, the researchexperience is greatly dependent on the mentoring provided informally by the research laboratoryand the research advisor. In addition, the Honors College would like to increase the number ofstudents completing their Honors Capstone (senior thesis). To respond to these goals, an“Introduction to STEM Research” course was developed and taught. This course was broadlydesigned to group mentor the students into the research process, prepare them for the subsequentin-laboratory research experience, and scaffold them towards completion of the Honors program.This course is broadly focused to provide a general approach to research and graduate schoolpreparation appropriate for all majors in the Engineering College and other programs in
federal funds for DOD research, development, test, and evaluation, a great deal of research inengineering goes to the design or development of technologies for the military [10]. Thisincludes a great deal of work by engineers in companies that aren’t identified as militarycontractors. For example, several top tech companies, including Amazon, Google, andMicrosoft all have past, current, or proposed projects with the DOD [11]. It is challenging togauge exactly how much engineering research is military-related, but a sense of the figure can beseen by looking at the percent of federal monies that go towards military research. In 2020, theUS National Science Board reported that about 44% of the federal monies directed to scienceand engineering

CURRICULUM DESIGN The curricular framework and instructional practices of EPIC are discussed in thefollowing sections. The 4-year minor program progresses through themes and builds upon earliercontent, broadening the experiences of these engineering students and mirroring the core seminarrequirements in Honors (i.e., 1st Year Connections, 2nd Year Life as a Scholar and/or Foundationsof Community Engagement, 100-400 level transdisciplinary seminars, and a culminating Honorsthesis or Capstone project). To complete the minor (21 credit hours) which fulfills the requirements for UniversityHonors designation, EPIC Scholars take 9 hours of seminars as a cohort (6 X 1 credit hour, 2 X1.5 credit hours for senior thesis), Foundations of

Session XXXX 10 Recommendations for Incorporating MetacognitionMetacognitive approaches should ideally be included into the engineering curriculum at all stages,from engineering concepts in the first freshman semester to capstone projects in the senior year.Project/Problem/Inquiry-Based approach to instruction is the best way to address this aspect. Forinstance, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University has a course –Bicycle Dissection Labs – whose purpose is “To learn more about the most widely usedtransportation vehicle in the world - how it functions, how it evolved, and how to keep yours inbetter condition.” 17 The stability of a bicycle has also been discussed in physics literature.18 Sucha “hands-on
second year of the program, students enroll in STS ‘practicum’ courses that are designedto provide students with service-learning and field experiences focused on communityengagement.

how others haveapproached empathy in curricula, projects, and practice. We applied Zaki’s model of empathy —which triangulates “sharing,” “thinking about” and “caring about,” as the theoretical frameworkguiding the inquiry — and performed a systematic literature review. We sought answers to thefollowing research questions: 1) How have educators integrated empathy development intolearning activities in STEM?; 2) What pedagogical approaches have been shown to promoteempathy of students in STEM?; and 3) How have scholars approached the development ofdifferent kinds of empathy in classrooms? After querying Google Scholar, analyzing more than10,000 publications, and applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, we identified 63 articles thatcentered

[3] offerednaming conventions for each of Batson’s empathy concepts, including: (1) empathic accuracy ortheory of mind; (2) motor mimicry; (3) emotional contagion; (4) projection: imagine-self withinanother’s position; (5) perspective-taking – imagine other; (6) perspective-taking; imagine-self-as-if-self was the other; (7) empathic distress; and (8) empathic concern or sympathy.While complex, Batson’s [5] list is not comprehensive. For example, Cuff et al. [6] identified 43distinct definitions of empathy. They suggested that definitions of empathy vary by eight themes,including whether empathy is cognitive or affective, a congruent or incongruent feeling, a trait ora state

note that thetime spent on the class assignment should vary considerably based on the type of contextual activity usedin each course for integration of the module content with the course content. For instance, for theLearning from Failure (LFF) module, the contextual activity spans the whole semester with a teamproject done in a first-year course, yet we do not see students reporting an increased number of hoursrelated to that. Similarly, the Elevator Pitch (EP) module is overlayed on a required component forseniors in their 2nd semester of a year-long Capstone Project. We see in the data that over 60% of thestudents report spending less than 2hrs, and fewer than 15% report spending more than 5hrs on theassignment. 100 80 60 40 20 0
. Often, thepedagogical approaches by each faculty may make it less than clear to students as to theconnections among and across classes and topic areas. Curricula generally balance introductorycornerstone courses, capstone design courses, and mezzanine engineering fundamentals andengineering depth coursework. The technical depth, especially in mechanical engineering, isspread across the sophomore engineering fundamentals and upper-level depth courses, withmany prerequisite chains covering multiple breadths.At the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, the classes (and faculty research areas) areorganized around Design & Manufacturing/Systems Engineering, Dynamic Systems &Controls/Robotics, Solid Mechanics, and Thermal & Fluid

In order to better prepare students for the scenarios theywill be dealing with in their careers a more focused research integration mechanism would allowstudents to more easily identify the skills required to address their assignments in the field. Theimportance of early and consistent exposure to the research process is essential to moremeaningful work during training and while completing capstone research projects. If students areengaging in research processes and taught about the process early on, the projects and questionsthey will answer will be more meaningful to them.Conclusion/LimitationsEven though the student responses indicate a limited exposure and emphasis on researchmethodology

right).II.5 Programming & Sensor CalibrationThe Arduino platform has become very popular in college-level education in the past decade, andmost of the literature reports on its use by first-year or second-year engineering students (e.g.,[2], [3], [4], [10]). Our course is senior-level; as such the students are expected to have advancedknowledge about programming and control theory. They may even come across the Arduino plat-form in their senior capstone projects. Hence, we raised the complexity of the programming part inthis course. Instead of using open-source libraries offered by the Arduino community, the studentswere asked to write the code from scratch for most of their lab work. Also, sensor calibration wasadded to the curriculum to

Students will need to understandthe contextual factors surrounding data sets, deal with incomplete information, and deal withproblems that have more than one right answer. They will need to understand how to chooseamong options for analytical techniques and appropriately apply them. It is also critical that theydevelop the skills needed to

Similar issues are investigated in the context of a capstone design course in [2].The authors show that students’ project scopes and teamwork processes underwent significantadaptations in response to the rapid transition to online learning; nevertheless, the studentsdemonstrated resilience and reported learning experiences on par with previous years. However,this resilience took a toll on their mental health.These studies show that the research community has accepted that online teaching can usually bemade effective, even for coursework with a strong emphasis on interactive
