The case being looked at is bounded by theparticipants (engineers and engineering interns), industry (Ag Tech start-ups), and location(Midwest US). It was a qualitative study since semi-structured interviews, held over zoom, wereused to collect the data. The interview questions were based on the resources listed in theWRICM model. Multiple questions were formed with each resource and the skills connected to itin mind. Participants were also asked about their background, degree programs, and how theywould describe their job. Two examples of questions that were asked in the interviews were“What personality

However, the field lacks specific tools to translate these aspirations to educational practices.A decade since the publication of the NGSS, exemplary engineering activities have yet to beidentified and published [26].Here, we propose a framework for explicitly connecting computational thinking practices withengineering design. We consider the three main phases of CT - problem decomposition,abstraction, and algorithmic thinking - and how these map to problem definition, needs finding,and solution generation in engineering design. With these analogs in mind we have developed acrosscutting framework that links NGSS goals with scientific inquiry, CT, and

experiences outside of classrooms have an increasedinterest in STEM and a desire to pursue STEM careers [2]. Middle school years are prime years of career awareness, especially when students seeadults in STEM careers; it resonates with them and piques their interest [3,4]. Moreover, whenstudents engage in authentic hands-on activities and can see applications of STEM in their lives,it further motivates them to pursue STEM careers [3]. Therefore, keeping the research in mind,Introduction to Research and Innovative Design in Engineering (iRIDE) was initiated in thespring of 2019 for middle school students as an after-school extracurricular club followed by asummer academy to stimulate their interest in engineering.

. Byunderstanding the cultural dimensions, we will be able to develop pedagogies that allowbetter collaboration between engineers and architects to improve communication,reducing conflicts and helping to have a more productive work environment in thefuture.BackgroundTo guide this study, we used the cultural dimensions model of Hofstede, who based hisresearch on a survey of IBM employees in more than forty countries in 1966 [18], [19].To characterize the cultural traits of different societies. [1], [11]. For Hofstede, cultureis defined as the collective propagation of the mind, which manifests itself not only invalues but also in more superficial forms [19]. Hofstede introduced the concept ofdimensions of culture by investigating the philosophical
construction because they want to help others. Programssuch as Habitat for Humanity and other programs that benefit the community must behighlighted when recruiting women, therefore this should be considered as we seekimprovements related to student perceptions of the classroom environment, learning satisfaction,and sense of belonging.At the 2021 ASEE virtual conference, Asgarpoor et al. [14] proposed that it is the obligation ofengineering leadership educators to consider that our role extends beyond the transmission oftechnical knowledge and that it is our responsibility to help engineering students develop agrowth mindset and discover the sophistication of mind to celebrate diversity, equity, andinclusion in their daily lives, school, and workplace
students feel valued and respected. This includes active learning style classroom activities to foster open and respectful discussions [16 - 18], encouraging active participation from all students, and being mindful of cultural sensitivity and bias in engineering classrooms. • Curriculum Development: Ensuring that the course curriculum is inclusive and reflects the diverse perspectives and experiences of all students [19] through incorporating diverse case studies, examples, and readings into course materials including lectures and design challenges. • Student Recruitment: Active recruitment of a diverse student body to participate in the course, including students from underrepresented groups in
shared understanding of the project’s goals and objectives.This can be beneficial for teams as it helps them to work together more effectively and efficiently.MotivationsWith this deficit gap in mind, the authors have taken an interdepartmental cross-functional approachteach cross functional communication and collaboration to Software Engineering, with the focusbeing on communication with teams that are not within the software development collective, andimportantly are part of a distributed (not on site) organization. While cross- functional collaborationand communication between departments is not new to the teaching of software engineering. Theapproach outlined in this paper is unique in that the focus is on distributed team-based learning

the formation of the engineer in mind, the instructor has implemented a mastery basedapproach in an undergraduate reinforced concrete design course. In the course, students must showaptitude in key course learning objectives, separated into three skill sets: Required Skills, MajorSkills, and Minor Skills. To test students in the skills, the instructor adapted previous homework,in class assignments, and exam questions to meet the needs of the listed skill. For some skills, thestudents can submit more than once, whereas in others, the students might need to submit a newassignment problem. In all cases, students have the chance to be evaluated, receive correction, andthen be evaluated again. This cycle builds trust between students and

Understanding “unmarked users” in medical technology designAdoption of new medical technologies is happening at breakneck speed, from decision-makingalgorithms to electronic health records to personalized medicine [2]. Much of this developmentoccurs under a universalist framework that considers a device made for one patient will likelywork for all patients. This is what Constanza-Chock refers to as designing for the “unmarked”user, whose gender, race, class, and age are not specified [3]. Yet in the minds of the engineer,this user likely has a certain set of assumed normal characteristics: English language proficient,with access to broadband internet, literate, with a normally
