discuss what can be done in an electronics course to possibly retain students in ECEprograms.Microprocessors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and microcontrollers are all essentialcomponents in electronic systems. The electronics course offers two levels of design experiencesto students: 1) circuits and electronics and 2) PCB designs for manufacturability. These twoexperiences incorporate microcontroller and environmental sensor interfaces, in addition toBluetooth connectivity and motor driver integration. As a result, this allows students to use thecircuit interfaces on their PCB to build complex systems for smart home, automation, mobile,and industrial applications.Herein, we detail the incorporation of PCB development in the

As Moustakas (1994) outlined, the four-stageprocess of phenomenological data analysis was employed to examine the interview data: epoché,horizontalization, imaginative variation, and synthesis.The first phase, epoché, occurred throughout the study as the researchers bracketed theirindividual and collective beliefs, values, assumptions, and experiences of mentoring in academia.This phase is integral to researchers taking an open and honest look at themselves to account forand mitigate potential researcher bias and data misunderstandings that could interfere with thedata collection and analysis processes

While there are more than 20 hours of training inthe full curriculum, our goal was to have the new facilitators experience a selection of corecontent. This included 2 hours and 45 minutes from the Communications modules; 1 hour and 15minutes from the Teamwork section; and 2 hours from the Leadership training materials. Thisengagement with the curriculum was integrated with discussions about program logistics andopportunities to learn and practice facilitation skills, as described in the following sections.TTT Program Content: LogisticsTable 1 summarizes the activities and topics that were covered during the TTT program

drove the integration of ethics in the curriculum and signaled its importance inengineering. On the other hand, accreditation was perceived to reduce ethics education to amatter of compliance, create an outsize pressure on those tasked with teaching ethics, andimpinge academic freedom. The findings pointed to the varying and sometimes conflictingperspectives on accreditation. An understanding of how accreditation can either spur or stifleeducators’ engagement in ethics instruction has implications for faculty motivation. The findingsalso highlight the need to think beyond accreditation in justifying and supporting the inclusion ofethics and societal impacts in engineering education.Introduction and BackgroundAccreditation is an oft-cited reason

administrators, curriculum developers, andother educational staff play in the integration of ICT within curricula has an impact on thesuccess of integration. PDs targeted at administrative staff, namely assistant principles, canlead to more successful integrations of ICT [9] within a specific academic community.2.1.2 CS Subject IntegrationMore specific study on the integration of computer science topics and computational thinkinghave recently been explored. Beginning computing education before even using computers,the integration of "Unplugged" activities, offers a way for topics to be distilled to their coreconcepts and presented in simplistic ways that make topics as complex as cybersecurity ac-cessible to students as young as elementary school [10

As a research team, itis our intent to continue analysis of video data to examine the mathematics and science ideas andconcepts communicated through representations and translations between representation betweencaregivers and children while engaged in engineering tasks. We contend that additional analyseswill contribute to the transferability of the results to contexts that engage families with youngchildren in an engineering task; contexts that are void of adults outside the family such campcounselors, museum educators, or engineers [39]. Lastly, future research should consider themathematics and science concepts that are being communicated

The aim was toextract the impact that these ‘making’ assignments have on developing students’ EM.MethodsTeaching methodsHere we provide a brief description of the course used for the 3Cs assessment. The course,known as Mechatronics, is a required component of our Mechanical Engineering curriculum.The course content inherently requires students to make connections and integrate knowledgeacross the realms of mechanical, electrical, and computer science disciplines.
