, University of Virginia Sarah Lilly is a PhD student in the Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Special Education at the University of Virginia. She holds a B.S. in Mathematics and English and an M.A.Ed. in Secondary Educa- tion from The College of William and Mary. Her research centers on STEM education, particularly using qualitative methods to understand the integration of math and science concepts with computational mod- eling and engineering design practices in technology-enhanced learning environments. Prior to beginning doctoral work, she taught secondary mathematics for four years as well as created and implemented an interdisciplinary, project-based mathematics, science, and principles-of-technology
then made a career transition to teach high school physics. Having sparked my love for education, I went back to school to earn my M.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering (2015) and my Ph.D. in Engineering Education (2016). My first faculty job was at Rowan University in southern New Jersey, where I had the honor of helping develop their first-year engineering and B.S. in Engineering Entrepreneurship programs. I’m now blessed to be at CCU contributing to what God’s doing through our Industrial and Systems Engineering program and university.Dr. Julia M.

Professional Level in Engineering: The Current State of the Field and Pathways Forward Kate C. Batson The University of GeorgiaIntroductionClear, concise communication has long been considered to be a skill central to the engineeringindustry around the globe. Besides its ubiquity in practice within industry, communication inengineering settings can profoundly affect the development and safety of technology. As anexample, breakdown in engineering communication has the ability to lead to engineeringdisasters, as demonstrated by the example of the space shuttle Challenger explosion. Thus,effective communication in engineering—including written communication

community among new graduate students in a COVID world prompted the developmentof a two-week virtual orientation program for engineering and applied sciences graduate studentsat a research university. Despite the complexity of multiple time zones, technology challenges, andthe virtual space, the program sought to accomplish three goals: (1) community building amongstudents; (2) intellectual engagement with faculty in the home departments; and (3) careerdevelopment as a foundation for their overall graduate school experience. Participants (N=350 MSor PhD students) were introduced to support services (e.g., health and counseling, ombuds) andstudent organizations, attended workshops on digital literacy and technology tools, gainedperspective from

USAbstractThe science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields are characterized bydisproportionately lower participation by women and underrepresented minorities, particularly ingraduate school. The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and
