Singapore: International Outlook Engineering plays a significant role in the Singaporean economy. According to agovernmental report, as of 2020, manufacturing is the largest industry in Singapore, contributingto 21.5% of Singapore’s GDP. In January 2021, the Ministry for Trade and Industry (MTI)announced a 10-year plan to grow Singapore’s manufacturing sector by 50%. The majority of theinvestment aims to be allocated to engineering fields. In 2020 alone, the Economic DevelopmentBoard (EDB) attracted 13.1 billion SGD of investments into the manufacturing sector, includingcommitments of 6.5 billion SGD

students recognizethe importance of the topic or course to their overall career preparation.When proposing a curricular change to incorporate more non-technical subjects into engineeringprograms, one issue that is often raised involves how this will impact ABET accreditation of theprogram. This has occurred in many settings, including discussions in TELPhE division sessionsat ASEE conferences. This paper describes how one mechanical engineering program revised itscurriculum and in the process both reduced the number of credits needed for graduation andopened up flexibility in the program that enables the addition of courses on non-technicalsubjects or on technological literacy. The approach taken demonstrates that a program can reviseits

A semester-long seminar course wasoffered to undergraduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley to expose students to ongoing research, while providing an opportunity tonetwork with researchers in the department. The course consisted of weekly research talks anddiscussions. Invited speakers presented a diverse array of research areas and their pathway toresearch. To assess the course’s impact, we surveyed students at the beginning and end of thesemester. Approximately half of the students in the course were 1st year students.

set of findings emerging frommotivation research that sought to better understand K-12 students’ choice and pursuit of STEMcareers [7], [8]. This body of work has indicated consistently that underrepresented children andyouth are less likely to develop STEM identities or pursue career pathways than non-minoritystudents, especially in the field of engineering [9], and the choices made by children, especiallyunderrepresented children, to pursue various STEM disciplines are strongly associated with theirperceptions of self-efficacy, competence, interest, social support, and the discipline’s costs andbenefits [10], [11], [12]. Yet, despite the recognition of this issue, limited research has beenconducted on young children’s motivation in

Since high school courses serve as prerequisites for any university or equivalent post-secondary education, this stage of their educational career becomes an essential opportunity forintervention, where interest can be spurred and nurtured [10], [11].

Ongoing issues include attrition,particularly during the first year of undergraduate studies [8], and sociocultural climate andnegative stereotypes, including implicit bias [7, 9].
