-institutionalqualitative and longitudinal studies of minorities in engineering education. Our study isinvestigating the following overarching research questions: 1. Why do Black men and women choose and persist in, or leave, EE, CpE, and ME? 2. What are the academic trajectories of Black men and women in EE, CpE, and ME? 3. In what ways do these pathways vary by gender or institution? 4. What institutional policies and practices promote greater retention of Black engineering students?Major Activities for Year 2During Year 2 (March 2019 – February 2020), the project team has collaborated to accomplishthe research goals.Project Team MeetingsOur research team has been on a regular basis via telephone conference to plan, coordinate, anddiscuss
with the 4-input feature option.5. Implementation in classroomThe proposed artificial intelligence (AI) model can be used in various classroom and laboratorysettings with machine learning software packages for general engineering studies thanks mainlyto its versatility in modeling the procedures of forecasting any future events based on big data. Itwould be particularly beneficial to a student who attempts to learn how to predict future weatherevents for planning purposes in the AI approach. In a traditional approach, Ordinary LeastSquare (OLS) regression is one of the methods generally used for the prediction. By using themachine learning approach proposed in this paper, a student will learn the state-of-art machinelearning approach and

The main market for thisprogram is China (both options) and India (only 1+1 option).The courses offered via the Live Platform contain the same content as the respective courses offeredin the residential program. The only difference is that the course material for the Live Platformhas been gone through an instructional design process to include planned interactions between in-structor and students. Some of the residential courses have started to use the same course materialsas for the

As a result, considerable time is consumed inassessment with no improvement in student learning, that is, no added value. In thisenvironment, faculty consider

They also struggle to increase the amount of knowledge their students learnwhile maintaining an academic plan of four years without increasing the amount of requiredsemester credit hours in order to graduate [1]. Digital logic design is a necessary topic forelectrical engineers and computer engineers and FPGA’s are an evolving technology with adiverse range of applications. By combining both these important topics into one course,students will be exposed to a great amount of important and useful information without the needto increase the number of credits required to earn their degree.There exists a fair amount of literature pertaining to the design of a digital logic courseincorporating field-programmable gate arrays

National Science Foundation Middle/High School Student Attitudes Towards STEM (S-STEM) Survey [8] was used to assess the overall impact of the outreach program on the femalestudents’ self-confidence and motivation in pursuing future cross-disciplinary STEM careers.The results showed that the 21st Century skills related to critical-thinking, communication, andcollaboration was the section with the most radical improvement.Keywords: kinematics of mechanisms, protein kinematics, biomechanics, biochemistry, DNAnano-mechanismsIDEAL Online Summer Outreach Program Curriculum Plan and MethodsDuring the summer of 2019, mechanical engineering faculty and two undergraduate studentsfrom both NSM and ECS colleges offered a two
positive trends in high school mathematics scores, females are lesslikely than males to declare engineering as their major in college [4]. In 2006, about 15% of first-year female college students planned to declare a major in all STEM fields combined; but ifbiological and agricultural sciences are removed, only about 5% of first-year female collegestudents intend to major in a STEM area of physical sciences, including engineering [3]. At thesame time, more than a quarter (25%) of first-year male college students declared a physicalscience major [3]. So, if it’s not ability, why do more males pursue physical science and engineering whilefemales do not? The reasons are complex and intricately tied to culture, but research indicatesone primary

A pilotexperiment is under way, and we will have partial results available during the conference.Our long-term goal is to show that selecting a professional role model and analyzing it from thestudents’ own perspective will increase student identification with the domain of study, theirmotivation and engagement and will contribute to
reasons behind thisstudy’s findings.Furthermore, given that research-informed teaching is known to be effective in improving thequality of teaching, it is important to include the findings of practical studies, like this research,in the sustainable construction course contents. The implications of these findings for sustainableconstruction education are significant. Incorporating the insights gained from this research intosustainable construction courses can enhance students' understanding of the practical challengesand opportunities associated with achieving LEED certification. For example, educators can usethe study's results to illustrate the importance of energy efficiency and sustainable sitedevelopment in project planning and design. By

