allpartnerships. As such, this was in mind even before the collaboration was finalized. Whenspeaking with potential collaborators, the expected outcomes were made clear. As previouslynoted, the sophomore level of the engineering students means that many implemented designsare expected to fail. The only way to mitigate this is to find collaborate partners that fullyunderstand and accept that no successful outcome is guaranteed. In this case, working with aneducational institution with the shared goal of educating students permitted this condition.Regular communication kept the collaboration going.A third challenge is another one faced with all projects – cost. In this instance, starting acollaboration with a public school did not allow for funding by the

Thiscourse, a third-year Engineering Materials Science course taught by the second author, is arequired course for Integrated Engineering and an elective for Mechanical and Industrial andSystems Engineering students. This course was designed to introduce engineering students to thefundamentals of materials science engineering. Modules were accompanied by homework andexam questions to reinforce the relevance of these topics to the overall class. Incorporating socialcontent into engineering courses requires an intentional, sustained, and consistent approach thatbears in mind student’s limited time, conflicting priorities, and level of maturity.Of the four modules, two have

Since most REU studentsworked individually, opportunities for mutual support among research teams were not developed.This project determined to create research experiences that would address these issues. With aPBL approach in mind, engineering faculty members recruited students with a variety of STEMbackgrounds to work collaboratively on a complex problem in transportation engineering. Theresearch was intended to be a collaborative effort among students to reach their common goal.This paper has described the REU as it has developed over two years.During the first year of the project (summer 2018), the eight

/ anthropological researcher focused on equity in engineering, but a combination of showing up in a PhD and taking teaching roles, observing educational culture, and reading what the literature said and didn’t say about these topics, cemented this focus for me. I’d say stay open to those types of surprises in the first year or so of the PhD and you’ll make sure you can align your research areas with passion areas that connect to important topics for the field.9“Don’t compare yourself to colleagues / See your colleagues as allies not enemies.” This one is hard for me, I think I suffer from a tendency to compare myself, for a sense of peace of mind that I am doing ok (but “ok” tends to mean better than others).

It is well established in the literature that metacognitive awareness ispositively correlated to favorable course outcomes [6]-[9]. Further, introducing students tometacognition and related concepts has also been shown to lead to improved learning outcomes[10]-[15]. Importantly, benefits have been observed with minimal interventions consisting ofsimply introducing concepts of metacognition to students [16].With the above in mind, a series of online resources was developed and deployed within a corefirst-year engineering course at the University of British Columbia, a large Canadian research-intensive university.

is why software simulations are so important notonly for the simulator but for engineering in general. Finding concrete evidence of a successfuldesign saves lives and saves money. Pinpointing weak points and fixing the issues before thefabrication of the final product are very important. For the simulator, our group started with apartially completed simulator which is why any changes to the design were so difficult. Thisforced our group to think outside the box and put all our minds and engineering skills to the test. Student #5: Although, not exactly the way full size flight motion simulators are made, ourprototype provides a very good educational base.

Community makerspaces serve as places where people cancongregate, access high-tech tools and materials, share design knowledge, and make unique andpersonally-relevant items [1]. This phenomenon, known as the maker movement, has spread toinstitutions such as universities, libraries, and museums [2], [3]. A number of these institutionshave created makerspaces and launched maker programming with the goal of fostering the skillsand mindsets commonly exhibited by the people participating in the maker movement [4].More recently, K-12

The student grew in their understanding of cybersecurity, digital hardwareengineering, research methods, and more. As such, the project was a success.
