of the survey are presented along with ideas for future improvements to themodule.IntroductionIt is important to some students to be able to see how the material they learn in class is connectedto real-world applications. It can be motivating and rewarding for students to learn skills thatenable them to contribute to solving important problems of our time. There are many previouspapers that have described connections to real-world problems such as courses that are project-based [1], that address socially relevant problems [2], that include projects related to renewableenergy [3] and efficient lighting [4], and courses that have students design a health monitor [5],games [6], [7], musical instruments [8], wireless speakers [9], sensors for a

across the Pacific Northwest region.Researchers at Oregon Tech had been studying the pozzolanic behaviors of Mazama Ash and itspotential as a surface treatment for improving trail firmness and stability [1]. As a locallyavailable material, Mazama Ash has the potential to be more sustainable than alternativecementitious soil stabilizers. Previous work had demonstrated potential for use on trail surfacesand had implemented small test patches in the field [2]. These patches indicated a small potentialfor success as a surface treatment. The National Institute for Transportation and Communities(NITC) provided the support for this project, which aimed to involve students in implementingthe surface on a larger scale, at the Geo Trail in Klamath Falls

Engineering Innovation in Health(EIH) capstone design program at the University of Washington (UW), multidisciplinary studentteams design, construct, and test a technical innovation to address a pressing unmet needproposed by a health care professional [1], [2]. During this process, they investigate a holisticrange of factors that contribute to the project’s development and impact (e.g., stakeholders,existing solutions, market opportunity, intellectual property, regulations, and reimbursement).Much of the learning in capstone design courses occurs outside the classroom environmentthrough hands-on and typically on-site experiences, which are forms of active and student-centered learning [3], [4]. For example, students may shadow or observe

MEstudents. The MET students have mathematical knowledge up to Calculus II, where the MEstudents have mathematical knowledge up to Calculus IV and Differential Equations. This studyalso compares the overall performance between the ME and MET students.Introduction:Engineering economics is a required course in the mechanical engineering program as well asmany other engineering disciplines. It is also a part of the Fundamental of Engineering (FE)Exam. Students are expected to receive about 8 to 10 problems belong to EngineeringEconomics. As a result, a large number of students takes this particular course at our institution.In this survey, the Needy et. al. [1] showed that the majority of Engineering Economics classconsists of above 30 students. In our

part of the larger ACCESS in STEM programat the institution designed to support student pathways in STEM fields. The first offering of thecourse was successful and we present an outline of the course for possible adoption by otherinstitutions.IntroductionStudents with intersection identities are less likely to graduate with STEM degrees due to systembarriers in higher education [1], [2]. To address these barriers, institutions need to take a holisticapproach and recognize the strengths that economically disadvantaged students bring– shifting toan asset-based mindset [3]. Nationally, only 20% of undergraduate engineers and computerscientist degrees are awarded to women, and only 6% are women of color [4]. Black/AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and

authors hope thispilot project will serve as a framework for future collaborative engineering projects between SUand IAJES partners, expanding global educational opportunities for students and faculty.IntroductionThe professional world has become more globalized, increasing the need for students to bepolitically and culturally competent, adaptable, and able to solve problems creatively [1] [2].Global experiences have been shown to significantly improve workplace skills, includingincreased cultural awareness, improved understanding of global perspectives, and ability to workon diverse teams [3, 4]. Despite these benefits, STEM majors continue to be underrepresented inglobal programs [3]. Students face multiple barriers, including potential impacts
