-device literacy.IntroductionThe development of computational thinking (CT) skills is essential to prepare students fortheir future professions [1], but mastering these skills requires extensive practice and,unfortunately, current CT applications are inadequate [2]. Therefore, efficient development ofCT skills must start early with unplugged and age-appropriate technology [3]. However, theconcerns of many early childhood educators regarding children’s technology usage [4] oftenimpedes CT integration [5]. Additionally, educators may lack the necessary knowledge to usetechnology efficiently in the classroom due to the absence of mandatory courses in somecollege programs [4]. Educators often rely on previous screen usage studies and

Sudhir, from India, stated, “My mom and dad said, ‘Hey, you need to studyhard…higher education is very important’…they made it clear that with a good education, youget more choices on the kind of career you can pursue and the life you will have.” Jade, fromThailand, indicated her father “never treated me as I’m a girl…I was raised up being rightfullyindependent…he didn’t try to have me thinking to go get your masters and find a job and getmarried.” Similarly, Dahlia, from India, described her parents as “always encouraging me to dowell in school and
to their foreign national student colleagues) are even more likely to lack technicalstandards education. In contrast to the U.S.’s approach, many countries introduce their studentsto technical standards in grade schools and continue that education through high school [17].As of this time, ABET only accredits bachelor (four-year degree) and master (post-graduate)programs. Therefore, many graduate programs including doctoral programs do not hold graduatestudents to the technical standards educational exposure and requirements that they do theirundergraduate students. Educators who support graduate students (e.g., faculty, staff, engineeringlibrarians) have the added challenges of supporting both undergraduate and graduate students.Two examples

Hispanic-serving institutions have historically beenunderfunded, under-resourced, and typically lack the institutional capacity to adequately meetthe needs of the predominantly Latinx and low-income populations they serve [19, 20, 21].The institution offers Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in a variety of STEM disciplines, includingcomputer science, and enrolls approximately 1,200 undergraduate students and 400 graduatestudents. The average net price for students in 2016-17 was $13,741 for full time undergraduatestudents. The school is majority white (53%) with just over a quarter Hispanic studentenrollment

ethnic groups, Hispanic/Latino students suffer low educationalattainment at all levels, e.g. 18% of all Associates, 12% of all Bachelors, 9% of Masters and 7%of Doctorate degrees [1]. The authors describe multiple contributing factors such asfirst-generation students, the Hispanic cultural value for work ethic and contributing income tothe family, distrust of the American education system, aversion to debt, and a focus on survivalrather than success that is socialized in many working-class Latino children due to poverty issuesand low-income levels. Twenty-five years of lower STEM degree completions despite growingenrollment, along with higher education costs, lack of preparedness [2], and not feeling welcomeon campus [3] contribute to the equity
especiallyimportant due to potential pitfalls surrounding computational modeling. As Lingefjärd [13]documented, masters students building models in a computational environment would lend anunreasonable level of trust to the results of those models. In a sense, computing would ‘takeover’ and students would not engage in critical thinking to critique their own models.Lingefjärd’s studies “confirmed the essential role played by the validation part of mathematicalmodeling when technology is present.” Explicit instruction and practice in validation maycontribute to training students who exercise engineering judgment to wield and consumecomputational models critically.While explicit teaching of modeling is rare in undergraduate education, there does exist

. After the regional campuses revise their curriculum, there has to be maintenance support for these labs. With the delay in shipping and handling, it is not convenient to order broken parts, sensors, or development boards during the course of a semester. Therefore, there have to be extra kits available for backup which requires planning for the budget accordingly. There are maker spaces available on the central campus where students can work on their open-ended projects. For the second semester course (Fundamentals of Engineering II), the project requires brainstorming and conceptualization of the design and creation of the prototypes. Students need to master these skills, however, there are no

Engineering design notebooks are gaining attention by instructors tointegrate their facilitation (structured, semi-structured or open) and reflections, as thenotebook serves the dual purpose of learning and assessment. The notebook (product orprocess-focused) is intended to record the thoughts, design iterations, and research conductedby students, while the instructors are able to assess student progress in a formative and/orsummative manner.While the structure can vary significantly, we can make an important distinction betweenprocess- and product-based
