The program was held from July 27th to August 5th, 2020, stimulatingSTEM ideation before heading back into the school year. The program activities were completedall together at home, supported using virtual meeting platforms [1].

The data demonstrates that faculty are interested in developingimplicitly inclusive classrooms but fear that their lack of expertise on these topics will lead tofailure and having a negative impact on students. However, students voiced strong support andinterest in having faculty discuss and teach about inclusivity and ethics in their engineeringclassrooms. To create implicitly inclusive environments, faculty are encouraged to acknowledgeand discuss such topics in their classes and

of studies have shown the link between what a parent perceives as important and whattheir child values [1]. This connection between a parent and their child has the potential topositively influence their career path. Specifically, mothers are shown to play an especially largerole in their child’s interest in a STEM career [2]. Due to this connection, parents’ perception ofSTEM could be a valuable tool in encouraging students to consider pursuing STEM, regardlessof the parent’s occupation. The demand for STEM workers is growing and understanding whatparents’ opinions of STEM are could provide a resource to fill those needed roles [3].In this study, we focus on how parents, who send their children to a STEM summer camp viewSTEM.

Due to no-slip boundary condition, the velocity of thefluid that is adjacent to the surface of the body is zero. The velocity of the fluid eventuallyreaches the free stream velocity as the vertical distance increases (Fig. 1). The vertical distancefrom the surface to the point where the local velocity is 99% of the free stream velocity isdefined as the boundary layer thickness [4].

Overall, 104 faculty completed this survey. Based on the number of COE faculty inSpring, 287, this equates to a confidence level of 95% with a margin of error of 8%. Because ofthis low margin of error, we can be fairly confident that this survey is representative of thefaculty teaching in the College in Spring 2020.

An Introduction to Self-EfficacySelf-efficacy is one’s belief about their own ability to successfully achieve a particular goal orskill. The framework was first introduced by Bandura in 1977 [1]. A person’s self-efficacy isimportant because it affects their attitude and behavior. Those with high self-assurance have astrong belief in their abilities. When encountering an obstacle, they will see it as a challenge tobe conquered and will continue to persist in overcoming the problem. They set challenging goalsfor themselves and will put forth increased effort to achieve them. They are able to recover theirsense of efficacy quickly after setbacks and failures [2

tolearning or not. Indeed, the importance and the amount of homework that students should beassigned have been debated for more than 100 years [1].Whether assigning, collecting, and grading homework enhances learning or not remainscontroversial to this day. Results of many studies disagree [2] - [13], [14] - [16]. It is argued inthe literature that these disagreements arise because the methodologies used are very, verydisparate; that students cannot be treated as objects that are identical; that, indeed, theirindividual characteristics, beliefs, motivations, psychological predispositions to learning varywidely; and that the academic traditions and standards of the schools that students came fromvary a lot as well.

Such an approach to designing courses and curriculaencourages engineering educators to start by articulating and formulating desired studentlearning outcomes, and then to “engineer” (identify, specify, validate) the appropriate pedagogiesand learning activities to achieve student learning outcomes as well as the appropriateassessment strategies to evaluate the efficacy of those activities for meeting stated outcomes.Such an outcome-driven, backward design approach arguably serves as the dominant paradigmfor designing both courses and curricula in engineering education.In parallel with the formalized, explicit educational programming
