The survey was designed to evaluate studentgrowth and changes in attitudes from the fall of each year to the spring of the same academicyear as an integral part of the latest S-STEM award. Each semester the survey is sent to anaverage of 480 ECS students. The fall response rate

As summarized in Section 6.0,student feedback on the workshop series was generally positive, with students appreciatinglearning about co-creation, getting practice in asking questions, and gaining knowledge aboutstructuring online educational modules. Compared to student comments from focus groupsconducted during the first year of the project [10], the current student group was less confusedabout the overall goals of the project and felt more prepared to carry out their two publicproducts, creating an online educational module and writing and presenting an academic paper.Overall, this research on integrating co-creation as a model in

In that academy, high school rising juniors and seniors were trained inSolidWorks 3D modeling software and guided through the design of their own scaled-downindustrial robots. Upon completion of their design, the students printed their designs using 3Dprinters and fabricated their robots into working prototypes. They then integrated their robotswith an Arduino PC board and programmed their robots to do pick and place

By documenting and answering frequent questions, the project teamhopes to provide a comprehensive resource for others interested in replicating the project orusing the data and results produced by the project.To scale the analyses, we have written an alpha version of an R package which is used tocalculate the curricular complexity metrics. It has undergone validation by reproducing resultsfrom a previous effort. Completing the R package is a significant milestone in the projectbecause it provides a platform for researchers to easily import and explore the curriculum mapswe produced. Moreover, the validation of the package provides additional confidence in theaccuracy and reliability of the results later in

Accelerated technology development is one macro-level factor that contributes tocivil engineers requiring agile technical skills (e.g., related to infrastructure, automation, virtualcollaboration, information access, and big data). Although technical knowledge is traditionallythe foundation of civil engineering education, the workforce also needs professional skills suchas leadership, teamwork, ethical reasoning, disciplinary boundary crossing, and communicationto be competitive and successful in the civil engineering profession [28]. With an agingworkforce and high turnover [12], it is imperative to integrate these non-technical competenciesin academic and professional curricula for current and future generations of engineers.

At theUniversity of Maryland, this philosophy was extended to high school students who are potentialapplicants to engineering programs. It is hypothesized that a number of good candidates forengineering programs may choose not to apply to or enroll in engineering programs because of alack of mathematics self-efficacy and engineering career awareness. Additionally, it is believedthat there is an additional cohort of students who choose to enroll in engineering programs

Community engaged learning is a type ofexperiential learning that adds benefits of engaging students with underserved communitieslocally or globally. Within engineering, the engagement is typically through design projects [2].Community-engaged design experiences place students and universities or colleges inpartnerships with organizations that address needs of underserved people.
