that there is no other profession that has a greater responsibility to society thanengineering. Contrary to other professions, the engineering profession touches everyone in theUS daily. From the bridges we drive over to the houses we live in; engineering is an integral partof a person’s life. People are confident in the engineering profession and believe it will do theright thing for society. People expect their daily lives will not be wrought with concern for theirsafety due to an engineering failure. It is therefore incumbent on the engineering profession toensure that the engineers produced by our institutions have character that embraces proper ethics,which seeks to protect society from unethical
exposure to standards is essentialbefore students start upper-level undergraduate classes. In addition, this approach ensures thatthe standards are integrated and applied to significant engineering design projects.5ABET’s accreditation policy 5(d) for 2022-2023 requires that a college’s curriculumincorporates knowledge of standards in engineering design so that (d) a culminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work.Integrating an engineering standards module into the undergraduate curriculum meets the ABETrequirement. Other studies have also pointed out that exposure to

Being a combination of the CIEG 301 Structural Analysis andCIEG 302 Structural Design, that were already taught in the Civil Engineering (CE)undergraduate degree program within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering,the main objective of the course was to teach students the basic tools they need to analyze anddesign structural members. The following year (Fall 2020), seeing the success of this course andin an effort to integrate the CE with the CEM program in the overlapping topics, it was decidedto expand this approach to CE undergraduate program; transforming CIEG 301 from

About 90% of the S-STEM scholars reported that the program helped themto increase their overall confidence.This paper has outlined the details of the multifaceted approach that our STEM program adoptedto support scholars in majors where they are traditionally underrepresented. The undeniablesuccess of this approach, based on retention and graduation as enumerated in the results sectionabove, points to an integrative model that can be adapted and applied to STEM programs in othersimilar institutions. The student surveys provide important insight as to which aspects of the STEMprogram were particularly crucial to
