-taking capabilities, andlearning outcomes. To explore the pedagogical impact of integrating failure journaling withinengineering education, this study poses the following research questions: 1. How does incentivizing failure documentation and reflection influence engineering students’ perceptions of failure? 2. In what ways does reflective failure journaling contribute to the development of a fail- forward mindset among engineering students? 3.1. ParticipantsThe study encompasses a combined cohort of 54 students from the "Innovation ThroughMaking" course over two academic terms, D Term 2022 (D22) and D Term 2023 (D23).Reflecting the course's cross-disciplinary appeal, participants included students majoring inMechanical and

In addition, we included the ePortfolio requirement as a means for the trainees toinformally certify their attainment of data and modeling skill, and potentially advertise these toprospective employers.Modification with student leadership: The success of the working groups with the firstnetworking weekend motivated us to expand them to help plan the workshops and small groupactivities as well. Workshop sessions on data-related topics were added to the second and thirdannual symposia, while the trainees identified preferred topics for monthly workshops: datavisualization and geographic information system (GIS) tools. A workshop on entrepreneurshipwas added in Fall 2022 to replace the course in the certificate program
three semesters, starting from the initialoffering of the courses in Fall 2022, indicate that students’ perception of the course is largelypositive. Students in both courses found the courses very valuable in multiple ways. In the paper,detailed survey results will be presented and discussed. Areas for future work will also be shared.Introduction and MotivationAt Arizona State University (ASU), the Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) is a multi-year co-curricular program that typically spans the entirety of a student’s undergraduatecollegiate career. The majority of GCSP students start their journey in the program as incomingfirst year students or during their first year and continue in the program until they graduate fromtheir
,feeling part of a STEM community, participating in STEM activities, interacting with rolemodels, collaborating and ‘STEM communicating,’ understanding career opportunities, anddeveloping STEM self-efficacy all play a role in facilitating the development of STEM identity.MethodParticipantsIn Fall 2022, 12 students (7 women, 5 men; 4 Black/African American, 2 Hispanic, 6 white)participated on 2 VIP teams. Of these, 5 students (4 women, 1 man; 1 Black/African Americanand 1 Hispanic) did not continue to the spring 2023 semester. In Spring 2023, a third team wasadded to the program, resulting in a total of 13 students (4 women, 9 men; 3 Black/AfricanAmerican; 1 Hispanic, 1 Asian, 1 Mixed, 1 other, 6 white). Overall, VIP participants had a meanGPA of

Conclusion and Future WorkThis senior project was conducted during the pandemic year of 2021-2022. Students learned howto: 1) apply knowledge of sensors and sensing; 2) use LabVIEW programming to design themonitoring system; 3) apply CAD/CAM to design a test part and generate the G/M code formachining the part, then carried cutting experimentation on a CNC machine to test the monitoringsystem and CAD/CAM design; and 4) acquire the cutting force and

Assuch, the two became horribly confounded. Was the work technically unsound, or did thestudents simply explain it poorly? How can an instructor assess a project without understandingwhat a student team has done? These problems were exacerbated by distracting issues ofdisorganized and ungrammatical writing. It was difficult to focus on technical solutions.From Spring 2020 to Spring 2022 we experimented with interventions to address student writingand communication issues.

worth a doctorate.My PhD research journey had unfolded, weaved, and taken unexpected pathways, leaving mewith what felt like a mess that had severed itself from my original objectives. So three and a halfyears into my PhD journey, around the winter solstice of 2022, I sat with my supervisors and astack of over 20 post-it notes, each with words describing the work I had done and published—the “academic capitalism” in which I had participated (Slaughter & Leslie, 2001). We organizedthem into a line. There in front of us, we had made connections between my messy anddisconnected activities to create a story. Figure 1a below shows these post-it notes, as well as animage (1b) from a conference presentation where I told a further ‘tidied’ version

to be in need of a major transformation is the energy engineering education. According to the World Economic Forum [1]-[3], the demand for workers in so-called “green” fields have been rising exponentially, by far outstripping the supply of available workers. In 2023, only one out of eight workers had one or more “green” skills. Between 2022 and 2023, the number of people listing on their LinkedIn profiles at least one “green” skill increased by a meager 12.3%, while the number of job postings requiring at least one “green" skill increased by nearly twice as much (22.4%). Correspondingly, the hiring rate for workers with at least one green skill was 29% higher than the workforce average [4]. One of the main reasons for the
