These student outcomes have beendivided into sub-outcome performance indicators which are divided into four performance levels (see Table1). The rubrics are used to apply program level tags to course performance. Our pilot framework alsoallows course specific content and skills tags to identify course outcomes that instructors may wish to track.There are two approaches we are exploring for applying tags in Gradescope. The first uses the built-inrubrics functionality in Gradescope and the second uses the Gradescope’s post-grading tags functionality

White students make up 64% of the share of engineering degreesawarded, while Black and Hispanic students make up 4% and 12% respectively (NCES, 2021)Research QuestionsThis research focuses on the following three research questions: 1. What impact, if any, does a project-based STEM curriculum have on the graduation rate of high school students? 2. Compared to matched non-PLTW students, how does participation in PLTW courses affect students’ likelihood to graduate with an engineering major compared to matched non-PLTW students? 3. Are there differential impact of the PLTW program on traditionally disadvantaged groups

accreditation issued by the Institute of Engineers,the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) in Singapore. The EAB documents focus mainly onhigher education engineering degree programs. However, a structure is needed to articulate thecore ideas in engineering appropriate for pre-college engineering education. Thus, established onextensive literature review and past empirical work, this study aims to identify critical indicatorsin engineering education at the K-12 level. Re-evaluating the definition of the critical indicatorsalso enables the study to outline criteria for pre-college engineering education. Therefore, in linewith this proposal, our research questions are (1) what are the key indicators for quality andcomprehensive engineering education at

when accomplishing this purpose. Specifically, a largeamount of information is considered indirect knowledge, or knowledge only reasonablyaccessible to a learner through social contact [1]. Further, within the learning context,interactions are adapted reciprocally by the learning environment and learner [2]. These andrelated foundations indicate that understanding the social aspect(s) of the learning environment isessential for understanding and improving learning.To identify and optimize social variables related to student learning, recent engineeringeducation literature shows a growing awareness of and interest in peer support. Theseobservations of student interactions and outcomes indicate improved learning, motivation, andself-efficacy due

occupy only 24% of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs,though research data shows that women constitute nearly half of the workforce in the UnitedStates [1-2]. Additionally, data shows that only 13% of engineers in the workforce are women[1-2]. In the last twenty years, there have been many efforts by educators and researchers toincrease the participation of women in STEM careers. Research shows that strategic interventionat the middle school-level can have great impacts on female students’ perspectives of careers inSTEM fields, as this time period is known to result in a decrease in girls’ self-esteem as theyenter adolescence [3]. Studies show that 66% of fourth grade girls report that they enjoy their

While progress was made in the early years of these efforts, for the past two decadesprogress has slowed to nearly a standstill. For the last two decades, only 20% of engineering degrees havebeen awarded to women [4]. If the engineering field wishes to increase gender parity in the field, we firstmust understand how women decide to become engineers.Efforts to recruit women into engineering begin long before they set foot in a college classroom

quantities ofcomplex-shaped parts with consistent quality.The purpose of this project is to introduce students to thermoforming and drape forming. Drapeforming is a simplified version of vacuum forming where a sheet of plastic is heated to asufficiently high temperature so that it can be formed around an object. The plastic sheet can beheated in an oven and stretched over the pattern using suction or vacuum. Thin-gaugethermoforming is used to manufacture parts such as containers, cups, lids and trays while thick-gauge thermoforming is used to make plastic pallets, vehicle door and dash panels, and utilityvehicle beds. Figure 1 shows the principle of thermoforming as described by Groover [1] . Thefundamentals of plastics thermoforming and tool design

[1] conducted an analysis of 147 studies on educational robotics andfound that youth participation in robotics activities enhances their knowledge in STEM fields,their perceived problem-solving abilities, and their interest in pursuing engineering careers.Several outreach programs for both students and teachers have been developed in this regard [2-9].

ReviewThere is a growing imperative for universities and faculty to create inclusive learningenvironments that acknowledge the diverse needs of learners and focus on creatingmeaningful learning experiences for all students, including underrepresented andmarginalized students. In addition to enhancing DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, andBelonging) in classrooms, recent studies have shown that inclusive learning environmentslead to better student outcomes, retention, and engagement [1]–[4]. Conversely, the absenceof such an environment acts as a barrier to student learning outcomes. Despite recognizingthis need, faculty may lack an awareness of inclusive practices or the best ways to integrateinclusive principles into their classrooms.There are

Accordingly, higher education institutions have been introducingand expanding online courses and online labs to meet this demand.

It can be motivating and rewarding for students to learn skills thatenable them to contribute to solving important problems of our time. There are many previouspapers that have described connections to real-world problems such as courses that are project-based [1], that address socially relevant problems [2], that include projects related to renewableenergy [3] and efficient lighting [4], and courses that have students design a health monitor [5],games [6], [7], musical instruments [8], wireless speakers [9], sensors for a
