It is through these efforts that theauthors hope to further the discourse among engineering educators on how to improve access andthe success of female engineering students especially within the first two years of the collegeexperience.Strategic Approach I: Female-led Student ClubsBackgroundOver 30 years ago, world

Future work will be completed to assess theeffectiveness of these activities in enabling proper modeling techniques by students. The long-term goals of these efforts are to improve practical and ethical simulation for engineeringstudents and to further integrate these themes throughout the course.IntroductionThe

Traditionally,computer scientists were in charge of this labor, but nowadays, analytics has become so popularthat engineers and people from different disciplines are also participating in this practice [3].Thus, we need to prepare engineering students for this new demand. While most research in thisfield has focused on how to apply analytics strategies to address problems in different areas [4]–[6], the students’ learning and inquiry process behind the practice of data analytics is still nottotally understood

The goal of this work is to ultimately understand how instructors can use reflections to better facilitate, encourage, and foster creativity.II. Background A.

Students participate in project teams to do hands-on work, to learn importantskills, and to find community and belonging with their peers. However, as in any team project, ifthe team dynamics are not positive, a student’s experience may be more detrimental thanbeneficial [1], [2]. Student project team situations may be at even higher risk for poor teamdynamics since they are often student-run and student-led; thus, they may lack the scaffolding ofa team project that generally exists in the classroom.

Engineering ethics has been increasingly emphasized inengineering curricula.
