) described thatengineering design is considered a team process in multiple socio-technological dimensions, andwhich is also reflected in the ABET Student Outcomes. The ABET Student Outcomes includethe abilities to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, createa collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives (3.5)and to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (3.3) (Engineering AccreditationCommission, 2017). Furthermore, social cognitive and constructivist theories highlight theimportance of social activities in design learning (Ertmer & Newby, 2008). Accordingly,engineering design is usually taught in team-based learning environments, and students’ teamingis
provides research opportunities to K-12 STEM teachers who serve economically disadvantaged students.The teachers who work with these populations are often the most unprepared for teaching engineering and thus can most benefit fromthe experience and impact their students. The program objectives consist of the following: 1) Use nanotechnology researchexperiences focused on water sustainability to enhance teacher content knowledge; 2) Improve the quality of secondary Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education through the development of student-centered lessons and activities; 3)Create a cadre of teacher leaders; and 4) Disseminate NEWT RET outcomes broadly by creating a network of teachers that areactively learning about

Through REU at a university, undergraduate participants havean opportunity to integrate into research groups and thereby, increase their awareness andinterest in graduate school in computing, science, technology, engineering, and math (C-STEM)fields. However, NSF funds only support United States (US) citizens and permanent residentstudents from institutions that may not have particular graduate programs.During the summers of 2017 and 2018, a Southwestern public research university in the UnitedStates had an opportunity to host an NSF REU program for national undergraduate students

engineering studentsuntil now.There is a public perception that if an individual is good in math and science, s/he should pursuean engineering career. However, the engineering field, similar to all the other fields, is evolving ata very fast pace. Advanced technologies may ease many past technical challenges, but newchallenges always emerge. Today, more than ever before, engineering disciplines not only needstrong technical minds, but also, strong communicators, entrepreneurs, managers and even“sustainabilists”. These contemporary skill demands in engineering fields may attract people withdifferent personality types than traditional engineering. Are we ready for these new types ofstudents in the classroom?The relationship between first-year students

The course objectives, as with most engineering courses,were selected to map to the program outcomes for Civil Engineering curricula put forth by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology [10]. This mapping is meant to show thatthe course, by having students meet the course objectives, is achieving the goal of meeting theABET program outcomes. The mapping of the course objectives seen in Table 1 is based on theABET program outcomes of the 2011-2012 evaluation cycle. These outcomes have changedsomewhat since the origin of the course in 2011. However, the current outcomes are similarenough to those of 2011-2012 that the mapping should clarify the goal

program in an easily relatable manner to engineering department chairs andcollege deans by providing a high-level view of first-year engineering.IntroductionThe call for an increase in the number of technical-minded graduates will not dissipate anytimesoon in this current world of technological advancement. Engineering colleges are under pressureto not only graduate students but to graduate more well-rounded engineers who can tackle themany challenges we face. To meet the call, colleges are putting more efforts to create robust first-year experiences for engineering students through the development of formal first-yearengineering programs (Bates, 2014; Rabb, Howison, & Skenes, 2015).As first-year engineering gains traction with nearly 60% of

First, theyhouse a variety of tools and technologies that aid students doing the work of an engineer.Second, they provide a place in which students can become entrepreneurs [4].In the past, much of the academic makerspace literature focused on asking questionsrelated to how to outfit a makerspace, how to collect data to determine the flow ofpeople and materials in a makerspace, or how to discover best practices in a makerspace[5-7]. More recently, engineering professors, makerspace managers, and educationalresearchers have begun asking questions related to how to design learning experiencesin makerspaces

Against this context, multiple internationallearning experiences were proposed to create opportunities for students to fosterglobal competencies. Such learning experiences include study-abroad programs,international service learning projects [6], global internships [7], courses with a globalfocus, second language course [8], and many others.To prepare engineering students for globalization, many universities have establishedmultiple
