By theend of the program, our goal was for students to:(1) develop positive attitudes towards and self-efficacy with machine learning tools(2) gain an intuitive understanding of the processes involved in supervised machine learning(3) learn how robots sense and react to the worldWith inquiry learning in mind, we decided to design lessons that first taught students aboutmachine learning through exploration and inquiry into pre-trained models and then asked them tobuild physical systems with these pre-trained models before finally

introduced faculty to the framework of entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) centered on curiosity,connections, and creating value. The workshops promoted evidence-based pedagogical best practices andparticipants experienced different active learning techniques that can be applied to instill the entrepreneurialmindset in students at their home institution. Following the workshops, faculty were provided with ongoingcoaching and support comprised of two individual coaching sessions and two small-group Community of Practicecoaching sessions. Coaching sessions included in this study were led by a four-member, intercollegiate coachingteam comprised of experts in engineering education, EML classroom integration, and instructional effectiveness.This WIP

. Because faculty were mindful that the programs and tools they shared with students couldbecome rapidly out-of-date due to the quick pace of technological change in engineering, facultywanted to give students the tools to learn for themselves. As one faculty said: “I tried to…givethem a good unique learning experience that they can leverage, at least for the next three to fiveyears of their careers.” Ideally, students’ ability to learn independently would createopportunities for them to form their own learning experiences beyond that time frame. We seethe primary difference between the final two conceptions as student motivation for learningversus the tools to learn on their own, even when they had left the classroom.WHAT MAKES “GOOD” ENGINEERING
total numbers given the fact that bothwomen and members of other under-represented groups are often visible minorities in science,technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) fields. Social dynamics are shaped byproportional representation and when that proportion is highly skewed it can produce thephenomenon referred to as tokenism1. According to Kanter’s classic study, small relativenumbers heighten visibility and bring attention to discrepant characteristics or ways thatmembers of a population deviate from the norm. The effects of tokenism are most pronouncedwhen the proportion and number of women is so small that the opportunities to participate in acommunity of like-minded individuals are limited. Attention to secondary characteristics
growth, and long-term strategies to maintain and increase living standards, and promote opportunity will require coordinated efforts among public, private, and not-for-profit entities to promote innovation and to prepare an adequate supply of qualified workers for employment in STEM fields.

one. It is frustrating for all concerned to commit to a long term project (2 or more quarters)and then determine that, for no one's particular fault, the project "dead ended" prematurely or becameundesirably redirected. It must be kept in mind that the overall objective is to maximize studentdesign experience and that is usually accomplished by the completion of more, rather than fewerprojects.* Is there a reasonable expectation of the project's successful completion? Clearly some designprojects will require a degree of expertise that is beyond that of the typical engineering senior. It isthe responsibility of the instructor to select topics that are matched to the students' professional level.* Is the proposed project really a

Since women outnumber men by 2 to 1 in the overall study abroad profile of Americanstudents, we expect that providing a realistic study abroad option will enhance the attractivenessof the engineering field to women.Figure 3, is a plot of the number of U.S. students who have studied abroad through Global E3 bytheir discipline. The largest numbers of participants by field are concentrated in Mec hanicalEngineering and the second largest in Electrical Engineering. One must keep in mind that theseare typically the two largest departments in terms of number of faculty as well as numbers ofstudents in schools of engineering in the United States, so this distribution is not entirelyunexpected.

].These rebellious engineers have a lot to learn from each other but first they need to understandhow they are positioned with respect to one another. A thorough mapping of their practices couldengage a broad audience of like-minded engineers that may have only bifurcated because of theirdisciplinary and institutional positionality. Engineers’ good intentions and their “desire to help”have created robust educational programs, yet scholars question engineering for globaldevelopment’s ability to actually improve the human condition [13, 28]. Post-developmentliterature claims that these humanitarians could be doing more harm than good throughneocolonialism power relations [29, 30].

Two of Booth Sweeny and Sterman tasks were used: a department store task and theCO2 zero emissions task. With this in mind, an investigation began with one researchquestion: Are we teaching our students to think systematically? The tasks were given to Industrial Engineering students. After they were taken, thedata was filtered by type of high school, English proficiency, age and semester of study. More basic but necessary quantitative and analytical skills such as the ability to read agraphic, interpret the data, and tell a story from the graph underlie the above listed skillsand prevent the ability of a person to
