acrossindividual faculty based on the type of assessment practices they choose to adopt in their courses.In addition to traditional formative and summative assessments, prior literature has identifiedother forms of assessment including standards-based, competency-based, mastery-based, andadaptive [1]. More recently, the practice of ungrading has become more prominent in thehumanities and social sciences and is slowly being adopted by engineering education. In coursesthat utilize ungrading, students are required to develop a portfolio of writing intensive or othertypes of projects in lieu of traditional assignments [2]. Students are expected to submit their workfor review, obtain feedback from the instructor, and implement that feedback over the course

This research project explores how undergraduate mechanicalengineering students develop an understanding of how their coursework and extracurricularactivities give preparation for a career trajectory in the automotive industry. Freshmen enrolledin the undergraduate mechanical engineering degree are required to complete an Introduction toMechanical Engineering course, ME110. The course is designed to be an introduction to themechanical engineering profession and overviews engineering fundamentals, CAD basics,professional development, and other related skills. An initial assignment these freshmencomplete in this class is to imagine their future career and the steps that they will need to take toachieve it by way
College that they could use in interactions with students and parents duringthe summer programs.After the presentation, the participants were divided into groups for a role-play activity. Eachgroup was given a different scenario and given time to discuss it amongst themselves. They wereinstructed to choose actors and be prepared to present the scenario with possible solutions to therest of the group. The scenarios used were:Scenario 1:You are watching groups work on a project. You notice that in one group, there is one studentthat is not participating. She is standing on the edge of the space watching the three boys in hergroup build their design. What do you do?If you choose to talk to her, she tells you that her group is not listening to her
framework We approached the stories using an interpretive lens. Therefore, this work is grounded inpostmodernism as we represented stories beyond traditional norms of dissemination. We added somelayers to complete the narratives without changing the actual stories. Based on the experiences ofmarginalization common to Black students navigating engineering, this project is theoretically framed inCritical Race and Role Strain Theories. Critical Race Theory (CRT) provides a framework forchallenging the ways in which race and racism implicitly and explicitly impact social structures, practices,and discourses; it has also been used to understand the experiences of Black graduate students navigatingengineering environments (Crenshaw, 1991; Ladson
]), engineering students (e.g., [4]), engineering courses (e.g., [5]), and classroomactivities and projects (e.g., [6]). To better understand how well students conceptualize EM, faculty in the Department ofEngineering Education at The Ohio State University created an assignment to investigate howwell students understand EM and what concepts they relate to it. Note, this university uses theKEEN framework to describe EM, but rather than using the word “Entrepreneurial” they haveused “Engineering” in some courses to help students understand that the skills involve more thanjust the business aspects of engineering design [7]. This assignment was given to both a first-yearengineering course and a multidisciplinary engineering capstone course. The

partnership is “a specific form of studentengagement, with very high levels of active student participation.” [16]Not only can such an empathetic approach be used to gain a deeper understanding of studentlearning challenges, it is also a framework that creates actionable outcomes in partnership withstudents (i.e., design, prototype, and test a reimagined experience). For this reason, designthinking was the proposed methodology for instructors to evaluate and improve teaching andlearning in collaboration with students.ObjectiveThe objective of this work was to explore how science and engineering educators can useempathetic design, known in the design space as “design thinking,” to engage students inimproving their learning.

These employer-partnersarticulated knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) sought for entry-level positions in a broadrange of occupations. The COT, with BHEF and NEBHE, mapped these KSAs to current courseofferings and re-bundled competencies as digital foundation credentials. These credentials willbe marketed to low-income and displaced workers.

and the increasing initiatives tomotivate students with engineering majors to focus on software-related topics such as artificialintelligence and blockchain are focusing students' interest away from hardware computing.

However, Data USA reported a decline of 27.9% in the totalcomputer hardware engineering degrees awarded in 2020 [2].With the job market demanding more professionals and the graduation rates decreasing, it isimperative to establish engagement and retention strategies to support hardware engineering-focused education initiatives.
