notes may serve as data points for research purposes.Another method used in the program is "crowdsourcing." Students would help each other andcollaborate to build a sustainable community, contributing with their strengths and capabilities.For instance, the older cohort took on leadership roles in organizing events like the "Student-ledMentoring Event." For this event, four scholars from the first cohort (started in Fall 2021)conducted a workshop for the second cohort (started in Fall 2022), sharing their experiences onmaximizing the scholarship experiences and taking advantage of its resources. Anotherillustrative example was the Symposium event, where students spearheaded presentations abouttheir interests- encompassing school projects

This might inflate students’sense of their self-reported learning despite failing to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, andcompetencies associated with introductory CS coursework (Hui, 2023; Cloude et al, 2024).Students may, for example, build working code that does not demonstrate algorithmic thinkingskills by hard-coding solutions, using brute force programming techniques, or using otherrudimentary programming approaches. Moreover, self-reports and autograders are unlikely tocapture the more complex learning outcomes, such as computational thinking and algorithmicthinking, commonly associated with CS1 coursework (Hog & Jump, 2022; Cloud et al, 2024).The research at the center

’ PerspectivesIntroductionIn 2022 the Chips and Science Act was passed, which aims to bring more advancedsemiconductor manufacturing back to the US while mitigating supply chain risks andmaintaining US technological and economic leadership. Billions in federal investments as wellas commitments from private companies has revealed the next hurdle; the US is facing a growingworkforce shortage in the semiconductor industry [1] with a projected 67,000 unfilledsemiconductor jobs for technicians, engineers, and computer scientists by 2030 [2]. The shortageof STEM students is a major contributor to the problem. Perhaps even more important is the lackof high school curricula on semiconductors despite almost eighty years of history.To address the problem, we proposed a

We try to ensure thatgraduate students and others engaged in research are aware of the ethical dimensions of theirwork by requiring Responsible Conduct of Research courses. However, engineering faculty notonly belong to the engineering profession, but also to the profession of teaching and advising.We have ethical responsibilities there as well, but we rarely formally consider them, so we triedto address that.Two sessions on faculty ethics were held in the 2022-23 academic

Despite its short history, soft robotics has gained significantmomentum in industry and academic spaces [8], [9], [10], [11]. Additionally, despite increasingresearch interest in soft robotics, there are relatively few opportunities for undergraduateengineering students to be introduced to soft robotics during their degree programs. Based on asurvey of the top 100 US News institutions offering undergraduate engineering degrees in 2022,only 5 programs offered a soft robotics undergraduate course. The lag between undergraduateengineering education and trends in industry and research requires engineering programs to thinkcritically about how to address educational gaps [12
which their design takes place and consider different sociotechnical possibilities(Cech, 2013; Riley 2008). They must engage in expansive thinking, which entails breaking freefrom “status quo narratives and attend[ing] to science and technology from a human-centered,systems-level perspective” (Radoff et al, 2022, p. 2). This breaking free requires engineeringstudents to rethink what socio-political and economic values and perspectives are being includedin engineering from the standpoint of social justice and equity. For students, opportunities toquestion dominant narratives and values prevalent in engineering design can prompt acutefeelings of uncertainty around the process and outcomes of engineering work (Baillie &Armstrong, 2013).In our
