Research on implementation factors also adds to the fields inunderstanding how and why teachers in various settings and with various backgrounds makeadaptations as they implement curricula [1]. In their discussion of the importance of flexibilityand fit of interventions, Harn, Parisi, and Stoolmiller [12] argue that "one of the best ways tomatch contextual and intervention characteristics to optimize implementation with fidelity overtime may be to adapt evidence-based practices to better match school-level context." Although research explicitly examining factors influencing the implementation ofengineering curricula is scarce, studies on the enactment of engineering curricula

Graduate StudentsAbstractThe first year of graduate school can produce great angst in students undertaking a fundamentalidentity shift from student to researcher [1]. In interdisciplinary programs, acquiring confidencewith an additional disciplinary framework and threshold concepts brings additional challenges[2]. Solutions often focus on mentoring [3], but students entering highly interdisciplinarygraduate programs may need additional support that helps them integrate the unique challengesfaced by students changing or integrating multiple disciplinary backgrounds and identities.

Schools and teachers should beprepared to let the children explore ML to help them understand how the world around themfunctions. It has been shown that children as young as three years old can not only interact withML technologies but also produce ML data sets and models[1].In this paper, we explore factors influencing the growth of teacher confidence in implementingemerging ML technologies within engineering educational settings.

Educators must choose thebest content, methodology, curricular models, and outcome evaluation techniques to integrateethics into the curriculum [1]. Conversations on ethics in engineering are typically guided by theNational Society of Professional Engineers’ (NSPE) Code of Ethics but they are often notrealistic to the workplace where an individual faces contrasting demands.Entrepreneurial mindset (EM) and ethical dilemmas are more commonly associated with otherfields like business, philosophy, and medicine (especially the latter

theindividual layers takes a lot of time, material, and precision. However, the labor and maintenanceinvolved is minimal, making 3D printing a great cost effective option for manufacturing designmockups and other plastic parts [1-2]. 3D printing creates less waste because material is beingadded to manufacture the part instead of removed. In addition to increasing efficiency, manufacturing engineers must consider how toreduce manufacturing cost. Some ways to achieve this is by reducing the amount of materialneeded or by reducing the amount of labor time per part. Using an infill pattern instead ofprinting a solid part addresses both of these methods. The layers cover less area and thereforetakes up less time and material to complete each layer of
