, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining

The study’s analysis examined microaggressions in the context ofundergraduate engineering programs at both sites, an HBCU and a PWI. The results suggestedthat a higher frequency of microaggressions took place at the PWI than the HBCU. The mostfrequently identified microaggressions included disjointed race and gender dialogue, hiddenlanguage, projected stereotypes, an ascription of intelligence, silence, and marginalization. Thepaper aims to increase awareness of the prevalence and varying types of microaggressionsexperienced between the sites. These results may influence policies and educational practices tomeet the needs of underrepresented minority students

; engineering design decisions are consequential for the design and how it performsupon implementation. To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision

Such short-term experiences increased partially owing to the intense global competition and theimportance for engineering students to develop global competence [6] [7].

The motivation for this project came from onsite internship industry interviews andthe department’s three industrial advisory boards, which strongly suggested that early,immersion-type industrial experiences would prepare students to become better learners. Thisconversion coincided with the strategic imperatives that stemmed from a university-wide secondyear STEM major retention effort. This latter effort culminated in a four-year NSF fundedproject, of which the early internships are a module. This paper

The third form of peer learning had the students creatingvideo project assignments and posting them on YouTube to explain course topics to their peers.Several other more informal techniques were used to encourage peer learning, which will also bediscussed in this paper.This paper will explain some of the details of how these peer learning techniques wereimplemented.

Further, as educationalresponsibilities and passions can vary with instructor role (e.g., tenured, tenure-track, lecturers,professional faculty), this study examines the differences in perspectives across instructor role. Byunderstanding how engineering educators at HSIs describe their students, discrepancies can be identifiedwhich could lead to opportunities for affecting educational change, resulting in an improved educationalexperience at HSIs and other institutions educating Latinx engineers.MethodologyResearch project
