This paper presents a study on the feasibilityand accessibility of this program and its effectiveness in engaging students and exposing themto key robotics concepts while helping them make suitable career decisions. The pre- and post-program surveys indicated that the students’ interest in a STEM field increased as a result of thiscamp, helped them understand that robotics is much more than just programming, and taughtthem mechanical design, practical electronics, and microcontroller programming in a flipped andexperiential learning format. Moreover, survey results also indicated an attitudinal shift in theirdecision making based on the knowledge, skills, and capabilities that they acquired in

Invention Bootcamp at Portland State University. Invention Bootcamp is a four-week summer camp designed to expose high school students to the invention process and thereby stimulate their interest in attending college to prepare for a career in STEM and entrepreneurship. The camp serves 25 students that are recruited with help from Oregon MESA, and actively seeks participants from populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Eight undergraduate engineering and computer science students are near-peer mentors and technical problem-solvers for the camp participants. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com

outcomesAbstract:Capstone experiences in engineering education cumulate students learning over their academic careers,showcase their ability to engineer solutions, and serve as a crowning element in their transition to industry.To remain relevant to industry needs, capstone experiences periodically are revisited for content, delivery,and context. These decisions to re-design and update both the assessment and overall experience aresignificant and should engage both internal and external stakeholders. In multi-disciplinary programs, thereare more diverse stakeholder opinions that will often have competing interests and perspectives. Inarchitectural engineering, many capstones are inherently multi-disciplinary with the engineering of multiplebuilding systems

student’s financial burden.Introduction Earning a professional engineering (PE) license is an important step many engineers taketo open career doors, protect the public, and provide credibility for their engineering skillsets. Inthe field of civil and environmental engineering (CEE) receiving professional licensure isespecially important as it often deals directly with the built environment and the public [1]. Oneof the first steps towards professional engineering licensure is passing the National Council ofExaminers for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.After passing the FE exam, applicants must graduate from an ABET-accredited engineeringprogram, gain work experience, and pass the Principles and

High school CTE participation yields additional benefits,such as students reporting higher median annual earnings after graduation than students who didnot focus on CTE [4]. In 2019-20, 7.6 million secondary students and 3.5 million postsecondarystudents participated in CTE [5], showing the dominance of secondary school CTE education inthe pipeline to middle-skills, technical, and high-needs industry fields.

important psychological dimensionof STEM student success.A sense of self-efficacy develops from a person’s evaluation of their past performance (i.e.,efficacy expectations) and their belief in their ability to shape future performance in a desireddirection (i.e., outcome expectations) [4]. Self-efficacy beliefs impact students’ motivation [5]and goal setting, including STEM career goals [6]. Self-efficacy has also been found topositively relate to academic performance such that higher self-efficacy leads to both the settingof higher goals and greater task-related effort, which together improve academic performance[7]. An accurate, rather than over- or under-confident sense of self-efficacy, is key forperformance within a domain (see: [8]). It is

through smartdevices, users are increasingly exposed to cyber-crimes. Due to the limited training oncybersecurity and cyber-safe practices, young adults are especially an easy target for thesecybercrimes. It is also well-known that there is a need to enhance organizations’ cybersecuritycapabilities while spreading cybersecurity awareness among the masses. To the former cause,degree programs have been established throughout the US to train the workforce; however, theyhave proved insufficient. Therefore, we propose developing and integrating plug-and-playmodules for CS/CSE undergraduate courses at various levels to develop a security mindset amongthese students and inculcate interest in a cybersecurity career.

BothASPIRE interventions foster academic communities and support networks to meet these needs.To transition into a STEM career post-graduation, students must capitalize on their contentknowledge and a suite of non-technical interpersonal and cognitive skills that often are notintentionally nurtured in their undergraduate programs (Paul and Cowe Falls 2015). Tenopir andKing (2003) showed that engineers spend 60% of their time communicating with other people,yet most engineering programs include just one lower-division communication course, generallytaken at the freshman level.

The implementation ofsocial media as an education and communication tool in informal learning environments should bethoroughly explored to increase student engagement and learning. The percentage of students pursuing STEM degrees in college is on the rise, even though itremains low in many STEM disciplines [8]. Students recognize the importance of STEM careers, but amajor challenge for entering college students to complete their academic programs is to maintain focusand motivation on long-term goals [9].

One study found that among first-yearcollege students interested in engineering, self-reported engagement in various STEM-relatedexperiences were predictive of their engineering identities [13]. However, young women’sengagement with tinkering and computer programming was associated with lower levels ofidentification with engineering. Overall, research reveals that understanding the factors thatcontribute to young women’s engineering identities is critical, as those with strong identities aremore likely to persist in engineering [14], [15].Similar to engineering identity, intentions to pursue an engineering major are highly predictiveof STEM college persistence and interest in a STEM career [16

Consequently, fewer women enter college intending to pursue a career inengineering because their school personnel most likely did not encourage them to considerengineering. Among those women who major in engineering, they are less likely than men toidentify themselves as engineers [10]. Myers et al. [10] found in their quantitative study of 701engineering majors at a private institution that 12-20% fewer women, across all academic levels,identified as engineers when compared to the men in their study. The higher chance of menidentifying as engineers is likely an outcome of the self-perpetuating societal belief thatengineers are typically White
