in engineering use gender pronouns? 2) How does prior experience before moving to the U.S. influence their use of gender pronouns?MethodsGender pronouns workshopWe conducted a pilot study to collect exploratory data from international engineering graduatestudents who attended a gender pronouns workshop at a large research university in the Midwestwhere preferred gender pronouns are freely and commonly used. This one-hour workshopincluded a basic introduction to gender identities, an overview of traditional pronouns (e.g., he,she, they) and neopronouns (e.g., ze/hir/hir(s)/hirself), discussions about the importance of usingand sharing gender pronouns, and information about how participants could share their owngender identity.

and tensilestrength.Explanation of Materials ChosenThe material the team chose for 2019’s Rover completion tires is MatterHackers NylonG, whichis a glass-fiber- reinforced -nylon. In the materials testing conducted, NylonG had the highestimpact resistance and an impressive amount of tensile strength. These reasons made it the bestchoice for the pneumonic tire because it can absorb consistent, hard-hitting impacts and still keepits original composure after elastic deformation.The team decided to employ a new material for the spoke segments. This material is currentlymanufactured by 3DXTech Company. The base material for this filament is a semi-aromaticpolyamide copolymer, referred to in conversation as nylon. Due to the higher
contribute to the advancementand better understanding of both Education for Sustainable Development and SustainableDevelopment Goals.Even though the spread of Sulitest in Europe (without France) and the Americas region hasreached 15% and 21% respectively [13], there is an invitation to higher education institutions toincrease the effort and knowledge of students towards sustainability. This research providesmeaningful insights to understanding students’ sustainability knowledge in higher educationinstitutions and strengthen the design of future sustainable global engineering courses.A sustainable future can be feasible if education for sustainable development is disseminatedworldwide.References 1.

They framed the results in terms of university, country,and city pull factors and found that attractiveness of the host university, interest in theenvironment of the country, and affordable cost of living in the city were the most importantfactors to students [9].In the STEM context, Gesing and Glass [12] examined graduating international students in theU.S.’s location choices after graduation with a reverse push/pull framework. They found thatstudents’ economic and cultural backgrounds changed which factors were salient. Students fromwealthier countries were overall more likely to return home after graduating [12].

Participants could be asked to identify a task that allows them to acquire and applycultural knowledge and document examples of how they learned. The program's experientialcomponent could be improved by placing it in the context of learning alongside local students insmaller groups where interference from a large cohort could be mitigated.

the major engineering curricula and there is some anecdotal support to grow more.As the demand for more engineers and more EC courses grows, cloning and scaling well-prepared and relevant EC courses are ways to meet the impending demand.This paper provides guidance for EC teaching priorities, learning activities, and industry-informed projects. Whether an engineering program opts to build a stand-alone course or embedengineering-focused communication content and skills in an existing course, instructors andprogram directors are well positioned to shift EC pedagogy, practice, and assessment towardcontent that matches future work styles, career trajectories, and agile work teams.References[1] V.
