scientificdiscovery and, according to the Girl Scouts of America website, “help them see how they canactually improve the world.”Introduction/BackgroundNowadays, more and more scientists, engineers and innovators are needed to contribute andsucceed in the global competitive economic environment. As a result, this requires qualityscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. However, insufficientnumbers of American students pursue education and training in the STEM fields. After noticingthis challenge, STEM has become a great effort by many to increase STEM-related activities,which have the potential to promote collaborative learning and inquiry as well as to contribute tothe development of the 21st century skills [1].

Engineering and Language Attitudes in the U.S. A QuandaryGlobalization and the international projection of engineering In the last 30 years, the literature on engineering education has been paying increasingattention to the changes that the field has experienced due to the advancement of globalization.The goal of this concerted effort is to determine and validate the set of skills the job marketdemands from the engineer in the 21st century. There is consensus among researchers that in the context of globalization the U.S.engineering programs either adapt their curricula to meet the expectations of the globalworkforce or take the risk of becoming irrelevant [1]. Irrelevance refers to the currentcurriculum

Although the competition was successful, it had limitedappeal among the student population and could not be recreated in libraries lacking a noiseproblem. After the competition concluded, we (the librarians) conducted a focus group with thestudent contestants and learned which elements of the competition worked well and whichneeded to be revised. In this paper, we present a newly inspired library competition: HackDibner. In designing Hack Dibner we had four specific goals in mind.

Each of these floating vehicles is outfitted with flappabletail for propulsion and a pitch control device consisting of a weight that a second small DC motormoves along a track to control pitch.

Further, itreports on students’ learning experiences.IntroductionA virtual environment can provide students and faculty with more flexibility in meeting time,location, content delivery, and type of interaction. Traditional office hours are historically notwell attended [1]. Additionally, an instructor’s office can only hold up to three students. Virtualoffice hours have no limit on attendance and can also provide a low-stakes platform fordiscussions, allowing students to better articulate their thought process.

It also has the largest percentage of low-income (48%) and first-generation(38%) students of any of the universities in the state. These factors affect the overall graduationrate, which is low at 33% (nationally standardized IPEDS rate for completions within 150% oftime; UVU IR 2019) [1]. UVU’s students live at home or in off-campus housing, which makes itvery difficult to organize activities for student programs.

benefits of blendingentrepreneurial skills and tendencies with engineering are great. It has even been postulated thatengineers with an entrepreneurial inclination are the core drivers of economic growth in nations[1]. Many programs, both publicly and privately funded, have focused on entrepreneurship or theentrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering education. The National Science Foundation’s I-Corps program is one example on the public side, and the Kern Family Foundation’s KEENprogram (Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network) is an example on the private side.KEEN is a growing network of over 35 U.S.-based academic institutions with the shared missionof integrating the EM in their undergraduate engineering programs [2].

Engineering entails specificpropositional and procedural knowledge, which Cunningham & Kelly [3] argue are coreengineering practices that youth must understand as a part of authentic, inclusive, and equitableengineering learning experiences. Providing youth opportunities for engineering during theregular school day, however, can be challenging due to time and other curricular constraints. Due to these constraints, out-of-school time (OST) programs have been identified

A faculty advisor, who is required for studentorganizations in most universities, serves as the liaison between the SWE section and theuniversity and is responsible for knowing the university’s policies. A faculty advisor helps thestudent section access university resources and ensures the section is meeting all universityrequirements. A counselor is required by SWE for a collegiate section to remain in “goodstanding” and serves as the liaison between the SWE section and other SWE professionalmembers and the industry [1].

. Educators may wish to examine whether a human rights lens isrelevant to their teaching.IntroductionThis paper will illustrate how the United Nations’1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights(UDHR) [1] can be used to frame ethics discussions in engineering. Engineering ethics in theU.S. are not typically taught or framed through the lens of human rights. A few notableexceptions include calls from Lynch [2] and Hoole [3] near the end of the United Nations’Decade on Human Rights Education (1995-2004). A human rights framework may be useful andbring engineering more in line with traditions in other professions. The paper first discussesprofessional ethics through a human rights lens, briefly comparing and contrasting differentprofessions. Next the

The notable absence of low-SES students majoring in engineeringdisciplines has resulted in a profession that lacks the representation and diversity of the actualUS population and significantly impacts the career potential of low-SES students in theengineering fields [1]. Engineering faculty frequently recognize the problem, but often lackthe formal training in instructional best practices necessary to help underrepresented studentsto persist and succeed in their courses. Instead faculty often revert to teaching the way theywere taught, employing the long-venerated
