other engineering education institutions: at heart, the project aims to helpstudents better understand, and hence be better prepared for, their post-graduation futures. Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7]. [7] proposes more broadly that“curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where studentscan connect their use of

This could manifest itself through graduates notpossessing the necessary knowledge to support professional practice [13]. This could also createan increased likelihood of students exhibiting dishonest behaviors and practices in theprofessional workplace [8], [9], [13]. Cheating is habit forming; it becomes a way to cope withfeeling unable or unwilling to earn something one wants or needs, and there is no reason to thinksuch a habit would be

one is from shapes their experiences and cultural practices thatcreates and maintains knowledge [2]. When building a waʻa kaulua, there are many protocols ofoli (chants) and pule (prayers) to ask the land for permission to use its resources and to help keepthe voyagers safe on their journey [6]. For many NHPI students, this familial relationship basedin profound respect for the land becomes an important reason for their education [7]. Their hopeis to address the concerns of their homeland for the place that shaped them [5]. Much of thecurrent research on place-based education shows many benefits but actual implementation islacking in academics [7],[10]. With land being an integral component of NHPI identity, this lackof place-based knowledge
engineering design practices andthinking within earlier stages of learning [11]. The second is focused on the unique role thatcaregivers play in the learning and development of children. Caregivers' understanding of STEMconcepts, perceptions of their children’s STEM abilities, as well as their attitude and behaviortoward STEM in general, can all impact a child’s engagement and interest in STEM [12].Out-of-School (OST) STEM ActivityWhile a great deal of research has focused on school-based parental involvement in STEMlearning, other research suggests that parents are more involved in out-of-school time orhome-based STEM activities [1]. Due to the wide array of OST and free-choice activities that areavailable to children and their families, the
- certain components (e.g., organization, objectives, integration, activities & assessment, questions, and catch) of K-12 teacher created lessons plans varied dras- tically. In particular, lesson plan organization, integration, and questions each had a significant number of submissions which were evaluated as "struggling" [45%, 46%, 41%] through interesting integration, objectives, activities & assessment, and catch all saw submissions which were evaluated as "excellent" [43%, 48%, 43%, 48%]. The relation- ship between existing K-12 policies and expectations surfaces within these results and in combination with other findings leads to implications for the translation of current research practices
. HEAT aims to examine the impact of this combined mentoring model on theoutcome of its scholars. We report positive impacts of this model on student academicperformance as assessed by rates of retention and 4-year college matriculation in engineeringdisciplines: 90% of the scholars remain in the program, have graduated with an A.S. inEngineering, and/or working in engineering. Here, we examine the HEAT Scholars’ perceptionabout the program. HEAT Scholars have reported that the combined mentoring model is themost valuable aspect of the program. Altogether, HEAT serves as a model for improvingengineering / STEM education outcomes and enhancing socio-economic mobility amongunderserved communities for adoption by other community colleges and 4-year

The goal was identification of student cohorts that were gaining,losing, or remaining the same in confidence about major choice as they study

It is of greatimportance to all engineering disciplines, and yet as educators we are given little guidance onhow best to develop engineering judgement in our students. However, it is not always clearthat students have sufficiently developed their judgement by the time they graduate. As such,more work needs to be done in understanding both how engineering judgement can bedeveloped and the obstacles in place that often prevent

However, the societal and cultural dimension of the NOEK was exclusive to thehigh school grade band while both its empirical basis and the personal dimension were exclusiveto the middle grade band. For example, benchmark 1N identifies how high school learnersshould graduate high school with the societal and cultural understanding about the NOEK that Technological developments are best achieved through experiences and interactions within a given context.

Next, the student population in our study lives in a rurallocale and while it is unknown if they have direct family ties to agricultural lands, their responsessuggested some prior knowledge of ranching and land management practices.
