practicing engineers need to be aware of, and competent in, to createsolutions that take into consideration structural conditions, reduce risks and minimize harm tounderserved communities, and enhance human capability [4], [5]. We then analyzed these notesand instructor responses using a linguistic and cultural lens and framework of student successsupported by awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion.Results: Preliminary results show that faculty are already incorporating social impacts intoengineering education through discourse and rhetorical strategies used in lectures and coursediscussion through three fundamental methods: modeling the limitations of their own personalexpertise, positioning humans as more important than technology, and
teaching strategies, inductive teaching and learning, interdisciplinary teamwork, and development of students’ professional skills.Ms. Carrie Steinlicht, South Dakota State University Dr. Carrie Steinlicht is an Senior Lecturer of Operations Management.

Pre-College Engineering Education for Building a STEM Pipeline – Work in ProgressIntroductionEngineering education programs prepare graduates to meet the required workforce needs invarious disciplines and develop the next generation of experts to advance technology for solvingreal-world problems. Emphasis over the last several decades has been to prepare adequatequalified engineers to meet the demand in the workforce. Most of the tech-related industriesfocused on creating a STEM pipeline by raising awareness in K-12 students and supportingmotivation and education efforts for this purpose. Higher education institutions supported thisinitiative by engaging engineering students as mentors and role models for K-12

Their respondents overwhelmingly preferred industry-sponsored projects to ones offered byfaculty. Respondents' top choices were gaining experience with the related technology andgaining industry experience. These answers are expected as most industry-sponsored capstoneprograms promote these two factors when recruiting students and industries.Research QuestionsThis study provides an analysis of how students have valued and experienced non-industrysponsored projects compared to industry sponsored projects, given most

Active learningteaching approaches have been found to improve student learning, raise retention rates, and closethe achievement gap between various student populations in college science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses [4]. Beyond the subject of electrical engineering,active learning pedagogies have been applied extensively in industrial engineering [5-7].For STEM students, in particular, who learn best in courses with hands-on laboratories, aneffective online instructional practice uses a variety of active learning pedagogies as shown inFigure 1.

relationships with engineering can support them in navigating the dynamics ofmarginalization [7]. However, there is a lack of investigation into how engineering learningenvironments can be designed to facilitate students’ (re)negotiation with these relationships.Making, defined by Sheridan et al. [8] as a process to develop an idea and construct it into somephysical or digital form, can be a space for rich transdisciplinary engineering learning andpractice [9] [10]. Making is a form of “heterogeneous engineering” [11] - engineering thatemphasizes not only the technical aspect, but also the social, material, and political dynamics[12]. Making as heterogeneous engineering resists the marginalizing narratives that technology isthe sole important aspect of
