isnot limited to engineering. 41 documents focus on engineering, making it just under half of theentire corpus. The authors did not limit the documents by type other than the limitation ofscholarly works, so there are journal articles, book chapters, and dissertations included in thecorpus. Additionally, this analysis uses research on students in different stages of theireducational careers, with an eye towards understanding challenges faced by historicallymarginalized people within the STEM community. An initial summary of the corpus reveals thatthe authors analyzed 88 documents with 1,123,499 total words [5]. This analysis also shows thatthe most frequent words present throughout the entire corpus are STEM, students, science,women, and

These views may translate into a focus onSTEM as a set of specialized careers (NSTA, 2020) or a way of solving global and culturallyembedded STEM issues (Flanagan et al., 2022). Along the same lines, what are theimplications of PSTs understanding STEM as ‘interdisciplinary’ (Van den Bogaard et al.,2021) versus ‘transciplinary’ (Bybee, 2013) on their lesson planning and enactment(Capobianco & Radloff, 2022)?

contribute to fewer women persisting inengineering study and a significant wage gap in engineering careers [5], [6]. The lack ofdiversity in engineering and other STEM fields perpetuates societal inequities and limits thefield’s ability to tackle complex global challenges, as more diverse backgrounds and experiencesbring new perspectives to addressing big problems and generating innovative solutions [7].To address this disparity, some have called for a reframing of engineering to shift from a focuson technology to a focus on the important work that engineers do [4]. This reframing–fromengineering as technology-driven to empathy-driven with real potential to impact people’s lives–may attract a broader group of students who otherwise might not

Looking for ways to be cost and energy efficient, with a reducedcarbon footprint, is a common topic that current students are exposed to during their education,and that is becoming increasingly relevant in the AEC industry.Furthermore, the survey showed that students wanted the course to be offered to architects andengineers [answer to question 6], to include field trips and classroom lectures as part of thecourse [answer to question 8], and that the course could make graduates more employable.

A variety of engineering educators in varying disciplines have reportedsuccess in using the balanced learning style approach to course instruction design [2, 4-5, 10-12,17].Despite the proven effectiveness of incorporating learning styles into classroom instruction, theamount of time students spend in the classroom as a part of their study cycle is relatively smallcompared to the time they spend deciphering course content on their own [18]. Even highlyeffective instructors who use a plethora of well-established and validated pedagogical techniquesand provide ample resources to foster success can find they have a subset of students

This paper describeswhat was done in both classes and reflections from both students and instructors.IntroductionService-learning and community-based learning are proven pedagogical approaches used across multipledisciplines and educational levels to bridge teaching and community engagement (Billig, 2000; Kuh,2008). Over the course of decades, research demonstrates the benefits of service-learning (SL) to studentlearning (Warren, 2012), satisfaction (Drinkard & Tontodonato, 2019), engagement, and retention(Bringle, Hatcher & Muthiah, 2010).

One crucial task is to teach students how to use moderntechnology to evaluate the quality of AM parts because AM has not reached the point of competingwith traditional manufacturing in terms of surface finish and repeatability. Moreover, the printedparts are often treated as black boxes with invisible defects, such as pores and cracks. Such non-transparency significantly challenges the qualification and certification of additively manufacturedparts.

The inclusion of the cellphonemechanism removes the need for a built-in camera, but it also adds an extra but simplecommitment for the students to complete the activity. The tests and worksheets will be used toask students about concepts like microfluidics and reaction kinetics to address theirunderstanding of these subjects. In addition, students will create a calibration curve usingspectrometry, something they may need to do in the future should they choose a career thatinvolves chemical analyses.

-dimensionalapproach to STEM instruction described by the NGSS [4], [9]. Engineering education allowsstudents to authentically apply content related to real-world phenomena so they can understandhow the intertwined nature of science and engineering addresses the community and globalissues they are facing today. Engineering education better prepares students to think critically,make decisions, and pursue STEM careers and educational trajectories. Yet many teachers,particularly in elementary grades, lack sufficient professional development and self-efficacy toinclude engineering in their curricula and embed it in meaningful ways that connect to students’lives and communities. This phenomenon is augmented along gender, geographic, andsocioeconomic lines [10-13
