If the country that they will be traveling to uses a language other than English, thesedays may focus on teaching basic conversational language skills. The language lessons arehighly interactive in that they rely on students speaking to each other rather than focusing onreading competence. These periods also include presentations, sometimes by guest speakers,about the history, people, food, customs, religion

With a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering and a certification to teach high school mathematics in Puerto Rico, Kevin has shaped his path to empower others in his learning process. He is currently a Ph.D. student at Purdue University studying Engineering Education. Social causes Kevin cares about are bringing more awareness about the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community in engineering, Belonging and deconstructing what Latinx actually means for communities like Puerto Rico. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com Where are the Gays?

Likewise, white students often overlook Black andBrown women when using laboratory equipment or delineating tasks having to do with figuringmathematics for the homework assignment [13].Marginalizing behaviors begin with team formation, where self-selection practices result in lessgender and racially diverse teams [14]. Team formation by self-selection is still pervasive despiteoverwhelming evidence of the problematic outcomes [14]. In cases where team formation iscontrolled by instructors, race, gender, and other salient characteristics that may serve as markersof difference within teams should be carefully considered in the execution of team-basedlearning.

The inaugural pilot workshop, titled SystemsAutomation Springboard to Internships (SASI), was held during the winter term of 2021. Studentswere sponsored by companies, who paid the workshop fee, and offered the students an internshipduring the summer of 2021.The content of the SASI workshop, spanning the full spectrum of automation, from fieldinstrumentation through enterprise control systems, is delivered through a mix of lectures,laboratory experiences, programming, and discussions with industry experts. The strength of theworkshop lies in the rich depth and variety of materials offered by a mix of eight industrialpractitioners and three academic instructors

These initiatives were prioritized in terms of timelines, resourceallocation, and personnel responsibilities as demanded by the program accreditation requirements,and were reviewed periodically. These strategies were found to be extremely useful in securingthe initial full-accreditation by ABET (in August of 2020) within five years of program inception,with the optimized use of limited resources of our small rural institution serving underrepresentedminority (URM; 77%, approximately 72% Hispanics) and academically underprepared students

Such bold realization, however, requires appropriate training and understanding ofhow assessments and hence teaching and learning change depending on the conceptualframework taken for all individuals involved (e.g., administrators, students).Research StructureStep 1 – Practice: Complementing the pedagogical/philosophical perspectives are the structure(e.g., research question, participants, and their way of participation) that shape the research. Theresearch structure can be considered as the detailed plan of steps taken throughout the research,with the overarching goal of answering a research goal. To study the research question,participants such as students are needed to be

In the year 3 AP environmental science course, we conducted two engineering modules.Engineering Module 1 (three meetings) focused on water resources engineering and occurred inthe fall. The project team gave two lectures on water resources engineering. Then, in a field tripto the local university, the students delineated a local watershed of their choice using theprofessional engineering software suite Arc GIS© (Esri; Redlands, CA) and took a tour of theenvironmental engineering laboratories. In Engineering Module 2 (nine meetings), whichoccurred in the spring, groups of three to four students were tasked with a semester-long waterfilter design and construction project.

Students were sent home within just weeks of the start of the semester.Following this brief return to online instruction, the university shifted to a hybrid mode throughthe Fall, and by Spring 2021, many studios and laboratory environments were running in-person.For me, the first author of this paper, these transitions appeared to have implications for ourstudent communities, especially those of engineering students who were used to the traditionalin-person learning environment as the expected experience completely and immediatelydisappeared.

This focus on assets-basedapproaches may be due to the predominantly qualitative nature of the reviewed literature, or thefact that none of the empirical research studies about undergraduate military students inengineering education are more than six years old given the recent shift towards JEDI inengineering education. No matter the cause, this research approach builds a foundation for futureresearch that is both inclusive of and equitable to military students.Synthesis of Research OutcomesOur synthesis of this literature points to some key research outcomes that have implications forcurrent teaching practice and ongoing research related to military students in engineeringeducation.
