achieved with the use of EML-directed modules, which helped inform the approach used here. Mynderse [4] presented resultsfrom student surveys showing growth of EM components following modifications in a Capstonedesign course, which inspired the use of surveys as well as showing the utility of infusing EMLinto a capstone course. Desing [5] suggested best practices for EML incorporation in first-yearengineering, which was used as a basis for planning the approach to including EML in thecapstone sequence.Course SequenceAerospace Engineering 4510-11 is a required two-semester experimental projects capstonecourse sequence with roughly 75-90 fourth-year students in teams of four to six members.

According to the EducationDevelopment Plan for Graduate Students of Professional Degrees (2020-2025) issued by theAcademic Degrees Committee of The State Council and the Ministry of Education, the orientationof professional master's degrees is to cultivate application-oriented specialized talents, and theintegration of industry and universities in the construction of joint training bases is taken as animportant condition for institutions seeking professional master's degree authorization. Accordingto the policy documents, training units shall jointly formulate training plans together withindustries and carry out the construction of joint training bases. 1One of the characteristics of theadmission of full-time engineering masters degree in China is

plan tasks and suggested activities was also assessed as well as reference materials,communications, relationship with mentor and mentees, weekly group meetings, and discussionboard.At this point, mentors were contacted by the team to learn from them how things were going andto give another opportunity for learning between groups. The most common point of discussionwas how to engage members and issues related to attendance. Some advice from facilitators tocombat these issues centered on communication and planning as well as shifting some of theplanning responsibilities to the group. This recommendation was made because when that shifttakes place and mentees are driving the group connection, they participate more fully in themeetings and

major role. Yet IABs are often an “untapped resource” for theiracademic institution. Many different tools and surveys exist to assess and evaluate theeffectiveness of an IAB [1], [13]. These tools serve to address the common weaknesses of IABs;common weaknesses include vague roles and responsibilities of board members [14], meetingorganization concerning how often IABs meet, the dedication of board members [1], and the lackof short-term plans to achieve long-term goals [15].Strategic DoingTo address the issues that are commonly faced by traditional approaches used with IABs, aconsortium of five universities plans to use Strategic Doing (SD) workshops with IAB membersto promote collaborations and accomplish their objectives. The objective is to
from discussions with both presenting librarians as well as personalaccess to the slides. The presentation begins by defining DEI and discussing the importance ofDEI to the UMD campus as well as the expectation that it be included. One of the main pointswas that while the department of engineering was succeeding in attracting a diverse studentbody, it wasn’t necessarily doing well in retaining these students. Like the other modules, thereis also an overview of citation justice. The presentation includes a focus on how this related toCEE’s strategic plan as well as how libraries and librarians can help. This includes individualhelp with workflows and resources that help a researcher to implement citation justice but alsoan overview of the

ABET requires soft (professional) skillssuch as “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership,create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” [criteria 3 (5)] and “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences”[criteria 3 (3)], to be assessed once during the curriculum [5]. However, engineering graduatesfrequently face the challenge of acquiring or perfecting these skills in their first year ofemployment. Consequently, to prepare students to compete in a highly competitive job market,engineering programs must incorporate critical thinking and soft-skills training
fact one scholar even admitted that someone with a “bachelor's degree, makes a lot ofmoney doing things I don’t know what they do, but all I know they have a bachelor's degree”(Ontological Beliefs: uncertainty). Interestingly, one scholar mentioned that a college degreewould “allow employers to trust” them more.Although college is viewed as a necessary but unaffordable cost for these low-income scholars, itappears as if very few of them have a financial plan in place to be able to pay for their education.Responses to the question about how worried they are about affording college and to what extentthey have had conversations about this with their families indicates that they are somewhatworried (Epistemological Belief: worrisome) about college

