theme, e.g. autonomous robotics [20]. Projects may be structured such that smallmodules combine across the semester to form a larger design, e.g. assembling a portableelectronic device for measuring the height of an object [12]. Such projects can combine multiplelearning objectives and even multiple disciplines, e.g. using an electronic strain gauge to measurebeam deformation [6]. Assignments can mix historical engineering, forensics, andcurrent/emerging problems; each activity can be structured such that the students need to identifythe tool(s) that an engineer (who is not necessarily specialized) would need to solve the problem-at-hand [22]. Certain case studies can illustrate the full design process, e.g. the Wright brothersairplane [21
):A number of users described their strategies for overcoming the common challenges at work. Anexample of a helpful approach was to use noise-canceling headphones at work and listen tobackground music. In response to P4's story about leaving their headphones and how they becameoverwhelmed by forgetting their Airpods, users shared their suggestions and stories about similarexperiences. Most of them mentioned that it had happened to them before in the past and that theyhad backups for their AirPods. In several comments, users expressed the difficulty of workingwithout their Air pods. For instance, P24 said, "I completely agree with you. If I forget my earbuds,I cannot work. I cannot pay attention to anything without something playing in my ear

Education, 2023will survey engineers in industry in the southeastern region of the U. S. to determine the directand indirect benefits of training in engineering science and analysis.MethodA survey has been developed which includes questions related to the value of training inengineering science and analysis for engineering jobs. Engineers from a variety of industries inthe southeastern U.S. will be approached for completing this survey. The survey is focused onthree major areas: 1. Direct use of advanced engineering science and analysis techniques 2. Communicating with engineering analysts, specialists, and/or contractors about ad- vanced engineering science and analysis techniques 3. Making engineering decisions

A Chi square analysis was conducted on the number ofparticipants that either “Strongly Agreed” or “Agreed” compared to “Neutral”, “Disagree” or“Strongly Disagree”. The statistical significance was set at α=.05. The results of these questionsand the P-values are shown in Table 4. The majority of participants felt EDC increased theirdesire to pursue a STEM career and their knowledge of 3D printing at a statistically significantlevel. This result, in addition to the pre-post test results support the project’s goal of increasingthe technical knowledge of the students.
