flipped design in engineering to the broader educational models cited in literature.Data SourcesThe primary data source for this study came from the gradebooks for each class. Though theclasses were taught in different manners, they were identical in terms of assignments, quizzes,and exams. The classes shared a common Gradescope online grade database, in whichhomework sets, quizzes, and exams were uploaded and graded using a common set of metrics.Homework sets and quizzes were graded by student graders, whereas the exams were graded byinstructors. Each homework, quiz, or exam problem was graded by the same person across allclass sections, e.g. the first midterm exam was graded by only two instructors, who each gradedone of the two exam questions
withconfusion or discomfort in response to the ambiguity inherent in futures thinking. However, bythe end of the exercises, many express enthusiasm for their insights and demonstrate increasedconfidence, particularly in group discussions. Tables 3–6 outline specific tasks that can beintegrated into existing engineering education curricula. These activities offer a promisingfoundation for future pilot studies that could evaluate both student deliverables and the learningmechanisms at play, paving the way for more rigorous research in this area.Figure 4: Left – A newspaper from the future created by a participating team.

These are stilllargely classroom based, incorporating lectures, guest speakers, case studies, and groupdiscussion [31,32]. The curricular programs expose students to a wide range of subjects anentrepreneur may need, mainly focused around business education, so they may develop as abusiness generalist [1,33,34]. Many other places outside of business schools are offeringentrepreneurship education, most prevalently in the engineering schools [1].Educating the entrepreneur to be a generalist probably comes from the notion that entrepreneursneed to be able to cut across several disciplines to mobilize resources toward an end goal [6].

Education, 2021 Cultural dimensions in academic disciplines, a comparison between Ecuador and the United States of AmericaAbstractBroadening participation in engineering has been part of the engineering education researchagenda for years. We argue that if we can understand the traits of the different dimensions ofculture in engineering, we can identify potential solutions to broaden participation. In this study,we are comparing how engineering students from Ecuador and the United States characterizetheir culture orientation based on Hofstede´s cultural dimensions theory. Data were collectedwith engineering students at major polytechnic universities in Ecuador and the United States.The survey was translated into Spanish for the
underrepresented groups, is paramount to meet the needs of the currentand future generations1. Though the United States is in a demographic shift with an increasingpopulation of ethnic minorities, they remain heavily underrepresented in the science andengineering fields2. In order to decrease this gap within the growing population, the countrywould need to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing engineering by three-fold1. Researchers suggest that one way to meet this demand and increase the pipeline of womenand minorities is to focus on K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)preparatory programs2. In fact, Arizona, the setting for this research study, has a large Latinxpopulation (30%) and offers an opportunity to

STEM fields individually, relying onperformance-competency as an indicator for identity along with recognition and interest. Theirresearch acknowledged that recognition and interest can be difficult to define depending on astudent’s understanding of what is involved in STEM fields and students are not yet in careerpositions for professional recognition. As a result, performance-competency can capture bothability and perception of efficacy, and it is a predictor for better performance [11]. Additionally,greater STEM self-efficacy has been shown to predict improved STEM performance [1]. While some studies have separated engineering from other STEM fields for more specificunderstanding of the profession [45], [46], this paper also

and undergraduate mentees. Building upon the success of the pilot year ofthe program, this study formally examines the effectiveness of the GradTrack program in itssecond year.Specifically, this study aims to address two questions: A) Does the GradTrack Scholars Programprepare participating undergraduate students for graduate school? and B) Does GradTrack assistin the professional development and sense of belonging for graduate student mentors? Toevaluate these questions, this research paper uses pre- and post-event surveys and a focus groupof mentors from the 2022 GradTrack cohort. This paper will also discuss modifications madebetween the first two years of the program. The results of this assessment and ideas forimplementation across other

Thequestionnaire comprised two main areas: active-like and passive-like teaching methods.One hundred survey questionnaires were distributed to construction project managementstudents and fifty-six were returned giving a response rate of fifty-six percent. By using anexploratory case study approach, quantitative data was gathered in order to highlight somekey phenomena about students‟ views towards teaching methods. These phenomena werethen explored qualitatively in more depth using focus group interviews in order to gaininsights into the way these students experienced different teaching methods. The students
