programs that work to bolster invention and entrepreneurship maypositively impact both students and teachers in their personal and professional growth and alsoinfluence the well-being of rural communities more broadly. Despite the symbiosis between rural areas and entrepreneurship, past attempts to expandthe K12 InVenture Prize program to rural regions have not been successful. A first strategyattempted was to provide travel stipends for students to travel to Georgia Tech for the statefinals. This offering, however, did not address the anxiety that students and teachers have aboutpresenting a project at an elite university. The leap from school competition to state competitionfelt too large for many schools. A second strategy was to

Learning 3D modeling is supposed to not only enhance students’ designdecisions but also improve their spatial thinking ability. With the proliferation of consumer-level3D printing, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR), there is a sparked interestamong educators to teach 3D modeling using tools like Tinkercad in formal and informal settings[5], [6]. An additional benefit of 3D modeling knowledge is the career path it opens. Severalcompanies and industries are in the need for 3D designers for a variety of projects

Someof the students with the “biggest ideas” around advancing novel, environmentally-friendlydesigns were disappointed that the engineering courses seemed to be focused on teaching currentpractice rather than creative solutions. Given these findings, it might be impactful on retention tohave EnvE students take a course specific to environmental engineering and/or one that allowsthem to be innovative in envisioning solutions to problems of their interest (such as a project-based course that allows students to select a project of interest, and significant latitude increatively exploring solutions).Students who felt that their education should be more balanced between technical and societalissues

Traditionally, such an experience would notoccur for engineering students until the final year of their program, in the form of a SeniorDesign or Capstone project. Alternatively, low retention rates in engineering curriculum have been attributed todifficulties insufficient support in non-engineering core math and science courses required to betaken by engineering

This requirement waschanged in 2013-14 accreditation cycle and the programs are now required to prepare students towork professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area.Therefore the design projects are only needed in one area, but students must still be exposed totopics in both areas.Table 2.
