Understanding the mediational of VMTwG inlearning mathematics can inform our understanding of how learners interact with othertechnological tools for doing mathematics and how learners build their knowledge using thetools. This understanding can be extended to engineering students. Their learning’ activities canbe mediated epistemically, pragmatically, or pedagogically by technological tools. The differentmediations of tools in students’ learning activity allow us to see clearly how students engage inan activity, which helps educators to support students’ learning

Nearly 24% of students identify as African American and 15% as Hispanic. When genderis considered, 21% of SPCEET students identify as women. SPCEET comprises ninedepartments, including CEE, the study’s target department. The CEE department enrollment wasover 700 students during the Fall 2022 semester. Of these students, 21% were African Americanand 20% were Hispanic. The department outperformed the college with women representation atjust over 27%.C.

Smith [7] observed need to emphasize technological,interpersonal, and socio-technical competence in engineering education. Fisch and MeLeod argue for lifelonglearning, “we are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist . . .using technologies that haven't beeninvented . . . in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet” [8]. Shinn [9] is vocal in his supportof liberal learning and says that it is a key fiduciary responsibility of college and university boards to not onlyfinancially support liberal education at their institutions, but also to oversee its success and integration

Unfortunately, only around 16% of high school seniors are bothproficient in math and interested in STEM fields [4]. Only 17% of bachelor’s degrees awarded toU.S. citizens are in STEM fields [5], and roughly 30% of chemistry and physics teachers in U.S.public high schools did not major in these fields and

InformationThroughout the country there are numerous employment opportunities requiring skills that canbe acquired through attaining a degree linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math(STEM). Unfortunately there is often a gap between the number of jobs available and thenumber of qualified applicants. This gap is especially acute in the State of Washington wherethere are an estimated 25,000 unfilled positions of which 80% are high-skilled STEM or health-care related1.Washington State is the base of operations for such engineering and technology giants asMicrosoft, Amazon, and Boeing.
