Questions of how to moveadditional types of engineering curricula online, how to support underrepresented students inSTEM, and how to provide an engaging learning experience in Ecampus curricula are popular butin-progress areas of engineering education research. The outcomes from our project can help tolay the groundwork for more broad and theoretical investigation into these important but complexpedagogical questions.References[1] Alhazbi, S., & Hasan, M.

cyberattacks on K-12 schools. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 2023report revealed a massive increase in cyber-attacks on K-12, from 400 to 1,300 incidents over thethree-year period (2018-2021), and the U.S. government projects that the threat level willincrease. Cybersecurity workers are in high demand in the private and public K-12 sectors,government, and industry because of the increased cyber threats. In the U.S., there are over600,000 job openings, according to Cyberseek and the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST). The shortage of workers provides job opportunities for individuals withAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism comes with serious challenges but several strengths,and given tasks that serve

since the Show is centered on conversation.Another benefit of the talk show format is the informality. Both the guest and the hosts are seatedduring the Show which projects an aura of intimate conversation among friends, although they areseated on counter-height chairs at the front of the room for visibility to the audience (Figure 1). Thetalk show format encourages the faculty (Show hosts), seminar speaker (Show guest), and audiencemembers to speak more frankly than they would typically do in a “lecture” setting. In order tofurther set the guest at ease, they are offered an opportunity before the Show to suggest questions tothe hosts that they would like to be asked and/or to provide background about themselves to informthe conversation.

Allfacilitators were required to participate, and the training gave them an opportunity to betterunderstand their own identity as well as the identities of their fellow facilitators. Finally,additional training in Fall 2022 included a collaboration with the Cornell Engineering LeadershipProgram which focused on the role facilitators play in sharing expertise and

The first section focuses on capturing information about students’ social networks, andthe second section collects data on students’ college experiences and individual characteristics.The second part of the survey, data from which was used in this study, captured threepsychological constructs
recruit younger females as well as spread the word about the club. The club activities are scheduled for 10 weeks where the facilitators meet with the school-age students for an hour and a half to teach them computing principles using GWC curriculum. They also guide students through the completion of a personal project. The club served an average of 37 students every year and had about six to seven female computer science/software engineering facilitator each offering. In Spring 2023, the club was run by nine female facilitators and served 36 female students. The student facilitators ranged from freshmen students to senior computing female students. This Spring, the club is facilitated by 11 female facilitators and attended by

forward the ABET Coordination Team is developing a process to export student outcomeresults from Canvas and import them into a web-based database and reporting interface. The initialplan was to import Canvas assessments into SearchLight. But since this tool is no longer supportedby the University, the team is exploring other options such as PowerBI and Tableau.Figure 9 in the appendix presents the pilot PowerBI dashboard summarizing Canvas student out-come results. The goal of this pilot project is to incorporate and improve upon some of the re-porting features found in SearchLight and to compile data from various sources into one database.Though there is increased flexibility by building out the reporting infrastructure, it requires moreskills

felt that “the new DEI laws makeobtaining equitable educational opportunities for ‘all’ more difficult,” thus resulting in a loss ofpower for some students. Another participant articulated this shift in more detail, observing thatthe laws “are unfair to students who were not born into privilege. Their effect will be to wideneconomic and educational differences in our society.”6. Mental Models One survey respondent described one of the impacts that recent laws had hadon their work as including the need to “be mindful” of new admissions criteria. Similarly, anotherparticipant described the need to consider more carefully how potential projects are framed. Thus,participants felt that there would need to be some change to mental models – and a
whatpredictor parameters are important and which ones do not affect the outcome. The initial workaims to identify key predictors for high-accuracy predictions using a reduced dataset available,as well as help identify and test more prediction factors used in the literature. Through futureiterations of our model, we aim to further improve prediction accuracy by incorporatingadditional predictor data and increasing the student pool available for such analyses. Earlyidentification of students at risk of changing or dropping from the program will enabletargeted intervention and improve their chances of success. These initial iterations will serveas benchmarks, with the ultimate validation of our project relying on the performance of theAI model with data
