mbiswas@uttyler.edu 1 psundaravadivel@uttyler.edu2, and aadityakhanal@uttyler.edu3,AbstractEngineering professionals are expected to conduct various methods of communication when theyenter the workforce. Video presentations are emerging as a preferred mode of communication formarketing and employment processes. However, such communication is uncommon for project-based learning (PBL) assignments in engineering education. Engineering professionals areexpected to bring some level of entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) skills to solve social orcultural problems with responses rather than solutions. Moreover, the latest industry trend showsthe incorporation of video presentations to showcase and pitch entrepreneurial endeavors.However, such

The many potential benefits of efforts by students andinstructors to apply engineering directed at improving the wellbeing of marginalizedcommunities are evident - communities receive valuable contributions while students gainpractical hands-on experiences and apply theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems.However, as pointed out in [2] [3] [4] without careful facilitation and being mindful of historicalinjustices, patriarchal philosophies, and power dynamics, service learning can unintentionallyperpetuate a dynamic of

The Innovation Mindset and Skillset’s intended learning outcome can bedivided into three categories: (1) developing students’ skillsets, (2) cultivating students’ mindsets,and (3) combining students’ skillsets and mindsets. More information on the framework can befound here [10].3.0. Study Methodology An undergraduate and graduate level course named "Innovation Mind and Skill Sets for Designand Research" was developed based on these learning objectives. Although offered within themechanical engineering department, this course was open to students across all STEM majors. Thecourse’s central focus is on a semester-long collaborative group project to devise an innovativeproduct or enhance an existing

Engineering Technologycurricula specifically needs further attention. This gap highlights the need for enhancingentrepreneurship education in this field, considering the industry's demand for graduates whoare both technically skilled and entrepreneurially minded. This research explores theintegration of entrepreneurship into an Engineering Technology (ET) program, with a focus ona sustainable building course. It employs innovative educational strategies such as micro-moments, bisociation, virtual reality, entrepreneurial tasks, and a project-based approach todevelop real-world problem-solving skills. The effectiveness of this approach was assessedthrough a quantitative and qualitative survey to understand student perceptions. Findings revealstudents
student’s perspective, “Honestly, no, I had no idea what engineering was, I was just like, ‘Okay, math and science school; we got it,’ and then like somehow that just kind of became synonymous with engineer-, with that definition. They’re like, ‘Oh you can be an engineer,’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I guess so?’ And I only really got a feel for what I’d be doing [after I got] up here....I don’t know what it [engineering] is.” (p. 12, [12])This frame of mind is pervasive among students in their first year of a program. However, there is alsoevidence to suggest that students still do not understand the nature of engineering practice upongraduating from an engineering program, especially when their engineering design

To challenge conceptualizations of engineering thatreproduce and maintain inequitable processes and outcomes, educators must interrogate whatcounts as engineering and support such reflection in their students. Educators must teach thatengineering is sociotechnical in nature [7]; authentic engineering problem-solving is contextual[13], [23]; and engineering is part of justice movements [1], [20]. Such teaching requires bothequitable pedagogy – to model equitable practices and create environments in which students canlearn to be equity-minded engineers – as well as equity-centered content – in

studies were based on engineering subjects and that many ofthe studies lacked “mean scores, standard deviations, and number of observations required for ameta-analysis” [19]. This – along with other information missing from a number of the 55 reports– means that these findings may not be representative of the outcome of implementing a flippedclassroom [19]. Additionally, their 55 studies were focused on articles from 2013-2016 [19]. Thus,with online learning being more commonly used and the problems with conducting a meta-analysisof this type, newer research should be conducted on this topic, keeping in mind these literaturereviews recommendations for future tests [19], [23].The other systematic review analyzed 32 articles and found that few

Indeed, he precedes his critique by making some concessions to the work of C.Daniel Batson, originator of the “empathy-altruism hypothesis”—a common foundation forresearch on the development of empathy in engineering students. [13] [14]Such research often illuminates the question that animates both Bloom’s work and the responsesto it. Empathy is traditionally understood primarily as a feeling—but models like Batson’sencompass a range of cognitive as well as affective experiences, from “theory of mind” to“empathic distress.” [13] [14] As a result, contested definitions and distinctions create complexlines of disagreement about which types of other-oriented perceptions or sensations count as“empathy” and which
