Native American Engineering StudentsABSTRACTEngineering students have limited opportunities for experiential learning, especially at TribalColleges and Universities, where engineering programs tend to be small, and resources areextremely limited. Typically, the first and senior years of a student's engineering educationjourney are infused with hands-on projects and capstone courses. However, the sophomore andjunior years generally need more opportunities for active learning, gaining professional skills,and developing a sense of professional practice. Also, scholars have increasingly realized thatarts subjects help students understand connections between different disciplines from acomprehensive perspective.This study highlights findings from

Hands-On Learning: A Case Study on Project-Based Learning in Advanced Manufacturing and Additive Manufacturing Courses1. IntroductionAdvanced manufacturing integrates cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, artificialintelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Additive Manufacturing. Advanced manufacturingtechnologies are fundamental to Industry 4.0. Educating students in these areas is crucial todeveloping a workforce capable of innovating and managing highly automated manufacturingsystems. Modern manufacturing systems require interdisciplinary knowledge spanningmechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineering. Therefore, teaching methods formodern manufacturing should emphasize creative thinking

The civil engineering body of knowledge identifies four categories(foundational, engineering fundamentals, technical, and professional), including 21 outcomes forcivil engineers to acquire [4]. Many of these outcomes are addressed through the KEENframework. Integrating an entrepreneurial mindset into civil engineering education fosters aculture of critical thinking and collaboration, enabling civil engineers to approach challengesholistically by considering diverse stakeholders and environmental contexts [5]. This broadenedawareness enhances problem-solving capabilities while empowering professionals to createinnovative, sustainable, and value

Rodriguezand Liber (2020), in particular, call out the goals, and potential benefits, of entrepreneurshipeducation. They highlight the ways that entrepreneurship education in high schools can, andshould, be linked to the development of skills linked to design-thinking, to thinking towardinnovative practices and processes, and the ways that entrepreneurship programs can be a‘gateway’ to actual entrepreneurship projects. As we examined curricula from several differenthigh school programs, we saw the connection of the assignments, readings, and projects to theskills-development listed above

In the context of research, we are focused onhelping students connect research with value creation.

While CUREs have many similarities to traditional laboratory courses or courseresearch projects, the work students do as part of a CURE is framed in a fundamentally differentway. Research projects within CUREs ideally have direct and indirect impact on the broaderscientific community and offer students the opportunity to share study findings with externalstakeholders [8]. Consequently, CUREs represent an overlap between the triumvirate of studentlearning, stakeholder impact, and promotion of a faculty’s research program.In this work
