This newassessment lens provides a fertile ground to amplify students’ rewarding experiences, minimizetheir unproductive struggle, and preserve healthy challenges that effectively contribute to thestudents’ learning process. In our work, we apply the CARE methodology in studying apopulation of 42 students enrolled in the introductory ECE course, ENGR 40M: An Intro toMaking: What is EE, offered at our educational institution, Stanford University. This course waschosen for this study as it emphasizes the importance of integrating theoretical and laboratoryexposure to introductory ECE concepts via immersive project-based learning opportunities.Our main contributions begin with the development of the CARE methodology, its application
. In this manner, we strive towork within the realities of schooling in everyday classrooms while also helping to catalyzechange that improves the educational experiences of students and the supports that are availablefor teachers. In this discussion, we reflect on the opportunities of teaching and learningengineering and the accompanying tensions that arise in doing so.Our engineering curricular units are designed to be integrated into science or STEM time in K-8educational settings—both in school and out-of-school settings. Through our testing withteachers, we learned that setting engineering in broad societal issues offered an authentic visionfor engineering in society, but also posed problems for teachers constrained by time.

“interventions that center predominately onequipping, changing, and fixing the student, rather than on doing the more challenging work ofassessing the ways institutions and departments are perpetrating racism and other “isms” inSTEM, which leaves these structures under- or unexplained” (p. 634). For example, summerbridge programs are commonly hosted by predominantly white institutions (PWIs) to “prepare”students for integration into the engineering curriculum, usually focusing on academic and socialimprovement, offering workshops like math tutoring sessions or interview panels with currentengineers [14], [15], [16]. In developing programs that focus on “fixing” the student to fit thecurrent and historical engineering culture, we foster problematic

undergraduate experience. For example, some programs engageadvisory board members directly into their undergraduate curricular experiences. This canbenefit the development of an entrepreneurial mindset in students by sparking their curiosity andhelping them to make connections between their coursework and professional future.In 2009 Genheimer and Shelab, surveyed academic programs and their boards to explore howthey perceived the overall effectiveness of the board in several categories, includingpreparedness for ABET, fundraising, forms of student engagement, promoting researchopportunities, and advising programs on curriculum content to meet industry needs [4]. Basedon their findings, they recommended clear communication of the mission of the

IntroductionEngineering education research (EER) is an interdisciplinary field that addresses the uniquechallenges associated with the teaching and learning of engineering, and the pathways leading toengineers' professional formation and growth [1-3]. EER integrates a wide range of qualitativeand quantitative elements from the physical sciences, social sciences, mathematics, andengineering. The scope of EER was

To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefields of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are growing rapidly, andthere is increasing interest in providing undergraduate students with a foundation in these areas.This paper presents IoT and WSN projects that our undergraduate computer and electricalengineering students have done in their senior capstone course in wildfire

examine curriculum and rigor and to develop further opportunities to help studentsprepare for the transition to college.As mentioned above, these low-income students appear to be hyper-focused on obtaining acollege degree, but not necessarily an engineering degree. The scholars repeatedly talked abouthow a college degree will help them better their lives, but in these conversations, they very rarelytalked about an engineering degree. Their college-identity (or at least their purpose and goalsrelated to this part of their identity) seems to be further developed than their future-engineeridentity upon entering college. The influence on their future-engineer identities has mainly beenfamily members and not formal engineering educational experiences
other majors leaves the two quite farapart in the visualization.A limitation of the disciplinary distance measure is that it is based on the curriculum andpractices of a single institution. It is shaped by the groupings of majors within academic units;campus and department subject-code conventions; and collaboration between departments. Forexample, a technical writing course might be offered by an English/ Communicationsdepartment, showing connections between all technical majors that make use of the class. If atechnical department required their own version of the course under their own subject code, theapparent connection with other majors would disappear. The measure is especially sensitive tocampus and department subject code conventions

The findings of this studymay not only demonstrate how limited and inaccessible these instruments currently are due to alack of widespread attention and development, but also outline what the major areas of concernare when designing these instruments. Inclusion of adapted instruments in the breadth ofengineering education curriculums and research can not only improve the experience ofphysically disabled musicians but also enable engineering students to develop a broaderunderstanding of how engineering can be used to close gaps in equity.Upon reviewing the survey of adaptive instruments, we were able to identify 9 major categoriesof design characteristics that appear to most contribute to an adapted instrument's

Having a sequence of courses that all EE students takeprovides an effective mechanism for getting the word out about innovations to changedepartmental culture to be more student oriented.The PFE course sequence aims to support the development of students’ identities as professionalengineers and to motivate them to persist in their degrees. Originally taken as optional electives,the PFE I–III courses became a required part of the core curriculum for EE majors Broadly, thePFE course sequence teaches ethical engineering principles, identifies areas of careeropportunities for students, and
most impactful time toenergize students about careers in STEM is in K-12 settings. To emphasize and spotlight the importance ofbuildings on humans, along with providing an interactive learning experience for potential future STEMstudents, a five-day summer camp focused on multi-disciplinary building design was held at (insertuniversity name). The camp curriculum included hands-on, design-oriented projects from severaldisciplines: architecture, mechanical, structural, construction, sustainability, acoustics, and lighting. Inaddition, tours of several buildings on campus were conducted along with after-hours relaxation time forcampers. The implementation of activities and the well-designed hands-on projects not only increased thestudents
well aware of these novel technologies, we need to update our curriculum andcourse design. In this paper, I present some laboratories (labs) that the students conducted as apart of a course project in the ubiquitous computing class. This course is an elective forundergraduate Computer and Information Sciences or Information technology students. Thestudents who take this course are either juniors or seniors. Covid-19 has taught us how remoteteaching is useful to ensure proper education during the time of the pandemic. This project aimsto design different lab modules that the students can conduct without purchasing hardware. Idesigned this course at the time of covid pandemic to ensure student learning and success in aneconomical way. I devised
