Students were given the following requirements for their 4–7-minute presentation: • What book did you read (Title, Author)? What was the book about? • What were the links between aerospace engineering and society in your book? o Did the characters confront ethical implications? o How did aerospace technology impact society? o How did society impact aerospace technology? • How does the material we have covered in class relate to the book? o For example: if you are reading a book about the Battle of Britain, you can discuss how range or endurance of

Institutes (HEIs) are undergoing a rapid transformationfrom E.D. 4.0 to E.D. 5.0. However, systematic literature reviews reveal (i) inconsistency among researchers on E.D.5.0 terminology/attributes, and (ii) rather sparse universal markers of E.D. 5.0 that the pedagogical community agreeson. Following a recent mapping work of I.D. 4.0 to E.D. 4.0 [12], we perform a bibliometric analysis with qualitativeand quantitative insights on VOS viewer on the Scopus scientific database to identify (i) elements of E.D. 5.0 currentlyobserved in HEIs, (ii) key attributes to transform from the E.D. 4.0 to the E.D. 5.0 vision (for all fields, and specifically,for engineering and chemical engineering) and (iii) pedagogical strategies/impacts to enable the transform

The field has been leftwith an incomplete scope that has yet to provide understanding of the underlying issues or theculture of engineering programs.Once the experience of women in undergraduate engineering programs is more understood,universities and the field can make steps to alleviate the discrepancy in attainment rates betweenmen and women and broaden participation.

Engineering and Engineering Technology by the Numbers [3] published that there were14,312 degrees awarded in the year 2019 alone. These degrees come from 111 institutions thatgrant Engineering Technology degrees [3]. Despite the considerable number of degrees awardedin Engineering Technology disciplines, there is little research conducted on the experiences ofEngineering Technology students.Like Engineering Science degree earners, Engineering Technology students may test forprofessional engineering licensure in 35 states. Although the procedures in testing for a licensemay vary, Engineering Technology graduates may pursue careers as professional engineers

The process for developing the survey items consisted ofquestions that sought to examine instructional and pedagogical strategies implemented to teachstudents rigorous engineering concepts based on students’ experiences in the course. As such, thequestions provided students the opportunity to delineate, reflect, and share valuable insight andexperiences that can help develop and refine effective and equitable engineering pedagogy.The data analysis consisted of an open

embedded within our research design.Because engineering education researchers are also educators, the asymmetric relationshipbetween teacher and student can impact the quality of the interview data. For instance, there issomething potentially problematic about having faculty members interview students about thedifficulty they have speaking with faculty. While there may be other methods for facilitatingaccess, having students interview other students enabled us to tap more directly into studentexperiences.1 We also realized, through the course of this pilot study, that we were inviting ourstudent researchers to engage in a practice that was contiguous with a mode of interactionfamiliar to students—talking to friends about the challenges they were
most crucial to request from instructorsbeyond those supported and enforced by the university.A. Lenses This study utilizes several lenses during data synthesis: Universal Design for Learning,ableism, and bottlenecks. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the practice of designinglearning to be accessible to all (or most) students by removing barriers from the learningenvironment [11]. UDL recognizes that while it is unlikely individual accommodations can beeliminated entirely, application of UDL principles can significantly decrease the need forindividual accommodations. Ableism is a series of structures, norms, and interactions rooted inmarginalizing those with mental, physical, or other perceived differences from the non
heuristics.Dr. Justin L. Hess, Indiana University-Purdue University of Indianapolis Dr. Justin L Hess is the Assistant Director of the STEM Education Innovation and Research Institute at IUPUI.

The models were generated for problems that students in previousyears found challenging or expressed difficulty in visualizing. Students were then encouraged touse this model to inform their problem solving. For creating, students were given the opportunityto generate 3D models based on textbook examples, indicate types of stresses and displaydeformed shapes. For both activities, student perceptions, best practices, and lessons learned arenoted. Students were also asked to provide feedback about their experience and the effectivenessof AR models in their learning in class
