We are notsimply academic colleagues doing professional tasks together; we strive to be a communitybased in respect, care, appreciation, and love for one another, a manifestation of SE in action.We have met once a week via Zoom since early October, 2022. These meetings were scheduledfor one hour but in practice often lasted an hour-and-a-half to two hours. We also maintainedcommunication and built community through a WhatsApp group chat outside of our meetings. Inour Zoom meetings and group chat, we engaged in practices aimed at creating communitythrough dialogue. We intentionally placed a

the ABET definition of engineering design tostudents, emphasizing open-ended problem-solving. The laboratory curriculum included twodissection labs, three Design-Build-Test (DBT) labs and a semester-long BeetleBot project, toprovide practical exposure to mechanical engineering concepts. We sought to understand howengineering students drew connections between the lab content and engineering design. Thecourse was assessed in Fall 2022 at the end of the semester through a voluntary, anonymousGoogle form survey that included questions about student impressions of the lab course. Thesurvey recorded which labs were perceived by students as being most integrated with engineeringdesign and which key aspects of engineering design (derived from the

andmore informed decision-making about materials selection and performance (Yan et al., 2020).One such critical application is the prediction of concrete properties, for example, compressivestrength, density, and workability, which fundamentally determine the performance, safety, andcost-effectiveness of construction projects (Muliauwan et al., 2020). Traditional methods ofmaterial testing can be time-intensive and laborious, requiring significant effort to collect samples,conduct lab tests, and interpret results (Rajput, 2022; Zou et al., 2023). By contrast, AI and machinelearning models can learn from historical test datasets to predict concrete properties under varyingconditions, thereby offering a quick and robust tool that supports
complete research study was to evaluate the efficacy of how these projectsfurther an EM in the honors FYEP. We focused on one specific attribute of EM which wasmaking connections. Our primary research question was: Are there differences in students’ability to make connections between different first-year engineering design projects? Thepurpose of the comparison was to determine whether both projects provided equal value to thefirst-year students regarding their ability to learn to make connections. To answer our researchquestion, we used concept maps developed during the 2021-2022 academic year. We scored asubset of 22 maps (n = 11 from the robot design project, n = 11 from the nanotechnologyresearch project) with an adapted traditional scoring

Directorate established the Engineering ResearchCenters (ERC) program which continues today. The ERC program is lauded for facilitatinginterdisciplinary research, advancing technology, preparing generations of engineeringprofessionals and leaders, and enabling research breakthroughs to move from labs to market[13].Since the 1980s, ENG has expanded significantly. Engineering research has also become centralto other new directorates, such as the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships(TIP) established in 2022. The CHIPS bill formally codified this new directorate into law, thefirst in over 30 years, and authorized $81 billion in new funding for NSF from 2023-2027 [22], asubstantial portion of which will go towards TIP’s support of
integration of engineering justiceinto a statics course [16].In addition to responding to ABET and professional expectations and aspirations, courses thataddress issues of equity in infrastructure have the potential to attract more, and more diverse,students to the civil engineering profession. Civil engineering has been struggling to attractstudents, as compared to disciplines like mechanical engineering that have experienced largeincreases in enrollment over the past decade. For example, based on ASEE data, the number ofBachelor’s degrees awarded in Civil plus Civil/Environmental Engineering increased by 977between 2013 and 2022 as compared to an increase of 11,065 in Mechanical Engineering [17],[18].

Analysis. It is a graduate course, open to allengineering and computer science majors. Although an introductory statistics course is notrequired, it is recommended. The course has been taught four times since 2016, evolving from anapplied statistics course into a data science course. Previously, much of the course content wascentered on statistics and practice of statistical concepts using textbook problems with a finalproject applying these concepts to a real-world data set. The last time that the course was taught,in Fall 2022, the statistics content was reduced, a textbook was not used, and the course almostexclusively relied on real-world data sets for lecture examples and homework assignments.

challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, IPPDsolicited two projects within the UF academic community and offered a pro bono sponsorship toone community service project. Without the intention to continue this practice, in 2021 one moreacademic project was allowed. In 2022, requests for projects were published again with an intentto permanently establish these types of projects. Therefore, the need to study the impact ofhosting these projects while always keeping over 80% of the projects as industry sponsored.The study will involve course data collected from all the IPPD students who participated duringthe academic years 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.

primary purpose is to increase K-12 students’interest in pursuing STEM careers in the future. This study was carried out during one of thosecamps. The study aims to explore what factors affect K-12 students' interest during the GEARUPcamp.GEARUP Program DescriptionDuring the summer of 2022, high school students and teachers attended a two-day GEAR UPcamp at Mountain West University. The camp was set up to prepare K-12 students for a STEMcareer and serve as an intervention program to improve K-12 students’ interest in pursuing aSTEM discipline. The Summer 2022 camp was a project-based experiential rocket-buildingcamp. Project-based learning is becoming an accepted learning strategy in engineering education[9]. During the camp, students were
