is not always required to have all of the steps listed out above to introduce an intervention foremployee journeys. For example, if the product/program manager has a clear interventiondesigned to be tested out, then economists can start to design and implement the experimentswithout the idea generation stages. However, as a multi-disciplinary science team, it is often thecase that people rely on each other’s expertise, conduct research studies and productionizescience to improve employee’s talent outcomes as a collective effort.In some cases the product generated by the project itself generates a new cycle of innovation onbehalf of employees. When the product is a completely new feature, there is an opportunity torestart the innovation cycle
students were identified and recruited to participate in research. Approximatelyseven students have been selected to receive research stipend support since the start of theprogram. We also provided undergraduate students with travel grants to present at and/or attendregional, national, and international transportation conferences, symposiums, and workshops.Furthermore, we also trained graduate students to serve as a mentor for undergraduate studentson research topics.Increase the exposure activities in transportation: As part of this effort, the research teamorganized additional activities such as field trips to transportation companies or research centers,hosted speakers and webinars on transportation-related topics, organized and prepared

experienced major technological innovations in the past decade. Theresult is the proliferation of electronics in products, increased miniaturization, high powerrequirements, increased functionality and lower prices. New materials and processes areconstantly being introduced and the demand for innovation continues.To be successful in the competitive global marketplace, U.S. electronics industries must adopt asystems approach to product and process design. A systems approach requires a versatileworkforce with a comprehensive understanding of product design, material selection,manufacturability, cost, environmental impact, safety and reliability. In this new workenvironment, engineers have more diverse responsibilities than ever before in implementing
research, leading to student participation in prestigiousconferences and awards, building critical skills for biomedical engineering. By integratingtheoretical learning with practical applications and professional engagement, we demonstratedthe program’s commitment to student growth, career readiness, and ABET standards. 2.4 Criterion 4: Continuous ImprovementCriterion 4 is a key part of ABET accreditation, focusing on the systematic assessment,evaluation, and improvement of SOs to ensure graduates meet program expectations. Our effortsbegan in Spring 2021, 3.5 years before submitting our report, with the development ofPerformance Indicators (PIs).

argumentation is a promising approachto teaching engineering, the National Research Council (NRC, 2012) contended that studentsshould master “constructing a convincing argument that supports or refutes claims” for solutionsabout the designed world – a recommendation that was adopted by the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS Lead States, 2013, p. 63).Although argumentation can help both students and engineers achieve positive outcomes(Gouran, 1995; Zohar & Nemet, 2002), it’s not always a simple skill for students to master(Wilson-Lopez & Garlick, 2017). Consequently, we argue that there is a need for more researchrelated to best practices for supporting K-12 students in engaging in engineering argumentation.The purpose of this review is to

However,seizing this opportunity has been difficult, and the development of an inclusive culture hascontinued to elude traditional educational research approaches. While quantitative methods canbroadly identify the presence and prominence of marginalized inclusion, they often lack thedepth needed to foster a comprehensive understanding of inclusion. In contrast, qualitative andnarrative-based approaches offer rich accounts of marginalized experiences and perspectives butstruggle to reach a broad faculty audience.

This paper should be a great value toengineering programs interested in understanding the student success strategies implemented atNC State University and their impact.A. IntroductionIn the College of Engineering at NC State University, measures of student success such asretention, matriculation, and graduation rates had remained largely unchanged for decades. Abenchmark study, and review of the literature, on student success in undergraduate engineeringeducation revealed several practices not adopted within the college. From this insight a set ofprocesses/programs aimed at pre-college, first-time fulltime, and transfer students weredeveloped into the
have local impact and can be replicated. Joint collaboration between members is encouraged through the development of thematic areas. The knowledge, information, and applications generated from these thematic areas are shared to support the development and design of “off-the-shelf” solutions. The R&D Initiative has been Page 12.754.6 created to provide a vehicle for performing research and development in a variety of disciplines. The laboratory facilities not only are utilized for teaching, but also are used to enhance interaction between industries and universities to foster innovation and
engineering students. It concludes that the current practices by variousuniversities will help engineering educators to create more practical, scaleable, diversified andsustainable programs in a global context.I.

It is common for engineers to workon multi-national teams designing products, which will be manufactured in one part of the world andsold in another part2. The ever-increasing trend of economic globalization necessitates dynamic andmeaningful collaboration between engineers, designers and executives, transcending political andcultural boundaries3,4.Today’s engineering students graduate in a world that is becoming highly competitive as geographicalbarriers are
