designed to take, at most, one ninety-minutelecture. The “Water Filtration Activity” was first implemented in the engineering design coursein Spring 2022. (See Appendix C.) It is designed to take a maximum of two ninety-minute lectures.In addition to engaging students in STEM, the activities also bring awareness to potential socio-economic differences and public policy. This is a work-in-progress and the research teamhypothesizes that there is also the potential for an understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.The activities are presented to first-year courses but are also part of upper level courses. It ishypothesized that by repeating the activities, students will gain a deeper understanding of diversity,equity and inclusion.Literature

The capstone experience has morphed over the past 20 years from a single projectcompleted by the entire graduating class in small teams to multiple projects with separatestakeholders for each capstone team. The current structure is a two-course sequence thatincorporates several pedagogical approaches to help students apply and hone their professionalskills. Standardized or common grading rubrics, guidance, and assessment tools have beendeveloped and used uniformly by all capstone groups under the direction of faculty advisors and acourse coordinator. These guidelines include mandatory weekly progress meetings with

In addition, engineers must cater tothree types of readers when preparing their technical documents: those who only read the text,visual readers who only look at graphs, figures and tables and the rest who read the text and thevisuals [5]. Engineering programs planning for ABET accreditation visits need to identify how to     incorporate technical writing into their curriculum and develop a plan to assess the “ability tocommunicate effectively with a range of audience”. This paper presents a case study where students learn the basics of and practice client-focused technical writing in a junior

They presented that the Learning Cycle 5E basedSTEM learning materials are appropriate to increase students' learning outcomes in studyingThermochemistry. In teaching engineering subject principles in Japan, Yata et al. [17] mentionedthat it is critical to have a pedagogy that combines the learning process with activities. Duran andDuran [18] posited strongly that STEM education is best when carried out with an inquiry-basedapproachh. These reports show that 5E training has a clear

[8].For those students who have interest, are accepted, and enrolled, the graduation rate of UnitedStates engineering students has remained steady for decades. Of all students who enroll asengineering majors approximately 50% will graduate, with a disproportionately high attritionrate for women and minorities [9].Understanding and addressing student success factors is a critical element to supporting diverseand thriving engineering graduates. Among the main factors [9] found for students leavingengineering were classroom and academic climate, self-efficacy and self-confidence, and raceand gender issues. Academic success is not solely based on abilities and aptitudes; it is alsoinfluenced by sense of belonging in the academic environment [10
