All studentsparticipated in the survey, and the results revealed that 62.5% of the students reported beingextremely satisfied with the robotics program, including working with their peers and interactingwith the faculty. The students expressed that they found the academic program experienceenjoyable and useful in helping them to identify their future college interests and majors.IntroductionEducational robotics offers a stimulating and enjoyable environment for young individuals, whilesimultaneously introducing them to technological advancements.

interestedto study for a university degree?”, and “why are you interested in learning about robotics? Whatare your career goals?”. The answers would help demonstrate the students’ writing and technicalskills, previous involvements, and interests. The students are selected from schools all aroundQatar that are interested in robotics and have shown to possess great group dynamics. Typically,the students are selected based on their performance in previous interactions from the STEMactivities and programs hosted by the university where the outstanding and skilled students areidentified and invited to be participate. However, there are instances where the students reach outto participate in such programs or schools would nominate their high-achieving

Commitment of Community Collaborators in Engineering Education and Industry (Work in Progress) AbstractThe underrepresentation of neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with autism, in the field ofengineering has been well-documented. The inclusion of these diverse learners must involve innovativepathways to engineering instruction. Additionally, steps must be taken to ensure inclusion and success inboth educational and workplace settings through individualized supports and by effectively preparingeducators, peers, and employers. Engineering Community Inclusion of Individuals with Autism (ECIIA), anNSF-funded project, will employ virtual reality (VR) technology to engage more autistic high

underrepresented students must develop together in the class activities. CRPempowers the teachers' role as a designer in implementing policies and sociocultural research fordeveloping three main competencies in classrooms. The first competence that CRP teachers haveis student learning. Ladson-Billings redefined this term in 2021. She writes that it means howmuch the student grows in one scholarly period that begins in the fall and finishes in the spring-measuring this individual growth. CRP highlights this growth and avoids demerits of thestandards test; CRP considers that standardized tests do not measure other meaningful learningthat students could have acquired during the academic year. The second competence, CulturalCompetence in the context of CRP

for the educational context for this study. Failure forthis study was defined as not implementing NE, which would ultimately mean students not beingable to learn hands-on engineering integrated with reading and writing. Terms Chances of Failure(CoF) and Impact of Failure (IoF) were used to measure the probability and impact of potentialfailure. Additionally, since the goal was to recognize which factors out of the 10 acted as barriersfor NE, the term Barrier Index (BI) was used to signify multiplication result from CoF and IoFvalues.First section of the questionnaire included questions around the 10 factors to gauge CoF based onthe situations and perceptions of teachers. For each of the 10 factors, a corresponding questionwas included in the

If possible,multiple trips per school year (perhaps one fall, one spring) would help bring in more students. Itis difficult to comment on benefiting underrepresented students, as Duke (as are most colleges) isexpensive. Some students were attending simply to see what college life was like, while othersmay be specifically thinking about Duke as their post-secondary education. I believe those thatidentified as underrepresented students still found enjoyment and a ‘place’ with Duke, but morecommentary on

Assessing the feasibility of implementing the curriculum in rural STEM classrooms: Teacher’s feedback during learning community sessions, interview and focus group responses, and responses to the Stages of Concern (SOC) questionnaire from the Concerns- Based Adoption Model (CBAM) suggest that teachers were engaged with the program and found the model usable and feasible to implement. 3.

Wesearched three education-related databases: ERIC (EBSCO), Education Source, and AustralianEducation Index (also known as “International ERIC”). We composed a search string usingkeywords for concepts related to our objective (Table 1), and completed the search in December2023. We limited our search to 1993 onward, papers written in English, and peer-reviewedresearch work.Table 1: Search terms used. Search strings for each concept were combined with AND to createan overall search string.

to the youth participating in engineering outreach.Keywords: Role models, engineering education, outreach, elementary, career planningIntroductionIn this paper, we use data from a three-year study of an engineering outreach program tochallenge the notion that youth engaged in engineering outreach programming readily take upnear-age peers or adults as role models. This is not to say that this does not occur in certaincases, but we do not think that it occurs as readily nor at the magnitude that we and others in thefield have believed that it does.Outreach programs for youth often attempt to position adults as role models, usually with thegoal of inspiring youth by messaging that they, too, can be like the role model or do what theydo.

In the comparison of pre-surveysbetween the Nomination Camp and Self-Selection Camp, six items showed a statisticallysignificant difference change: 1. Engineers mainly work on machines and computers. (p = .012) 2. Engineers mainly work on things that have nothing to do with me. (p = .012) 3. More time should be spent on hands-on projects in science or technology activities in school.
