our students that are designed to build on our strengths and provide new areas of success.IntroductionMakerspaces are no longer novel or rare and are regularly being established on campuses and inurban spaces across the United States and beyond. A variety of research has been conducted tocatalog the positive impacts of makerspaces especially as it relates to engineering education. Ascampuses develop makerspaces, they have used the spaces as a type of laboratory to test theimpact of projects and courses related to making. We will build on this growing literature as wedevelop programming and policies for our Innovation Center (expected to open in the Fallsemester of 2022) that will promote an open and inclusive experience for users.New

As a result, graduate students will need to seeknon-academic roles in industry or the government upon graduation.As part of a research study funded through the NSF Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE),we are seeking to build upon an existing transportation engineering graduate program throughthe integration of a research-to-practice model based upon cognitive apprenticeship. As part ofthis model, we include practical experiences that we believe will prepare students for non-academic roles while maintaining the program’s current level of scientific rigor.
