incorporating them into existing curricula andthrough non-classroom activities.” In other words, not just the curricula should change, but thecontent of each engineering professor’s course should evolve.In its 1995 report on reforming engineering education, the National Research Council proposed“a period of experimentation and self-assessment,” and suggested changes such asmodularizing the curriculum, exploring educational innovations and practices in othercountries, and requiring “the study of science, technology, and society (or equivalent) forundergraduates.” It also recommended re-examining the four-year undergraduate engineeringdegree; in the words of Norman Augustine, former president of the National Academy ofEngineering, “It is time for the

Mapping and Indirect Assessment of Universidad de las Américas Puebla’s Engineering School OutcomesAbstractAs part of assessment efforts at Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP) EngineeringSchool (ES), in 2009-2011 curricular mapping analyses were performed for ES outcomes in eachof the undergraduate engineering programs as well as a series of surveys were designed andimplemented to assess ES outcomes with various stakeholders (faculty, students throughout thecurricula, graduating seniors, alumni, and employers), regarding their perception about theimportance of the thirteen ES outcomes and the progress made by our students in achieving theseoutcomes. Engineering programs’ curricular mapping was carried out with collaboration

Interviews are influenced by ethnographic methods and followed six structured questions designed to fit into a twenty-minute interview format [30]. Questions covered what students like best about the ISBL modules, suggestions for improvement, navigation experience, impact on learning, recommendations for future users, and an “Anything else to add” question. Interview notes were taken and analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques from Grounded Theory to produce a set of themes across student experiences [31].Student

as not alwaysattentive to queries. Such a disparity in experience and support may dissuade female studentsfrom pursuing an engineering profession after graduation, given the crucial opportunityinternships provide for students to learn and practice key skills for their future employment [57]. The findings of this study also suggest that the role of female supervisors in the civilengineering workplace is critical for Asian women to share their concerns about difficulties andaspire to be like them. This study found that female supervisors were particularly helpful fordeveloping career interests. Previous research suggests that in order to be inspired by a rolemodel, one must be able to identify one's future self with that role model [33
an unfamiliartechnology tool (i.e. the BBC micro:bit), both of which were viewed with apprehension by mostparticipants. Based on facilitator experiences, it may be asking too much of educators to learn to code anduse an unfamiliar technology tool while also introducing engineering design, computational thinking, andengaging students in outdoor learning. Best practices for creating and implementing effective professionaldevelopment for educators call for programs of sustained length to have an impact on teacher practice.However, in our experience, long-term engagement with multiple PD training sessions was difficult toschedule, did not guarantee educator buy-in, and was not met with as much enthusiasm as short-term PDexperiences.While the
periodic qualitative assessment would identifyopportunities for improving interactions and promote the sharing of best practices. Also, studentlearning outcomes are becoming more dependent on multiple departments. A morecomprehensive qualitative assessment approach applied to a college, such as that outlined in ourmodel, could provide valuable feedback. Other examples where the model might be appliedinclude distributed research centers, distance education curricula that involve multiple sources,and linked institutions such as community colleges in a state system. In each of these examples,multiple entities share a common educational mission, but are only minimally linkedoperationally. This relationship makes the assessment scheme outlined above a

productionand presentation of our on-line materials. Thus, where we might be capable of designing andimplementing a program to format some of our existing materials so that they would work withour CMS, instead we are not allowed to “tinker” with the system at that level. This isreasonable, considering the dependence upon the CMS of a large portion of the universitycommunity. However, this does not alleviate the frustration experienced in this regard.CMSs and Sharing of Course MaterialsOne of the most exciting uses of the Internet for teachers is the ability to look at the ideas ofother teachers. Reviews of books, syllabi, innovative projects, etc. are freely available to peruse,leading to new ideas. Unfortunately, the move on the part of university

supportive materials(e.g., curriculum guides) designed to challenge misconceptions regarding effective teaching andprovide the skills needed to effectively implement student-centered teaching practices thatreduce passivity and allow learners to become an active participant in the learning process(Project Lead the Way, 2020). The alignment of innovative instruction, STEM communityinvolvement, and professional development cultivates a “STEM ecosystem” in which learnersare exposed to a variety of high-interest and impact learning experiences. These experiences aredesigned to provide academic preparation needed to overcome common barriers to STEMpipeline persistence (Reid & Feldhaus, 2007).

Moreover, by introducing engineering through the lens of the NAEGrand Challenges, we ought to be able to capture and motivate a broader, more diverse array ofstudents. The Elective Units are electronic in format, learner-centered and designed for on-linedelivery. These materials are thus readily translated and integrated into the freshman engineeringcurricula at most any college or university.The ENGR 102 HS component of the proposed work addresses national interest in theproduction of skilled STEM professionals (including K−12 teachers) and citizens knowledgeableabout STEM.
