We report baseline engineering identity in this paper.IntroductionThis work hypothesizes that 1) peer-based interventions implemented within the existingcurriculum can help teach underclassman ‘what it means to be an engineer’ and 2) participationin these interventions will stimulate engineering identity formation during the first one and twoyears of the curriculum, which will better retain students. Multiple reports have expressed theconcern that there will be at least a one-million-person deficit between the forecasted demand forSTEM professionals and the number of STEM graduates (Chen, 2013

AeromechanicsII. AAE 20401 is an aerospace structural mechanics lab course for second-year students wherethey had the opportunity to use the Virtual Lab software. When implementing the Virtual Labs,we characterized the content, assessment, and pedagogy of the course under the BackwardCourse Design Model to identify how the Virtual Lab software could be integrated into thecoursework. After a year of getting feedback on the software from the students and investigatingthe pedagogical approaches on how to use it, we introduced a new format on the use of thevirtual lab in Fall 2019. This paper describes the latest version of the lab course with theintegration of the Virtual Lab software. The curriculum design, presented in this paper, is auseful reference for

integrating previous knowledge while the emphasis of PBL is on the acquisition ofnew knowledge [3].Currently universities are utilizing entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) as well. ThroughEML students get to solve a problem in a fashion that creates value, which helps to createengineers to make an impact in the workplace [4, 5]. EML course modulus can be created byincorporating behavioral or complementary skills into student-centered pedagogy. Examples ofsuch skills are demonstrating constant curiosity, exploring a contrarian view of acceptedsolutions, assessing and managing risk, evaluating economic drivers, examining societal andindividual needs, understanding the motivations and perspectives of others, conveyingengineering solutions in economic

Workforce team also provided training in wide bandgap (WBG)semiconductors, an emerging cutting-edge technology. WBG technologies “allow powerelectronic components to be smaller, faster, more reliable, and more efficient than their silicon(Si)-based counterparts” [11]. The benefits of WBG technology cuts across various applicationsincluding industrial motors, electronics, grid integration, utility applications, electric vehicles andplug-in hybrids, military, geothermal, and lighting. The ERC works collaboratively with anorganization that focuses on this technology. WBG has become a component of the ERC’sefforts in research.

The instructors discussed above successfully integrated learning modules on sustainabledevelopment into required technical courses in civil and environmental engineering. Myendeavor to reorient the patent assignment in STS 1500 around the SDGs builds on and extendsthe learning goals discussed in these studies by applying them to a non-technical engineeringcourse in STS specifically devoted to introducing students to social and ethical aspects ofengineering practice.

, it can be easy to focus on the experiences of first-time-in-college (FTIC)students. However, this focus is an idealization - as messaging about engineering from the firstyear is a critical junction for how students make decisions about persisting in an engineeringprogram [see 1]. Not everyone has the opportunity or chooses to begin at a four-year institution.The National Student Clearinghouse [2] reports that, in the previous ten years, 49 percent ofstudents who completed a bachelor’s degree at a four-year university in the 2015-2016 academicyear had also enrolled in a community college (two-year institution) for at least one semester.For those looking to revise their curriculum substantially, thinking about how to bridge transferstudents

futurework.BackgroundRepresenting the curriculum visually helps to communicate the structure, content, and sequenceof the material. Ideally, this process ensures that competencies are sequenced correctly, thatstudents have the freedom to create their own specializations, and that the amount of challenge isspread across the curriculum so that students aren’t overwhelmed in one semester andunder-challenged the next semester. These representations are often based on the curriculumdesigner’s best estimates or based on an existing curriculum. These heuristics do not alwayscorrespond to students’ actual pathways through the curriculum.By plotting students’ temporal pathways through the curriculum, it is possible to see where in thecurriculum students are struggling most, to

To achieve this integration, the approach aims to leverage VRlearning modules to simulate a variety of systems. The VR learning modules offer an immersiveexperience and provide the context for real-life applications.

The aim is to enhance student learning and better preparegraduates for new challenges. Chu’s viewpoint is that a good engineer must not only becomeknowledgeable in certain content areas (components, learned in individual courses), but also beable to apply and integrate that content to solve complex, real-world problems.Motivation for Chu’s work came from an earlier 5-year study of engineering education [2].

Many of these students lack first-hand knowledge of the wonderfully creative and diverse types of work in which engineers areengaged. The idea is to introduce students to a wide variety of practicing engineers who are verypassionate about and fulfilled in their work – giving the students more reasons why they shouldstick it out early on in the engineering major when the time commitment to their studies issignificant and the first year curriculum is less engineering courses and more math, chemistry,physics and general education courses.

In fact, many of the teacherswho bring their students to NU STEM field trips have been coming back each year for severalyears. What distinguishes NU STEM field trips from other science field trip offerings in the areais an integrated experience with engineering.

However, the faculty’sassessment led to an agreement that students may better appreciate technical and managerialairport concepts if they had a better understanding of the airplane itself and the airspace theynavigate that surrounds airports. At the time of this discussion, the professional pilot studentswere not targeted since their curriculum already included extensive coverage of these concepts. Itwas decided that these ideas would be brought up at the next Aviation Industry Advisory Boardmeeting.OpportunityIn summer 2017, an unusual opportunity presented itself in the
