However, she found an issue with overheating of the sensor that wasunexpected both by her and her mentor. Her mentor then encouraged her to explore this issuefurther. This prompt to explore the unexpected problem provided Evelyn an opportunity to applydivergent thinking in troubleshooting the problem: “I remember when some of these issues started, specifically when the printed circuit board (PCB) started overheating, I immediately turned off the equipment and I had written down all my observations to see what exactly was going on, if there

Another challenge arises from the interdisciplinary nature of nanoengineering, po-tentially causing secondary educators to view it as a new science rather than recognizing it as asynthesis of various scientific and engineering topics [2]. Further, nanoengineering education islimited by the fact that expensive and sophisticated equipment, such as the Atomic Force Micro-scope (AFM) and the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), are needed to visualize materials atthe nanoscale. This limitation may restrict hands-on learning opportunities and necessitate care-ful planning to effectively educate a large number of students

The design review process is used many timesthroughout Project 1, so the goal is for students to become comfortable giving and receivingfeedback. Prior to the first design review activity, it can be helpful to plan activities to get themcomfortable talking to each other; such as ice breakers, solving problems with think-pair-share,or sharing their ideas with the instructor or TAs.Prior to the first design review, students need clear expectations about the review process and itsgoals.

Additionally, previousstudies [8-10] investigated the ways self-efficacy was constructed and developed in STEMgraduate and doctoral students. However, the focus of these studies lies on the shaping of self-efficacy, rather than the doctoral students’ perceptions of their abilities to teach.

However, using this grouping, there was not a large difference between the controland the intervention group. Since the research is exploratory at this stage, another grouping wasexplored to see if who administered the oral exam made a difference.

Next, students implemented the concept of linear economy to assess the fate of themedical device and formulated a plan to make it more sustainable using circular economy [26].In the following week, students were instructed on lean manufacturing practices and where these principlesalign with sustainability. Students learned about working on an assembly line to increase productionefficiency, scrap reduction, and how mass production could be modified when considering overstocking,i.e., push vs pull systems and inventory management. They researched distribution methods such as B2B,B2C and D2C to determine when medical devices implemented which delivery routes. They exploreddisintermediation and how that can save on

These can be brokeninto a few distinct categories: student recruitment, logistics and scheduling, and volunteerengagement.4.1 Student Retention and RecruitmentAll iterations of the camp were externally funded and were therefore free for the students. As theMSOE STEM Center has found with all free programs, this resulted in fewer students attendingthe camp than had signed up. This is disappointing to the organization providing the fundingbecause it means that the money they spent to have the faculty develop the content of the campdid not go as far as it could have.Student interest and understanding of the program was a secondary contributor to