For our project, evaluating existing data is part of tasks and are animportant consideration in the gap analysis. Summaries of a few of these reports are providedbelow as examples in this introduction section.In 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) developed a document on nuclearworkforce planning for member states [9]. The goal of the publication was to help MemberStates develop an effective workforce plan at both the organizational and national levels. Thiswas to be achieved by providing a structured approach that allows the nations to estimate theirnuclear power program's human resource
there are no standardizedcourse structures, curricula, hardware and software platforms, or course materials.To address these challenges, a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary team conducted severalworkshops starting in 2018 to provide support for curriculum development in MRE and to createa vibrant community of college instructors interested in MRE. Ranging from a half-day to twodays, the workshops provided guidance and perspectives from leaders in MRE education. Basedon participant feedback from these workshops and our goal for greater impact, we planned anddelivered a more intensive three-day, virtual, yet hands-on workshop in the Spring of 2022.The objectives of the workshop were to: 1) prepare current and future MRE educators to
S-L relationships are mutually beneficial, with the ultimate goal being atransformational partnership. Transformational relationships are characterized by closeness,equity, and integrity, and grounded in lenses of collaboration, reciprocity, and diversity [14].Distinctions among S-L relationships depend on factors such as goal integration, resourcesharing, planning, coordination, and communication [14]. The Transformational RelationshipEvaluation Scale (TRES) gives a quantitative rating of a given relationship, based on 9 keyattributes: outcomes, common goals, decision-making, resources, conflict management, identityformation, power, significance, and satisfaction and change for the better [15]. This scale offers aguideline for S-L
accreditation; they offer helpful details on implementation of an assessment plan, from filemanagement to faculty consensus building. Notably, they include their rubrics. Rubrics areguides for scoring student work and ABET recommends their use in assessment [2]. Rubricsdecompose student outcomes into performance indicators (PIs), increase inter-rater reliability, anddefine performance levels. Assessment of outcomes 3–7 in capstone has been described [3], ashas a multidisciplinary capstone project in which all seven SOs are assessed [4]; however, thosepapers do not include the related rubrics. This paper builds on previous efforts by describing andpromoting a pragmatic approach to assessment, stating the rationale for how each outcome isassessed, and

This is definedas "a student's beliefs in his/her ability to organize and execute courses of action required toproduce certain accomplishments, concerning the aspects comprised by academic taskspertinent to higher education" [3]. Academic self-efficacy beliefs can assist the student in planning to use the personal andenvironmental resources necessary to adjust to university. In addition, it can lead the studentto a sharper perception of his or her ability to organize and execute actions necessary to achieveincreasingly adequate levels of academic achievement and adjustment to the universityenvironment, affecting the individual's choices and perseverance [4]. Students entering university, in general, tend to have lower perceived

We rated stakeholder awarenessaccording to the rubric which rates a respondent’s ability to identify stakeholders across the groupcategories and the nature of engagement with the stakeholder.The results show that most of the participants (approx. 90%) scored high identifying more than one groupof stakeholders. However, a lower percentage (35%) of participants talked about collaborative interactionwith the different stakeholders and had trouble describing the process of planning a response to the problem.This study is contributing to laying out the foundation of our overarching project in which we are seekingto develop teaching content that focuses on systems thinking skills by providing a solid understanding ofthe current systems thinking

Multilingual Board GameIntroductionSerious games are a category of games that are often used in education to provide access tocomplex systems. In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

By the time we began collecting data on housing issues inNorthern Alaska, over 20 homes had been built in the region using the method. Stories andidiomatic references to the system emerged early in our research, and most emphasized the valueof this system, including how it might be extended to other settings.

vital courseinformation being relayed during office hours, which sometimes conflict with otherresponsibilities. Burnout among undergraduates was a recurring theme in all focus groups. According to respondents, students are overloaded with work, family, and school, so theymust prioritize their focus day-to-day. They feel like they could always be doing more, and theyreported very little time available for decompression and relaxation. Students who also had towork part-time jobs felt even more stressed and were more likely to take advantage of recordedlectures and office hours when they were working more hours. Planning course schedules forupcoming quarters is anxiety-provoking since the availability of classes changes from quarter
courses in most engineering programs.Similarly, but not as specifically, technical electives allow students to tailor their technicaleducation to specialize in a subdiscipline of their broader major. An advantage of specializing ina subdiscipline is the opportunity for the students to build a depth of knowledge in an area thatstudents taking a more general approach to an engineering discipline may not gain. Additionally,students can take courses that might not be directly related, but that would provide them with aset of skills that they feel will give them an edge in their planned career. This approach mightnot lead to a recognized concentration, but the student could describe their work in electivecourses to potential employers as they seek a