Comprehension questions are better answered when the motivation behindthe research is understood. If a specific set of resources is provided to the professors to help in theirunderstanding of the research, they are in turn equipped for the execution of relaying instructions.Asking students to reflect about how their profession creates value allows them to explore importantaspects of the entrepreneurial mindset. For future studies we plan to revisit the concept mapping activityafter the students have been exposed to EM activities. Changes in the concept maps over time will help usunderstand the best

Students practiced the three attitudes using role play activities. Therewere no additional formal reinforcements though there may have been further discussions withinstructors during the course [6]. Specific intervention materials can be obtained fromEngineering Unleashed KEEN Card #3679. Freshman design students were surveyed at the endof their class, and we plan to survey them again as they progress through capstone design.In addition to this direct teaching of psychological safety, leadership and teamwork skilldevelopment are threads throughout our curriculum.

-Canada survey on engineering career paths and EDIIn partnership with Engineers Canada, Troost ILead conducted a survey with engineeringgraduates across Canada in late 2022. As part of our recruitment strategy, we invited allprovincial and territorial regulators of professional engineers to an informational session aboutour planned survey on engineering career paths. In particular, we reached out to each regulator’srepresentative on the ‘30 x 30’ campaign, which has a goal to increase the percentage of womenamong all newly licensed engineers to 30 per cent by the year 2030 [27]. As a result, eight of theregulatory bodies and one provincial engineering advocacy organization agreed to support ourparticipant recruitment efforts (e.g., Linking to our

All material has a failure point, so it is good to plan for how thematerial will fail and how that failure can affect the overall part. Honeycomb infill will collapseon itself, but will not fracture. This means the part can still hold the force applied to it. It seems that harder and stronger materials solidify faster when being 3D printed. Thiscan cause a rough surface finish. No matter what material is used, when 3D printing, surfaceroughness will be noticeable.

It will be interesting to see if reverse transferstudents enrolled in the same college but not involved in a programmatic approach would feelthe same way. These two populations should have the same demographics to eliminate thedifferences in demographics.To further our research, we will also conduct a comprehensive survey among reverse transferstudents in the college to understand their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. The aim is tofurther explore the identified themes across a larger demographic by advancing towards a largerquantitative investigation [18]. Our plan involves conducting consequential interviews
climate survey included the climate scale with 50 items for 9 constructs anddemographic items to capture the respondents’ complex social identities. During summer and fall2023, we collected our first pilot study data of 287 doctoral engineering students from 28institutions in the U.S. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with the data from 287 engineeringdoctoral students revealed the latent factor structure of the climate scale for eight constructsindicated by 39 items. Internal consistency was good. Based on the EFA results, we planned torevise the items and add new items for the second round of data collection for the second pilotstudy in Year 2. Results from studies using the finalized survey are expected to guide specific policies

Feedback on research mentors wasgenerally favorable, and despite some project complications, the overarching goals of the studentresearch cohort were realized. Addressable issues, such as suboptimal dining choices, emergedbut were considered manageable and amendable for future cohorts. The overarching aim ofproviding engineering exposure to non-engineering students from varied backgrounds wasunequivocally achieved, culminating in a valuable and enjoyable experience for all involved. 3.

Assessment of the program's impact on students'academic and career choices through follow-up surveys or interviews is vital, however, ensuringscalability and replicability across diverse educational settings requires refining the program'smaterials and implementation strategies. The team is planning to employ a more comprehensiveevaluation methods such as pre- and post-program assessments and
transfer KSAs from one module to another, as there are many issues leftunanswered. As mentioned above, having the students consciously transfer what they knowfrom prior modules could academically challenge them more than usual; Any intervention ofa similar nature might face the same problem. A student having an improved attitude totransfer could find it harder to transfer what they know, thus creating more barriers. Thebalance between these two elements is a topic that is without a doubt important and needs tobe explored further. Ultimately, this intervention makes for a good starting point to increasethe transfer of learning behaviours in engineering students.Future Directions (Work-in-Progress)Moving forward, this research plans to conduct
