Fun games are also used to introduce conceptssuch as analogies and illustrations to convey complex topics.The effectiveness of our approach is confirmed by assessing the students’ assignment grades preand post course which show significant improvement. Similarly, based on the student courseratings data students rated highly the relevance and usefulness of this course. We believe thatwith the skills they develop in this class, students will start their engineering careers well-prepared to progress upward professionally.1.

The retention rate of thisscholarship program is higher than that of the engineering majors at the host university.Additionally, the project successfully recruited several underrepresented minorities and women inengineering related fields to meet the goal. The scholarship program activities and adjustmentattribute the success of the REU as well as the faculty support structure. During the first summer, a variety of activities were planned to enhance the sense of learningcommunity and establish mentorships.

. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Broadening participation in engineering and STEM workforce development through unconventional community partnershipsAbstractWhile enrolled in a university, many students desire a way to secure employment in the indus-try of their major. How does the student actively secure their potential job? The typical answerwould be by procuring an internship. Traditionally, internships can be secured by students apply-ing for formal internship programs, or even by arranging an internship through the career centerat their respective universities. However, there are internships that are obtained by non-traditionalmeans. There are times when opportunities arise in the most unlikely circumstances

Prototypingcircuits with physical components provided mastery experiences that built a sense of personalself-efficacy and identity as an engineer, launching many engineering careers. We advocate forproviding these mastery experiences to non-electrical engineering majors to develop technicalliteracy. To this end, we developed an electronics course aimed at a broad, interdisciplinaryaudience which guided students through a series of projects teaching the fundamentals ofsoldering, circuits, and microcontrollers, then a guided, open-ended circuit design project. Wemeasured self-efficacy and sense of identity before and after participating in the design project.We found a 13% increase in self-efficacy

Due to this skills gap, recently recruited engineers lack what themarket dictates and may need more training to gain necessary competencies, costing companiesboth time and money.The primary purpose of this study is to compare the skills ECE graduates should have upongraduation from the perspective of industry and ECE academic department heads. In this context,this paper presents the outcomes of two surveys, one distributed to ECE professional engineersand the other to ECE department heads.

Through this process of hands-on experimentation, the students can gain holisticperspective that will allow them to develop a more profound understanding of the scope of theirwork and elements involved. Lastly, this encourages skill development that introduces complexdevices that have practical applications which can then lead to a career path that aligns with theirinterests or goals.
