/ anthropological researcher focused on equity in engineering, but a combination of showing up in a PhD and taking teaching roles, observing educational culture, and reading what the literature said and didn’t say about these topics, cemented this focus for me. I’d say stay open to those types of surprises in the first year or so of the PhD and you’ll make sure you can align your research areas with passion areas that connect to important topics for the field.9“Don’t compare yourself to colleagues / See your colleagues as allies not enemies.” This one is hard for me, I think I suffer from a tendency to compare myself, for a sense of peace of mind that I am doing ok (but “ok” tends to mean better than others).

environment; however, students vary in their approaches and ability to acquiremetacognition [2],[5]. It is well established in the literature that metacognitive awareness ispositively correlated to favorable course outcomes [6]-[9]. Further, introducing students tometacognition and related concepts has also been shown to lead to improved learning outcomes[10]-[15]. Importantly, benefits have been observed with minimal interventions consisting ofsimply introducing concepts of metacognition to students [16].With the above in mind, a series of online resources was developed and deployed within a corefirst-year engineering course at the University of British Columbia, a large Canadian research-intensive university. The intent was to aid students in their

is why software simulations are so important notonly for the simulator but for engineering in general. Finding concrete evidence of a successfuldesign saves lives and saves money. Pinpointing weak points and fixing the issues before thefabrication of the final product are very important. For the simulator, our group started with apartially completed simulator which is why any changes to the design were so difficult. Thisforced our group to think outside the box and put all our minds and engineering skills to the test. Student #5: Although, not exactly the way full size flight motion simulators are made, ourprototype provides a very good educational base.

Engineering Education, 2020 Engagement in Practice: The SMU Maker Education ProjectIntroductionFor nearly two decades, collections of like-minded individuals have united to createmakerspaces in their communities. Community makerspaces serve as places where people cancongregate, access high-tech tools and materials, share design knowledge, and make unique andpersonally-relevant items [1]. This phenomenon, known as the maker movement, has spread toinstitutions such as universities, libraries, and museums [2], [3]. A number of these institutionshave created makerspaces and launched maker programming with the goal of fostering the skillsand mindsets commonly exhibited by the people participating in the maker movement [4].More recently, K-12

PerspectiveThe faculty member had straight-forward goals, centered around the student learning skills andconcepts, both soft and technical, that are seldom fully developed in a typical engineering course.The overall goal, in the mind of the faculty member, was not to entirely recreate an existingsecurity design but rather to give foundational understanding to the student and allow the studentto grow as an engineer. The student grew in their understanding of cybersecurity, digital hardwareengineering, research methods, and more. As such, the project was a success. As with manyprojects, time and resources were limited, but despite that, the results, from the supervisor’s view,were positive.5 Recommendations from the Student5.1 Recommendations for
