community college teams and the university teams quite awhile to speak the same language. • Collaborations can result in improved advising structures for engineering transfer at both sending and receiving institutions. • Holding events such as college-specific articulation conferences with community college partners can facilitate critical conversations between institutions related to how courses translate (or not) across institutional contexts. • Four-year institutions should consider the extent to which their curriculum is unnecessarily complex. Curriculum adjustments within four-year institutions should keep transfer students in mind. • Universities need to consider how transfer students can get

burdensome and time-consuming task forundergraduates [12-15].The difficulty of writing becomes more obvious to engineering undergraduates in engineeringlab courses. According to the survey results from StClair et al. [16], many engineeringundergraduates felt that the writing skills they had learned in prior courses were helpful limitedlywhen writing lab reports. They declared that the aspects of laboratory reports are unique fromother types of writing in college. A focus group study [17] indicated similarities and differencesbetween writing assignments in first-year composition and engineering laboratory courses. Thesimilarities include writing for an audience with a purpose in mind, employing rhetoricalappeals, and using evidence as support, while
approach of Experiential Learning (EL), Entrepreneurial Mindset(EM), and real-world application using the entrepreneurially minded curriculum, for engineeringand technology courses.The purpose of this study is to highlight findings and lessons learned because of integrating anentrepreneurially minded interdisciplinary project (including bio-inspired design and STEAM)into the engineering technology classroom. Specifically, curriculum changes were implementedinto a course on programming industrial robots (as part of the minor in robotics). This course isdesigned for teaching technology students how to install, maintain, and work with industrialrobots through real-world applications. This course also assists students in discovering thecapability of
engineering students for navigating the demands and nuances of the workplace whilebeing mindful of their users’ needs, it is necessary to train them to consider the design problemthrough both technical and human-centered perspectives.The Siebel Center for Design offers multiple undergraduate-level courses that expose students toelements of HCD and its iterative design process [5]. However, our team’s scope goes beyondmaking HCD accessible to students already in college. It is equally important to consider ways inwhich the world of STEM can be made accessible to high school students who are navigating thepost-high school planning process. As educators, it is our duty to expand students’ horizons andhelp them discover different educational

For example, a parent asserted, “It is logicalthinking” (P2). This parent further suggested, “You have to start from the beginning with an endin mind. It requires step-by-step thinking” (P2). Another parent claimed, “It is like solvingcomplex problems” (P3), connecting it to the exhibit activities where they had to figure out themost effective way to deliver medicine to the animals.

In this pilotstudy, we (1) delivered a four-day curriculum that focuses on representing engineers from a broad rangeof identities in course materials and (2) piloted an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvedquantitative survey of subject related identities and demographic data. The goal of this pilot was toevaluate our experimental methods for ease and clarity of implementation.Implementation The goal of this study is to broaden students’ definitions of who can do robotics. To thatend, we revised our introductory curriculum, being mindful of the individuals in the field that wehighlight by giving examples of women and

contribute to a sense of STEM identity, andthereby retention, in URMs [39], [52]. In addition to providing opportunities to socialize withother like-minded students, this would provide students with the opportunity to receivementorship from faculty members, which is tied to higher engineering persistence [32]. Asindicated in Figure 2, all participants expressed interest in interdisciplinary research.Similarly, we suggest that universities join forces with industry partners to offer and effectivelymarket interdisciplinary internships, especially towards URMs. Internships have been shown toincrease retention and graduation rates for engineering students [53], particularly URMs [54],making them a promising setting for interdisciplinary collaborations
such as mechanical andcivil engineering [1]. The tools of the engineer in students’ minds are often closer to a hammer ora wrench rather than a test tube or beaker, and thus their conception of engineering is oftenlimited at best [1]. This can get further complicated by the lack of interdisciplinarity exemplifiedin the engineering classroom. When engineering instruction is scaled at the university level, thereis the potential to lose interdisciplinarity as well as too much emphasis on limited topics relevantto the field of engineering [2]. When this happens, the curriculum may revert to limiting thecurriculum to the most popular images of engineering, fields such as mechanical, civil, andcomputer engineering [1].The goal of this work is to

This theme is important to note because the inclusion of astakeholder or customer is the key element that differentiates entrepreneurially minded learningfrom project-based learning [3] and customer awareness is an important attribute of anentrepreneurially minded engineer [14]. The excerpts below show examples of how studentsrecognized the importance of focusing on the customer when designing solutions: “Specifically, I learned to identify the three clients: the decision-maker, the payer, and the end- user. I then learned how to formulate a problem statement that addresses client needs. Most of my previous experience was focused on technical skills, so learning to design for a client
