Under graduate researches should turntheir style from traditional to practice based nontraditional applications. New EngineeringResearch Centers should be made and industries should buy in such efforts.

practice.Background on the ETS-IMPRESS ProgramThe ETS-IMPRESS Program has three major goals to achieve over a five year period. Goal 1:Expand the number and diversity of academically talented and financially disadvantagedindividuals entering the Engineering Technology STEM pipeline; recruit and retain theseindividuals in STEM programs. Goal 2: Add to the body of knowledge regarding best practicesin engineering technology education and promote the employment of engineering technologygraduates. And Goal 3: Contribute to research on self-efficacy and best practices. A first-yearprogress report was previously presented at ASEE [1]. Currently, the project is in the third yearhaving successfully graduated one student who is employed in a STEM field of study

Therefore, understanding the common issues inonline education and extended issues related to remote learning was the first step taken toprepare for the workshop transition.

This study clarifies how engineering education, grounded in ourexperience in two refugees camp, can foster self-reliance in displacement by empoweringdisplaced students. Thus, this paper investigates both engineering education and social justice indisplacement and looks for places where the fields contribute to each other. In doing so, weinvestigate the following research question: How does localized engineering in displacement(LED) empower tertiary learners in displacement to become socially engaged?Research background Education is considered a critical element

called for broad reform in K-12 STEM education, and ASEE clearlyhas an opportunity to be a national leader in K-12 reform, since it impacts engineering educationat the college level.

Indeed, ASEE has already begun to try and impact K-12 througha number of initiatives including the all day seminar initiated at the past three nationalconferences.

male graduates majored in science fields, with only 20% of males graduating from STEMcolleges [2]. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has investigated factors thatcontribute to reversed gender stereotyping in Kuwait. Therefore, the primary goal of this studywas to identify factors that influence male and female performances and preferences in STEMeducation. This study employed sequential exploratory methodology to identify contributingelements. Interview results of a small sample of participants were used to build measurementtools for a broader population. This paper is in the QUAL stage, the first step of the sequentialexploratory methodology. A STEM model framework was created to detect the connectionbetween STEM model
Early Career Engineers’ Views of Ethics and Social Responsibility: Project OverviewIntroductionDespite recommendations from leading stakeholders for increased attention to ethics inengineering education [1, 2], a growing body of anecdotal and empirical evidence suggests acontinuing lack of serious attention to ethics, social responsibility, and related topics in mostengineering degree programs [3-5]. To address this, organizations like the National Academy ofEngineering have taken steps to identify best practices and exemplary programs as “a resourcefor those who seek to improve the ethical development of engineers at their own institutions” [6].Recent research in engineering ethics has also aimed to measure

The scholarship was conducted by asking the question “Why don’tyou like me?”“Why don’t you like me?” as a research question, is not about the author(s) individually, butabout each of us as individuals.

Many described feeling somewhat unprepared for a variety ofethical situations on the job. Most advocated for greater engineering ethics education, primarilythrough integration into existing engineering courses. Limitations in the work include a fairlysmall sample. The results provide insights into how educational practices are influential in termsof the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of working engineers with respect to ethics andbroader impacts.BackgroundThere are numerous incidents of unethical practices in engineering [1,2,3] and times whennegative impacts to communities and individuals have

The inductive teaching approach is one of the effective student-centered pedagogies thathelps reveal students’ misconceptions and enables instructors to facilitate the misconceptions’repair and promote acquisition of new relevant knowledge [19], [20]. Prior research providesstrong empirical support for the positive impact of the inductive teaching methodology on studentlearning outcomes in the core technical skills [21] - [25]. However, there is a very limited evidenceof their role in forming student professional competencies [26
