. The Integrative GraduateEducation Research and Traineeship on Magnetic and Nanostructured Materials (IGERT-MNM)is a collaboration between Purdue University, Cornell University, and Norfolk State Universityto train interdisciplinary science and engineering doctoral students for future roles as leaders inthe materials science and engineering fields. As part of this socialization into future careers,students proceed through a variety of modules. This paper specifically covers student learning ina pedagogy module, which introduces students to best practices in teaching and learning.Graduate student reflections on the development of high-school level student and teacher scienceand engineering activities were analyzed via thematic coding methods in

Engage students to do research on an existing engineering case study and present it to the class for discussion. This method helps both in motivating and involving students to learn the subject well as it applies to real-world. It also helps to relate design with current and contemporary issues and how the overall design of a component or a system impacts the society as a whole. This is one of the most powerful methods of innovative instructions. 5. Bring industry speakers to make presentations on a
the emerging nexus ofexascale computing, quantum computing and AI is the materials genome initiative (MGI) [7]. InMGI, informatics is applied to design new materials significantly faster than the conventionaltrial-and-error approach, thereby revolutionizing clean energy, national security and humanwelfare. Recognizing the need for developing cyberinfrastructure for MGI, U.S. Department ofEnergy (DOE) has established computational materials science (CMS) centers. One of the firstCMS centers is MAGICS (Materials Genome Innovation for Computational Software) at USC.MAGICS has developed a suite of open-source software for use by a broad community of notonly materials scientists but also physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers [8-13

The authors also believe that this enhancement ofknowledge and skills will be a necessary component for all future bridge camps developed byND EPSCoR. ND EPSCoR is planning to conduct four bridge camps during the summer of 2020and will continue to refine the camp and track participants throughout their academic careers. Insubsequent research, in an effort to determine the overall impact of these camps, ND EPSCoRwill compare the college matriculation rates of the bridge camp participants to the collegematriculation rates of all AI high school graduates in ND.AcknowledgmentsThe development and implementation of the ND EPSCoR NATURE bridge camp was madepossible through funding provided by NSF

TheUniversity of Detroit Mercy developed technical entrepreneurship case studies to integrate EMLinto existing engineering fundamentals courses [14]. Some universities have developed anEntrepreneurship Center. For example, MIT has several departments, labs, centers, and over 40student clubs and initiatives to foster entrepreneurship and innovation. Educational efforts in thisarea have an impressive impact at local, regional, and global levels [15]. Stanford’s School ofEngineering has an Entrepreneurship Center. The Stanford Technology Ventures Program(STVP) attempts to accelerate entrepreneurship education at their university, and around theworld [16

The approach is promising for Hispanic andunderrepresented students in STEM because it is structured to help students to acquire the skillsfor successful research participation and professional development rather than assuming thatprofessional skills have already been developed by graduation[5, 6, 7]. Research on ARG forHispanic students has shown positive results and is endorsed as a best practice by the CAHSI, aNational INCLUDES Alliance [8].

In the second iteration, product design students had not yet completedentrepreneurship and were currently taking ergonomics, and biomedical engineering studentswere currently taking entrepreneurship. So, by the time they took the collaborative capstonedesign course, the students had completed 8-10 credit hours of common coursework, somedelivered by product design faculty and some by biomedical engineering faculty.The biomedical engineering faculty members who originally advocated for this joint curriculumwanted to provide a human-centered design perspective for their students by integrating designthinking in undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum.

However, research on CMstudents' current understanding of infrastructure disparities is limited within the currentliterature. By utilizing the Envision sustainability rating system, instructors may teach studentshow to better understand these concerns and how to address them as engineers. As the nation'sfuture workforce is made up of diverse students, the resolution process should start with them inorder to build equitable, sustainable, and effective infrastructures.To this end, the Envision rating system is briefly described in the following section.The Envision™ Rating SystemThe Envision rating system provides a structured framework to evaluate sustainabilityrequirements for

This jointly offered CIMProgram is designed to provide entrepreneurs, small-business owners, and executives responsiblefor innovation
Computer Science and Engineering to address further topics on responsibilities andexpectations for students in computing. The two-semester capstone senior design sequence(4316/4317) emphasizes an extended design experience in a team setting, but had the additionalresponsibility for delivering substantial knowledge and assessing student achievement on non-technical student outcomes.This situation often led to uneven coverage of the non-technical topics from semester to semesterdepending upon the instructor. Students also found it very challenging to balance betweenlearning the technical topics and soft topics simultaneously. The topics covered in theprofessional practices course provide a just-in-time coverage of the topics most needed at thisstage

The content ofthe Safe Zone workshops are tailored for a Engineering/STEM audience by incorporating thefindings from our research on LGBTQ in Engineering. This is done by various means such asdirect presentation of quantitative results, case studies about experiences of LGBTQ individualsin STEM, and activities exploring how STEM culture impacts LGBTQ individuals. Uponcompletion of Safe Zone training, graduates receive a Safe Zone sticker to display in theirworkplace. This simple symbol of LGBTQ alliance has been shown to benefit LGBTQ studentsand

their experience to lead.The Master of Engineering in Manufacturing (MEngM) at MIT was developed over a period of10 years, and has more than 200 alumni. It is based on the notion of a need for graduate leveleducation in the profession of engineering that is not fulfilled by the conventional research-oriented Master of Science degree. We have learned that there is a large pool of outstandingstudents who will seek out this degree once it is offered, and who have as alumni drawn stronglypositive reviews from their employers.Students in the program, a cross-section of the best and the brightest, are drawn to the notion thatmanufacturing is how technological advances and innovations become rooted in a nation'seconomy. They want to understand the
between science and technology, and understand or apply the engineering designprocess, recognizing design constraints and trade-offs of each design.8 Unfortunately, thereexists a lack of access to adequate resources – including qualified STEM teachers.9According to the National Science Board (NSB), teacher quality is one of the most importantfactors that influence student learning, and ongoing professional development is one of thefactors that affect teacher quality.

resulted in curriculum compression – sometimes to extreme levels.Faced with pressure to add material, reduce time, and satisfy the demands of the (sometimesarchaic) industry hiring practices, academe too often resorted to a balkanization approach incurriculum development.One possible solution to our overall dilemma is to make the entry level requirement forprofessional practice a 5- or 6-year program. This is at best only a partial solution to theproblem. While science and mathematics provide the engineer much of the basic tool andknowledge suite needed for practice, it is design, and more recently its abstraction into systemsengineering, that is the essence of our profession. In educating engineers for our future, we needto think in terms of a
