Moreover, their writing andoral communication skills are assessed through weekly project updates and final presentations.Weekly reading quizzes are also developed from the biography of Steve Jobs (by WalterIsaacson), The Secret of Apollo (by Stephen B. Johnson), and Inviting Disaster: Learning fromthe edge of technology (by James R Chiles). The Biography of Steve Jobs provides a greatexample of the importance of collaboration in innovation and entrepreneurship. Students whojoin the program read this book during their first year in the program. Those students who areable and permitted to do a second year in the program read and take quizzes from Johnson’sbook

These results along with thegraduate mentor’s numerical analysis have been documented as a peer-reviewed conferenceproceeding [1] and eventually as an archival journal publication [2]. Students also finalized thedesign of an actuator and manufactured a functional prototype (Figure 2 (b) and (c)) along withperforming psychophysical tests to understand human perception to the vibration and its changes(Figure 2(d)). The human perception study provided useful information to determine theessential aspects of force and vibration that needed to be

This workshop introduced students to the concept of web scraping and writing python scripts to automate this collection method. • High Performance Computing Workshop: A mechanical engineering professor at WTAMU hosted a workshop about high performance computing and the utility it has in a variety of disciplines. The students who participated had the opportunity to actually SSH into the WTAMU HPC cluster and run various distributed systems scripts. Tentative 2- Day Hackathon schedule can be found in Figure 1.

In a recent study [17], a learningcommunity was built along with a summer immersion program, a peer mentoring program, and afirst-year experience course. The summer immersion program linked science and social justiceissues with hands-on activities and built a sense of belonging. The results showed increasedsuccess in the first year and those that participated were more likely to graduate. The study notedthat this type of community may not be appropriate for commuter populations if studentintegration cannot be balanced with maintaining connections to their home communities.Overall

The Subject uses external (LMS, computer devices) and internal (plans, strategies)tools to complete an Object (milestone) thereby achieving a desired Outcome. The tools, alsoknown as Mediating Artifacts, are imbued with cultural, historical, and social significance.Mediating Artifacts influence the behavior of the Subject using them, and in turn, the largersocial environment the Subject inhabits.

Feuerstein defines the role of the mediator (or agent) asfundamental to promoting cognitive changes in a student. A teacher, a parent, or anadvantaged peer can fulfill this role, depending on the objective of transformation. Themediator must have maturity, experience, and the ability to organize, reorder, group, andstructure the stimuli or information the student receives based on a specific task or goal [26].This means that the agent mediates between the world and the student (subject), transformingthe stimuli the student

A large number of students were batch enrolled into the course in summer 2022, butthen subsequently withdrew early. The students who dropped had lower math confidence, lowerself perceptions of science and math ability compared to their peers, and lower STEM identity,compared to students who remained in the course.

InquiryThroughout the larger effort described above, our team of five became acutely aware of thechallenges we faced as individuals and a collective in attempting to utilize design thinking in amore traditional engineering course design context. Certainly there were successes, inspiringmoments, and personal growth. There were also moments of doubt, conflict, and even despair aswe considered our experiences and the potential to expand those experiences to our peers. Thuswe decided to investigate the tensions we were experiencing in bringing design thinking to ourdistinct course design context.We utilized a collaborative inquiry [15] approach to investigate the tensions we experienced andhow they informed our application of design thinking in engineering
