Both because of more available and accessibledigital fabrication tools and a rise on maker-based pedagogy, such educational approaches areprogressing past just learning experiences that are project-based but more and more one canrealize a functional and desirable product (in addition to the underlying technology). This greateravailability of rapid prototyping and maker spaces can support these types of learningexperiences, allowing student teams more access to holistically imagine, design, and morereadily build their solutions. The more authentically these learning experiences can be curatedand staged by instructors, the more meaningful and useful such courses can

These key elements of instructional design will bediscussed in detail in the subsequent sections.Design and Learning ObjectivesResearch suggests that it is critical to carefully consider the specific objectives and type ofproblem that best fit each topic when using PBL to execute an engineering curriculum. De Graaf& Kolmos [1] suggest considering a series of questions when determining the objectives forwork in PBL, including (but not limited to): where will the problem lead, what goals does itfulfill, and what should students learn? These questions should help the PBL designer identifykey student learning outcomes that should be highlighted in both the implementation andassessment of the project. Once

This studyexamined the performance of AEC students in a BIM course before and after adopting the OERplatform developed and also a combined OER and flipped classroom strategy. Hypothesis testswere performed to compare the averages of students’ project and overall grades in three semestersthat the BIM course was offered without the OER, with the OER, and with combined OER withflipped classroom

However, each manager's recollections were associated with a differentcause (e.g., project cancellation, company merger, market change), resulted in a differentoutcome, and featured varying levels of detail. By choosing three situations from which to createa composite narrative, a complete story that succinctly touches on multiple challenges related toadaptability but is still grounded in the data could be told.Following the same methodology, I developed each composite narrative using two to fourexcerpts from the manager interviews.

These metrics can be calculated using only available data; all one needs todo is transform a plan of study into a list of courses, prerequisites, and corequisites.

Key findings indicate that the absence of a clear governance structure, siloeddecision-making, and communication challenges impacted the early phase of the project. Thestudy emphasizes the importance of inclusive collaboration in conducting equity-focused workand provides insights for other Alliances seeking to promote diversity and equity in STEMfields. Implications for the Alliance include adopting the GEAR approach more widely, forminga working group to address communication

understanding of student experiences across sites ofwork, and to protect students in meaningful ways.IntroductionConducting research that involves students is fraught with ethical and justice concerns: are thestudents being coerced? Are the students worried that they’ll be punished for something theysay? Will students feel pressured to participate? These questions are amplified when the studentsat hand are from marginalized and minoritized groups and when those students are asked tospeak about their experiences within the classroom. Scholars across engineering education havebuilt projects that report out on student experiences, and all of these implicitly or explicitlysuggest that ethnically and racially minoritized (ERM) students experience trauma

The resources that expanded their learning (guestspeakers, community projects, and internships) were mostly brought into the higher educationsetting by their instructors, and these “outside” resources were often linked to their expandingviews of engineering work is in the workplace. Also, some students learned that they could aligntheir engineering education with their life passions that were beyond what they originallythought was engineering. For these students, engineering education was more than a path to anengineering career, it was a strong foundation to potentially many different careers in the future.Findings 2: Newly Hired Engineers Learning Experiences in the Workplace EcosystemBeginning their

Engineering education plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of engineersand scientists (Agrawal & Harrington-Hurd, 2016; Brothy et al., 2008). Given its importance,research studies have sought practical ways to improve engineering education practices acrossmultiple dimensions (Crawley et al., 2007; Litzinger et al., 2011; Pizarro, 2018). Among theseefforts, there has been a long-lasting and ongoing focus on project- and team-based learning inSTEM and engineering education research (Felder & Brent, 2016; Kolar & Sabatini, 1996;Wankat & Oreovicz, 2014). Researchers found that project- and team-based learning practiceslead to favorable learning outcomes and behaviors, as well as effective cognitive and non-cognitive
