This paper will present a briefliterature review on the topic, while more details about the methodology, results, and futuredirections will be presented in a future paper.IntroductionEngineering education often focuses on problem solving within the curriculum, which isexpected to help prepare engineering students for industry; however, at times this is not enough,as early-career engineers might be faced with complex issues that are far less straightforwardthan those encountered during their education. As such, this work-in

One of the factors that influences the lifespan of products iscorrosion. Corrosion and its negative effects are often discussed in education, but processes toprevent or reduce corrosion are rarely integrated into laboratory classes. A good understanding ofcorrosion-prevention techniques is critical for being prepared for careers in the manufacturingindustry and its related fields. Corrosion causes significant reduction in mechanical propertiesand can lead

Data included transcripts of interviews with SIRI participants. Analyses of students’narratives show that race, ethnicity, and gender supported the students' identity formation asengineering and CPS learners.

We believe that games are an avenue to meeting this goal.Next Stop continues to be under development, but our early playtests with K12 and collegestudents have shown that the concept of locally focused games excites students to think abouthow they would solve their communities’ challenges.

When looking that the demographics of community colleges, we find that theyserve a disproportionate number of students who are marginalized [2].
