work. Looking towards this future, it is important for groups and organizations continuing thisMaker Movement to “identify and share best practices” to best meet the needs of the individualsusing the spaces (Wilczynski et al. 2017). These issues of staffing, funding, and training oftenlead to makerspaces struggling to meet the goals of making these spaces more diverse andbeneficial to its users, thereby not developing the benefits of diverse networks of peoplepassionate about innovating. By focusing on connecting these common spaces across thecountry, groups and organizations can learn from one another to benefit all users who come tothese spaces. 1.3 Approach: We have developed a unique approach to teaching workshops that

Research Assistant in Dr Colleen Josephson’s j-Lab in Smart Sensing. Matthew has mentored students throughout the last four years, serving roles as a tutor and student-instructor, finding that the best way to truly learn a concept is by teaching to others. Matthew is expected to graduate in the summer of 2024 after completing his senior thesis in the development of a solar-powered sensor utilizing Visible Light Communication (VLC).Mr. Khanh Tran, University of California, Santa Cruz Khanh Tran is a 3rd year Electrical Engineering undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

chair.Rachel’s positionality: I earned tenure at OSU two years ago (in 2022). I serve in twoadministrative roles as the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies and Research Infrastructure inthe Department of Engineering Education and Assistant Vice President for Talent and TeamDevelopment in the Office of Knowledge Enterprise (which is part of the university’s researcharm). I started my faculty career as a practice (i.e., teaching focused) assistant professor at OSUin 2013, but then was hired as a founding tenure-track assistant professor after my departmentwas created. Being a founding faculty member in the department was challenging, and I want toshare what I learned along the way to support junior faculty and those looking to establish newdepartments

In this study, it will be used to explore key stakeholders’ perspectives ontheir academic experience; specifically, first-year students from Title I schools perspectives onengineering. The methodology is centered around a Q-sorting process. The Q-sorting processconsists of participants sorting and ranking a pre-defined set of statements about a certain topicor subject based on how much they agree with those statements to a given prompt. The pre-defined set of statements is called a Q set, and they are designed in a way to make participantsreflect on their experiences. After

participant’s design outcomes [10][11]. Further still, many papersaddress different ideation methods and their efficacy [12] [13]. However, all previouslyreferenced papers follow participants who all have similar engineering and problem-solvingexperience. This paper not only addresses the different ideation methods but also compares theoutcomes between student and practicing engineers. By understanding the importance of learningdifferent ideation methods and detailing how to use them effectively, this paper describes how tooptimize problem-solving to best demonstrate the competencies that employers are seeking. This paper and associated research is for a Senior Honors Project within the engineeringdiscipline. The inspiration behind this project

, University of Michigan Robin Fowler is a Technical Communication lecturer and a Engineering Education researcher at the University of Michigan. Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in

She also studies how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belonging and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a 2016 National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning to understand engineering students’ identity development. She has won several awards for her research including the 2021 Journal of Civil Engineering Education Best Technical Paper, the 2021 Chemical
