sequence of steps allowed the researchers to identify which parts ofthe design process students focus on and which need more focus in the engineering curriculum.Another area that is relatively unexplored in the design thinking literature is the incorporation ofdiscipline-specific activities that are related to design. Materials engineering as a discipline isdefined by two key ideas. One, there exists a relationship between structure, properties, andprocessing that we can take advantage of to ensure the best performance of a material. Two, wecan systematically select the best material for an application based on its properties. The latter iscalled materials selection. Materials selection can be taught using the Pugh Matrix or Ashby Plotapproach
assiststudents with choosing classes according to the course catalog and ensure that students weremeeting requirements for graduation [20]. Academic advising would follow this structure foralmost one-hundred years until the 1960’s. Around this time, academic advising began toincorporate developmental and learning theories within its practice [22], [23]. Additionally, thenation would see an increasing number of population pursuing a higher education and by the1970’s, the country documented a record number of college students. Many of these students camefrom diverse and underserved backgrounds, thus needing more attention and assistance in theircollege experience [24]. The traditional advising model soon proved insufficient, and academicadvising shifted

To date, to the best of ourknowledge, these methods have not been employed in engineering education, and even in thebroader sociology, psychology, and educational fields, large-scale longitudinal research isextremely rare. Therefore, this paper serves an important role in compiling methodologicalinformation, potential research design choices, and best practices into a useful format for otherresearchers.Considerations for the Design of Longitudinal Research: Recommendations fromLiteratureThe purpose of this paper is to compile the issues and constraints that must be
anticipation of the actualdevelopment of new programs for either undergraduate or graduate students, a pilot course inrenewable energies was conducted during the summer of 2021. The course was offered forjunior/senior undergraduate students and had a broad presentation of renewable energies,theories, and practices associated with each. For this pilot course, a series of invited speakerlectures were offered. Experts in the field covered technical aspects of solar, wind, andbioenergy, as well as business, legislative and geopolitical aspects. Students taking the courseparticipated in an end-of-semester survey about their perception of renewable energies, theassociated industries, and their interest in pursuing jobs related to them.

InSeptember 2003, the planning began with the NSF grant to determine the best approachfor recruiting and targeting females and minority students and raising their interest inattending college and majoring in technology related fields. In early 2004, the TETCgrant was added to enhance the ongoing efforts. A&M-CC designed their recruitingprogram using the “Best Practices” for recruiting underrepresented minorities. This is atechnique used by some of the nation’s most successful engineering schools forproducing minority graduates. This paper describes the details of the implementation ofthe recruiting

backgrounds than those of the actual job applicants [30]. This isespecially problematic when considering preferences in approaches and cultural differences thatmay further contribute to how each population best performs. For example, many design featuresof software are considered exclusionary for females, based on gender differences in motivationsto use the software or in willingness to accept risks [31]. There are also differences in technicalinterview performance (time to solve and correctness) when the setting is public versus private[23]. Post-hoc analysis in this study illustrated that women’s performance improved substantiallywhen problem-solving in a private setting.In this research, we sought to examine students’ perceptions of technical

Apartfrom psychology, VR is used in medicine, in which VR can provide an effective a repeatabletraining to trainees at a low cost. Also, VR has been known to be a workspace to test and buildnew technologies9. In order to incorporate solar energy technology learning in the educationsystem, VR can be the best tool in order to give a more practical understanding of design anddevelopment of the solar energy technology.

For example, there are various environmental impacts andsustainability concerns associated with information and communication technologies that Jonesmentions. These include finite raw materials, energy consumption coming from nonrenewableresources, toxic substance waste, and an “obsolete” mentality associated with older technologicaldevices. The multi-dimensional analytical framework presents steps that can help remedy theseimpacts and concerns. Jones

One approach that may prove promising forincreasing STEM education and employment opportunities for IwD is spatial visualization skillsinstruction, and some research suggests such an approach may also be beneficial for IwD. Thisresearch team implemented two pilot studies to explore: 1) how a curriculum designed forimproving the spatial skills of first-year engineering students contributes to the development ofspatial skills for IwD; 2) what modifications are needed to make the curriculum more accessiblefor IwD; 3) what are the limitations or benefits of virtual versus in-person teaching for thisparticular population; and 4) what are the perceptions of IwD regarding the curriculum and theircapacity for success in STEM.
