Consequently, this contributes to the continuousimprovement of educational resources within engineering programs, fostering a more robust andmodern teaching environment, and providing engineering students with cutting-edge resources.Through the integration of capstone projects centered on equipment improvements, and guidedby faculty teaching respective courses, students engage in a comprehensive learning experiencethat goes beyond theoretical understanding.

This protocol will play a key role in the larger NSF studydedicated to exploring the role of language in introductory engineering courses.Literature ReviewIn the social and behavioral sciences, direct observations are considered to be the base or root ofall research methods [1], [2]. Their main benefit of observations as a qualitative data collectionmethod is that they allow “for the researcher to see and record firsthand the activities in whichresearch participants are engaged in the context(s) in which these activities happen” [3, p. 160].Moreover, observations allow researchers to collect data about phenomena that the participantsmight not be aware of themselves and therefore

Preliminary results show that,for the fundamental topic of engineering design, there is a statistically significant differencebetween the rankings of the two cohorts.IntroductionSince the fall semester of 2016, all first-year students at the J. B. Speed School of Engineering atthe University of Louisville are required to take a two-course sequence focused on introduction,practice, and application of fundamental engineering skills. The first course in the sequence(ENGR 110) primarily focuses on introduction and practice. The second course in the sequence(ENGR 111) takes place in a 15,000 ft2 makerspace, is exclusively based in

Their work indicated there wererelationships between the studied constructs – specifically, that reported feelings of stress,anxiety, and depression statistically decreased with increasing reports of inclusion [14].For this research we replicated the work of Jensen and Cross by deploying the same instrumentthey used in our project-based context. Using this instrument, we collected quantitative dataon: • Mental health: self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression • Professional identity: engineering identity and engineering career • Inclusion: department caring

One of the limitations of this study is that it only examined job requirement data fromrepresentative metropolitan cities in each region instead of analyzing the job information for thewhole region. Additionally, further analysis of job requirements in different industries couldoffer in-depth insights into the alignment of data science in education and job requirements.Future studies may reveal whether jobs requiring specific domain expertise require students topursue advanced studies or degrees to meet these specific requirements effectively.6.
