informing themabout the course. The course was nominally geared towards freshmen, but sophomores andjuniors were included as a way to recruit transfer students. While the course did provide studentswith a unit of credit, it did not fulfill specific graduation requirements and the pass/no pass gradedid not impact student GPA. Accordingly, the motivation for taking the class was based upon adesire for self-improvement. This study was reviewed and approved to be in compliance withfederal regulations regarding the protection of human subjects (IRB project number 130252SX).Students who signed the IRB consent form also completed a survey about their experiences inthe course.The initial enrollment in MAE7 was 75 students, but not all students showed up
students with anintroduction to STEM via hands-on design and practice, and to provide the high school studentswith an opportunity to see STEM skills and expertise used to directly impact the lives ofindividuals that may be differently-abled. Some participants in the program were selected for theopportunity to gain additional experience working in a research lab for a few weeks during thesummer. Additionally, the engineering graduate students gain valuable perspectives of howengineering should play a role in addressing social justice issues that plague society.A second outreach initiative, the Exploring Engineering Through Toy Design (EETD) program,has adapted the Toy Design Guides curriculum from the Lemelson-MIT and the Toy ProductDesign class at
within and across school districts. PD sessions includedtime for teachers to develop lesson plans, explore resources, and reflect on their learning.We used a mixed methods research design to investigate the impact of the PD program onteacher self-efficacy and classroom pedagogy with a focus on cultural relevance and engineeringdesign. Quantitative pre/post data was collected using three survey instruments: TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS), Culturally Responsive Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale(CRTSE), and Culturally Congruent Instruction Survey (CCIS). Qualitative data includedvideotaped classroom observations, individual teacher interviews after each design task, andteacher focus groups and written reflections during the summer and

Our work advances prior research byinterviewing both persisters and switchers in EE CpE, and ME to better understand the nuancedand complex nature of retention and attrition among these students.Project GoalsThe objective of this project is to identify policies and practices that lead to increased persistenceand graduation as well as attrition for Black students in EE, CpE and ME and to make actionablerecommendations for policy makers regarding best practices. Our approach combines thequantitative power of large sample sizes available from the Multi-Institution Database forInvestigating Engineering Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD) and the qualitative richnessof 100 in-depth interviews and detailed content analysis of

The graduate students had the opportunity tolearn about research activities through online workshops and then immediately implement theseideas. First, the graduate students practiced interviewing and using the protocol by practicingwith another graduate student. Next they transcribed and analyzed the interview with theirpioneer, and finally, the graduate students authored a profile about their pioneer.

practice, a skill set that is essential forstudents pursuing faculty careers, may also be a useful metric for graduate training more broadly.In the initial design of the course, we chose to move away from traditional assignments andassessments (such as quizzes and tests) to maximize the accessibility of the course. Given thatour course participants are graduate students with research responsibilities, reducing the timeburden for this course was a top priority. Still, we believe that utilizing a limited number ofungraded assessments will increase opportunities for active recall and spaced repetition without asignificant increase in participant time burden.For (3), one of the driving motivators in the inception of the course was creating

The goal is to accelerate the students’ progress toward achieving advanced degrees.Our project is in synergy with this effort and will positively impact the engineeringundergraduate program. Each proposed new course will be an elective offered for bothundergraduate and graduate students; once enrolled, undergraduate students can learn from andwork with graduate students in the same course, allowing them to experience graduate study.These courses will also provide undergraduate students with opportunities to participate inadvanced research and create a pathway to graduate study. All of the courses developed will beopen to the entire college. The new

Research Experience in a bioengineering laboratory at a major researchuniversity can enhance the knowledge of a high school pre-engineering or science teacher,making it possible to more effectively convey the nature of the scientific process inbioengineering to his or her students. In combination with guided instruction in Common CoreState Standards and Next Generation Science Standards-aligned curricula design, the laboratoryresearch is more effectively translated and applied in high school science classrooms. TheBioengineering Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is ideally positioned toimplement such a combined experience for local high school teachers, which in turn will have adramatic impact on one of the most diverse
