. Second,engineering researchers can narrowly isolate experimental variables and follow uniform andwidely-accepted laboratory testing standards. The results from engineering research are well-defined and replicable, and proposed models can be validated. Unlike engineering research,EER typically includes a broad range of uncontrollable confounding variables and a lack ofspecificity and guidance in the selection of appropriate theoretical frameworks and analyticalmethods [5,6].Since engineering faculty are often the initiators of EER studies, it is logical that faculty whoalready teach engineering courses and conduct engineering research may be inclined to pursueEER opportunities. Their motivation may be to either complement their ongoing

The specific implementation forms include: offering dedicated STEM courses, club-based teaching, focusing on science and technology competitions, project-based courses, open laboratory space-oriented, and diversified comprehensive courses[22]. From the gradually “captivating” development of theory and practice, we cannot help but raise the following question: under the unique institutional context in China, what exactly are the core connotations and the primary form represented by STEM education? What factors make it up? What is the relationship between these factors? Answering these questions has important implications for the in-depth promotion of STEM education in China and

However,what is notably missing from NLP work to date is a robust automated framework for accuratelyanalyzing text-based educational survey data. To address this gap, this case study uses NLPmodels to generate codes for thematic analysis of student needs for teaching assistant (TA)support and then compares code assignments for NLP vs. those assigned by an expert researcher.Student responses to short answer questions regarding preferences for TA support were collectedfrom an instructional support survey conducted in a broad range of electrical

Following this logic, we sought to identify high-level, relatively universalcomponents to faculty startup packages that may critically influence a faculty member’srecruitment and pathway to success (e.g., salary, laboratory space/equipment as warranted byresearch field, graduate student and/or post-doctoral researcher support, and teaching load).Additionally, the University offers pre-tenure leave, as guaranteed in the faculty handbook, andoffered COVID-19 related tenure clock extensions; thus, we also wanted to assess the equity inuse of these guaranteed supports.

entrepreneurial opportunities in renewable energy systems.Introduction While many engineering educators have heard of service learning or extracurricularuniversity activities designed to engage students with renewable energy technologies [1,2] oreven clinic-based courses and project-based learning experiences involving photovoltaic (PV)projects [3-7] it remains a more difficult and challenging task to bring these experiences into thecore curriculum of an ECE program. This paper details one somewhat successful attempt.Throughout six weekly laboratories (at the latter half of the semester), teams comprising threestudents each analyzed and evaluated the potential for PV to power an electrical appliancetypically found in a residential setting.

the least important [20]. These faculty then may teach theirengineering students to do the same [9], [20]. Further, engineering students are often exposed toclosed-ended problems that are decontextualized, extending the gap between social and technicalaspects of engineering. The result is that engineers may be unprepared to understand the largercontexts and implications of their work [17], [21]. Thus, social aspects of engineering are bothoverlooked and undervalued in engineering education.Yet, engineering inherently has social outcomes. Engineering artifacts are innately sociotechnicalas some individuals benefit, some are overlooked, and some have power to negotiate change[20].

Many students report having felt disenfranchised with their mathcourses since middle school. And, while community colleges have done much to address thesystemic barrier of developmental, non-college credit math courses, academic preparation remainsan issue. Community college math faculty teaching the calculus sequence often point to students’lack of understanding and mastery of algebra basics as a significant barrier to their progression
