just and safe space for all and uses writing, speaking, and research to address each of these important aspects of her academic career. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Exploratory Literature Review of Education Theories Guiding Engineering and Physics OutreachAbstractDue to the increasing demand for a diverse, STEM-competent workforce, many universities areparticipating in engineering and physics outreach activities for K-12 students. Despite theproliferation of these outreach programs, the fundamental learning and social theories that guidedevelopment of high-impact outreach experiences can be unclear, hindering their transferability.The purpose of this

[11], Ellis [12],and Bravo et al. [8].In the following table, the statements in Likert format are listed. The students responded ona five-level scale, from completely disagreeing with the statement to completely agreeingwith it. The statements related to the importance of the course for the program andprofessional career are highlighted in light blue; those related to the attitude towards thecourse are in light orange; and those related to details of how the course is designed andtaught are in light green.Table 1. The 29 items of the Likert-type survey are presented.1 I can see how the physics skills that I am currently developing will be useful in an engineering career.2 The ways of thinking being taught to me in physics will remain with

She received her B.S. in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her Ph.D. in Bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Mapping Writing Concepts Across an Undergraduate Physics Curriculum Abstract Technical communication is essential for a career in physics, but communication skills are often not explicitly taught in physics undergraduate curricula. As a starting point for curricular integration, we investigated where and how writing is currently occurring in the core undergraduate physics courses at

as polytechnicinstitutions. Engineering has not, however, been broadly embraced by liberal arts institutions,often being seen as being overly career-focused and not sufficiently broad in its educationalapproach. Liberal arts institutions also tend to be much smaller in size, which can make itchallenging to furnish an engineering program with the specialized facilities and equipment itrequires. Furthermore, liberal arts institutions typically have comparatively larger core curricula,which can make it challenging to design a robust engineering curriculum that is completable infour years.A few small engineering colleges exist (e.g. Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman, and Olin College)whose enrollment ranges from a few hundred to a couple thousand

also served as a research assistant at the Environmental Pollution Research unit, in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. As part of his contribution to science and engineering, Pelumi has taught as a teaching assistant both at Morgan State University and Obafemi Awolowo University. With passion to communicate research findings and gleaned from experts in the field as he advances his career, Olaitan has attended several in-persons and virtual conferences and workshop, and at some of them, made presentation on findings on air pollution, waste water reuse, and heavy metal contamination.Dr. Oludare Adegbola Owolabi P.E., Morgan State University Dr. Oludare Owolabi, a professional engineer in Maryland, joined the Morgan State University
