\program was designed to integrate algebra and engineering activities in Spanish for a group of middleschool students. The intervention curriculum was assembled, professional development was providedto the support team in Honduras, and it was deployed as a pilot program. A research case studypresented in this paper explores the following questions:a) What elements of a hybrid program are most valued by students and teachers, b) To what extent dostudents report changes in their perceptions of mathematics and engineering and c) What is the impactof instructors and family involvement in this community-based pre-engineering program? IntroductionThe Honduras project was designed to provide early motivating

predictive maintenance using infrared thermography”. The objective of these efforts isthe development and dissemination of practical technical resources that benefit the largest number ofSMEs and hence have the most significant impact. Summary and ConclusionsThis paper introduces the recently established UNTIAC as part the national DOE IAC program andfocuses on describing its experiential education framework to train next-generation energy-conscious engineers. The training process is designed for participating graduate and undergraduateengineering students, follows steps from recruitment to graduation through examination andcertification, and includes main activities of orientation and safety training

aresponse to the growing complexity of software development. The traditional project managementapproach, where requirements and design for the total system are created prior to implementation,was not reliably delivering high-quality results. Nowadays, agile practices are incorporated intoseveral project methodologies widely adopted by professional organizations developing technologyproducts. In this paper, we explore the perception of agile’s effectiveness among a diverse group ofprofessionals with experience using these methodologies.To gauge attitudes toward agile, professionals in software development, project and productmanagement, and leadership roles were interviewed. Interviewees were asked to define the agileapproach to project management

think about why a new technology or idea is important. Why was a particular technologydeveloped? Why was it important for the developer or designer? Why was it important to theircommunity? Understanding motivates can help students think about later impacts and who may ormay have been left out of the design process.The Step-in, Step-out, Step-back GTR can be used to help students understand diverse perspectivesand learn from them. The modern workplace is made of teams. Graduates need to be able to engagein appropriate interactions with those that they may not agree with or fully understand. Solutions totechnological, health or social concerns need to be developed from teams with diverse perspectives,or suboptimal outcomes can occur. We can help

classroomactivities and participation. As such, three components of climate enhancement have been reportedin the literature: 1) managing learning activities, 2) encourage participation, and 3) supportingstudent learning [11]. Research indicates that this concept of instruction is more effective,continuous, and sustainable than the traditional learning management concept [2], [11], [15].To this end, a model termed ECNQ (e.g., acronym for Engage, Communicate, Names, Questions)was developed and implemented by Marquez and Garcia in 2019 (Figure 1) to disrupt traditionalnormalized, ineffective teaching practices in engineering education [14]. The model is based onfour communication strategies incorporated to create a healthy learning environment
