design from the start. The fifth principle is to ensure allscience and mathematics concepts, and technology tools employed are necessary forstudents’ successful completion of the STEM-design projects. With these principles inmind, the next step is to examine classroom enactments of the curriculum, focusing onthe extent to which students apply mathematics and science concepts to their designwork and the challenges and affordances for doing so (Berland, 2013).Effective Instructional Methodologies Contemporary engineering education should emphasize the design process,challenge-based learning, and other engineering habits of mind (Berland, Martin, Ko, etal., 2013). The results of Berland, Martin, Ko, et al.’s (2013) study revealed that as

As such, it isimportant that undergraduate engineering programs prepare students to work with others in anonline setting since the prevalence of virtual teams within the workforce continues to grow.Additionally, it has been found that online teamwork can help students work out of their comfortzone, develop group cohesiveness, and better students’ negotiation skills [7]. However, there arealso various obstacles and challenges students face when working on projects virtually. Wyrickand Cisse found that trust may be more difficult to establish through virtual teams asrelationships are not as easily built via

Making these opportunities in a single locationwidely accessible to an academically diverse campus is crucial to the development of engineers.Thus, the arrival of academic makerspaces on college campuses indicates an importantadvancement in the field of engineering design education [2].

Engineering Graphic and Multi-Media Design Cal Poly State University SLO SUNY CantonAbstractEngineering and art were not always completely separate disciplines. Take Leonardo da Vinci(born 1452) for example, who was equally as great an artist as an engineer. In recent years, therehas been a resurgence in efforts to bring these disciplines more closely together by adding thearts back into STEM education – or moving from STEM (science, technology, engineering andmath) to STEAM (science, technology, arts, engineering, and math). Engineering may give youthe skills to design and build, but the arts will give you the ability to design and build for thehuman condition.This paper describes an

Partnerships between HBCUs and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) haveemerged as a way to increase the number of Black students in engineering through Dual DegreeEngineering Programs (DDEP), often classified as 3-2 programs. Students in these programsattend an HBCU to complete all pre-engineering courses (typically three years) and spend theirfinal undergraduate years (typically two) at a PWI. At the end of the program, students wouldhave earned two bachelor’s degrees, one from the HBCU in a science, technology, engineering,or mathematics (STEM) field and the other from the PWI in an engineering discipline. Whilethere are many advantages to institutional collaborations, HBCU students must

Development: A Case Study of Ego-Centric Network Analysis of RelationshipsIntroduction Unfortunately, it is not unexpected that young individuals who belong tounderrepresented and marginalized communities have limited access to a diverse network ofresources that support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education,especially in areas like coding, innovative engineering, and project-based activities that areemerging. Studies on informal education outside of schools [1]–[3] have acknowledged thatthese learning environments can foster involvement in STEM, and their continuous programsacross various settings, such as home, libraries, youth clubs, and museums, can be essential ininitiating and
