The traditional Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) acronym becomes three dimensional toinclude Stamina, Transdisciplinarity, Engagement, and Mindfulness (also STEM) so as toaccelerate critical thinking of disciplinary practices across core ideas [12].Why engineers?Acknowledging the relationship between engineering culture, mental health, and issues withinclusion, improved interventions for retaining a diverse pool of talent have become a priority inthis field [13]. For example, the engineering student experience has been recently refocused toemphasize diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility through initiatives from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Findings covered areas such as placement processes, impact of highschool preparation, learning resources valued and used by students, and student views onstrategic programs to enhance success.IntroductionEfforts to increase the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) workforce byenhancing the selection of and success in engineering and science majors have addressed manyideas and directions. An area of particular interest and significant potential is to increase thesuccess rate for those who have selected a STEM career. These efforts often fall
computer science courses.Working with the English department, a linked spring section of ENGL 102 was created so that students could benefit froma linked course in their second semester. The instructors for this course can also adjust some topics to make some readingand assignments relate to technology and engineering.Spring Activities - Students often have academic difficulty in the first semester and can benefit from follow up interactionin their second semester. Realizing this, an additional course was created for spring. Rather than professionaldevelopment, this course had a focus on various engineering topics as requested by the twenty enrolled students. Studentquestions included: How does a computer work? How does the internet work? How does

theirunderstanding of design itself: To focus the design process on the needs of the user and customer rather than on the capabilities of technology requires a change in mindset, one often resisted by engineers. We were surprised to find that the journals helped to change their minds. Journals actually gave the students a place to think through their objections to the principles of user-centered design, allowing them to convince themselves of the value of these principles. 8These practical studies of the ways in which students benefit from writing that takes placeduring the “thinking” phases of projects give credence to the concept of invention, whichhas been dismissed by some as a romanticized mystification. Even though it is not yetfully
The Hands-On Delivery Approach Enhances Students' Learning Skills and Problem Solving Abilities Salame Amr, Ph.D. Virginia State University, Petersburg, Virginia 23806AbstractMuch of the engineering technology curriculum offers a technology-based deliveryapproach. The presented approach here got enhanced by many hands-on case studiespresented to students and discussed. Lecture notes, supplemented by other media,promote synthesis and evaluation in the classroom. Students should present their resultand interpretations honestly and objectively, avoid untrue, deceptive, or undocumentedstatements, and disclose any financial

, and texts to transfer key concepts. Even though this process meets most of thetypical Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) objectives, it often fails to instillcritical thinking and does not necessarily motivate students to pursue graduate thesis-oriented research.In fact, the rigid lecture and text book structures in some of the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) classesoften fail to connect the concepts with applications and with application-driven research. Of particularinterest is the impact of the aforementioned education problems in the areas of signal processing forcommunications (SP-COM). A common observation from teaching the typical UG courses in these areasis that, regardless of the innovative teaching strategies

Student outcomes representthe competencies we expect from students to have before they graduate from universities. Whenwe talk about an “outcome” we mean an “observable behavior” which also forms a dimension ofa competency. Generally, universities focus on measuring “knowledge”, also a dimension of acompetency which is the easiest to measure. Do the universities have a well

Most teaching institutions also have the advantage ofdeveloping new techniques by research and development. At some stage however, studentsmust transfer from the theoretical technological models into practice, applying theory and atthe same time adapting to a harsh production-orientated climate.2.
