Here, computer simulation can be integrated to design andvisualize the stochastic and complex system. This paper uses the advantage of simulation todescribe a series classroom activity using SIMIO software, which are deployed in industrialsystems simulation course in the University of Texas at El Paso.

These standardsinclude the expectation that K-12 science teachers in the state of Utah incorporate engineeringinto their science classes.

important part of this process is empathy. Byempathizing with their users, engineers design innovative solutions that focus on their needs,discover new product applications, avoid potential future mistakes, and save money andresources. Although the benefits are clear, research shows that engineering students become lessempathetic over the course of their studies [1]. According to a longitudinal study conducted byErin Cech from Rice University, engineering students rated the importance of matters that showcompassion, such as wanting to improve society, being active in their communities, and helpingthose in need, lower after they completed their studies [1].

The secondcomponent, Engineering Methods, Tools, and Practice II (ENGR 111), is primarily focused onapplication and integration of the skills developed in ENGR 110. There are a variety of skillstaught in ENGR 111, including 3D design, programming, teamwork, and critical thinking.Potentially one of the most unique features of ENGR 111 is that the course is conducted in amakerspace; more specifically, a 15,000 ft2 makerspace called the Engineering Garage (EG).Typically, makerspaces are used to offer training in new skills and/or knowledge [1

STEM fields have a completion rateranging from 21-54% as opposed to business at 63-71% [1]. In addition to academic challenges,notably in math [2], students need motivation and perseverance.
