UniversityAbstractEngineering courses, particularly undergraduate engineering courses, include practical learningthrough laboratory experiments. Laboratory experiments help students understand theoreticalconcepts. They also teach them practical skills and soft skills.This paper presents the perception of students about laboratory experiments in various coursesrelated to electrical and computer engineering technology. The student perceptions were obtainedat the end of the semester via anonymous evaluations taken by the students for the laboratorycourses (courses with both theory and laboratory components).These courses were taught by thelead author over a period of six years at two different institutions. This paper presents statisticsbased on the students’ comments
.120 PBL has proven to be a very effec ve teaching strategy in mul disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields too121 [13, 20]. Wood [13] reports on crea on of an interdisciplinary PBL engineering technology course for122 freshman and part of sophomore years. Arena et al. [20] report on challenges associated with123 implemen ng PBL in a mul disciplinary field such as Biomedical Engineering. They men on that PBL124 requires a “broad range of exper se and significant me investment” and if the number of instructors is 3125 limited and there is a large number of students, implemen ng PBL is going to be even more challenging.126

. When asked “For what purposes do you typically employ ChatGPT most often?”,students expressed a keen interest in using ChatGPT for concept development and writing tasksrather than complex calculations. This suggests a recognition of the tool’s potential usefulness inareas beyond problem-solving, highlighting a future role for ChatGPT in supporting students inwritten aspects of their professional endeavors after completing their engineering studies as shownin Figure 4. Here are the specific remarks provided by students to bolster this concept: Figure 3: Assessment of students' perceptions toward AI-powered technology.“It is not very good at solving most mathematical equations I have seen in my classes, but it is alot better at coming up

careers but will also slow technological advancements. To improve enrollment ingraduate degree programs, it is important to understand what factors affect students’ interest inengineering graduate school and research, including previous research experiences. This paperaims to examine undergraduate students’ socialization into research to further understand thesefactors and promote enrollment in graduate school and research careers. As researchers aim to encourage more participation in engineering graduate schools andthe development of skilled engineers, it is important to showcase our current understanding of theclimate and experiences of engineering graduate school.

weeks. Background: On day one of my Engineering 101 class, I introduce myself as the CEO of afictitious company, Dangerous Toys LLC. The company mission is to “develop toys thatencourage Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in children.” The company visionis to “enable children of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities to engage in STEM ininnovative and fun ways.” Each class is assigned a toy they must build, which meets specificcriteria. These toys are fairly simple, like mouse trap cars, rock skippers, trebuchets, pressurerockets, or hot air balloons. The differences between these projects, and something typical HighSchool students may do, are the specific criteria students must meet, and the engineeringprocesses they
ConclusionThis paper has discussed the objectives and outcomes we have achieved with a grant designed tosupport the retention and graduation of high-achieving, low-income STEM students with majorsin and related to engineering and computer science. The EAB Navigate platform was a pivotaltool in our efforts, intended to integrate student data for targeted support and interventions.Despite challenges, particularly with early detection and intervention for at-risk students, theproject has demonstrated the constructive role of technology when combined with thementorship from faculty and support staff.

firmly aligned engineering with industry, to theGrinter report of 1955 [5] which placed science as the fulcrum on which engineering wasbalanced, to more recent reports like the Engineer of 2020 [6] that paints a more nuanced pictureof a systemically connected engineer with a wide range of skills that cross management,technology, and science. Yet social justice has never been prominent in these reports. Howeverin the 21st Century a different picture is emerging. As one author wrote in a recent book [7]: “…students are increasingly recognizing that engineering has become the path to a comfortable life, but perhaps not necessarily the path to a good one. My quiet crisis about engineering education is not one of too few engineers
